Description: | Speech: Stage Fright and What to Do About It Author: Arthur H. Wolf. LON CHANEY, JR. -- MAN SHOOTING THE GUN. MAN, ASKED TO GIVE SPEECH BEFORE LOCAL SERVICE CLUB MEETING, CANNOT PREPARE BECAUSE OF STAGE FRIGHT, SPENDS PANICKED WEEK BEFORE SPEECH. EXPRESSIONISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY, HEAVY NARRATION. Ken Smith sez: "Fred Strong" is the silly-looking main character of this film. A surreal fantasy section is its high point, where the narrator reviews all the things we're afraid of when we speak in front of a crowd. Lon Chaney, Jr. makes a cameo appearance as a guy shooting a gun. Danger Lurks: ANXIETY AND PSYCHOLOGY (SELF-ESTEEM):head Fred is visibly anxious. He outs his hand to his pained stomach, loosens his tie, and grimaces. He wrinkles the skin on his forehead. Cut to image of Fred in his chair at home reading the paper. He looks up with anxious expression and worriedly rubs his chin. Cut to him waking up in middle of the night his eyes pop open and he wrinkles his forehead. Cut to him at the breakfast table. He puts a bite of food up to his mouth but puts it down. He places his worried head into his hands. Day of speech: Fred its waiting to make his speech (at some event). He sweats and looks extremely stressed out. We see him fidgeting he moves his feet and fools with his knife and fork. |
