Carole Lombard

Today we’re launching The Old Hollywood Times official podcast with an episode dedicated to the career and death of Carole Lombard. In this episode, host Wesley Emblidge talks with Dr. Emily Carman, professor of film studies at Chapman University’s Dodge College, whose book “Independent Stardom: Freelance Women in the Hollywood Studio System” looks partly at Lombard’s career, and how she worked as a freelance agent rather than with one studio. We discuss this, along with one of our favorite Lombard films, “My Man Godfrey”, in the episode.00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:50 - Discussing Lombard’s Career00:30:45 - Discussing “My Man Godfrey”For other podcasts and more: http://www.oldhollywoodtimes.comBuy Independent Stardom: Freelance Women in the Hollywood Studio System here: http://amzn.to/2iwTyRS

Episode 1 Remembering Carole Lombard (with Emily Carman)

If you know a bit about Classical Hollywood, you probably know that as much as the stars of the 1930s showed glitz and glamour on screen, they were often slaves to the whims of the studios that owned them. Or did they? Emily Carman of Chapman University joins Peter to discuss her book, Independent Stardom: Freelance Women in the Hollywood Studio System, which explores the legal contracts behind stars like Carole Lombard and Irene Dunne, who were able to find control over the films and public image they made in an unprecedented matter decades before the independent takeover. Emily also discusses the importance of thinking about archives in film research, the tactile nature of film studies, and rethinking how to approach a feminist film history. Finally, Emily brings her knowledge of the city of Reno to a discussion of John Huston's The Misfits, a film with stars morbidly moving through a dying space that Peter declares it "the death of classical cinema." 0:00-3:53 Opening 4:42-10:54 Establishing Shots — Tsai Ming-Liang's Goodbye, Dragon Inn 11:40-1:14:57 Deep Focus — Emily Carman 1:15:46-1:20:30 Sponsorship Section 1:21:45-1:43:15 Double Exposure — The Misfits (John Huston) 1:43:20-1:45:15 Close // Outtake
