In The Cinematic Connery A. J. Black delves into Sean Connery's life for more than mere biography, exploring not just the enormously varied pictures he made but also the sweep of a career that crossed movie eras as well as decades.

Often hailed as the 'best' James Bond film, From Russia With Love (1963) is celebrated for its direction by Terence Young, memorable performances from Sean Connery in his second outing as 007, Pedro Armendáriz as Kerim, Lotte Lenya as the lesbian villain Colonel Rosa Klebb, and Robert Shaw as Red Grant, the sexually ambiguous SPECTRE assassin. And regardless of its place within the longest-running continuous film series in cinema history, it is also an outstanding example of the British spy thriller in its own right.Llewella Chapman's study of the iconic film pinpoints its place within the James Bond film franchise, and its significant cultural value to critics and fans as well as this film's important place within British cinema history more widely. Drawing on a broad range of archival sources, Chapman traces the film's development and production history, including its adaptation from Ian Fleming's source novel, as well as its reception and lasting impact. Chapman also considers the film's portrayal of gender politics, with its queer villains counterpoised with the heterosexual couple Bond and his Russian counterpart Tatiana Romanova, the context of Cold War politics, and the influence of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959).

The full scripts of award-winning Downton Abbey, season one including previously unseen materialDownton Abbey has become an international phenomenon and the most successful British drama of our time. Created by Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes, the first season delighted viewers and critics alike with stellar performances, ravishing costumes, and a gripping plot. Set in a grand country house during the late Edwardian era, season one of Downton Abbey follows the lives of the Crawley family upstairs and their servants downstairs as they approach the announcement of the First World War. Fellowes succeeds in not only entertaining his audience with a combination of sustained storylines and sharp one-liners but also in delivering a social commentary of British life. The scripts from season one give readers the opportunity to read the work in more detail and to study the characters, pace, and themes in depth. With extended commentary from Fellowes, highlighting key historical or dramatic details, this book gives invaluable insight, particularly for would-be screenwriters, into how Fellowes researched and crafted the world of Downton Abbey.Featuring full-color photographs

Virkelighedens fortællinger er den første bog om den danske tv-dokumentarismes historie. Som Ib Bondebjerg skriver i bogens indledning, handler den om "danskernes virkelighed spejlet gennem tv-dokumentarismen i den begivenhedsrige år fra fjernsynets barndom i 1950'erne til den globaliserede medievirkelighed efter årtusindskiftet". Således er bogen både tv-historie, genrehistorie og kultur- og socialhistorie. Bogen rummer en delvis ny teori om dokumentarismens hovedgenrer og æstetik og deres forhold til virkeligheden og modtageren. Den danske dokumentarismes historie beskrives i tre store perioder: 1. I perioden 1951-1964 finder tv-dokumentarismen sine egne ben, men der laves allerede tidligt fremragende udsendelser. 2. Perioden 1964-1988 er DR's klassiske monopolperiode med et bredt register af dokumentariske genrer fra de kritisk undersøgende til de dramatiserede former og med B&U' s frække eksperimenter. 3. Perioden 1988-2001 er kendetegnet ved monopolbruddets og globaliseringens tidsalder. Perioden er først præget af en stærk periode og siden af en periode med krise og opbrud.

”Visioner” er historien om DR Symfoniorkestret og DR. Den er blandt andet formet af dramatiske kampe – i direktion og bestyrelse, såvel som mellem medarbejdere, musikere og chefer. Et af omdrejningspunkterne er DR’s udflytning til Ørestaden fra den hemmelige idéundfangelse til åbningen af den imposante koncertsal i Koncerthuset 10 år senere; andre er symfoniorkestrets virksomhed set både i relation til DR og i relation til det danske og københavnske musikliv gennem 100 år, musikkrigen i 1960’erne, Per Erik Veng-æraen frem til Vengs dramatiske fyring i 2007, styringen af DR og Koncerthusets drift i de første svære år.I bogen skildres DR Symfoniorkestrets udvikling og koncertvirksomhed under store dirigenter som Nicolai Malko, Fritz Busch, Herbert Blomstedt, Celibidache, Leif Segerstam, Thomas Dausgaard og Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, og historien føres helt frem til orkestrets nuværende chefdirigent Fabio Luisi; men symfoniorkestrets historie er nødvendigvis også DR’s historie. Med årene bliver samhørigheden mellem orkester og institution stadig tydeligere – især fra monopolbruddet i 1988 og frem, hvor det ikke mindst er symfoniorkestrets tilknytning til institutionen, der positionerer DR som landets største kulturinstitution. Fremstillingen breder sig derfor ud fra dette forgreningspunkt til at favne hele institutionens politiske, ledelsesmæssige, økonomiske, programpolitiske og strukturelle lag. DR Symfoniorkestrets udvikling spejles indadtil i DR.Historien om DR Symfoniorkestret er en bred historisk fremstilling om de visioner, der gennem 100 år har formet DR Symfoniorkestret og DR. Fra Emil Holms vision om, at opbygningen af et dansk symfoniorkester af internationalt format kan ske i radioens regi, til orkesterchefen Per Erik Vengs vision om at genrejse symfoniorkestret som Danmarks nationalorkester og generaldirektør Christian Nissens vision om at ændre DR fra at være en produktionsvirksomhed til en udsendelsesvirksomhed og monumentalisere enhedsorganisationstanken i DR Byen i Ørestaden. Til sidst følger både koncerthuschefen Leif Lønsmanns vision om det mangfoldige koncerthus for hele befolkningen og bestyrelsesformand Michael Christiansens vision om at sætte kunsten og kulturen i centrum i DR.

