George Bluestone '49, film critic and author, will present his original motion picture "Bartleby" Friday at the Loeb Drama Center at 4 p.m.
The film showing and subsequent discussion on movie-making is this year's Spencer Lectureship, a series of annual programs on aspects of drama. Past Spencer Lecturers, usually practicing artists, have included T. S. Eliot '10, Lillian Hellman, Michael Redgrave, Arthur Miller, and Elia Kazan.
Bluestone, now on a Guggenheim Fellowship, wrote and directed the film, based on a tale by Herman Melville, at the University of Washington. Crews and actors, except for laboratory and sound technicians, were non-professional. Bluestone has also written Novels into Film (1957), a novel; The Private World of Cully Powers (1960), and several stories and reviews.
Harry T. Levin '33, Irving Babbitt Professor of Comparative Literature, who is in charge of the Lectureship, said that after the film Bluestone would discuss movie-making, especially for students interested in film production.
