Over the Rainbow: The Big Heat (1953)
http://bernardwelt.blogspot.com/2011/02/big-heat-1953.html
Friday, February 11, 2011. The Big Heat (1953). From my class blog at Sex in American Cinema. Another film noir classic from Fritz Lang. In The Big Heat.

Over the Rainbow: The Sheik
http://bernardwelt.blogspot.com/2011/02/sheik.html
Friday, February 11, 2011. From my class blog at Sex in American Cinema. The plot of The Sheik. Is very different from that of Our Modern Maidens. But the mixed message about women and sexuality is the same. Labels: Sex in Cinema. Might be interesting to complement this viewing with Ken Russells Valentino, a film about the dancer/actors life story seen through the women who loved him. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Over the Rainbow: Poem
http://bernardwelt.blogspot.com/2011/02/poem.html
Saturday, February 12, 2011. All of a sudden I’m feeling that traffic-. Light yellow is really a beautiful color. Is it. The tint, do you think, or the luminosity, with all its. Terrible and endearing associations- “the force that through the green. Fuse drives the flower”? Quotation is just plagiarism with a human face. I began by thinking I might actually have an idea there, but I wrote something instead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). St Dorothy of Oz. Our Modern Maidens - After the Wedding.

Over the Rainbow: Our Modern Maidens - Billie and Glenn
http://bernardwelt.blogspot.com/2011/02/our-modern-maidens-billie-and-glenn.html
Friday, February 11, 2011. Our Modern Maidens - Billie and Glenn. From my class blog at Sex in American Cinema. When Glenn realizes Billie has been using him, he takes his revenge by pretending to believe she is as "modern" as she says, and then rejecting her. The scene exemplifies the great paradox of sexual innocence and seduction in Hollywood cinema: A woman is insulted if a man attempts to seduce her, and just as insulted if he doesn't want to.
