    A really good look at the 1940s at RKO

    This installment of the RKO story does something that all but the very first one did not - talk about the studio and the times in which movies were being made in general.

    RKO had some really good years during the 40s. As one interviewee said, you could make a movie about almost anything and it would make money. RKO's film "Hitler's Children" cost very little to make and made three million at the box office, for example. Also, Val Lewton had a series of psychological thriller hits such as Cat People during this time. These films are more along the line of horror and really had nothing to do with the war, but people loved them. After Lewton left RKO, he really did nothing worth mentioning and died in 1951 at only age 46.

    When the war ended, RKO became a pioneer in film noir. Because director Edward Dmytryk, Jane Greer, and Robert Mitchum were alive and well when their interviews were done, they could tell a great deal about this period in film and talk about individual films. Dory Schary, in charge of production at RKO at the time, encouraged the daring and often controversial storytelling that defined film noir. To this day RKO is often called "The House of Noir".

    But then the "Red Scares" and the age of HUAC came up and RKO's ground breaking films suddenly became considered some kind of threat to America, supposedly containing Communist messages in code. One of the oddest things in film history is how Dmytryk's film "Tender Comrade", a 1943 story of wartime assembly line women pooling their paltry individual wages to raise their standard of living, suddenly was considered Communist propaganda. It is very available via Turner Classic Movies and the Warner Archive if you want to see how ridiculous that assertion is. But the odd thing is, when Ginger Rogers is asked about it (she starred in it), she tries to backpedal away from the thing saying there was stuff in that film she did not believe in. It seems she still had HUAC PTSD decades later.

    The episode concludes with paranoid eccentric Howard Hughes buying RKO in 1948, and soon nothing will be the same or even sane at the studio. But the details are left to the final installment of the RKO story.

    The war and immediate post-war years at RKO

    This fifth episode of "Hollywood the Golden Years: The RKO Story" is all about the studio's B-unit and lower budgeted films as well as the Blacklist era. Much of the focus was on Val Lewton's Bs as well as the films of Robert Mitchum (as well as his marijuana conviction). The last third of the show was devoted to the Red Scare and the Blacklist...something that affected all the studios, not just RKO. What I found interesting was Ginger Rogers' and her mother's virulence in attacking the Hollywood 10...and in Ginger's case it was interesting since the interview was done in the 1980s...when it became very unfashionable to back the Blacklist.

    Overall, an interesting episode well worth seeing. Despite some of the folks associated with making the film are on the left (such as the narrator Ed Asner), the discussion seemed fair and evenhanded. Worth seeing.

    By the way, entitling this episode 'Dark Victory' is odd, as that's the name of a famous Warner Brothers picture!

      Clips from Ist das Leben nicht schön? (1946) were deleted from the final cut of this miniseries due to the film's licensing and distribution rights then being owned by rival Paramount Pictures.

      Robert Mitchum: [On his arrest for narcotics offences] I couldn't play Eagle Scouts or Baptist preachers, but, I tell you one thing, it's certainly enlisted an enormous number of new fans.
