As a follow-up to the recent Kubrick query, and an earlier one regarding
the Hindu chant music on EWS, here are Katarina's original answers to these
questions from alt.movies.kubrick (and in case you doubt the source, the
official Eyes Wide Shut website has a link to the web site of his wife,
Christiane -- http://eyeswideshut.warnerbros.com/ck/ck.htm -- and it
specifically states "This is to confirm that Katharina Kubrick Hobbs is a
regular reader of and occasional contributor to alt.movies.kubrick")

Subject: The Hindu Chant Question Answered

Hello Everybody!
I've come back from Venice, to loads of questions regarding the Hindu
chant.
Here goes:
It was a mistake. Joclyn Pook told me,that originally the singer was
singing words from the Koran !!
Also, she recorded it some time ago, Stanley simply heard it and liked it.
NO-ONE realized that the text was the equivalent of the Lord's Prayer!
Stanley would have changed it IMMEDIATLY, if he had realized. My Mother,
Christiane, argued hard and long. There is no way that we would EVER wish
to offend the Hindu religion,or to cause offence in any way what so ever.
I can tell you , that the film has NOT been edited. Joclyn has re-recorded
that section of music, with the same singer, using some neutral text that
will offend no-one. I saw the film in Venice and there is no difference,
unless you speak fluent Hindi I guess.
********
By the way, in my opinion,everybody should visit Venice. It's probably the
most wonderful place in the world. A triumph of man's ingenuity against all
odds.A magical, mysterious place.
And the food!! There's now 7lbs. more of me !!

>(for example, two of Hou's films are currently available only from >mail order from Cheng and Tsui in Boston),
Which two are these? "Dust in the Wind" and "A Time to Live and a Time to Die" have been available in the US for a few years. The Hong Kong DVD for "Flowers of Shanghai" (unfortunately time-compressed since it's from a PAL master) has shown up in some American stores, and there are also now import VCDs for most of his later films. Supposedly everything from the recent travelling retro is coming out on tape & DVD later this year or early next year.

Subject: British films from the interwar period
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Everyone,
I am currently working on my Master's degree in history from Auburn
University. I am desperately seeking information on British (and American)
films from the period between 1918-1939, specifically dealing with
representations of air power. Anything depicted bombings, military
aircraft, etc. would be helpful. I also would like information on the
avaliability of these films. While I do not have to actually view each of
the films, the more I can actually get my hands on the better. The only
four films I actually currently have are Wings, Hell's Angels, Things to
Come, and The Big Parade. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Jeremy Gibson

Two British titles you should definitely look at are THINGS TO COME (1935)
and, though it's a little bit outside your period, CONQUEST OF THE AIR
(1941). There are numerous newsreels (mainly Gaumont-British and
Movietone) dealing with rearmament, an issue which was crucial to Stanley
Baldwin's campaign in the 1935 election, and more obviously, Chamberlain's
negotiations with the Nazis.

Dear Jeremy:
Here are some sources for you:
For explication of films about Air Power, see this anthology:
HOLLYWOOD'S WORLD WAR I. Eds. Peter Rollins and John E. O'Connor
(Popular Press, 1998)
Some years back, a documentary was made about THE MUNICH CRISIS.
This film studied the myth of German invincibility which was current in
British Newsreels of the day....Should be quite useful to you...
Finally, the folks at the University of Leeds Center for Communications
Studies
have done all kinds of war and propaganda work. Phil Taylor is the Director
and
author of some of their best publications. He would be on top of this issue
and
could be reached via the U of Leeds web site...YAHOO ought to get you there.
The Sky's the Limit!

Here's a few that might be of interest:
TOO HOT TO HANDLE, with Clark Gable (set in Shanghai under Japanese
bombardment)
TEST PILOT, also with Gable
The last is based on a story by Frank "Spig" Wead (himself played by
John Wayne in THE WINGS OF EAGLES (1957). Wead wrote a number of
screenplays in the 1930s that may be of use--check the IMDB for a
complete list.
Also:
DEVIL DOGS OF THE AIR (1935)
SKY DEVILS (1932)
Laurel and Hardy in FLYING DEUCES (1939)
Two versions of THE DAWN PATROL (1930 and 1939)
