Podcasts about Adolphe Menjou

A terrific dramedy (and not a musical, ironically) featuring an all-star cast about a group of aspiring actresses looking to make it on Broadway.  Starring Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Adolphe Menjou, Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, Gail Patrick, Constance Collier and Andrea Leeds.

It's been awhile since we've done a pre-code film on the show, but this week we remedy that problem. Howard Casner from Pop Art returns to the show to discuss 1932's Forbidden, from director Frank Capra. It stars Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou, and Ralph Bellamy. Beyond the main discussion, we've also got our movie recommendations and the trivia game. So join us for some scandalous pre-code fun.

We're approaching the end of July's theme of GLORY & PROPAGANDA. How appropriate that this month has men carrying guns in every discussion. When you're a French solider in “The Great War” you gotta keep your head on a swivel, even in them trenches. Then you got these shithead commanding officers who seem to want to throw you on the meat pile quickly. Displays of common sense might seem like cowardice to the guy who doesn't have to do the bullshit he commands you to do. Is there justice? Perhaps a dramatic turn of events that saves the lives of brave soldiers? Don't expect that here. People got brass buttons they want to get. Once again, we discuss a Stanley Kubrick feature., the 1957 anti-war film “PATHS OF GLORY” starring Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, & George Macready. Maybe not the first Kubrick war film you think of but one that is just as essential to the history of war on film.

In this week's evocative episode of Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse," we revisit the stirring narrative of "A Farewell to Arms," adapted from Ernest Hemingway's poignant novel. Originally aired on Lux Radio Theatre in the resonant voice of Cecil B. DeMille, we recount the events from two decades prior, setting a dramatic stage for our tale amid America's entry into the First World War. This broadcast, featuring the formidable talents of Clark Gable, Adolphe Menjou, and Josephine Hutchinson, promises a journey through the valour of brave men and the echoes of lovers lost. Clark Gable and Adolphe Menjou take on the roles of courageous ambulance drivers engulfed in the throes of battle. Amidst the clamour of warfare—bombings, air raids, and the grim realities of conflict—they both find themselves enamored with the same steadfast nurse, portrayed by Josephine Hutchinson. As Menjou's character embarks on a deceptive detour, it seems Gable's charm might win the nurse's affection. However, as Gable's character prepares to return to the front, the story takes a twist, and the romance intensifies. The once cavalier soldier is seriously wounded, leading him to a fateful reunion in the very hospital where his beloved serves. Their love defies regulations with a secret hospital marriage, even as they face the consequences of their defiance—her potential dismissal and the complication of her pregnancy. With a heartrending separation as Gable returns to the front and Hutchinson's character seeks refuge in Switzerland, the pair endure a harrowing miscommunication. Letters go unanswered, intercepted by a jealous Menjou, driving a wedge of misunderstanding between the lovers. The tension culminates as Gable's character, tormented by silence, abandons his post to seek the truth, leading to a final, bittersweet reunion. This week's "Sunday Night Playhouse" will leave listeners haunted by the powerful tale of love amid the ruins of war, the frailty of human connections against the backdrop of historical turmoil, and the inescapable reality that not all romances are destined for a happy ending. Join Vintage Classic Radio to experience the stirring emotions and poignant performances of this unforgettable Lux Radio Theatre broadcast—a tale of courage, love, and the fateful whispers of a farewell to arms.

Sarah Shachat joins us on-location in New York City to discuss THE MARRIAGE CIRCLE.. We mull over the evolution this film represents in Lubitsch's tone, the strange pairing of Ernst Lubitsch and the Warner Brothers, the luminous Adolphe Menjou, Lubitsch's bewilderingly advantageous contractual terms, his filmmaking philosophy circa the mid 1920s, the art of splitting couples up at parties, and, of course, Harry The Cameraman's unbelievable story about nickels and bodily organs. Come join our Discord! NEXT WEEK: James Penco joins us to discuss THREE WOMEN. For details as to where to find this film, check out our resources page.

Margaret "Molly" Rasberry joins us to for a special side episode Charlie Chaplin's A WOMAN OF PARIS: A DRAMA OF FATE, a key influence on Ernst Lubitsch going forward. We discuss Chaplin's political leanings, the luminous Adolphe Menjou, the stories of the women who inspired the film, the impact it had on Lubitsch's career, the evolution of film acting techniques, and the joy in pre-code conduct.

