“RICHARD CARLSON: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” (081) - 3/31/2025 Tall, dark-haired, and handsome, RICHARD CARLSON was always a welcomed addition to any cast. From the beginning, when he was playing preppy college students opposite LANA TURNER, to his reign in the 1950s as the King of Sci-Fi thrillers, Carlson brought believability and authority to each role but also a sense of introspective thoughtfulness. You looked into his deep blue eyes and chiseled face and believed him. Whatever he was selling, we were buying. And while he never became an A-list leading man, he enjoyed a long and steady career and enhanced many a mediocre film with his special appeal. This week, we celebrate RICHARD CARLSON as our Star of the Month.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Monsters in the Machine (2016), by Steffen Hantke; Keep Watching the Skies (2009), by Bill Warren; “Richard Carlson: Albert Lea's Other Film & Television Star,” December 24, 2016, by Ed Shannon; “Today's Underrated Actor Spotlight: Richard Carlson,” June 24, 2105, by Bynum, www.thetinseltoentwins.com; “A Tribute To Richard Carlson,' January 9, 2014, www.scififilmfiesta.com; “Richard Carlson, Actor, Dies at 65,” November 27, 1977, New York Times; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned:  Desert Death (1935), starring Raymond Hatton; The Young in Heart (1938), starring Janet Gaynor, Roland Young, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr & Paulette Goddard; The Duke of West Point (1938), starring Louis Hayward & Joan Fontaine; Winter Carnival (1939), starring Ann Sheridan, Richard Carlson, & Robert Mitchum; These Glamour Girls (1939), starring Lana Turner & Lew Ayres; Dancing Co-Ed (1939), starring Lana Turner & Richard Carlson; Beyond Tomorrow (1940), starring Haley Carey & Charles Winning; No, No, Nanette (1940), starring Anna Neagle; The Howards of Virginia (1940), starring Cary Grant & Martha Scott; Back Street (1941), starring Margaret Sullavan & Charles Boyer; The Little Foxes (1941Ol staring Bette Davis & Teresa Wright; The Affairs of Martha (1942), starring Marsha Hunt & Richard Carlson; My Heart Belongs to Daddy (1942), starring Richard Carlson & Martha O'Driscoll; Fly By Night (1942) starring Richard Carlson & Nancy Kelly; Hold That Ghost (1941), starring Bud Abbot & Lou Costello; White Cargo (1942), staring Hedy Lamarr& Walter Pidgeon; Presenting Lily Mars (1943), starring Judy Garland & Van Heflin; The Man From Down Under (1943), starring Charles Laughton & Donna Reed; So Well Remembered (1947), starring John Mills & Martha Scott; Behind Locked Doors (1948), starring Richard Carlson & Lucille Bremer; The Amazing Mr. X (1948), starring Turban Bey, Lynn Bari, & Cathy O'Donnell; King Solomon's Mines (1950), starring Stewart Granger & Deborah Kerr; The Sound of Fury (1950), starring Frank Lovejoy; The Blue Veil (1951), starring Jane Wyman, Charles Laughton, & Joan Blondell; The Magnetic Monster (1953), starring Richard Carlson; It Came from Outer Space (1954), starring Richard Carlson & Barbara Rush; The Maze (1953), starring Richard Carlson & Hillary Brooke; The Creature from The Black Lagoon (1954), starring Richard Carlson & Julie Adams; All I Desire (1953), starring Barbara Stanwyck & Richard Carlson; Riders To the Stars (1954), starring William Lundigan; Appointment with a Shadow (1957), starring George Nadar; The Saga of Hemp Brown (1957), starring Rory Calhoun; Johnny Rocco (1958), starring Richard Evers & Coleen Gray; Tormented (1960), starring Richard Carlson; Kid Rodelo (1966), starring Broderick Crawford & Janet Leigh; Change of Habit (1969), starring Elvis Pressly, Mary Tyler moore, & Richard Carlson; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers John Herbert “Jackie” Gleason was born on February 26th, 1916, on Chauncey Street in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The younger of two