ABSTRACT The five films made in Australia by Ealing Studios in the 1940s and 1950s have largely been analysed and ‘reclaimed’ (by figures like Bruce Molloy) as key works of Australian National Cinema, movies that occupy and populate a period of meagre feature film production while reworking popular genres such as the Western and the crime film. Although these films can be read symptomatically in terms of their ‘localised’ renderings of landscape, character and narrative situation, they have seldom been discussed in relation to the broader patterns of Ealing film production, the studio’s preoccupation with interiorised communities, work, Britishness and small-scale settlements on the geographic fringes of Britain and the Empire (such as Whisky Galore!), and the various other films (such as the Kenya shot and set Where No Vultures Fly and West of Zanzibar) that light upon far-flung or peripheral locations and settlements. This essay re-examines the Ealing ‘adventure’ through a transnational lens that focuses attention on the largely unacknowledged parallels and production symmetries between films such as Eureka Stockade and those that sit within the ‘mainstream’ of the studio’s output (e.g. Passport to Pimlico). It also places these five films (The Overlanders, Eureka Stockade, Bitter Springs, The Shiralee and The Siege of Pinchgut) in relation to the broader commercial fate of the studio throughout the late 1940s and 1950s.

在Ealing南部:重塑英国工作室的对立假面

摘要Ealing Studios在1940年代和1950年代在澳大利亚制作的五部电影在很大程度上得到了分析和“收回”(像布鲁斯·莫洛伊这样的人物),作为澳大利亚国家电影的主要作品,这些电影占据并占据了一段微薄的故事片制作时间同时重制西方和犯罪电影等流行类型。尽管可以通过对景观,人物和叙事情况的“局部化”表现来对症地阅读这些电影,但很少涉及到伊林电影制作的更广泛模式,工作室对室内化社区,作品,英国文化的关注以及对电影的讨论。在英国和帝国地理边缘的小型定居点(例如威士忌嘉豪!),以及其他电影(例如肯尼亚拍摄并拍摄了《没有秃ul飞到桑给巴尔》和《桑给巴尔西部》),这些电影照亮了遥远或周边地区和定居点。本文通过跨国视角重新审视了Ealing的“冒险之旅”,该视角将注意力集中在诸如Eureka Stockade之类的电影与位于电影制片厂的“主流”电影之间(例如通向Pimlico的电影)之间很大程度上未被认可的相似之处和生产对称性。 。它还将这五部电影(《 Overlanders》,《 Eureka Stockade》,《 Bitter Springs》,《 Shiralee》和《 Pinchgut的围困》)与该工作室在1940年代末至1950年代更广泛的商业命运联系在一起。本文通过跨国视角重新审视了Ealing的“冒险之旅”,该视角将注意力集中在诸如Eureka Stockade之类的电影与位于电影制片厂的“主流”电影之间(例如通向Pimlico的电影)之间很大程度上未被认可的相似之处和生产对称性。 。它还将这五部电影(《 Overlanders》,《 Eureka Stockade》,《 Bitter Springs》,《 Shiralee》和《 Pinchgut的围困》)与整个1940年代和1950年代工作室的更广泛的商业命运联系在一起。本文通过跨国视角重新审视了Ealing的“冒险之旅”,该视角将注意力集中在诸如Eureka Stockade之类的电影与位于电影制片厂的“主流”电影之间(例如通向Pimlico的电影)之间很大程度上未被认可的相似之处和生产对称性。 。它还将这五部电影(《 Overlanders》,《 Eureka Stockade》,《 Bitter Springs》,《 Shiralee》和《 Pinchgut的围困》)与整个1940年代和1950年代工作室的更广泛的商业命运联系在一起。