Drive-in Movie Day is celebrated on the anniversary of the opening of the first patented drive-in movie theater. On June 6, 1933, Richard Hollingshead opened this drive-in theater, Park-in Theaters, in Pennsauken Township, close to Camden, New Jersey. The year before he had experimented in his driveway by putting a 1928 Kodak projector on his car hood, pinning a sheet to trees, and placing a radio behind the screen. He thought about ways to combat rain and how to space cars so everyone had a view. When his theater opened he charged 25 cents per car and 25 cents per person, but made sure no group paid more than a dollar. Four hundred cars could fit at the theater and the screen measured 40 by 50 feet. The first film shown was Wife Beware starring Adolphe Menjou. I will be joined by April Wright! April Wright is an American writer, director and producer. Her debut narrative feature as a writer and director, Layover, won the Silver Lei Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2009 Honolulu International Film Festival. We will discuss her film, Back To the Drive-In: The drive-in theater was a staple of post-World War II American life, especially teenage life. It even showed up in horror films where teenagers necking in their cars by the flickering light of movie screens were menaced by monsters and aliens. The drive-in was on the decline for many decades, but had a brief resurgence during the coronavirus pandemic because the open-air setting satisfied the urge to go see a movie without risking exposure.

April 11, 1937 - Guests Burns and Allen join Jack Benny for Buck Benny Rides Again (part 10). References include the comedy trio The Ritz Brothers, the actor Adolphe Menjou, Ben Bernie's catchphrase "Yowsa". Plus a joke about shoe trees.

Week 1 of our War Movie theme month. We started off with the 1957 film Paths of Glory. Did we start the month off with the best film of the month?

George Burns and Gracie Allen was one of the funniest duos in the history of American comedy. Both came from vaudeville, where they performed from childhood, honing their skills. When they met and decided to work together, they created an act that is unforgettable. While their earlier shows continued their standup vaudeville act, they gradually transformed their format to create one of the earliest situation comedies.

In honor of Memorial Day, let's revisit one of the earliest films from a true titan of cinema, the late great Stanley Kubrick – this was only the third feature film he directed, and it came three years before what many consider his true breakout film, Spartacus starring Kirk Douglas.  Douglas stars in this as well as a Colonel in the French Army during World War I who is ordered to lead his battalion into an untenable situation right at the edge of the European Front, though No Man's Land.  What results is a tragic incident involving many deaths that only gets more tragic as some surviving soldiers are to be held accountable for what happened – Douglas' Colonel Dax also takes it upon himself to defend these men in court.  This film is part war drama, part courtroom drama, and ALL compelling!  It also stars Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, and George Macready in one of THE greatest anti-war films ever made and from the same filmmaking master who would go on to direct A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, and 2001: A Space Odyssey…among several other classics.Host: Geoff Gershon  Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

For this Universal 1938 episode, we begin by again discussing the relationship between comedy, tragedy, and horror, courtesy of John M. Stahl's Letter of Introduction, featuring famed ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his alter ego, Charlie McCarthy. Edgar rises and Adolphe Menjou falls in a kind of Tolstoyan double plot. Then we watch as Universal's new banker overlords do their best to launch another young female star with the initials DD. French actress Danielle Darrieux (later of Max Ophüls masterpieces) plays a real weirdo in The Rage of Paris, a risqué romantic comedy co-starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and directed by Deanna Durbin specialist Henry Koster, and we give our opinions on whether we think this attempt to launch her in America was a success.    Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:         LETTER OF INTRODUCTION [dir.

"Paths of Glory" 1957 is a World War I drama that somewhat reflects the Souain Corporals affair a true story of four French soldiers executed in 1915 for failure to follow orders. The soldiers were exonerated posthumously in 1934. Director Stanley Kubrick shows the nightmarish horror of trench warfare, brutal treatment of soldiers, and ultimately the corrupt leadership that leads to killing three soldiers.Kirk Douglas is Colonel Dax regimental commanding officer caught in the grinding wheels of leadership's decisions. Adolphe Menjou as Major General Broulardwho supports decisions made by Brigadier General Mireauplayed by George Macready that result in three innocent soldiers being executed.

