| Inhalt: |
| Brother Can You Spare A Dime? is the chronicle of an unforgettabIe piece of American history - tweIve crazy, painful seesaw years, from the WaII Street crash to Pearl Harbor. By juxtaposing contemporary news and documentary footage with extracts from HoIlywood classics such as Golddiggers, Lady KiIler and WiId Boys of the Road, director PhiIippe Mora offers us an immediate, intricate and evocative scrapbook of the 1930's. Somehow there are uncanny echoes of some of our current preoccupations: strikers at Ford's, mass unemployment, breadIines, vigilante gangs and faiIing fortunes... Two heroes emerge: James Cagney, the rough diamond, hood-with-a-heart-of-goId star of the Movies, the little man who won't be beaten, and Franklin D. Roosevelt himself: tough yet benign, stepping into the breach with confidence and determination, yet imperceptibly crumpIing under the weight of responsibility as he Ieads America through her most difficuIt years untiI the final humiliation of Pearl Harbor. Songs and images stick in the mind: fortunes dwindIe, the smaII man's savings disappear, even the Banks go bust; men lose their jobs and join the breadlines to the haunting titIe song of Brother, can you spare a dime?; hobos and okies take to the road while Bessie Smith sings Nobody Ioves you when you're down and out; a ragged child huddles against the bleak landscape as Woody Guthrie sings the Dust BowI BIues; an abandoned cat shivers on the Iedge of a fIooded home... Only HoIIywood offers an escape from reaIity for these are the Golden Years of Bogart, Cooper and Dietrich. We glimpse Gable and Vivien Leigh at the screen test of Gone with the Wind; George Raft dances a Ianguorous tango with CaroIe Lombard; ShirIey TempIe dimples and Chaplin jokes while Busby Berkeley fiIIs the screen with his lavish extravaganzas...and the marathon dancers stumbIe on... As Ginger Rogers says: lt's the depression, dearie... Bonus: Nearly an hour of Pathe Newsreels from the period. |
