Series 2. Film, circa 1925-1985 (continued) | |||||||||||||
Five, circa 1948-1984 (bulk 1948-1952) | |||||||||||||
Released: 1951. Production company: Lobo Productions. Distribution company:
Columbia Pictures Corp. Director: Arch Oboler. Producer: Arch Oboler. Writer:
Arch Oboler. Cast includes: William Phipps (Michael Rogin); Susan Douglas
(Roseanne); James Anderson (Eric). Photography: Louis Clyde Stouman. Plot: The
only five people to survive a nuclear holocaust try to survive in a rural area
near New York City. Ultimately the group is reduced by conflict, radiation
sickness, and murder to just a man and a woman. Notes: Filmed in 1950 on a low budget, Five was shot mainly in and around "Cliff House," the futuristic house that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Oboler and his wife in the Santa Monica Mountains. The film was nominated for best-written American low-budget movie by the Screen Writers Guild in 1952. |

Among the correspondence with cast and crew are items concerning lawsuits filed by Oboler and a cameraman, Arthur Swerdloff, over a scuffle on the movie set. A disagreement between Oboler and Columbia Pictures over the pairing of Five with the controversial film M in theaters is also documented. | |||||||||||||

Alternate titles: One Plus One; Arch Oboler's 1+1: Exploring the Kinsey Reports; 1+1; Exploring the Kinsey Reports. Released: 1961. Production company: Fluorite, Ltd. Distribution
company: Selected Films. Director: Arch Oboler; assistant directors: Richard
Dixon, Gordon Milligan. Producer: Arch Oboler; associate producer, Suzanne
Warner. Writer: Arch Oboler; based on his play Mrs. Kingsley's Report, which was broadcast as episode 4 of the television series Arch Oboler's Comedy Theater, 1949. Cast includes: Leo G. Carroll (Prof. R.D. Logan); Hilda Brawner
(Clare Hollister); William Traylor (Hollister). Photography: George Jacobson.
Plot: Consists of five stories about marriage and divorce, premarital and
extramarital sexual relations, and abortion told by students in Prof. R.D.
Logan's symposium on marriage and the Kinsey Reports. The stories include
"Honeymoon," "Homecoming," "The Divorcee," "Average Man," and "Baby." No one in
the symposium, however, discusses love. Notes: Includes an animated sequence by Pictafilm about a polygamous dinosaur. The film was shot in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 1960-1961. |

The materials document the challenges faced by Oboler in making a film in Canada, including hiring cast and dealing with unions and taxation issues. Oboler and his assistant Jerry Kay conducted a major publicity campaign for the film, and their promotional endeavors are well described in this group of material. There is a large quantity of financial paperwork in the collection. Also of interest is correspondence with the Kinsey Institute concerning the use of Alfred Kinsey's name in the film's title. Papers indicate that Oboler's request to use the name was initially denied, but permission may eventually have been secured since the film is sometimes subtitled, "Exploring the Kinsey Reports." | |||||||||||||