Hele Danmarks Radio i 100 år fortalt gennem de mest kendte programmer i radio og på tv og de mennesker, der skabte dem. Det har kostet blod, sved og tårer, når de kreative kampe bag kulisserne blev udkæmpet om nyheder, sport, musik, drama, julekalendere, radiodokumentar, pausefisk og meget, meget mere. Få hele historien fra Statsradiofoniens første radioudsendelser i 1925, over besættelsens svære tider i Radiohuset, tv i både sort/hvid og farver og videre helt frem til DR i en digital verden.

En samtalebog om vennevanvid, tryghedstimer og stjernestunder.De er larmende, udadvendte, inspirerende – og ofte lidt for meget.En personlighedstest har vist, at alle i parrene Fisker og Pilgaard er gule typer. Når de mødes, går snakken, og der er plads til alt. ALT.Den gule bog inviterer læseren med i sommerhus, hvor parrene snakker hæmningsløst og nysgerrigt om at være venner.Med meget på hjerte runder de kunsten at lytte og rumme. På tværs af alder, køn og familieliv har parrene bygget et ubrydeligt bånd, hvor kernen er accept.De blotter sig og deler tanker og oplevelser om at være hinandens livsvidner, når de taler om svigt, konflikter og tilgivelse. Om børn og barnløshed. Om at finde sin sti og vælge sin egen familie. Om loyalitet, aldersforskel, selvværd, usikkerhed – og om at blive ved med at lege.Undervejs lærer de nyt om hinanden og sig selv, overvældes af frygt for at miste og erfarer endnu engang, at de stærkeste relationer er aldeles uperfekte.

Michael Meyerheim har gennem fire årtier været en af dansk tv’s mest markante profiler. Han har introduceret seerne for Lykkehjulet, morgen-tv og det klassiske talkshow, og som tv-vært har han i tusindvis af interviews forfinet samtalens kunst.Som efterkommer af jødiske flygtninge er han præget af en voldsom familiehistorie. Den historie deler han her for første gang. Trods en stor usikkerhed og en stærk frygt for at fejle har han altid kæmpet for ikke at gå glip af noget. For når andre har ofret sig for ens frihed skylder man at få det bedste ud af livet.Han fortæller om tre ægteskaber og om at træffe svære valg som far. Om skiftet fra USA-korrespondent for Politiken til vært på det nye TV 2. Om alt det, der har gjort indtryk, fra en fest hos Ronald Reagan over et lærerigt møde med Tina Turner til at besøge sit idol Victor Borge.Ellers ville jeg fortryde er Michael Meyerheims generøse erindringsbog, der – som hans liv – spænder fra det dybt alvorlige til det humoristiske.

This book is the first history of commercial television in regional Australia, where diverse communities are spread across vast distances and multiple time zones. The first station, GLV Latrobe Valley, began broadcasting in December 1961. By the late 1970s, there were 35 independent commercial stations throughout regional Australia, from Cairns in the far north-east to Bunbury in the far south-west. Based on fine-grained archival research and extensive interviews, the book examines the key political, regulatory, economic, technological, industrial, and social developments which have shaped the industry over the past 60 years. Regional television is often dismissed as a mere extension of ¿ or footnote to ¿ the development of Australiäs three metropolitan commercial television networks. Michael Thurlow¿s study reveals an industry which, at its peak, was at the economic and social heart of regional communities, employing thousands of people and providing vital programming for viewers inprovincial cities and small towns across Australia.