Before Billy Wilder became the screenwriter and director of iconic films like Sunset Boulevard and Some Like It Hot, he worked as a freelance reporter, first in Vienna and then in Weimar Berlin. Billy Wilder on Assignment: Dispatches from Weimar Berlin and Interwar Vienna (Princeton UP, 2021) brings together more than fifty articles, translated into English for the first time, that Wilder (then known as Billie) published in magazines and newspapers between September 1925 and November 1930. From a humorous account of Wilder's stint as a hired dancing companion in a posh Berlin hotel and his dispatches from the international film scene, to his astute profiles of writers, performers, and political figures, the collection offers fresh insights into the creative mind of one of Hollywood's most revered writer-directors. Wilder's early writings--a heady mix of cultural essays, interviews, and reviews--contain the same sparkling wit and intelligence as his later Hollywood screenplays, while also casting light into the dark corners of Vienna and Berlin between the wars. Wilder covered everything: big-city sensations, jazz performances, film and theater openings, dance, photography, and all manner of mass entertainment. And he wrote about the most colorful figures of the day, including Charlie Chaplin, Cornelius Vanderbilt, the Prince of Wales, actor Adolphe Menjou, director Erich von Stroheim, and the Tiller Girls dance troupe. Film historian Noah Isenberg's introduction and commentary place Wilder's pieces--brilliantly translated by Shelley Frisch--in historical and biographical context, and rare photos capture Wilder and his circle during these formative years. Filled with rich reportage and personal musings, Billy Wilder on Assignment showcases the burgeoning voice of a young journalist who would go on to become a great auteur.

Before Billy Wilder became the screenwriter and director of iconic films like Sunset Boulevard and Some Like It Hot, he worked as a freelance reporter, first in Vienna and then in Weimar Berlin. Billy Wilder on Assignment: Dispatches from Weimar Berlin and Interwar Vienna (Princeton UP, 2021) brings together more than fifty articles, translated into English for the first time, that Wilder (then known as Billie) published in magazines and newspapers between September 1925 and November 1930. From a humorous account of Wilder's stint as a hired dancing companion in a posh Berlin hotel and his dispatches from the international film scene, to his astute profiles of writers, performers, and political figures, the collection offers fresh insights into the creative mind of one of Hollywood's most revered writer-directors. Wilder's early writings--a heady mix of cultural essays, interviews, and reviews--contain the same sparkling wit and intelligence as his later Hollywood screenplays, while also casting light into the dark corners of Vienna and Berlin between the wars. Wilder covered everything: big-city sensations, jazz performances, film and theater openings, dance, photography, and all manner of mass entertainment. And he wrote about the most colorful figures of the day, including Charlie Chaplin, Cornelius Vanderbilt, the Prince of Wales, actor Adolphe Menjou, director Erich von Stroheim, and the Tiller Girls dance troupe. Film historian Noah Isenberg's introduction and commentary place Wilder's pieces--brilliantly translated by Shelley Frisch--in historical and biographical context, and rare photos capture Wilder and his circle during these formative years.

Radio sleuthing wasn't always a serious business. Some detectives successfully mixed in comedy with their crimesolving, and we'll hear three examples this week. First, Adolphe Menjou and Verree Teasdale as a husband and wife duo in Deductions Deluxe, an audition recording that aired on Forecast (originally aired on CBS on July 28, 1941). Then, Allyn Joslyn stars as The Amazing Mr. Smith in "The Story of the Hooting Owl" (audition recorded on November 5, 1946). Finally, Lloyd Nolan and Claire Trevor are the operatives of the agency Results, Incorporated. They're on the hunt for a missing mummy in this episode (originally aired on Mutual on December 30, 1944).

Today's the premiere of “The Cat and the Fiddle,” starring Rise Stevens, Adolphe Menjou and Gordon MacRae performing Jerome Kern's songs like “She Didn't Say Yes,” “A New Love Is Old,” “One Moment Alone” and more! Tune in, today, on our Apple, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify and all major podcast platforms!

