Reviews

A behind-the-scenes look at screen tests and how they work in Hollywood. Lynne Overman is presenting everything as straight facts, but his hard-boiled delivery gives everything a "winking" sense of tongue-in-cheek. The first scene is with a very young Betty Jane Rhodes. She is getting ready in a make-up mirror before walking in for her screen test. Their back and forth is pretty funny and a self reflexive, when he wishes her luck, and then says they all need it, like by doing this short his career is going down the tubes. What follows is a very nice soft-focus musical number with Betty Jane. Afterwards, the focus shifts to a young opera star that Paramount is testing. Gladys Swathout performs a number, and then the short wraps up abruptly. Overman talks about the number of tests done in Hollywood and the rate of success being small, and then the story is over. It is interesting to note that all three actors went on to successful careers.

Kirk, the film has lost none of its hallucinatory power. The short goes deep into the structure of Peter Care’s original film and the Cabaret Voltaire tracks used in connection with it. What emerges is as much a juxtaposition of times and places as sights and sounds. The tale changes in the retelling, but that change now seems to be taking place on a molecular level. Richard H Kirk has reconfigured the film’s soundtrack, giving the proceedings an ominous sense of something slowly sliding into view from afar, glimpsed out of the corner of the eye.
