In his 1929 Hollywood production The Case of Lena Smith, director Josef von Sternberg vividly brought to life his youthful memories of the turn of the 20th century through the story a young woman fighting the oppressive class system of Imperial Vienna. Critic Dwight Macdonald called it “the most completely satisfying American film I have seen.” And yet, only a short fragment survives. Assembling 150 original stills and set designs, numerous script and production documents and essays by eminent film historians, the book reconstructs one of the legendary lost masterpieces of the American cinema. It also includes essays by Janet Bergstrom, Gero Gandert, Franz Grafl, Alexander Horwath, Hiroshi Komatsu and Michael Omasta, a preface by Meri von Sternberg, as well as contemporary reviews and excerpts from Viennese literature of the era.
Katastrofe og korrupsjon: det skjulte spillet etter Alexander L. Kielland-ulykken

Da Kielland-plattformen veltet i mars 1980, møtte den ennå unge oljenasjonen Norge sin største utfordring noensinne. Mer enn 40 år senere står nå sentrale vitner endelig frem og forteller det mange var med på å holde skjult, og som tidligere lukkede arkiver bekrefter: Gjennom et samrøre av politikere, næringsaktører og granskere ble sannheten om norgeshistoriens største arbeidsulykke - som kostet 123 liv - unndratt offentligheten. I "Katastrofe og korrupsjon. Det skjulte spillet etter Alexander L. Kielland-ulykken" dokumenteres ikke bare den skjebnesvangre kvelden da plattformen veltet ute på Ekofiskfeltet, men også reaksjonene i land - samt det politiske og økonomiske etterspillet. Historien om Kielland-ulykken er en historie om maktmisbruk og fortielse, og om et sår i sagaen om oljelandet som fortsatt ikke har grodd. Allmennheten ble presentert for enkle sannheter og en offisiell fortelling som på viktige punkter nå viser seg å være i strid med kildene. Ikke bare fikk dette store konsekvenser for enkeltmennesker: Hemmeligholdet og spillet i kulissene gir også grunn til å spørre om det norske demokratiet viste seg oppgaven voksen da katastrofen inntraff. OM MARIE SMITH-SOLBAKKENS ROLLE Boka "Katastrofe og korrupsjon" har blitt til etter en idé av Marie Smith-Solbakken, professor i historie ved Universitet i Stavanger. En vesentlig del av bokas kildegrunnlag ligger i forskningsprosjektet rundt Kielland-katastrofen som Smith-Solbakken har ledet. Denne forskningen har inkludert et hundretall nye intervjuer med involverte (overlevende, pårørende, redningsarbeidere, politi, byråkrater og politikere), og resultatet har blitt en omfattende minnebank. Minnebanken er utgangspunktet for mye ny, publisert forskning, samt TV2s dokumentarserie Katastrofen Kielland (2022). Boka er ført i pennen av Frode Fanebust, mens Smith-Solbakken har bidratt med idé, kilder og råd.

In 1959, the Eighty-one year old Bell System that had exclusively served America's communications needs was one of the country's most revered institutions, having served the country brilliantly with its research, its inventions and the only decent telephone service in the world at the time. A dozen Nobel Prize winners developed the transistor, radio astronomy, the laser and discovered cosmic background radiation at the edge of the universe. But the days of glory were ending, as growing central control began to strangle the company and change it from innovative and forward-looking to a reactionary, insular and hide-bound bureaucracy. By the mid-1960s, it took seven years to bring out a pink plastic Princess telephone.
