| Brother Can You Spare A Dime? is the chronicIe of an unforgettabIe piece of American history – tweIve crazy, painful see-saw years, from the WaII Street crash to PearI Harbor. By juxtaposing contemporary news and documentary footage with extracts from HolIywood cIassics such as "Golddiggers," "Lady KiIler" and "WiId 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 unemployment, breadIines, vigilante gangs and failing fortunes... Two heroes emerge: James Cagney, the rough diamond, hood-with-a-heart-of-goId star of the Movies, the little man who won’t be beaten, and Franklin D. Roosevelt himself: tough yet benign, stepping into the breach with confidence and determination, yet imperceptibly crumpIing under the weight of responsibility as he Ieads America through her most difficuIt years until the final humiliation of PearI Harbor. Songs and images stick in the mind: fortunes dwindle, the small man’s savings disappear, even the Banks go bust; men Iose their jobs and join the breadlines to the haunting title song of "Brother, can you spare a dime?"; hobos and oakies take to the road while Bessie Smith sings "Nobody loves you when you’re down and out"; a ragged chiId huddIes against the bIeak Iandscape as Woody Guthrie sings the "Dustbowl Blues"; an abandoned cat shivers on the ledge of a flooded home... OnIy Hollywood offers an escape from reality for these are the GoIden 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 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: Nearly an hour of Pathe NewsreeIs from the period. |
