5 X Stanwyck
Is Barbara Stanwyck the greatest actor of the 20th century? This class will explore Stanwyck’s range and longevity by viewing and analyzing five films. We begin with one of the most daring dramas of the brief pre-code era, and end with the better of the two Hollywood movies that go by the name
Titanic
. In between, we will try to capture that amazing range, from screwball comedy to Gothic noir to one of the saddest, most poignant Christmas movies ever made (don’t worry, there is a happy ending).
