Podcast appearances and mentions of Alfred E Green

Caballero por un día (The Union Depot, 1932, EE. UU.), de Alfred E. Green, con Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Joan Blondell y Guy Kibbee. Presentación: Nancy Berthier Chick (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.), un vagabundo recién salido de prisión, se encuentra en una estación de tren una maleta que puede cambiar su suerte. Allí conoce a Ruth (Joan Blondell), una corista sin dinero, y los dos se ven envueltos en una intriga criminal en la que cabe el romance, la acción frenética y el melodrama. La estación de tren funciona como un microcosmos tras el desplome del 29. Blondell encarna a la chica dulce al borde de la desesperación y Douglas Fairbanks Jr. a un héroe ambivalente, marginado y rudo, pero a la vez tenaz, con mucho encanto y gran corazón. El sábado se proyecta el vídeo de la presentación del día anterior.Más información de este acto

Heredero La mujer más rica del mundo (Ruth Chatterton) reacciona con clase ante la infidelidad de su marido. Un escritor aventurero (George Brent) la presiona para que corresponda a su amor, y al mismo tiempo la mejor amiga de ella (Bette Davis) intenta seducir al escritor. Este drama de personajes de porte distinguido y agilidad verbal es la primera de las cuatro películas que Chatterton y Brent compartieron entre 1932 y 1933. Si Bette Davis terminó despuntando como actriz de reparto, el “desconocido” Brent alcanzó el estrellato ofreciendo una imagen más sofisticada y dulce que la de sus homólogos de la Warner Bros.

Baby Face is the 1933 film that created the archetypal Barbara Stanwyck character and famously laid everything bare before the production code tried to clean up Hollywood. It's direct and “against interpretation”—but that's what makes it so compelling. Join Tim and Dan for a conversation about how the film speaks to our current moment regarding agency, exploitation, and climbing the corporate ladder. It's also a lot like Richard III. This may have been the first of Barbara Stanwyck's big roles, but it was Alfred E. Green's fifty-fourth feature, which leads to a digression about people who claim that any director did something first. So grab that suitcase of jewels, hop in the back of the ambulance, and give it a listen! In 2015, Victoria Wilson published A Life of Barbara Stanwyck: Steel True 1907-1940. We're still waiting for the next volume, but at 1,056 pages, this one will keep you busy. Also check out Catherine Russell's 2023 collection, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck: Twenty-Six Essays on a Working Star and Dan's interview with the author on the New Books Network.

In this week's entry in our Jean Arthur Acteurist Oeuvre-view series, we look at Alfred E. Green's comedy More Than A Secretary (1936) and Frank Borzage's genre-defying screwball melodrama History Is Made at Night (1937), pairing Arthur with up-and-coming romantic lead Charles Boyer. We compare More Than A Secretary with Green's better-known film about sexual politics in patriarchal office culture, Baby Face, and the possibly influential blending of genres and the lovers' achievement of Borzagean transcendence in History Is Made at Night, which gave Arthur her most glamourous role up to that point.    Time Codes: 0h 1m 00s:      MORE THAN A SECRETARY (1936) [dir.

It's the new year, and we have a new format! Going forward, our plan is to begin each episode by highlighting a few pieces of non-Star Wars media we'd particularly like to put on people's radars - including books, films and TV shows. In this episode's opening, Kirsty recommends the following: - The Lady from the Black Lagoon by Mallory O'Meara - Baby Face (1933), dir. Alfred E. Green - Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), dir. Tim Burton And Rachael has these picks: - Beauty and the Beast (aka The Virgin and the Monster) (1978), dir. Juraj Herz - Boiling Point (2021), dir. Philip Barantini - Wuthering Heights (1988), dir. Yoshishige Yoshida We also have a quick chat about The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, which we have now both read and enjoyed! Around the 30-minute mark, we move on to the main attraction - our thoughts on the first two episodes of The Book of Boba Fett (Stranger in a Strange Land and The Tribes of Tatooine)! We talk about our feelings going into the show, and what we thought about the opening episodes. Tune in to hear us discuss everything from Twi'lek men becoming alarmingly hot to the show's handling of the Tuskens and how Temuera Morrison's Māori heritage appears to have informed the storytelling. We hope you enjoy our return and our new format! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the changes, and we'd welcome any recommendations you might have. You can send your thoughts to us at scavengershoard@gmail.com Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.

A discussion about and look into the stories, the history and personalities that came together to make the silent film, "Ella Cinders" in 1926. Directed by Alfred E. Green and starring Colleen Moore and Lloyd Hughes.

For our Warner Bros. 1934 episode, two tragicomic movies in which Aline MacMahon plays a lovable small business owner with man problems: Side Streets, directed by Alfred E. Green, and Heat Lightning, directed by Mervyn LeRoy. The latter in particular, we conclude, could only have been made by Warner Bros., and gives us the best and the worst of that studio on gender.  Bonus: it's also an Ann Dvorak double-feature.

This week Lee and Daniel are still in 1933, and they decided to sleep their way to the top with bad girl Barbara Stanwyck, in the Alfred E. Green-directed "Baby Face" (1933). Does this pre-code bad-girl-having-sex-picture actually push any boundaries even for its time? Is that John Wayne in a bit part? How is this film comparable with sex comedies and softcore films from the last thirty years? How would the hosts have made this film? Lee also talks briefly about what he's watched as of late. "Baby Face" IMDB Featured Music: "Baby Face" by Little Richard & "Femme Fatale" by The Velvet Underground and Nico.

Prepare for Pre-Code shenanigans galore! In our Warner Bros. 1933 Studios Year-By-Year episode, the socialist studio shows us capitalism at its nastiest and sexiest. In Baby Face and Employees' Entrance, Barbara Stanwyck and Warren William, respectively, “crush” and “smash” in the name of surviving and triumphing in the capitalist system, and make it a lot of fun to watch—that is, when William isn't attacking passed-out women. We learn that Dave has no compassion for either bank or department store executives and marvel at Stanwyck's way with a beer bottle and a would-be molester's head. You don't want to miss this one.   Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:       Baby Face [dir. Alfred E. Green] 0h 46m 50s:       Employees’ Entrance [dir.

Riley Stearns’ new dark comedy THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE centers on an underground scene of fighters who engage in their own version of the transgressive tactics Tyler Durden plays with in 1999’s FIGHT CLUB, but both films are ultimately about the catharsis of violence. After digging into how ART OF SELF-DEFENSE spins the “fight club” premise to its own ends, we pit these two films against each other to see which reigns supreme!…Or, to determine what each movie has to say about their shared interests in misogyny, toxic masculinity, and the dehumanization of life in corporate America.

Our third episode focuses on the small window of films made in Hollywood between 1930 and 1934, known usually as 'Pre-Code'. The censorship rules of the 'Hays Code' was introduced to Hollywood studios in 1930 but was not actually enforced until late 1934. During these years studios were pumping out films testing the limits of propriety, usually with strong central female characters using their wiles to break out of poverty and marital drudgery. This month's He's a Keeper is devoted to the charming Melvyn Douglas. Lastly, an honourable mention to the late Setsuko Hara. Sources: A Woman’s Face (1941) Dir. George Cukor. [DVD] MGM.