children, his brother Clement died from meningitis at fourteen in 1919. Six years later his father left the family. Gleason's mother Mae got a job as a subway attendant for the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation. Jackie spent his youth hustling pool and performing in class plays. He quit high school and took a job to perform at local theaters, putting on acts with friends, and then emceed at the Folly Theater. When Jackie was nineteen in 1935 his mother died from complications of sepsis. He worked his way up to a job at Manhattan's Club 18. Jack Warner saw him, signing Gleason to a contract for two-hundred-fifty dollars per-week. Jackie married dancer Genevieve Halford on September 20th, 1936. The couple had two children: Geraldine, born in 1940, and Linda, born in 1942. Classified as 4-F and rejected for military service, by the summer of 1944 a twenty-eight year-old Gleason had appeared in films opposite Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, and Betty Grable. He also became known for hosting all-night parties in his hotel suite. His hotel soundproofed his apartment out of consideration for its other guests. NBC, seeing something in the brash, outspoken Brooklynite, added him to Double Feature, co-starring Les Tremayne and Alfred Drake, Sunday nights at 10:30PM. Rebranded The Les Tremayne-Jackie Gleason Show, he debuted this episode on August 13th, 1944. Edgar Bergen was the special guest. This is that debut. The show would air until October 22nd.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** As CAROLE LANDIS was known as “The Ping Girl” and ANN SHERIDAN was known as “The Oomph” Girl,” actress MARIE McDONALD was saddled with the equally misogynistic title, “The Body.” Yes, she was tall, leggy, and curvy, but she was also talented, a fact that many of the powerful men of Hollywood seemed to forget. Unfortunately, Marie was better known for her wild private life that included seven marriages, high profile romances, tabloid escapades, and one of the most bizarre kidnappings to ever happen in Hollywood. This week, we tell the colorful story of this long-forgotten leading lady.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Tragic Hollywood: Beautiful, Glamorous, and Dead (2013), by Jackie Ganiy; “Marie McDonald ‘Gets Sick' With Former Husband,” January 6, 1955, Toledo Blade; “Millionaire Asks Divorce From Marie McDonald,” May 22, 1956, Daytona Beach Morning Journal; “Marie McDonald Reported Held By Kidnappers,” January 4, 1957, Ellensburg Daily Record; “Marie McDonald Tells Police How She Was Seized By Two Men,” January 5, 1957, Reading Eagle; “Marie McDonald Stars In Police Film of Kidnapping,” January 8, 1957, The Telegraph; “Grand Jury Probes Marie's Kidnap,” January 16, 1957, The Deseret News; “Marie McDonald Leaves Hospital” June 15, 1958, Reading Eagle; “Actress Marie McDonald Weds Again,” May 25, 1959, St. Petersburg Times; “Marie McDonald's Fourth Husband Seeking Divorce,” September 18, 1962, Daily News; “New Ruling Calls Marie McDonald Death Accidental,” December 30, 1965, The Toledo Blade; “Marie McDonald, Actress, Is Dead; Autopsy Was Inconclusive, Glamour Girl Was 42,” October 21, 1965, The New York Times; “Movie Producer Donald Taylor Apparent Suicide,” January 3, 1966, Rome News Tribune; “Phantom Intruders Abducted A Pin-Up Star,” July 2, 2022, Medium.com; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Pardon My Sarong (1942), staring Lou Abbott and Lou Costello; Lucky Jordan (1942), starring Alan Ladd and Marie McDonald; I Love a Soldier (1944), starring Paulette Goddard, Sonny Tufts, and Beulah Bondi; Guest In The House (1944), starring Anne Baxter and Ralph Bellamy; Getting Gertie's Garter (1945), starring Marie McDonald and Dennis O'Keefe; Living In A Big Way (1946), starring Gene Kelly and Marie McDonald; The Geisha Boy (1958), starring Jerry Lewis and Marie McDonald; Promises!

