Maybe it's because I always found Joan Crawford to be incredibly attractive and beautiful in her early 1930 films, but Ann Dvorak was certainly a fox, and very talented. Can anyone else see the resemblance between Ms Dvorak and Joan Crawford? Something about the eyes...
mmm... cesca's seductive dance at the paradise two - a wonderful movie moment. nobody beats dvorak, even at 18, which (i believe) she was when this was filmed in 1930 (released in '32).
@atatatr mise en scene, in short, means everything that the filmmakers (director) do to stage the film; which includes the SETTING, SUBJECT and how the film is COMPOSED. The style, look and feel of the film---everything that we see as an audience, sometimes being conscious of what we DON'T see on screen. I hope this helps. To be honest, it is the essence of understanding Cinema as a true artform and Mise En Scene should be something that you continue to study and feel as a cineaste. Cheers
She should have been a HUGE star. In "Three On a Match" she wipes that hambone Bette Davis right off the screen. Dvorak was sublimely talented, and she could not only act but sing and dance. She got into movies through her friend Joan Crawford, and it was Joan that recommended her to Howard Hughes for "Scarface". One of the great mysteries of movie history is why Ann Dvorak didn't become a superstar.
@edwardjames50 Studio system contracts back then where not friendly to head strong actors who felt that they should be in charge of their careers and not the studio SYSTEM. I think she fell in love with a brit solder during WWI and started driving an ambulance over there. What a woman!
@Edington ~ Not WWI, but WWII, And he was already her husband: British actor and director Leslie Fenton, who she had married during her Warner Brothers days. When the war broke out, he went back to England, and she went with him; she did indeed drive an ambulance during the dark days of the Blitz.
