“I just had the unpleasant sensation of hearing you referred to as my husband.” – It Happened One Night (1934)This week, returning guest Andrew Daniels joins us to break down the original screwball sensation: Frank Capra's It Happened One Night. As the first film to ever sweep the “Big Five” Oscars, this charming romantic comedy set the template for the genre, with pitch-perfect performances from Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, and enough innuendo, wit, and roadside bickering to fuel decades of imitators.We explore how Capra's Depression-era romance struck a chord with audiences, changed the course of Hollywood stardom, and remains as irresistibly funny and tender today as it was in 1934.Episode Notes:It Happened One Night (1934) was directed by Frank Capra and stars Clark Gable and Claudette ColbertSelected to the National Film Registry in 1993First film to win all five major Academy Awards: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and ScreenplayNotable for:Launching the screwball comedy genreIconic scenes like the hitchhiking lesson and the “walls of Jericho”Bridging escapism and social commentary during the Great DepressionDiscussion topics include:The film's influence on romantic comedies for generationsHow it reshaped the public personas of Gable and ColbertCapra's blend of populist ideals and sharp dialogueWhy the film continues to resonate with modern audiencesFeaturing returning guest:Andrew Daniels, author of The Barstool Book of Sports: Stats, Stories, and Other Stuff for Drunken Debate Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

“We're heading into rough seas, Michel.”A Love Story That Stands the Test of TimeIt's interesting that Leo McCarey's 1939 film Love Affair largely fell into obscurity due to both slipping into the public domain and to McCarey's own remake in 1957 as An Affair to Remember. It largely was thanks to Nora Ephron including mention of both films in her 1993 classic Sleepless in Seattle that interest in this original rose again. Now, thanks to a stunning restoration in 2020, the film looks brand new and is certainly worth discovery, or re-discovery. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our series on the 1940 Academy Awards • Best Picture nominees with a conversation about McCarey's 1939 film Love Affair.Here's a hint at what we talk about.We both were more familiar with the story from McCarey's 1957 remake An Affair to Remember starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, but the core of the story remains largely unchanged. That even holds true in Warren Beatty's mess of a remake in 1994 (also called Love Affair), which says something about the strength in the story. We have a few issues with the story, however – the need to wait six months before seeing each other again to prove they're able to survive on their own seems a bit plotted, and Terry's desire to not tell Michel about her accident until she's able to walk to him seems thin. But are they? There's clearly meaning behind their motivations in both cases. Is it just that we actually want it spelled out more, which we rarely actually want? Or is it that we don't quite feel they sell it? It's hard to gauge, so in the end these points don't break things for us. They just give us pause. It's hard to get past that ending though. It's perfect and just rips your heart out before putting it right back. Amazing stuff. There's a reason it's become iconic. And how great are Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer? We discuss them a bit in relation to Grant and Kerr. Who works better for us? Leo McCarey was stepping away from his comedies. How does he do with this material? We also talk about the controversies with the script and why the production code wouldn't pass it initially. And let's not forget the songs!It's a great film and easily one to fall in love with. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

“We're heading into rough seas, Michel.”A Love Story That Stands the Test of TimeIt's interesting that Leo McCarey's 1939 film Love Affair largely fell into obscurity due to both slipping into the public domain and to McCarey's own remake in 1957 as An Affair to Remember. It largely was thanks to Nora Ephron including mention of both films in her 1993 classic Sleepless in Seattle that interest in this original rose again. Now, thanks to a stunning restoration in 2020, the film looks brand new and is certainly worth discovery, or re-discovery.