EPISODE 33 - “Zachary Scott: Star of the Month (May)” - 04/29/2024 Suave, debonaire, and effortlessly charming, ZACHARY SCOTT is best known for his role in MICHAEL CURTIZ's film noir classic Mildred Pierce (1945). As the duplicitous, silver-tongued charmer Monte Beragon, he romances Mildred, played by JOAN CRAWFORD (in her Oscar-winning role), and Mildred's daughter, Veda (ANN BLYTH). This became Scott's signature role: the sexy cad who was usually at his best swindling, seducing, or being a general scoundrel. It was always fun watching Scott's dastardly ways unfold. He could rock a tux, looked naked without a martini in his hand, and always had a cigarette close by. He was so magnetic that he could even make film-goers feel sorry for him. While he seldom got to play the good guy, when he did, as in what is perhaps one of his best roles in JEAN RENOIR's The Southerner (1945), you realize the versatility that he seldom had the opportunity to display. With a career that included over 40 films and dozens of television roles, ZACHARY SCOTT is our Star of the Month.

EPISODE 30 - “Robert Walker: Old Hollywood's Tragic Boy Next Door” - 04/08/2024 No one played sensitive, lost souls quite like ROBERT WALKER. However, he is best known for playing one of the most complicated, psychopaths in film history, Bruno Antony in ALFRED HITCHCOCK's masterpiece “Strangers On A Train” (1951). His journey from playing sensitive innocents to playing Bruno is reflective of his troubled, turbulent life, and the heartbreak from which he never recovered. This week, we'll discuss the artistry and the tragedy of this incredible actor.

Our Warner Brothers 1943 episode is a very special one, a Popular Front anti-Nazi double feature, the Stalinist propaganda film Mission to Moscow (directed by Michael Curtiz) and Lewis Milestone's drama about Norwegian resistance to the Nazi occupation, Edge of Darkness. We attempt (as complete non-experts!) to lay out the stakes involved in the case made by Mission to Moscow and discuss the circumstances of the film's production and the impact it made on Hollywood. Then we move on to Milestone and screenwriter Robert Rossen's depiction of what it takes to form a successful resistance movement—in this case led by a subdued Errol Flynn and a steely Ann Sheridan. Come to find out how Dave and Elise would have felt about living through Stalin's Five-Year Plans, stay to find out whether or not they would have been quislings.

In this very special Warners 1942 episode we discuss two Dave faves, both starring (and romantically pairing) Ann Sheridan and Ronald Reagan, that push against the restrictions of the Production Code: Sam Wood's Peyton Place/Twin Peaks forerunner, Kings Row, and Curtis Bernhardt's noirish agrarian socialist drama, Juke Girl. We dive deep into Kings Rows' Freud-and-Emerson-steeped advocacy of a less repressed and hypocritical society and Juke GIrl's utopic/dystopic vision of humanity. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we have a very disparate group of films this week: Flowers of Shanghai (1998), One False Move (1992), and Brief Encounter (1945), which Elise compares to Jeanne Dielman (although - spoilers - Brief Encounter does have a happier ending).  Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      KINGS ROW [dir.

Kerry and Collin squeeze in a previously unplanned episode by celebrating the 80th anniversary of "The Man Who Came To Dinner," starring Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan and Monty Woolley. This movie never quite gets its due, except for the occasional "alternative Christmas movie" list. Don't we all wish we could be Sheridan Whiteside once in a while? Who is capable of stealing his thunder when he/she enters the room? What was Bette Davis' own reaction to the film? All this, plus three films in the Book segment, one of which is directly related to the main topic. Movies covered in the Book segment: "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) "The Hustler" (1961) "Kiss of the Spider Woman" (1985)

The Women (1939) ​ The Women is a 1939 American comedy-drama film directed by George Cukor. The film is based on Clare Boothe Luce's 1936 play of the same name, and was adapted for the screen by Anita Loos and Jane Murfin, who had to make the film acceptable for the Production Code for it to be released.  The film stars Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine, Lucile Watson, Mary Boland, Florence Nash, and Virginia Grey. Marjorie Main and Phyllis Povah also appear, reprising their stage roles from the play. Ruth Hussey, Virginia Weidler, Butterfly McQueen, and Hedda Hopper also appear in smaller roles. Fontaine was the last surviving actress with a credited role in the film; she died in 2013. It is also important to note that even the animals and pets are all female.  The film continued the play's all-female tradition—the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female. Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno, Nevada, where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and other women they come into contact with.  Filmed in black and white, it includes a six-minute fashion parade filmed in Technicolor, featuring Adrian's most outré designs; often cut in modern screenings, it has been restored by Turner Classic Movies. On DVD, the original black-and-white fashion show, which is a different take, is available for the first time. ​ The Opposite Sex (1956)   The Opposite Sex is a 1956 American musical romantic comedy film shot in Metrocolor and CinemaScope.[3][4] The film was directed by David Miller and stars June Allyson, Joan Collins, Dolores Gray, Ann Sheridan, and Ann Miller, with Leslie Nielsen, Jeff Richards, Agnes Moorehead, Charlotte Greenwood, Joan Blondell, and Sam Levene. ​ The Opposite Sex is a remake of the 1939 comedy film The Women. Both films are based on Clare Boothe Luce's original 1936 play. ​ Unlike the 1936 play and the 1939 film adaptation, The Opposite Sex includes musical numbers and features male actors who portray the husbands and boyfriends, whose characters were only referred to in the previous film and stage versions.[6] This alters the structure and tone of the base storyline significantly.   Opening Credits; Introduction (.37); Background History (42.13);The Women (1939) Film Trailer (44.51); The Original (48.16); Let's Rate (1:43.07); Amazing Design (1:59.54); Introducing a Remake (2:01.07); The Opposite Sex (1956) Film Trailer (2:01.41); The Remake (2:05.22); How Many Stars (2:44.07); End Credits (2:58.26); Closing Credits (3:00.39)   Opening Credits– Epidemic Sound – copyright 2021.

