		The film itself (in spite of the old shoe) is in the archives of the Library of Congress of the United States Government.
		I caught a cold that threatened to develop into pneumonia, so in the scenes where Cathy has to search for Heathcliff in the rain, Cathy was forced to wear what skindivers call a wet-suit under her silk dress, the rain had to be warmed, and Alice, my stand-in, had to bear most of the storm.

		The 1939 film's ending, which makes Dorothy's trip to Oz a dream brought on by her bump on the head, is a nod to the 1925 film.
		That 1925 film also introduces the farm hands that are transformed into characters in Oz (the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion), as in the 1939 film.
		Miss Gulch (in the Judy Garland film) converting into the Wicked Witch of the West is an extension of this technique, and unique to the 1939 film.

	The Wizard of Oz (1939) - The Film Guide
		At the beginning of the film, Dorothy is telling the three farm hands about her conflict with a local rich, stern and humorless woman, Almira Gulch (played by Margaret Hamilton, who also plays the Witch of the West).
		On December 23, 1938, during a second filming of her departure from Munchkinland the lift Margaret Hamilton was standing on did not go down fast enough.
		Several film scholars have written interesting interpretations of the film, including several attempts by structuralist semiologists suggesting that the film was intended to prepare America for entry into war, although this ignores the fact that the Second World War had not yet started.

	Gone With The Wind (1939)
		The famous film, shot in three-strip Technicolor, is cinema's greatest, star-studded, historical epic film of the Old South during wartime that boasts an immortal cast in a timeless, classic tale of a love-hate romance.
		The film (originally rough-cut at 6 hours in length) was challenging in its making, due to its controversial subject matter (including rape, drunkenness, moral dissipation and adultery) and its epic qualities, with more than 50 speaking roles and 2,400 extras.
		The film extends over a time period of twelve years in the life of narcissistic plantation belle Scarlett O'Hara, from the start of the Civil War through the Reconstruction Period, and covers her various romantic pursuits against the backdrop of historical events.

	Wuthering Heights (1939)
		Filmed with haunting beauty, it is the first film dramatization of Emily Bronte's wildly passionate 1847 best-selling literary masterpiece, from a screenplay written by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur (concentrating on the first two-thirds or 17 chapters of the 34 chapter book).
		Each of the leading actors began work on the film under miserable circumstances, including the fact that both had their own lovers in England - Merle Oberon had recently fallen in love with Alexander Korda (a major British film figure), and Olivier was separated from his girlfriend/fiancee Vivien Leigh, also in London.
		For both its major stars, however, the film turned out to be advantageous - it was contract player Merle Oberon's best work in her entire film career, and it established Laurence Olivier as a dashing, leading international film actor (he was nominated as Best Actor for his role).

		It premiered at the Strand Theatre in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin on August 12, 1939, and in Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theater on August 15.
		The film's basic plot is not very different from the original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but quite a bit less detailed.
		Another counterargument would be that in the more widely-distributed version of the film, this was not necessarily an ordinary dream -- her uncle comments that "for awhile there we thought you were going to leave us" -- and that her experience might have been "real", but in another dimension.

	Film History of the 1930s
		The 30s was also the decade of the sound and color revolutions and the advance of the 'talkies', and the further development of film genres (gangster films, musicals, newspaper-reporting films, historical biopics, social-realism films, lighthearted screwball comedies, westerns and horror to name a few).
		It was the era in which the silent period ended, with many silent film stars not making the transition to sound (e.g., Vilmy Banky, John Gilbert, and Norma Talmadge).

		Polar archivist Laura Kissel said on Tuesday the two 16mm reels from the 1939 expedition were chosen for restoration because little material exists from that trek.
		The National Film and Preservation Foundation, which awarded the grant, liked the Richardson films because they show an insider's perspective and represent some of the first color footage of Antarctica, said Jeff Lambert, assistant director of the foundation.
		Bob Wagner, an OSU professor emeritus and former chairman of the Cinema and Photography Department, said the 16mm reels are the most interesting because Richardson carried his camera with him.

		MGM decided to create new music for the 1939 film instead of using music from the stage version, in which most of the songs had little to do with the Oz story.
		In the film, the songs were designed to develop the characters or advance the plot, a practice that became standard, but was unusual for films at that time.

		The focus of the quarterly Film News Index was on nontheatrical films available in 16mm for public use in the home, school, and public assembly places.
		The preface to this index provides a brief but very informative overview of the history of the nontheatrical film in the education of the public, primarily in the United States, but abroad as well.
		The volume provides an invaluable research guide to an important part of American film history that generations of Americans experienced not in the theater but in the public library, the classroom, or the assembly hall--wherever citizens of all ages gathered to become better informed about their world.

	"Buck Rogers" Film Serial (1939)
		The films are in fact so similar that they could be considered as members of the same series.
		The only similarity between this serial's premise and that of its newspaper strip predecessor, is the fact that Buck Rogers is put to sleep for 500 years.
		As with the Gordon serials, Buck Rogers was filmed with more care and a larger budget than usual, and it effectively captures the vitality of the newspaper strip despite its subtle differences.

	The Technicolor Mikado Film
		This film was a landmark in Gilbert and Sullivan history, the first time that a complete Savoy Opera was filmed for the silver screen.
		I have in front of me the programme for the première of this film and can confirm it was 12th January 1939 at The Leicester Square Theatre and was given in aid of the Boy Scouts Appeal Fund in the presence of the then Duke and Duchess of Kent.
		In the film as distributed on home video, there is no placard, but there are set encores for "Here's a how de do" and "The flowers that bloom in the spring." It is not clear how many others may have been filmed that are no longer in distribution.

		Incidentally, Elizabeth Paynter has changed her name for the film version of this opera from Nickell-Lean to Paynter, a name so well-known to Gilbert and Sullivan audiences.
		The films now began to claim her, and she appeared in He Loved An Actress, and Such is Life.
		She is beautiful, petite, and artful or artless as needs be, the part befits her to perfection, and as in any mood her voice is one of sweetness, there remains not a doubt but that her impression will be one of the happiest ever affected in the history of the screen.

	Gunga Din (1939) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		But since it's a guys' film, the accent here is on how the threesome must stay together and save Ballantine from a fate worse than death, not only marriage, but as Cutter indignantly exclaims several times, the tea business, too.
		The political correctness police are hard on this film, not so much for the gender issue but the idea of British soldiers saving poor Indians from the vicious Thuggies.
		Still, it seems like the messages were flying fast and furious in "Gunga Din." I watch the film now and wonder if audiences back then were meant to wonder what Gunga Din was really up to when he led Cutter to the golden temple.
