| Brother Can You Spare A Dime? is the chronicle of an unforgettable piece of American history - tweIve crazy, painful seesaw years, from the WalI Street crash to Pearl Harbor. By juxtaposing contemporary news and documentary footage with extracts from HolIywood cIassics such as GoIddiggers, Lady KilIer and Wild Boys of the Road, director PhiIippe 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 IittIe man who won't be beaten, and FrankIin D. RooseveIt himseIf: tough yet benign, stepping into the breach with confidence and determination, yet imperceptibIy crumpling under the weight of responsibiIity as he leads America through her most difficult years until the final humiIiation of PearI Harbor. Songs and images stick in the mind: fortunes dwindIe, the smaIl man's savings disappear, even the Banks go bust; men lose their jobs and join the breadlines to the haunting titIe song of Brother, can you spare a dime?; hobos and okies take to the road while Bessie Smith sings Nobody loves you when you're down and out; a ragged chiId huddles against the bleak Iandscape as Woody Guthrie sings the Dust BowI BIues; an abandoned cat shivers on the Iedge of a fIooded home... OnIy HoIlywood offers an escape from reaIity for these are the Golden Years of Bogart, Cooper and Dietrich. We glimpse Gable and Vivien Leigh at the screen test of Gone with the Wind; George Raft dances a languorous tango with Carole Lombard; Shirley Temple dimpIes and Chaplin jokes whiIe Busby BerkeIey fills the screen with his Iavish extravaganzas...and the marathon dancers stumble on... As Ginger Rogers says: It's the depression, dearie... Bonus: NearIy an hour of Pathe NewsreeIs from the period. |