“When you get inside my head, see if you can find any sense in it.”Bette Davis Dealing with and Dying From GliomaThere's a strength in storytelling that can exist in disease films because we're following a person as they're going through a very difficult period in their life that could very well end in death. That's one of the elements that drew Bette Davis to the play “Dark Victory,” of which she had a hard time convincing Jack Warner that audiences would love it. He was wrong and she proved correctly, however, that a tragic story with your protagonist dying from the disease could draw in the audience. It clearly worked in this case as it lead to several Academy Award nominations including Best Picture. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our 13th season of the podcast with a full year looking at various awards categories through the decades, starting right here in our series on the 1940 Academy Awards • Best Picture as we discuss Edmund Goulding's 1939 film Dark Victory.Here's a hint at what we talk about.At the heart of this film, it's really Bette Davis and she fully delivers. She's very much playing the headstrong socialite we'd see often in her films, though the difference here is right out of the gate, she's diagnosed with glioma, a form of brain tumor. Through her performance, we see her go through many of the stages of grief as she first fights against the fact that she's sick and finally comes to terms and accepts it. It's quite a ride, and it works because of Davis.She couldn't get there without the script, however, and its structure allows this film to be about her battling the disease, not as a side element in the story. From the start, she's suffering from her glioma. It plays in unexpected ways, and lets us take the journey with her. Of course the journey wouldn't be complete without the rest of the players, and they deliver. Geraldine Fitzgerald, George Brent, Ronald Reagan. Only Humphrey Bogart seems out of place here.It's a strong entry into the big studio year of 1939 that saw a lot of successful films of all genres stand out, and this one deservedly was nominated for Best Picture. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

THE classic hardboiled private eye drama with just enough noir to keep things edgy. Sam Spade, Brigid O'Shaughnessy, Joel Cairo, Casper Gutman. Dashiell Hammett brought them to life with his iconic storytelling. The Maltese Falcon is enjoyed as a novel, a motion picture, and a radio drama. The novel, written by American writer Dashiell Hammett was originally serialized in Black Mask magazine, beginning with the September 1929 issue. The complete novel was published in 1930 by Alfred A. Knopf. The novel was adapted as a motion picture four times, most notably in 1941 as John Huston's directorial debut and starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, and Gladys George. This film adaptation of The Maltese Falcon was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Sydney Greenstreet), and Best Adapted Screenplay (John Huston). The Maltese Falcon was adapted twice as an audio book, once as a stage performance, and once as a radio drama, the 3 July 1946 episode of Academy Award, a weekly radio program featuring actors and actresses, techniques and skills chosen from motion pictures nominated or having won the Oscar award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. This episode, entitled The Maltese Falcon starred Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor and Sydney Greenstreet, who reprised their roles in the 1941 motion picture. It is from this episode of Academy Award that we adapted our re-imagined performance. Today, whether as the novel, film, or radio drama, The Maltese Falcon is often cited as the best example of both noir and hardboiled detective fiction. From the noir subgenre comes a bleak tone with nihilistic characters whose greed causes them to lie, steal, and cheat, becoming more and more entangled in a web of machinations from which they cannot escape. The hardboiled detective genre features a somewhat fallen private detective who may bend, even break, the law in pursuit of justice, and who, despite a broken moral compass, emerges from dilemmas with a clean ethical slate. In both noir and hardboiled detective fiction, it is the interaction between characters that moves the story forward. Our story featured a definitive cast of classic characters. First, Sam Spade, a San Francisco private detective with his own code of ethics, and a connoisseur of comebacks. Spade is hounded by police detectives, thugs, and public officials driven by personal career interests. Effie Perine, Spade's secretary, provided comfort and moral guidance, but she had Spade's number. Miles Archer, Spade's partner, was murdered within the first few minutes of the story, a consequence that required a solution from Spade. Joel Cairo was a criminal for sure, but he smelled of gardenias. Casper Gutman, The Fat Man, was wealthy, cunning, charming, obsessed with a falcon statuette. And, finally, Brigid O'Shaughnessy, a femme fatale, beautiful but treacherous, who changed her name, and loyalty, at the drop of a dime. They all were looking for a gold statue of a falcon. It was a volatile but entertaining mix, making The Maltese Falcon arguably one of the best detective stories ever written, and Hammett one of the greatest mystery writers of all time.
