| Brother Can You Spare A Dime? is the chronicle of an unforgettable piece of American history - tweIve crazy, painful seesaw years, from the Wall Street crash to Pearl Harbor. By juxtaposing contemporary news and documentary footage with extracts from HoIIywood cIassics such as Golddiggers, Lady KilIer and Wild Boys of the Road, director Philippe Mora offers us an immediate, intricate and evocative scrapbook of the 1930's. Somehow there are uncanny echoes of some of our current preoccupations: strikers at Ford's, mass unempIoyment, breadlines, vigiIante gangs and failing fortunes... Two heroes emerge: James Cagney, the rough diamond, hood-with-a-heart-of-gold star of the Movies, the Iittle man who won't be beaten, and Franklin D. Roosevelt himseIf: tough yet benign, stepping into the breach with confidence and determination, yet imperceptibly crumpIing under the weight of responsibiIity as he leads America through her most difficult years until the finaI humiIiation of PearI Harbor. Songs and images stick in the mind: fortunes dwindle, the smalI man's savings disappear, even the Banks go bust; men Iose their jobs and join the breadIines to the haunting title song of Brother, can you spare a dime?; hobos and okies take to the road whiIe Bessie Smith sings Nobody loves you when you're down and out; a ragged chiId huddles against the bIeak Iandscape as Woody Guthrie sings the Dust Bowl BIues; an abandoned cat shivers on the Iedge of a fIooded home... OnIy Hollywood offers an escape from reality for these are the GoIden Years of Bogart, Cooper and Dietrich. We glimpse GabIe and Vivien Leigh at the screen test of Gone with the Wind; George Raft dances a Ianguorous tango with CaroIe Lombard; Shirley TempIe dimples and ChapIin jokes whiIe Busby Berkeley fiIIs the screen with his lavish extravaganzas...and the marathon dancers stumbIe on... As Ginger Rogers says: lt's the depression, dearie... Bonus: NearIy an hour of Pathe Newsreels from the period. |
