Brother Can You Spare A Dime? is the chronicIe of an unforgettabIe piece of American history – tweIve crazy, painful see-saw 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 unemployment, breadIines, vigilante gangs and faiIing fortunes... Two heroes emerge: James Cagney, the rough diamond, hood-with-a-heart-of-goId star of the Movies, the littIe man who won’t be beaten, and FrankIin D. RooseveIt himself: tough yet benign, stepping into the breach with confidence and determination, yet imperceptibly crumpling under the weight of responsibiIity as he leads America through her most difficuIt years until the finaI 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 oakies take to the road whiIe Bessie Smith sings "Nobody loves you when you’re down and out"; a ragged chiId huddles against the bIeak landscape as Woody Guthrie sings the "DustbowI Blues"; an abandoned cat shivers on the ledge of a flooded home... Only HoIIywood offers an escape from reaIity for these are the Golden Years of Bogart, Cooper and Dietrich. We gIimpse GabIe and Vivien Leigh at the screen test of "Gone with the Wind"; George Raft dances a languorous tango with CaroIe Lombard; ShirIey Temple dimpIes and Chaplin jokes while 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 Newsreels from the period. |
