Dudley Murphy
Dudley Murphy( July 10, 1897 – February 22, 1968) was an American film director.
Murphy was born on July 10, 1897 in Winchester, Massachusetts, to the artists Caroline Hutchinson( Bowles) Murphy( 1868- 1923) and Hermann Dudley Murphy( 1867- 1945, and whom his son was named for), both accomplished Modernist landscape painters.
After first finding work as a journalist, Dudley Murphy began making films in the early 1920s.
In his first short film," Soul of the Cypress"( 1921), a variation on the Orpheus myth, the film's protagonist falls in love with a dryad( a wood nymph whose soul dwells in an ancient tree) and throws himself into the sea to become immortal and spend eternity with her.
Murphy's then- wife Chase Harringdine played the dryad.
Murphy followed this with" Danse Macabre"( 1922) featuring Adolph Bolm, Olin Howland, and Ruth Page.
Both of these early films are in the DVD collection issued in October 2005( see link below).
Murphy's eighth film," Ballet mécanique", which he co-directed with the French artist Fernand Léger, premiered on 24 September 1924 at the Internationale Ausstellung neuer Theatertechnik( International Exposition for New Theater Technique) in Vienna.
Considered one of the masterpieces of early experimental filmmaking," Ballet mécanique" also included creative input from Man Ray and Ezra Pound, and was presented at the exposition by Frederick Kiesler.
The film was scheduled to be screened with George Antheil's masterpiece of the same name.
However, the music ran close to 30 minutes, while the film was 17 minutes long.
In 2000, Paul Lehrman produced a married print of the film.
In her book" Dudley Murphy: Hollywood Wild Card", film historian Susan Delson argues persuasively that Murphy was the film's driving force but that Léger was more successful at promoting the film as his own creation.
" Ballet mécanique", with the George Antheil music originally written for the film, was included in the DVD collection released in October 2005.
In addition to" Ballet mécanique", Murphy is best remembered for" St. Louis Blues"( 1929) with Bessie Smith and Jimmy Mordecai," Black and Tan"( 1929) with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra," Confessions of a Co- Ed"( 1931)," The Sport Parade"( 1932) with Joel McCrea, and" The Emperor Jones"( 1933), starring Paul Robeson.
In 1932, Murphy helped introduce the Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros to prominent people in the Los Angeles community.
To show his gratitude, Siqueiros painted a mural on a wall in Murphy's Pacific Palisades home.
The only intact mural by Siqueiros in the United States," Portrait of Mexico Today" was donated anonymously to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 1999.
From the late 1940s through the 1960s Murphy and his fourth wife, Virginia, owned and operated Holiday House, an exclusive Malibu hotel designed by Richard Neutra and favored by the Hollywood elite.