Warner Bros Studios pumped out this myth, Buzzkillers, before production had even started on the movie. Reagan was too genial to play a world-weary, hard-drinking, cynical American who left occupied France to run a bar in Morocco. Bogart practically embodied the role, and he was slated for the part all along! Episode 471

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 part 1 of 2, Warner Bros executive and film historian George Feltenstein joins with Alan K. Rode, author of “Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film,” for a lively discussion of the 1938 classic gangster film ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES.  George gives background on the restoration process to bring the film to Blu-ray and explains why he was so adamant about releasing the film before the end of 2021.Alan K. Rode provides additional insights into the director of the film, Michael Curtiz, and his relationships with the star-studded cast of James Cagney as Jimmy Sullivan, Pat O'Brien as Father Jerry Connolly, Ann Sheridan as Laury Ferguson, Humphry Bogart as James Frazier, and The Dead End Kids (who first appeared with Bogart in the 1935 film DEAD END).In addition, they discuss the importance of this beloved film to Warner Bros and film history.www.alankrode.comwww.filmnoirfoundation.comwww.theextras.tv

Another star studded big show!

Not to be confused by the 'Home Alone' parody, this classic gangster film follows the lives of two childhood friends who take complete opposite paths in their lives.  Starring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, Ann Sheridan, and The Dead End Kids.  Directed by Michael Curtiz.

Under discussion this week is Raoul Walsh's 1940 Trucker Noir classique They Drive by Night starring George Raft, Ida Lupino, Humphrey "Don't" Bogart "That Joint, My Friend" and Ann Sheridan. It's a good'un. The movie that is. Next week's picture show: The Andromeda Strain.

When we did our other podcast, the movie Black Legion had been on TCM the week before. I asked Tom if he had seen it and hadn't. I asked if he would watch it and discuss, and he watched, and we discussed. It's based on a true story and there really was a Black Legion. This film is unfortunately forever topical. Strike fear in people and keep it up and hence you get groups like this. I can bet they had this since cavemen times. Differing Area's cave peeps spoke different grunts, their feet were bigger, who knows. There's aways someone different and people fearing them.  It's a fascinating watch. Bogart is very good and so adorably young as a regular Joe being convinced the foreigners, them, they, are coming for his job, his life style and the American way. He does a great job. He won an award as did the film. Dick Foran was very good and a cutie pie. Ann Sheridan was good also in one of her first films, before she became The Oooomph girl. They whole cast was a winner. It's a good watch, but it definitely is not Singing In The Rain. On a lighter note we discuss Dick's singing cowboy career. Also, the fight to get Dick singing out on the trails before Gene Autry. Gene beat him to it. I was loving Dick's American Cowboy corral of choral singers. He had a whole posse of back up singers. I hope the bad guys didn't hear. ;  ) It's interesting hearing what an actors son has to say about a movie his dad was in that he just discovered. Tom is a wonderful guest and you will enjoy him as much as I do. He is welcome anytime.  Thanks a zillion Tom. You are fab!! Baby Wyatt is majorly gorgeous.  Mostly, thanks to the audience. Life throws a lot at you sometimes. I'm a when it rains it pours kinda gal, but I come out swinging and stronger. I know you all can relate. Thanks for being so loyal and patient. I love you all!!

