„I saw Goring enter Vienna“
Editorial content. „Films IN CHANGING Europe
By Gladys Murphy Graham
Motion pictures are traced through the turbulent ways
of Europe. The political government, totalitarian
dictatorships, deeply rooted democracies, variations of both,
change the uses and character of the motion picture.
IT would be difficult to find a more interesting trail
to follow than this one of the motion picture along the ways
of Europe in crisis.“ (...)
„AGAIN THE PROBLEM OF NEWS REEL ,TRUTH‘
The setting: Vienna and Berlin
I saw Goring enter Vienna just thirteen days after it was
taken over by Germany; I saw the newsreel version
of that event a few weeks later in Berlin. It would be difficult
to find a wider gulf than the one separating the two
in the real and deep ,truth‘ of a situation.“ (...)
„The first flash might well have been back to the
canvas-decked machines, parading the streets
in the preceding days, with their inviting red, black and white
,Goring Speaks‘ – and always, just behind each, the
lorry of armed soldiers.“ (...)
„If any of that was caught, along with the scent of tense
eagerness, it was not in the recorded version,
only the final moment, the welcoming children, the crowds
of salute, the bowing Field Marshal and the caption
,All Vienna Joyously Welcomes...‘ If the documentary film
that recorded itself in my mind that day could have
been taken.
But if it had, the pictures would never have been allowed
to leave Vienna, nor would the taker of them.“ (...)
