1.29 Nightmare as a Child

Director: Alvin Ganzer

Director of Photography: George T. Clemens

“Month of November, hot chocolate, and a small cameo of a child's face, imperfect only in its solemnity. And these are the improbable ingredients to a human emotion, an emotion, say, like - fear.”

365 Day Movie Challenge (2019) - #59: Fast Company (1938) - dir. Edward Buzzell

I really don’t know why I keep wasting energy on mediocre Nick and Nora ripoffs, but the fact is that I have a multiple-DVD set featuring three films about another pair of married amateur sleuths, Joel and Garda Sloane, so I decided to bite the bullet and give the first entry in the short-lived series, Fast Company, a shot. Unfortunately, it’s a collective nadir for its otherwise talented cast and crew (Florence Rice being the primary exception; yikes, she’s awful), so I had to settle for my general enjoyment of Melvyn Douglas, Claire Dodd (in a juicier role than usual), Shepperd Strudwick, Louis Calhern, Nat Pendleton, Douglass Dumbrille, Minor Watson, Dwight Frye (one of my longtime favorites) and Thurston Hall, regardless of the lack of screen time and/or character development.

The Committee for the First Amendment

     We, the undersigned, as American Citizens who believe in constitutional democratic government, are disgusted and outraged by the continuing attempt of the House Committee on Un-American Activities to smear the Motion Picture Industry.

     We hold that these hearings are morally wrong because:

      Any investigation into the political beliefs of the individual is contrary to the basic principles of our democracy;

      Any attempt to curb freedom of expression and to set arbitrary standards of Americanism is in itself disloyal to both the spirit and the letter of our Constitution.

Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies 1940 Episode 4: Mighty Hunters

Written by Dave Monahan

Directed by Chuck Jones

Voice characterizations by Shepperd Strudwick

DISCLAIMER: We’re not even on another Censored Eleven installment and already three cartoons with stereotypes in a row! This time, this short has Native American stereotypes! Great! Once again, it’s not done on malicious intent. The social views the cartoon depicts are considered okay for the time. It’s just that they became outdated overtime, and this cartoon, alongside the previous two, should be viewed in a historical context more so than a typical casual watch. Erasing this cartoon from existence would be like that it never existed, and watching cartoons in such historical can make viewers learn something from it. So, yeah. Not not much else to say here, it’s just another product of the time period.
