Dear colleagues & Prof Staiger: You've undoubtedly already considered obvious possibilities like CITIZEN KANE (opening episode of preparation of "News on the March") and BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (producer & director try to re-think their B-movie debut on "Cat People" theme). My memory is less sharp on a pair of 1937 semi-satiric films about film-making, STAND IN (dir. by Tay Garnett) and STAR IS BORN (dir. by Wm. Wellman); each might well have the sort of episode you're seeking... Good hunting, Steven P Hill, University of Illinois. __ __ __ __ ___ __ __ __ __ Date: Sun 3 Sep 00:00:04 CDT 2006 From: SCREEN-L automatic digest system <[log in to unmask]> Subject: SCREEN-L Digest - 1 Sep 2006 to 2 Sep 2006 (#2006-148) To: [log in to unmask] Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2006 18:30:00 -0500 From: Janet Staiger <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Scenes of Film or TV Production Meetings Dear Colleagues, Any help off-list to me at <[log in to unmask]> would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Janet Staiger I'm working on a presentation on how to analyze film and television production meetings from a critical (rather than structural/functionalist) perspective. I would like to find a scene in a movie of a typical (if classically exaggerated since it IS a movie) film or TV production meeting to use for analysis. __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _ ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
