Movie Review | White Slaves of Chinatown (Mawra, 1964)

This is the first of the Olga movies, and offers the same things as the others. Namely, a nice looking lady being mean to other nice looking ladies. But not just regular mean. Hot mean, mostly through bondage and things of that nature. Anyway, before any of you start hooting and hollering, I should specify that this movie is spicy enough for you to have to sign in to watch it in YouTube but not so spicy that it can’t be on YouTube altogether. There are on the rougher end of the spectrum of ‘60s sexploitation, although aside from a bit involving fingers, none of the torture here should leave you terribly frazzled, unless you find Bettie Page pinups to be traumatizing. As the main (and mean) nice looking lady you have Audrey Campbell, and as the other nice looking ladies, you have a group of actresses who look to be in some of director Joseph P. Mawra’s other movies. I recognized Gigi Darlene, best known for her movies with Doris Wishman.

What distinguishes this one from the others can be inferred from the title, but while it leans into stereotypes of Chinatown being a sinister and seedy place, it’s much less hideously racist than you’d expect from the title. Also you get to see Gigi Darlene in a cheongsam, so there are pluses to the angle the movie takes. I understand all of these movies were shot at least in part in Chinatown, but from my memory, this is the only one set there diegetically. The other distinguishing element is a heavier emphasis on the perils of drugs. Not just opium and heroin, but the devil’s lettuce. The wacky tobacky. Mari-hoo-wana. Horrifying stuff.

Anyway, as with the other movies, this one is quite enjoyable thanks to Campbell in the lead role. There are limitations to her performance thanks to the heavy use of narration (which apparently was used to piece a story together after the fact as the movie was shot without one nailed down, and weighs this down a bit more heavily than the subsequent entries), but Campbell, aside from being strikingly beautiful, has a certain poise that helps add a touch of elegance to her dominatrix-type role. And like with the others, this has a good amount of style for throwaway product made pretty quickly and cheaply. It’s probably true that some of that is from being shot on film, a quality which makes disposable movies of yesteryear better looking than the disposable movies of today, but there is some beautiful chiaroscuro lighting, and Mawra knows how to capture the distinct presence of his different cast members in visually striking ways. Apparently he was learning how to make movies on the go and using them to experiment, and the results definitely show.

Anyway, if you wanna learn more about Mawra’s career, the Rialto Report as always has a great interview with the man.

UA rented room at the Pickford/Fairbanks Workshop, but did not possess a workshop whole lot as such. Because of this, much of their movies would be fired on area. Mainly functioning as lenders, they supplied money to independent producers. Thus UA did not have the expenses, the maintenance or the expensive production personnel which added expenses at other workshops.

Levine as well as others. By the late 1950s, RKO had ceased film manufacturing, and the staying four of big 5 had identified that they did not recognize just how to reach the young people audience. In an effort to capture this target market, the Studios hired a host of young filmmakers (much of whom were mentored by Roger Corman) and also enabled them to make their films with reasonably little studio control.

The only Sundance Film Festival Guide You'll Ever Need

The flick had actually earned over $70 million around the world by 1973. This preliminary successes led the means for the workshop to give up nearly full control to the movie institution generation and began what the media dubbed "New Hollywood." Dennis Hopper, the American actor, made his writing as well as routing debut with (1969 ).

Easy Biker debuted at Cannes as well as gathered the "Very first Film Award" (French: Prix de la premiere oeuvre) after which it received two Oscar elections, one for finest original screenplay as well as one for Corman-alum Jack Nicholson's innovation performance in the supporting function of George Hanson, an alcoholic legal representative for the American Civil Liberties Union.

21 You Always Wondered About Influential People In Independent Film

It came to be the initial and just X rated movie to win the Academy Award for finest picture. Midnight Cowboy likewise held the distinction of including cameo functions by much of the top Warhol superstars, who had actually currently become symbols of the militantly anti-Hollywood climate of NYC's independent film neighborhood. Within a month, one more young Corman student, Francis Ford Coppola, made his launching in Spain at the Donostia-San Sebastian International Film Event with (1969 ), a movie he had generated with his own firm, American Zoetrope.

Via Zoetrope, Coppola created a distribution contract with workshop huge Warner Bros., which he would exploit to achieve wide launches for his movies without making himself based on their control. These 3 movies provided the significant Hollywood workshops with both an instance to comply with and also a new plant of ability to draw from.

By the list below year, 2 Brand-new Hollywood supervisors had come to be sufficiently established for Coppola to be offered oversight of Paramount's (1972) as well as Lucas had acquired workshop funding for (1973) from Universal. In the mid-1970s, the significant Hollywood studios continued to touch these new filmmakers for both suggestions and workers, producing movies such as (1973) as well as (1976 ), all of which consulted with essential and commercial success.

While a lot of members of the New Hollywood generation were, or began as, independent filmmakers, a number of their tasks were created as well as released by major workshops. The New Hollywood generation soon came to be firmly set in a revived manifestation of the workshop system, which financed the development, manufacturing as well as distribution of their movies.

The Only Guide to Independent Filmmakers You're Going To Need

Relatively independent movies such as Cab driver, and others were workshop films: the manuscripts were based on studio pitches and consequently paid for by the studios, the production funding was from the studio, as well as the advertising and circulation of the films were designed and controlled by the studio's advertising firm.

Tips and Trick for Best Independent Films

Indeed, it was throughout this duration that the really definition of an independent film ended up being obscured. Though Midnight Cowboy was funded by United Artists, the business was certainly a workshop. Also, Zoetrope was another "independent workshop" which functioned within the system to make a space for independent directors who required funding.

In fact, the only two films of the motion which can be defined as uncompromisingly independent are Easy Cyclist at the start, and Peter Bogdanovich's, at the end. Peter Bogdanovich gotten back the rights from the workshop to his 1980 movie and also paid for its distribution out of his very own pocket, encouraged that the image was better than what the workshop believed he ultimately went bankrupt as a result of this.

With their unprecedented box-office successes, these flicks jump-started Hollywood's hit attitude, giving workshops a brand-new paradigm regarding exactly how to earn money in this altering business landscape. The focus on high-concept properties, with greater concentration on tie-in goods (such as playthings), spin-offs into various other media (such as soundtracks), and also making use of sequels (which had been made extra reputable by Coppola's ), all revealed the workshops how to earn money in the brand-new atmosphere.

At some point, even RKO was restored. The corporate mindset these companies offered the filmmaking business would slowly eject the a lot more distinctive of these young filmmakers, while seating the a lot more malleable and readily effective of them. Like the original independents that left the Edison Depend develop old Hollywood, the young film school graduates who had actually fled the workshops to explore on-location shooting and dynamic, neo-realist styles as well as frameworks ended up changing the autocrats they had actually looked for to dislodge with a more secure and also all-pervasive base of power.

Directors who wished to reach mainstream target markets of Old Hollywood swiftly discovered to stylise these styles to make their movies appealing and eye-catching as opposed to undesirable or profane. Nevertheless, at the exact same time that the radical movie trainees of the American New Wave were creating the abilities they would certainly make use of to take control of Hollywood, much of their peers had begun to develop their style of filmmaking in a various direction.

Mawra, Michael Findlay, as well as Henri Pachard) and avant-garde movie theater, (Kenneth Temper, Maya Deren) a variety of young movie manufacturers started to trying out transgression not as a box-office draw, yet as an artistic act. Supervisors such as John Waters and David Lynch would certainly go far for themselves by the early 1970s for the peculiar as well as often disturbing images which identified their films.
