Traffic in Souls by George Loane Tucker United States 1913

Traffic in Souls

Traffic in Souls (pubblicato anche come While New York Sleeps) è un film drammatico americano del 1913 sulla prostituzione forzata (schiavitù bianca) negli Stati Uniti. Diretto da George Loane Tucker e interpretato da Jane Gail, Ethel Grandin, William H. Turner e Matt Moore, Traffic in Souls è un primo esempio dello stile narrativo nei film americani. Il film è composto da sei rulli più lunghi del film americano dell'epoca.

Una copia di Traffic in Souls è conservata presso la Library of Congress e la Film Preservation Associates.  Nel 2006, il film è stato aggiunto al National Film Registry for Preservation nella Library of Congress perché "ha presagito il film narrativo hollywoodiano" e ha attirato l'attenzione sulla sua avvincente rappresentazione dei metodi usati per coinvolgere le giovani donne nella prostituzione.


trama

La trama riguarda due giovani donne svedesi che vengono avvicinate da uomini e donne. Nelle scene girate a Battery Park, dopo che le donne sono state trasportate da Ellis Island, i veri immigranti possono essere visti sullo sfondo.

L'intero film si svolge nel corso di un prologo; la narrativa principale in cui una delle sorelle viene rapita da un magnaccia e l'altra sorella e il suo fidanzato si affrettano a salvarla in tempo e il magnaccia viene ucciso; e un epilogo in cui lo spettatore trova le conseguenze da un articolo di notizie cestinato. Il film si conclude con una battuta finale, la fine di un thriller che non era il cliché che è diventato adesso.

produzione

Traffic in Souls era basato su un film del regista George Loane Tucker. La storia è stata scritta da Walter MacNamara, che ha anche lavorato come produttore con Jack Cohn. I produttori esecutivi includono King Baggot, Herbert Brenon, William Robert Daly e Carl Laemmle.

Il film è stato girato e prodotto dalla Universal Film Manufacturing Company a Fort Lee, nel New Jersey, dove molti primi studi cinematografici nella prima industria cinematografica americana erano basati all'inizio del XX secolo. Altre riprese sono state girate su Ellis Island e Manhattan. I suoi soggetti erano donne che lavoravano immigrate negli Stati Uniti, e fu rilasciato in un momento in cui il paese stava attraversando un "panico morale" sulla questione della prostituzione. La pubblicazione del film viene infine completata con l'aggiunta di "schiavitù bianca" all'elenco degli argomenti vietati dal Codice Hays.

Release

Traffic in Souls è stato inaugurato il 24 novembre 1913 al Lou Fields 'Theatre al 1215 di Broadway a New York City. Il film è stato realizzato per $ 5700 e, secondo quanto riferito, ha guadagnato $ 400.000 durante la sua carriera teatrale, contribuendo a diventare un attore importante tra gli studi cinematografici.

Reception

L'autore e critico cinematografico Leonard Maltin ha assegnato al film due stelle e mezzo, definendolo "un sudicio, sporco piacere colpevole".

Home media

 Traffic in Souls è stato pubblicato da Philip Carli nel 1994. Flicker Alley ha pubblicato il film, insieme a The Italian (1915) e tre cortometraggi, una parte di un set di DVD intitolato Perils of the New Terra nell'agosto 2008. Il film storico Shelley Stamp ha fornito un commento di esperti audio per l'edizione del 2008.

Traffic in Souls (also released as While New York Sleeps) is a 1913 American silent crime drama film focusing on forced prostitution (white slavery) in the United States. Directed by George Loane Tucker and starring Jane Gail, Ethel Grandin, William H. Turner, and Matt Moore, Traffic in Souls is an early example of the narrative style in American films. The film consists of six reels which was longer than most American film of the era.
A copy of Traffic in Souls is preserved at the Library of Congress and the Film Preservation Associates. In 2006, the film was added to the National Film Registry for preservation in the Library of Congress because it "presaged the Hollywood narrative film" and drew attention through its riveting depiction of the methods used to entrap young women into prostitution.

Plot

The storyline concerns two young Swedish women immigrants who are approached by men soliciting for white slavery under the guise of a legitimate work offer. In the scenes filmed at Battery Park, after the women are transported there from Ellis Island, real immigrants can be seen in the background.
The entire film takes place over the course of three days and consists of a prologue; the main narrative in which one of the sisters is kidnapped by a pimp and the other sister and her boyfriend rush to rescue her in time and the pimp is killed; and an epilogue in which the viewer finds out the consequences from a trashed news article. The film concludes with a joke ending, an ending to a thriller that at the time was not the cliché it has become now.

Production

Traffic in Souls was based on a story by the film's director George Loane Tucker. The scenario was written by Walter MacNamara who also served as producer with Jack Cohn. Executive producers include King Baggot, Herbert Brenon, William Robert Daly, and Carl Laemmle.
The film was shot and produced by Universal Film Manufacturing Company in Fort Lee, New Jersey, where many early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based at the beginning of the 20th century. Additional footage was shot on location at Ellis Island and Manhattan. Its subjects were working women who had immigrated to the United States, and it was released at a time when the country was undergoing a "moral panic" over the issue of prostitution. The film's release eventually resulted in the adding of "white slavery" to the list of topics banned under the Hays Code.

Release

Traffic in Souls opened on November 24, 1913 at Lou Fields's Theatre at 1215 Broadway in New York City. The film was made for $5700, and reportedly earned $400,000 during its theatrical run, helping to make Universal a major player among movie studios.

Reception

Author and film critic Leonard Maltin awarded the film two and a half out of four stars, calling it "a trashy, corny guilty pleasure."

Home media

Traffic in Souls was released on VHS by Kino International in with a piano score by Philip Carli in 1994. Flicker Alley released the film, along with The Italian (1915) and three shorts, as part of a two DVD set entitled Perils of the New Land in August 2008. Film historian Shelley Stamp provided expert audio commentary for the 2008 release.

Lorna Barton (played by Ethel Grandin) is tempted by the procurer Bill Bradshaw (William Cavanaugh) in a cafe scene from the silent drama Traffic in Souls (1913).

 Il film di Carl Laemmle, di nuova costituzione, è uscito per il lungometraggio (1913) (aka While New York Sleeps). Era il film più costoso del suo tempo a $ 57.000, anche se i suoi guadagni record erano $ 450.000 durante la sua prima corsa.

E 'stato il primo film di sesso americano in lungometraggi. Questo è uno dei primi film a capire che "il sesso vende", "i suoi prodotti erano preoccupati che un film di lungometraggio su qualsiasi argomento non avrebbe avuto successo.

Era una mostra "foto-dramma" di schiavitù bianca, a cavallo del secolo a New York, il film prometteva sfruttamenti sessuali fumosi nelle sue pubblicità.

Traffic in Souls (also released as While New York Sleeps) is a 1913 American silent crime drama film focusing

 Carl Laemmle's newly-formed Independent Motion Picture Company's (IMP) first feature-length film release was the six-reel melodrama (and faux documentary) Traffic in Souls (1913) (aka While New York Sleeps). It was the most expensive feature film of its time at $57,000, although its record earnings were $450,000 during its first run.

It was the first American feature-length sex film. This was one of the first films to understand that 'sex sells,' although its producers worried that a 'feature-length' film on any subject wouldn't be successful.

It was a "photo-drama" expose of white slavery (entrapment and stalking of two young emigrant women into prostitution at brothels, called "dens of iniquity") at the turn of the century in NYC, although the film exploitatively promised steamy sex in its advertisements.
