Topic: Hangover Square


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Hanover Square, Syracuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hanover Square is a tiny triangular square in Downtown Syracuse, New York.
It is one of the older plazas of the city, and more recently Hanover Square is becoming a mixed-use combination of shops, restaurants, offices, and living space.
At the turn of the 20th century, this square was the center of the dive and tavern district, thus receiving the nickname, "Hangover Square".

 Hanover Square
The triangular shape of the square was formed in the early 19th century when the city's new grid street system was superimposed on the diagonal route of the early Genesee Turnpike (today Genesee Street).
Owners of the wooden buildings across the square to the south, envious of the newly erected brick structures, agreed in 1834 to erect a similar row of brick buildings along East Genesee.
Because Hanover Square was so compact, and the lots so small, it was not easily incorporated into the large urban renewal projects that leveled whole city blocks just a few yards away.

 The Lodger / Hangover Square
Greatly superior was Hangover Square (1945) filmed immediately after The Lodger with the same writer (Barre Lyndon) and Brahm again at the helm.
Set in London's Hangover Square in 1903, Bone is working on a concerto- a beautifully composed work by Bernard Herrman- for his sponsor, Sir Henry Chapman (the always competent Alan Napier) and his daughter (Faye Marlowe) who loves Bone unreservedly.
Hangover Square was released in February 1945, two months after he died.

 The Public Square
Walking to the squares from various places downtown usually isn't a problem, although city traffic has to be negotiated when the city has not temporarily closed streets on the perimeter.
The center of Hanover Square needs to be redesigned, perhaps returning it to something more like its state in the 1920's; the current fountain and related structures are more of an impediment to activities in the Square than an enhancement.
Like Armory Square, the most immediate danger for Hanover Square is that taverns will come to dominate, frightening away other types of shops and other types of visitors -- remember what PPS had to say about spaces that attract only singles.

 Linda Darnell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She was chosen by a talent scout to go to Hollywood but was sent home to Dallas when the scout discovered she had lied about her age.
By 1939 Darnell had returned to Hollywood and immediately began to secure good roles, appearing in such films as Blood and Sand, Hangover Square and My Darling Clementine.
She was cast uncredited as the Virgin Mary in The Song of Bernadette in 1943, in a controversial move by director Darryl F. Zanuck.

 Guardian | A life less ordinary
As well as the compellingly tragic life there were hints of Hamilton's overwhelming greatness: the sour thrills of Hangover Square, the grim comedy of Slaves of Solitude, the full-blooded horror of the plays, Rope and Gaslight.
Newcomers will hopefully rush out for a copy of Hangover Square and prepare themselves for the literary ride of their lives.

The film in question, "Hangover Square", is almost forgotten today, though it was one of Twentieth Century-Fox's major releases of 1945.
"Hangover Square"'s vivid climax takes place at the premiere of Bone's piano concerto, during which Bone manages to literally set fire to the concert hall.
Herrmann's "Hangover Square" concerto, with its spooky, jagged dissonances tempered by surging themes of romantic longing, was far closer in tone to 1940’s Hollywood than to anything that would have been composed in Edwardian London.

 IN THE FRAME, Vince Keenan
Hangover Square’s structure is somewhat repetitive, and the book is shot through with a sense of foreboding that verges on oppressive.
Film aside: Hangover Square was adapted for the screen in 1945.
The critic David Thomson calls the movie “a wretched travesty of Patrick Hamilton’s novel,”; and notes that “Hangover Square – for all (director John) Brahm’s style, and Bernard Herrmann’s mad music – still waits to be filmed properly.”

 [No title]
In The Slaves of Solitude, a war novel, there are no actual machine guns spitting or artillery blasting; rather there is the drone of bombers, the shortages, and - crucially - the newsreels in the cinema: "war pictures, naturally" which make the all encompassing nature of the conflict clear.
But the basic form of the novel is indebted to film; this is especially the case in Hangover Square - as the text breaks down into what could be read as a shooting script or annotations to celluloid.
In Hangover Square the same dried language can be seen, but there is also, horrifically, the use Netta makes of language to torture poor Bone:

from Whitehall, PA While I understand this bears little resemblance to the novel it's based on, HANGOVER SQUARE is still a suspenseful period nail-biter.
Amid gorgeous Edwardian settings, George Sanders is as suave as ever, and Linda Darnell is so convincing as the selfish, grasping songbird who uses and dumps poor Laird Cregar that you're rooting for him to hear a loud noise, go nuts, and strangle her.
Admittedly, I couldn't help thinking about this as I watched HANGOVER SQUARE, but even if you don't know anything about Cregar's short life, this is a corker of a thriller.

Hangover Square, On Dangerous Ground and Beneath the 12-Mile Reef are hardly renowned cinematic gems.
The suite from Hangover Square is a very brooding and turbulant mini piano concerto that is derived from the main material from the score, much in the way that Rozsa extracted sections from Spellbound for his Concerto for Orchestra based on the original score.
It is more of a mini concerto of several short movements which each encapsulate the differing moods of the central character.

Although the architecture hasn't changed, a walk along the historic square reveals new pavement, curbs, cobblestone crosswalks and streetlights that resemble gas lamps.

I was drawn to this book because it sounded similar to Patrick Hamilton's "Hangover Square", a book I like so much I re-read it every couple of years.
I wouldn't personally say it was as good as Hamilton's novel, simply because it doesn't possess the same seering emotional intensity which runs through "Hangover Square", and which can at times make it such a disturbing read.
Like "Hangover Square" this is set in the months running up to the Second World War.

The blurb advises that Hangover Square is the story of George Harvey Bone, helplessly infatuated with Netta Longdon.
The twist is that Bone suffers from 'dead' moments, when something goes click in his head and he realises that he must kill the object of his desire.

Hi - I can't find any values for the constable 1st edition of Patrick Hamilton's Hangover Square.
A copy of the first American edition (1942) was sold at a Bloomsbury auction last year for roughly $380 in U.S. currency, but in a lot containing 3 other Hamilton titles, so it's impossible to establish what Hangover Square by itself would have sold for.

 Major minor - Arts - The Phoenix
The difference between those chestnuts and Hangover Square (1941, just reissued by Europa Editions) is the difference between entertaining, well-constructed melodrama and the kind of work that, once you’ve read it, becomes forever after a part of your experience.
The book’s low-life setting, the gin mills and music halls, the cheap hotels and tea stalls around London’s Earl’s Court in the months leading to the August 1939 outbreak of World War II, links it to the work of American pulp writers from the ’40s and ’50s.
Hangover Square doesn’t encourage daydreams of slumming among the down-and-out.

In Hangover Square Patrick Hamilton immortalized the conversational tone of a whole generation, brilliantly catching the slang, the idiocies of everyday speech, the sleaze, vitality and premonitions of doom that pervaded London life during the uneasy months before the outbreak of the Second World War.
