A Run for Your Money (1949) Charles Frend

February 6th 2023

This might have been a pacifist film if Hawkins and Holden had blown up the bridge while all the British prisoners were lined up on it, and even that wouldn't have proved anything, for the analogous depth-charge episode in The Cruel Sea doesn't lead to a pacifist reaction. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs and you can't make war without scrambling a few guts. In America, even better class audiences, it appears, shriek 'Kill Him! kill him!' as Nicholson tries to save his bridge. Industrial hall audiences here don't shriek, and they feel sorry for him, but - he's got to go. For the anti-Nicholson audience, the doctor's cry - 'Madness! madness!' - refers to Nicholson's actions. For the pro-Nicholson audience, it condemns the destructiveness of war. For those who feel with both sides, even if they know that Nicholson must die, it underlies the tragic criss-cross of heroisms of which the greatest has gone wrong, in a convulsive and challenging way. Nicholson's own evolution is not particularised. Is the bridge, for him, a symbol of the unconquerable quality which he, and his men, can show? Is it an emblem of honour, beyond all question of usefulness? Or do its associations with engineering relate it to the long utilitarian-liberal-middle-class tradition with its pacifist leanings (the merchant skipper of Billy Budd is an earlier champion of the same creed)!

The history of sea travel in cinema reflects the evolution of cinematic storytelling and the enduring fascination with maritime adventures. From the early days of silent films to the present, ships and sea voyages have provided filmmakers with a rich tapestry of narratives. In the early 20th century, silent films like The Sea Beast (1926) and The Sea Hawk (1924) showcased maritime adventures with…

For #FishyFriday:

Dish, c.1880 Designed by William Frend De Morgan (English, 1839-1917) Made by William De Morgan Pottery (Chelsea, London, 1872-1881) tin-glazed earthenware Art Institute of Chicago

“The artists associated with the British Arts and Crafts movement responded to machine production in various ways. While designers like William Arthur Smith Benson--whose brass and copper wall sconces are displayed at left--embraced the machine as an efficient way to produce good design for the masses, the two designers represented in this vitrine, William Frend De Morgan and Charles Robert Ashbee, held fast to the idea of handwork and cooperative, guild-based production.

Like much of De Morgan's work, this plate incorporates a pastiche of Near Eastern motifs and luster decoration, a technique used in ninth-century Egypt, Persia (now Iran), and Syria.”

Sabotage (Alfred Hitchcock, 1936)

Cast:  Sylvia Sidney, Oskar Homolka, Desmond Tester, John Loder, Joyce Barbour, Matthew Bolton, S.J. Warmington, William Dewhurst. Screenplay: Charles Bennett, Ian Hay, Helen Simpson, based on a novel by Joseph Conrad.  Cinematography: Bernard Knowles. Art direction: Oscar Friedrich Werndorff. Film editing: Charles Frend. Music: Herbert Bath, Jack Beaver, Louis Leavy. 

In one of the coldest-hearted scenes ever put on film, a young boy plays with a puppy held by a woman seated next to him on a London bus, and then they are blown to bits by the bomb he has unwittingly been carrying. The scene would be less shocking if we hadn't spent a good part of the movie getting to know Stevie (Desmond Tester), the younger brother of Mrs. Verloc (Sylvia Sidney), whose husband (Oskar Homolka) belongs to a terrorist group. We have seen Stevie carrying his lethal package, which Verloc has commissioned him to leave at a specific location by a certain time, and we have grown fond of him when he is detained by a street hawker selling toothpaste and hair tonic and pauses to watch a parade. As the fatal time grows closer, we feel sure that something will happen to defuse the bomb, as usually happens in movies, so its detonation comes as a reversal of movie convention, one so radical that even Hitchcock will not attempt anything quite like it until he kills off the star of Psycho in mid-film 24 years later. (Even then, he will not do anything so sadistic as add a puppy to the scene.) Sabotage is not one of Hitchcock's more famous movies -- it's often confused with his Saboteur (1942). But it is, I think, one of his most characteristic because of his willingness to violate convention. The film is based on Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent -- a title he couldn't use because it was the title of his other 1936 release, an adaptation of a Somerset Maugham story that starred John Gielgud and Madeleine Carroll. But Sabotage is closer to Kafka than to Conrad, a film that verges on the surreal and dreamlike at times. The Verlocs own a movie theater and their home is separated from it by a passageway behind the screen, so that sometimes the sounds from the movies that are playing enter their daily lives. Stunned by Stevie's death, Mrs. Verloc goes out into the theater, where a Disney short, "Who Killed Cock Robin?" is playing, and suddenly begins laughing at the absurd cartoon action. Much else in the film is similarly askew: The bomb-maker, for example, keeps his explosives in ketchup bottles and condiments jars, and when he goes to get the bomb for Verloc, he finds his granddaughter's doll in the cabinet. (If, indeed, she's his granddaughter -- there's much coy mystery about that.) There's an oddball romance between Mrs. Verloc and Ted (John Loder), the Scotland Yard detective who works undercover at the greengrocers' next to the Verlocs' theater, keeping an eye on Verloc. And the ending is a mare's nest of ambiguities that don't lend themselves to summary. What keeps the movie from descending into incoherence is Hitchcock's sure sense of style and the occasionally expressionistic cinematography of Bernard Knowles. Later, Hitchcock would regret the way he handled Stevie's death, but it remains consistent with the haunting effect of the film as a whole.

Even though he was from the government, Burt was starting to like this guy, even if it was just a little

Frend :3

BURT: "thanks, man... though I'm surprised you're being nice to someone that's on the enemy side-"

CHARLES: "I can't even do interrogations with criminals because I always play good cop. Can't help it-"

Anthony Asquith is sometimes claimed as a pacifist, largely on the strength of Tell England (co-directed with Geoffrey Barkas, 1931), though it's no more pacifist than The Cruel Sea. And there's an admirable repudiation of pacifism in his Guns of Darkness (1962), in which two English citizens (David Niven, Leslie Caron) come to see the necessity for armed revolt, by guerrillas, against, not simply a right-wing dictator, but domination by foreign capital. This is a rare example of a British film advocating the overthrow of any status quo, and it takes, in principle, a pro-Castro line.
