| Brother Can You Spare A Dime? is the chronicle of an unforgettable 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 Killer" 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 unemployment, breadlines, vigilante gangs and failing 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 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 finaI humiIiation of Pearl Harbor. Songs and images stick in the mind: fortunes dwindIe, the smaII 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 child huddIes against the bleak 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 Carole Lombard; Shirley Temple dimpIes and ChapIin jokes whiIe Busby Berkeley fills the screen with his Iavish extravaganzas...and the marathon dancers stumble on... As Ginger Rogers says: "It’s the depression, dearie... Bonus: Nearly an hour of Pathe NewsreeIs from the period. |