Woman on the Run is a 1950 American crime film noir directed by Norman Foster and starring Ann Sheridan and Dennis O'Keefe. The film was based on the April 1948 short story "Man on the Run" by Sylvia Tate and filmed on location in San Francisco. The film was restored and preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Plot. Frank Johnson (Ross Elliott) is an unsuccessful painter who is out walking his dog one night when a car stops nearby and he overhears an argument. The passenger of the car is trying to blackmail the driver. Frank overhears the driver say that people call him "Danny Boy". Then he sees the driver shoot the man trying to blackmail him and then push his body out of the car. The killer then sees Frank hiding in the shadows and takes some shots at him before driving away. The victim was going to testify before a grand jury against a gangster. Since Frank saw the shooter, Police Inspector Ferris (Robert Keith) wants to place him in protective custody so he can testify. Frank has second thoughts and slips away while the police are milling around. Ferris goes to Frank's wife, Eleanor (Ann Sheridan) to see if she can help him find Frank. She is not especially cooperative or concerned about her husband. She tells Ferris about her unhappy marriage and says that it's "just like him, always running away." Ferris asks her, "Running away from what?" She replies, "From everything." The police keep watch on her building in case Frank decides to come home. Eleanor later tries to sneak out of her building without being spotted by the police and encounters reporter Danny Legget (Dennis O'Keefe). He offers his help and $1000 for an exclusive story. They both go to a club that Frank often visits in order to sketch the dancers. Sam (Victor Sen Yung ), a waiter friend of Frank's, secretly passes along a message to Eleanor that Frank will send her a letter addressed to his co-worker Maibus (John Qualen ). But Legget reads the message too without Eleanor noticing. When Eleanor returns to her apartment, Ferris informs her that he has spoken with Dr Hohler (Steven Geray) who is Frank's doctor. Frank is taking medicine for a bad heart, a condition that she was unaware of. Ferris has instructed all druggists to notify him if someone asks for it. Eleanor goes to see Frank's doctor who tells her how serious her husband's condition can be and that it could even be fatal. The doctor gives Eleanor some of Frank's medicine. Eleanor then goes to the Hart & Winston department store, the store where Frank works as a window designer to see if she can get the letter Frank sent to Maibus. But Maibus doesn't have the letter and the mail clerk tells him there was no letter. Legget has managed to get the letter by bribing the mail clerk before Eleanor had arrived. Legget reads it but the letter doesn't tell him where to find Frank. He has to show the letter to Eleanor, who is the only person who can decipher the message. The letter gives some details that only Eleanor would know where Frank is staying, but Eleanor can't figure out what Frank is trying to tell her. They speak to Sam again at the club. One of the dancers, Suzie (Reiko Sato ), mentions to Legget that Frank made a sketch that looks like him, but Eleanor doesn't hear her conversation with Legget. Suzie tells Legget that she expects that she will give the sketch to the police when they return. Legget and Eleanor cross the street to ask some questions in a bar that Frank liked. Legget leaves Eleanor to make a phone call and returns to the club unnoticed. Suzie dies from a mysterious fall from the building. Legget tears up the drawing before joining Eleanor again just as police cars and an ambulance arrive at the club. During the course of her investigation, Eleanor learns things that she never knew about Frank. She learns that everyone who knows Frank likes and admires him. They all believe that she must be a wonderful person if Frank married her. She begins to question herself and her feeli

When Ashley first saw WOMAN ON THE RUN at the Noir City Film festival in 2015, she just knew her good friend Dave, a proud San Francisco native, would absolutely love it. It only took four years for him to see it, partly because Ashley couldn’t remember what it was called. Shot on location in mid-century San Francisco, this noir thriller by director Norman Foster features great visuals, an outstanding lead performance by Ann Sheridan as a woman searching for her husband after he witnesses a mob murder, and some top-rate character actors to keep things interesting. Twice thought lost forever, the story of saving and restoring this film has almost as many twists as the film itself, almost...   Subscribe in iTunes, Android, or Spotify.

The Gipper’s fourth and final supporting appearance in a Dick Powell buffoon-and-crooner finds Reagan headed in the wrong direction down the cast list. To be fair, it’s quite an assemblage, with Ann Sheridan, Helen Broderick, Allen Jenkins, ZaSu Pitts, Gale Page, Granville Bates, William B. Davidson, “Slapsie Maxie” Rosenbloom, and Quarter-Million-Dollar-Moustache-Man Jerry Colonna hoovering up most of the comedic oxygen. The film also benefits from a set of mildly diverting novelty tunes by Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer (including the immortal “Hooray For Spinach”). Less of an asset is a Wald and Macaulay script afflicted by an excess of insistent tics. Every single character – with the possible exception of Reagan’s small-time music publisher – has some dementedly distinctive hitch in their palaver. Fans of Gareth’s theory of Reagan-as-mediating figure will find a great deal of support for the contention in this one, wherein the actor practically evaporates into the ether. And the big plagiarism plot provides a fine pretext for some spirited intellectual property law anathematizing.