It's Women's HIstory Month! And as our means of taking advantage of a remarkable coincidence, in today's episode we're looking at two films where the bulk of the primary cast is female. That said, the theme this week is stories related to the theater. First, we're looking at a favorite of the both of us, 1937's Stage Door, starring Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Adolphe Menjou. After that we jump to 1950, where we learn All About Eve, along with the likes of Anne Baxter, Bette Davis and George Sanders being more George Sanders than in any other movie. The other thing they have in common is that Stage Door is the source of many peoples' Hepburn impression, and Eve is the source of most peoples' Davis impression. Settle in, it's a long episode but the chat is a good, productive one! COMING ATTRACTIONS: In Reel 13 we'll be looking at In the Mood For Love and Lost In Translation, and no, the common thread isn't that they're both set in Asia. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support

Amos n Andy, originally broadcast January 14, 1944. Andy is smitten with Janice Carpenter. Getting a job in a flower shop, a shipment of guest Adolphe Menjou's orchids gets sent to Janice instead of the violets he bought. Also Amos n Andy, originally broadcast January 14, 1929. Andy is trying to think of a slogan for The Fresh Air Taxi Cab Company. Andy recalls his romantic part. Andy is considering hiring an efficiency expert.

Episode 7 - High Noon (Spine #7, CC1107L) Published 10/21/2020 1952, Dir. Fred Zinneman Featured Guest: Theron Seckington The time was certainly right to watch High Noon, a thrilling film about a US marshal about to face an old nemesis, and desperately seeking help from friends, loved ones, or anyone willing to stand up for something. Hear about the film's unusual background as either communist propaganda or conservative fantasy! Correction: John Wayne was president of the Motion Picture Alliance, not the Association. Prominent members included Gary Cooper(!), Cecil B. DeMille, Walt Disney, Irene Dunne, Victor Fleming, John Ford, Clark Gable, Hedda Hopper, Leo McCarey, Adolphe Menjou, Dick Powell, Ayn Rand, Ronald Reagan, Ginger Rogers, Barbara Stanwyck, and King Vidor.

A terrific tale about the simple act of being kind to others, as an upbeat young girl brings her positive attitude to a new town after the death of her parents.  Starring Haley Mills, Jane Wyman, Karl Malden, Agnes Moorehead, Kevin Corcoran, Nancy Olson, and Adolphe Menjou.  The message of this film and episode really epitomizes what the @btwfoundation tries to promote! #BeKind21 #TheGreatBuild @verizonmedia

Manish (@themanish89) and David (@daveagiannini) travel back in time to examine a new decade in queer film. They start their look at the 1930s with Morocco, Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, and Adolphe Menjou. One scene stands out as an iconic one for LGBTQ+ representation, but how does the rest of the film compare?

New theme music, same us. This season we're covering the career of Katharine Hepburn, considered one of the twentieth century's acting legends. We'll be looking back on Hepburn's twelve Oscar nominations, and today we're starting with her first nomination, for 1933's Morning Glory. Hepburn won the Oscar but, in typical Hepburn fashion, was not around to accept. That would happen three more times. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as they talk about Kate, why Kate and co-star Adolphe Menjou couldn't stand each other, and why Cavalcade is the most entertaining movie you've never seen.

It's the year 2020 Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) decided they need to check a few more of Stanley Kubrick's films off their gap list. Thus, they start the year-off with the theme 2020: Janley Kubrick or Stanuary. There are a few back episodes of Movie Club where they watched Kubrick films, but there are some major ones left to see, but now in the year 2020 they will check them off their list. As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all. Week 3: Paths of Glory (1957) Corey brings us back to the 50s with Kubrick's War Drama Paths of Glory (1957). This film is in the Criterion Collection and its plot summary reads "After refusing to attack an enemy position, a general accuses the soldiers of cowardice and their commanding officer must defend them." It stars Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, and Adolphe Menjou. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/berkreviewscom-moviecasts/support

Academy Award Theater - Stars and movies with Oscars were the idea - in most cases, the movie stars recreated their academy award roles for the show, or in other cases, fine actors played the parts and gave it a different character. Both ways make for great radio drama and first class Hollywood motion picture star entertainment. The Lux Radio Theater had been doing this kind of radio show in the grandest manner for many years, but sponsor Squibb had the hubris and deep pockets to take on the competition by doing Academy Award Theater right after the Second World War. The year 1946 was pre-television, and so movies were still the major American visual art form, with radio the other popular network entertainment. In this final pre-TV time, Academy Award Theater was thought of as a premier radio production, a wow show, much like CinemaScope was to be in the 1950's when Hollywood felt the box office blow of early TV.All text on OTRCAT.com are ©2006 OTRCAT INC - All Rights Reserved.
