There would be a study to (Which may exist already), the gaze of Mankiewicz any form of aristocracy, and what separates it from the rest of humanity. In L'Affaire Cicero, Jack James Mason tried in vain to subvert the order of the aristocratic high diplomacy (1), bumping into the window of appearances and seeing his ambitions soar as many tickets without value. In The Castle of the Dragon , his first film, the ratio is reversed in the sense that the aristocracy is a scary place of solitude, summarized by the tower in which the character of Vincent Price withdraws, and which abuts against the democratic order. Cons the people of pious families, beautiful women (Gene Tierney!) And humanistic physicians.
From this anamorphosis of patroons (landowner from father to son), Mankiewicz is a true portrait of the aristocrat in nihilistic: haughty, atheist, placid ... The castle tower stands upright on a world of appearances, rituals and transmission through blood. Addicted to drugs, but especially hooked on Nihilin (in the words of the master in the field), the aristocrat who despises all life is not given by him, all blood that was not hers. That is what sets these great empty lives Gothic, dark, upright, this is what the character of ice Gene Tierney.
Cinema par excellence, this character is sort of a vampire, the supernatural and less. Again there would be many things to say about the transfer of modern zombie vampire: the vampire - and aristocratic monster solo - against the zombie monster - Democratic and face the crowd.
NOTE:
(1) But I think, here again (after the article by Dr. Orloff and that of Joachim Lepastier in Cahiers) a bridge between the universe and the recent Mankiewicz The Social Network, Fincher: Mark Zuckerberg is working too, through his company uses to hack into Harvard's clubs to make it a universal phenomenon.