If Wyoming Steve Gibson didn't exist, those darned culture industry stupidity profiteers would've had to invent him. What's that? He doesn't exist? Hot damn! The Gipper takes a back saddle to Dick Powell once again in 1938's COWBOY FROM BROOKLYN, a film that (as contemporaries were quick to observe) did absolutely nothing for any of the talented people involved in its creation.    An elaboration of the (white) cultural appropriation narrative popularized by earlier Powell vehicles like BROADWAY GONDOLIER, this lower-drawer Lloyd Bacon musical comedy does derive a bit of satiric energy from Warner Brothers' obvious contempt for all things rural and countrified, but the film's central conceit (that people will put up with - and possibly even laugh at - 90 minutes' worth of Dick Powell running screaming from squirrels and barnyard fowl) is so catastrophically misguided that most viewers will have fallen off this irritating bull long before its Gender Panic Rodeo finale.    Can a movie with Priscilla Lane, Ann Sheridan, James Stephenson, Pat O'Brien, Granville Bates, Hobart Cavanaugh, Elisabeth Risdon, Dick Foran, Dick Powell, and Ronald Reagan be all bad? 12-year old Dave would never have believed it, but...  Try watching this one under hypnosis and see if that helps.     Now is a time for choosing.

“They Drive By Night” tells the story of two brothers and two women. It’s a story about truck drivers, the men who hire them, the men who work for them, and the women that love them. It’s a story about loss, gain, love and hate. It’s so many different stories and themes that it’s difficult to pin the film down, but it all hangs together thanks to the excellent directing by Raoul Walsh, the screenwriting of Jerry Wald and Richard Macaulay and of course the outstanding acting of George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Hale and many more. The entire cast is top notch. As the one sheet poster declares “NO PICTURE IN 1940 WILL HAVE BIGGER THRILLS”.

“Where's the REST of me?!?!" “Kings Row” was adapted from a much racier novel from 1940 and had to be sanitized quite a bit because of the Hays Code. They had to leave some pretty big elements out — homosexuality, mercy killings, incest, nymphomania — but even with that, the film still is very dark because of the issues it does deal with. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Black and White Cinematography of James Wong Howe series with Sam Wood's 1942 film “Kings Row.” We talk about the adaptation and what had to change in order for the producers to be given the green light, but what those changes meant for the film and how the added subtext really aids the film through today's eyes. We chat about the cast — Robert Cummings, Ann Sheridan, Claude Rains and Ronald Reagan in particular — and what each of them bring to the table (notably Reagan in what many call his best performance). We talk about Howe's great cinematography and what he adds to this dark story with a midwestern gothic style of shooting, giving this seemingly idyllic town at the turn of the last century a touch of noir. And we talk about Wood and his body of work, noting what we'd seen of his without realizing they were his films. It's a film that really took us both by surprise but one that worked well for us, particularly as a film from the 40s. Tune in!

They had to leave some pretty big elements out — homosexuality, mercy killings, incest, nymphomania — but even with that, the film still is very dark because of the issues it does deal with. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Black and White Cinematography of James Wong Howe series with Sam Wood's 1942 film “Kings Row.” We talk about the adaptation and what had to change in order for the producers to be given the green light, but what those changes meant for the film and how the added subtext really aids the film through today's eyes. We chat about the cast — Robert Cummings, Ann Sheridan, Claude Rains and Ronald Reagan in particular — and what each of them bring to the table (notably Reagan in what many call his best performance). We talk about Howe's great cinematography and what he adds to this dark story with a midwestern gothic style of shooting, giving this seemingly idyllic town at the turn of the last century a touch of noir. And we talk about Wood and his body of work, noting what we'd seen of his without realizing they were his films. It's a film that really took us both by surprise but one that worked well for us, particularly as a film from the 40s. Tune in!

Río de Plata es una película de 1948, dirigida por Raoul Walsh y protagonizada por Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan, Thomas Mitchell. Flynn interpreta a Mike McComb, jugador sin escrúpulos, egoísta y cínico, que cuando es expulsado del ejército decide convertirse en el mayor magnate de plata de Nevada. Su imperio empezará a caer cuando los demás mineros combinen sus esfuerzos contra él. Llegará a perder incluso el apoyo de su mujer y de sus viejos amigos. Se puede afirmar que Río de Plata es un falso western que utiliza el cineasta, para lanzar una dura crítica al sistema económico americano en función de sus mecanismos más deleznables. Entrevistamos a Juan Tejero, escritor, periodista y crítico de cine, y a Cecilia Picún, uruguaya, dueña una librería ubicada en Barcelona, pero especializada en literatura latinoamericana.
