Far From Toy Trains

I trace the film historical roots of Todd Haynes\u27 film, Carol (2015), including Orson Welles\u27 Citizen Kane (1941), Billy Wilder\u27s Sunset Boulevard (1950), Douglas Sirk\u27s All That Heaven Allows (1956), and Charles and Ray Eames\u27 Toccata For Toy Trains (1957)

I Am Big, It’s the Pictures That Got Small: Sound Technologies and Franz Waxman’s Scores for Sunset Boulevard (1950) and The Twilight Zone’s “The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine” (1959)

Franz Waxman composed over 150 film scores, the most famous of which is Billy Wilder’s film noir Sunset Boulevard (1950). The film plot bears a striking resemblance to Rod Serling’s teleplay for The Twilight Zone, “The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine” (1959). Waxman, composer of the film, was approached to compose a score for a television episode that was what many term a shortened version of Wilder’s film for the small screen, but with supernatural elements. This article serves to remedy the dearth of literature on this topic and to form an examination of the ways that Waxman conceived of music to accompany films with similar themes but on different screens. Through this comparison of the two scores, a clearer picture of Waxman’s approaches to composing music for moving images will be presented

Sunset Boulevard in Spanish Performance: Translations on the Musical Stage

This article focuses on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Sunset Boulevard (1993), in order to present some relevant aspects of the production and reception of musicals both in an original and a target context. The study will first describe the eventful creative process of this musical text in its Anglophone source contexts, and will then move on to examine it from the perspective of its performance in Spanish translation. Recently translated for a Spanish-language production staged in Tenerife in 2017 (soon followed by another one in Argentina in 2018), Sunset Boulevard is a good example of the powerful impact that the importation of Anglo-American musicals has had in Spain in recent decades (see Mateo 2008) while it also serves to illustrate interesting aspects of the evolution and current situation of musicals’ production in this country. This macro-level study will therefore examine Lloyd Webber’s musical performed in sung translation, addressing it from a contextual standpoint and with a focus in Spain, with the aim of contributing to a deeper knowledge of theatre translation when it involves musical plays

ROSA AMBRÓSIO E NORMA DESMOND: DUAS ATRIZES, A MESMA HISTÓRIA?

A atriz, quando chega à velhice, enfrenta problemas tanto de ordem física, quanto psicológica. Norma Desmond, de Sunset Boulevard [Crepúsculo dos deuses], do script cinematográfico (1950) de Billy Wilder e Rosa Ambrósio, de As horas nuas (1989), de Lygia Fagundes Telles exemplificam tal situação. Künstlerromane, os textos explicitam a reação destas atrizes ao desafio que a velhice provoca. Na História da Literatura, este gênero (genre) valoriza uma estética que sustenta a écriture/leitura da mulher-artista (gender), enquanto heroína.Palavras-chave: As horas nuas; Lygia Fagundes Telles; Sunset Boulevard; Mulher-artista; Künstlerromane (romances de artista)

You Need the Words?: Portrayals of Romantic Anxiety in Film

Viewers’ interpretations of characters with anxious attitudes in romantic relationships can affect their opinions on what constitutes appropriate relationship behavior. This paper analyzes the impact of media on people through a literature review and offers an explanation of different portrayals of romantic anxiety in film: the language used to describe characters and characters’ ends. The films studied - Sunset Boulevard, Sid and Nancy, Hard Core Logo, Burnt Money, and The Hustler - all showed a pattern where a character with romantic anxiety was mistreated by the storyline or other characters, and most of these characters meet their end through suicide or murder. The impact of these types of negative portrayals have not yet been explored, but similar studies find that viewers watch films to learn the norms of their community (Levy, 1990), and negative portrayals of romantic anxiety could lead to negative effects for anxious individuals. Further studies using questionnaires and focus groups are recommended in order to better understand the impact of these messages, viewer awareness, and sources of exposure
