FIFTIES: TELEVISION AND A NEW HOLLYWOOD, THE 050067
Host: Liza Minnelli. The fifties were alternately characterized by the Eisenhower Administration, nuclear threat, the Cold War, innuendo of the McCarthy hearings, the passivity of youth, the automobile culture, civil rights activism and the flight to the suburbs. Television brought entertainment into the home and overnight halved the weekly attendance at theatres. Hollywood fought back. A whole new generation of stars was promoted: James Dean, Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas, Audrey Hepburn and Marlon Brando. Gimmicks were pushed: drive-ins, 3-D, ster- eophonic sound and wide-screen. Epics such as "Ben Hur," "The Robe" and "Cleopatra" had to be seen on the big screen. "Picnic," "Love in the Afternoon," "A Place in the Sun" and "From Here to Eternity" epit- omized the concentration on romance.

FILM NOIR PART 7 OF 13 056568
A genre of unusually cynical, pessimistic, even paranoid Hollywood movies made in the 1940s and '50s, film noir blends expressionism and realism, psychological exploration and physical violence. The program probes the peculiar look of film noir - from "Double Indemnity" and "Kiss Me Deadly" to "Mean Streets" and "Body Heat" - its roots in Ger- man Expressionism, and its disturbing sense of corruption and urban decay. A cinematographer demonstrates how noir lighting is created. And historians link the genre's overriding paranoia to the Cold War - both the nuclear threat and the Hollywood blacklisting of the period.

FILM SCHOOL GENERATION, THE PART 9 OF 13 056570
In the 1960s and '70s, a pack of brash young mavericks appeared in Hollywood and prepared to revolutionize the way American films were made and appreciated. Trained in film schools and steeped in a love of classical Hollywood movies, these directors - Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and others - drew on their knowledge of the great films of the past to create new visions of cinema, and they did so at a time when Hollywood needed to reinvent itself simply to stay alive economically. The program traces the rise of the new Hollywood directors by looking at the financial and cultural forces that made their ascendance possible; the infuence of classical Holly- wood genres, new technology, and the French New Wave on their work; and their evolution as idiosyncratic film makers with commercial clout

FIRST SIGNS OF WASHOE 050165
Two comparative psychologists, Alan and Trixie Gardner took baby chimpanzee Washoe into their home to raise as their own child. They began to teach her American Sign Language the way deaf parents would teach their child. By the time she was five, Washoe had a vocabulary of 130 signs. She could name objects, express need and desires, even express such abstract ideas as smart, funny or depressed. Man has long prided himself on being the only creature capable of free and indep- endant thought. But when taught the sign for duck, Washoe instead chose to combine other signs to express her idea of a duck as a "wat- er bird". It seems that chimps, given the vocabulary, are capable of expressing their own ideas. Man no longer finds himself unique.

FIT is a hauntingly beautiful visual essay that explores the extensive cultural roots of America's fitness fanaticism. From the physical culture boom of the 1890's to eugenics and the efficience craze of the 1920's, from Madison Avenue's marketing of health to Charles Atlas, Wonder Woman, Jack La Lanne and the Kennedy fitness programs, FIT demonstrates that what's changed is not the urge to stay fit, but the agenda behind it. With its strong interdisciplinary approach and wealth of archival materials, FIT uniquely reveals the ways in which our culture's hopes, fears, longings and anxieties are inseparable from our experience of our bodies.