"'The stories don't work, you know.'"That's all it took to set me off. Someone I knew - not a friend - an acquaintance had the nerve, the temerity, the-the-the audacity to tell me that the stories told in each episode of my beloved Doctor Who since the show returned to our TV screens in 2005 ... don't stand up to scrutiny."That is how Mike Sivier embarked on a quest to cast a critical eye - and ear - over the world's longest-running TV science fiction drama, in an attempt to establish the facts.The results are contained here... and they may surprise you!

This edited collection is the first book-length critical study of the Showtime-Sky Atlantic television series Penny Dreadful (2014-2016), which also includes an analysis of Showtime¿s 2020 spin-off City of Angels. Chapters examine the status of the series as a work of twenty-first-century cable television, contemporary Gothic-horror, and intermedial adaptation, spanning sources as diverse as eighteenth and nineteenth-century British fiction and poetry, American dime novels, theatrical performance, Hollywood movies, and fan practices. Featuring iconic monsters such as Dr. Frankenstein and his Creature, the ¿bride¿ of Frankenstein, Dracula, the werewolf, Dorian Gray, and Dr. Jekyll, Penny Dreadful is a mash-up of familiar texts and new Gothic figures such as spiritualist Vanessa Ives, played by the magnetic Eva Green. As a recent example of adapting multiple sources in different media, Penny Dreadful has as much to say about the Romantic and Victorian eras as it does about our present-day fascination with screen monsters.

This book focuses on the characters that populate the Game of Thrones universe and on one of the most salient features of their interaction: violence and warfare. It analyses these questions from a multidisciplinary perspective that is chiefly based on Classical Studies. The book is divided into two sections. The first section explores Martin¿s characters as the mainstay of both the novels and the TV series, since the author has peopled his universe with three-dimensional intriguing characters that resonate with the reader/audience. The second section is devoted to violence and warfare, both pervasive in the Game of Thrones universe. In particular, the TV series¿ depiction of violence is explicit, going beyond the limits that have seldom been traversed in primetime television i.e. the execution of Ned Stark, the ¿Red Wedding¿ and ¿Battle of the Bastards¿. In the Game of Thrones universe, violence is not only restricted to warfare but is an everyday occurrence, a result of the social and gender inequalities characterising the world created by Martin.

¿Das menschliche Gesicht gilt einerseits als subtiler, ¿schwacher Code¿, das sich im Alltag den Deutungen der menschlichen Wahrnehmung immer wieder zu entziehen scheint. Andererseits wird gerade in Medien wie dem Film das Gesicht strategische eingesetzt, um unterschwellig Botschaften zu vermitteln. Die Bild-Werdung des Menschen hat, wie diese Arbeit zeigt, nicht erst mit dem Aufkommen von Diktaturen seine ¿Unschuld¿ verloren. Aber erst im Modus seiner Lesbarmachung, als still gestelltes Bild wie es in Form der Großaufnahme im Film zur Geltung kommt, kann es als scheinbare Evidenz seine manipulierende Funktion einnehmen.Ob in Deutschland, Italien oder Russland ¿ alle diese Diktaturen wollen sich zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts der Arbeiterschaft versichern, um ihre ideologischen Ziele zu verwirklichen. Das kulturell und symbolisch vorgeprägte Gesicht, muss daher für die Propaganda umcodiert werden. Dem immer noch weit verbreiteten Verdikt der ¿Gleichschaltung¿ wird jedoch in diesem Buch differenziert gegenübergetreten: Die Möglichkeiten des Gesichts, es für unterschiedlichen historischen Konstellationen und Herausforderungen anzupassen und zu instrumentalisieren, machen es zu einem facettenreichen Medium für rhetorische Strategien.

Much has been written about the aesthetics of the television series Hannibal and its devoted fans, and some have discussed its philosophical ideas and its Gothic characteristics, but until now there has been no in-depth reading of the show as a fairy tale. However, the show positions itself as a fairy tale in its third season. Recognizing it as a fairy tale provides an understanding of its appeal and forces us to consider its lessons. Like a fairy tale, Hannibal plays with time and reality and teaches its audience about their world and how to survive in it. From the show, the audience learns both the importance and the danger of family and friends, the complicated nature of humanity containing the capability for good and evil, and the arbitrariness of society's definitions and taboos. As a fairy tale, it draws its viewers in and encourages them not only to come back time and again but to retell and even add to the story.
