In this Universal 1934 Studios Year by Year episode, we discuss the original There's Always Tomorrow, starring Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes (remade by Douglas Sirk in the 50s with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck) and the bizarre Claude Rains vehicle The Man Who Reclaimed His Head. The middle-class American nuclear families of the 30s and 50s curiously converge, and future Hollywood Ten screenwriter Samuel Ornitz tries to reclaim his mind from the studio heads (or so we irresponsibly conjecture). And in Fear and Moviegoing, we briefly discuss Bitter Rice, a feminist/Marxist/crime/erotic/neorealist melodrama directed by Giuseppe De Santis.

Only 3 BaaM episodes left, and now it's getting classy…dangerous classy. Local film enthusiast and cheerleader Heidi Hovda finally pulls up and programs a double feature straight outta the early-40s screwball playbook: The Philadelphia Story and Ball of Fire. We start things proper—popping champagne alongside The Philadelphia Story like we've got Cary Grant money—and then slide into a 2024 Bourbon County Vanilla Rye Brand Stout in an attempt to compete with the heat of Ball of Fire. Expect rapid-fire 40s slang, high society burns, and enough verbal gymnastics to make Jimmy Stewart stutter and Gary Cooper lean back and nod. And make no mistake—Heidi brings the Barbara Stanwyck energy. The real question: can Joe and Dave keep up? Or are they about to get left at the train station holding the luggage while Heidi runs the whole picture? Three episodes left. No fillers. All killers.
Paul and Chris return to the pod to bring their expertise on classic Hollywood. In 1934, Will Hays, then the president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, began strenuously enforcing the Production Code. This code was a guideline used to determine what films could depict on screen and the behavior of characters. These included drug use, promiscuity, and yes, homosexuality. Despite limiting these things, it inspired creative filmmakers to work around the code and find new and clever ways to challenge it. The films we chose, She Done Him Wrong and Baby Face were each released in 1933, and a case could be made that they led to stricter enforcement of the code. Baby Face stars Barbara Stanwyck as Lily, a woman who escapes her evil father and makes her way in the city, quite literally sleeping her way to the top of high society. She Done Him Wrong is based on Mae West's own play, and she plays a nightclub owner who must contend with a jealous ex who escapes from prison, and a young Cary Grant, a police captain.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo comentan asuntos de la actualidad y traen las mejores recomendaciones culturales. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: El Supremo frena el plan urbanístico de las Cocheras de Cuatro Caminos Un proyecto de construcción residencial en el que 443 familias cooperativistas llevan desde 2014 esperando a que se construyan sus casas. El denominado Parque Metro Cuatro Caminos está ubicado dentro del distrito de Chamberí, junto a la avenida de Reina Victoria, en los terrenos que alojaban las cocheras de Metro, las cuales fueron demolidas en 2021. La Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo del Alto Tribunal ha desestimado el recurso que plantearon la Comunidad de Madrid, el Ayuntamiento de la capital, Metro de Madrid y la cooperativa Residencial Metropolitan para construir más de 400 viviendas con zonas verdes y una torre de 100 metros. El fallo, fechado el 11 de febrero , confirma íntegramente la sentencia del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Madrid (TSJM) del 9 de mayo de 2025, que ya había anulado la Modificación Puntual del Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) aprobada por el equipo del alcalde José Luis Martínez-Almeida. Esta sentencia del Supremo anula así el acuerdo del Consejo de Gobierno regional que daba luz verde al plan urbanístico del Ayuntamiento para construir estas viviendas. Así, da la razón a Ecologistas en Acción y a la asociación Madrid Ciudadanía y Patrimonio, las cuales habían recurrido ese acuerdo apelando al daño cultural y ambiental que se ocasionaría sobre dicho terreno perteneciente a las antiguas cocheras de Metro. Entrevistamos a Desirée del Río, integrante y portavoz de la Cooperativa Residencial Metropolitan. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre "Juan Nadie" (Meet John Doe). Comedia dramática estadounidense de 1941 dirigida y producida por Frank Capra y protagonizada por Gary Cooper y Barbara Stanwyck. Narra la historia de un vagabundo que se convierte en una relevante figura de opinión debido a las maquinaciones de una joven periodista y un empresario con ambiciones políticas. Cuando dicho poderoso empresario compra un periódico y despide a casi todo el personal que allí trabajaba, una audaz periodista, llamada Ann, decide publicar en su último artículo una carta falsa en la que se anuncia el suicidio de uno de los empleados despedidos la cual firma con el nombre de Juan Nadie. El éxito del artículo es tal, que el periódico decide buscar un Juan Nadie. Para ello, contrata a un vagabundo que acaba convirtiéndose en un personaje muy popular. No está solo en esta aventura, ya que su mejor amigo le recordará las cosas que de verdad son importantes en la vida. Cuando el protagonista descubre de qué juego está siendo víctima, piensa en suicidarse ante sus seguidores.

Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageHollywood icon Robert Wagner (known as “RJ”) joins host Kevin Goetz for an intimate, wide-ranging conversation about his life and career. From caddying alongside Clark Gable and Cary Grant to starring opposite Spencer Tracy. From the golden age of the studio system to reinventing himself as a television star, Wagner reflects on the journey that made him one of Hollywood's most enduring figures, later delighting a new generation of audiences as Number 2 in the Austin Powers films. He also reflects on his personal life, including his marriage to actress Natalie Wood, and the family and friendships that shaped him, including his wife of nearly four decades, Jill St. John.Caddying for Legends (06:21): Wagner recounts his early days as a caddy, where he found himself watching Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, and Randolph Scott walk down the fairway.Marilyn Monroe and Screen Tests (09:22): As Fox's go-to "screen test guy," Wagner did Marilyn Monroe's first two tests. His own breakthrough came when Zanuck cast him as a shell-shocked soldier in With a Song in My Heart.Spencer Tracy as Mentor (14:49): Working alongside Tracy in Broken Lance, Wagner earned the older actor's respect and friendship.Advice from Cary Grant (18:07): When Wagner was preparing to play a thief for It Takes a Thief, he went to Grant for guidance. Years later he would become a television icon again opposite Stefanie Powers in Hart to Hart.Lou Wasserman and the Move to Television 18:41): At a time when television was considered beneath film stars, Lew Wasserman called Wagner in and told him, "I think this is your medium."Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Davis (22:43): Wagner speaks warmly about his three-year relationship with Barbara Stanwyck. He also recalls reaching out to Bette Davis after she publicly praised his work.John Ford Knocks Him Down…Literally (26:39): On the set of a John Ford film, Wagner followed a script direction and glanced toward where music was playing. Ford stopped the scene, questioned him, and knocked him down.Pink Panther (29:21): When the studio system collapsed, and Fox dropped its contract players, Wagner moved to Rome and worked on The Pink Panther, his all-time favorite film.Jill St. John, Family, and Friends (36:16): In one of the episode's most moving moments, Wagner reflects on the profound role friends and family have played in his life.Few careers in Hollywood history span as many eras, genres, or legends as Robert Wagner's, and fewer still have been lived with such grace.

This week, I discuss the most well-known and reviled femme fatale in film history: Phyllis Dietrichson, played by one of the most respected and beloved actresses in American film: Barbara Stanwyck. This episode was originally aired as part of my American Trash and National Treasures series. The video version is in reverence to the Double Indemnity house and in celebration of my upcoming move near it. The 1944 film noir Double Indemnity is one of the shiniest, most monied film noirs produced in its time. The film is based on James M. Cain's book of the same name. The story itself is inspired by a true crime that is so American it smells like apple pie and fresh blood. This and every episode of Window Dressing is written, performed, researched, costumed, styled, and filmed by Madelaine Jane Auble

EPISODE 121 - “RICHARD BASEHART: CLASSIC STAR OF THE MONTH” - 1/05/2026 RICHARD BASEHART wasn't the flashiest of actors, but he certainly was one of the most versatile. He always brought such haunting depth and emotional intensity to his roles, often portraying characters teetering on the edge of psychological turmoil. With his piercing blue eyes and floppy blonde hair, his sensitive, brooding presence gave him the appearance of an erudite or a poet. And that voice! He had a fantastic baritone voice that could convey both vulnerability and menace. He really excelled at playing sensitive, troubled men—sometimes deeply introspective, other times psychotic or dangerously unhinged. From his chilling portrayal of the deranged killer in “He Walked by Night” (1948) to the tormented clown in FEDERICO FELLINI's “La Strada” (1954), Basehart always infused each performance with a profound humanity, sensitivity, and quiet strength, making him one of the most compelling and underrated actors of his generation. This week we honor him as our January Star of the Month.

We're headed across the country as we look at the surprisingly illegal romance of 1940's Remember the Night, the last film written by Preston Sturges before he became a director. Join in as we discuss this first pairing of Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, the sinister setup with Fat Mike, the film's ironically forgettable title, and ruffled undergarments of the early 1900s. Plus: How did this film drive Sturges to become a director? Why would Jack take this accused thief across multiple state lines? Why would anyone steal lug nuts off a car? And, most importantly, what punishment would Stanwyck consider appropriate for her character? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Guest is Mark Chenoweth, president and chief legal officer of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, to discuss the oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Monday, Dec. 8, in Trump v. Slaughter, an important case about the constitutional authority of the president over the so-called “independent” agencies like the Federal Trade Commission set up by Congress. For the Christmas season, classic movie review of the 1945 film, “Christmas in Connecticut,” a romantic comedy starring Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, and Sydney Greenstreet.
After you hear Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck recreate their famous roles on The Lux Radio Theatre, enjoy this bit of "what if" alternate Hollywood casting of the film. Burt Lancaster, Joan Bennett, and Myron McCormick play Walter Neff, Phyllis Dietrichson, and Barton Keyes in an adaptation of Double Indemnity from The Ford Theater (originally aired on CBS on October 15, 1948).
"Noirvember" draws to a close with the cast of Double Indemnity - Billy Wilder's genre-defining adaptation of James M. Cain's novel. It's a twisted tale of greed, lust, and revenge with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, and Edward G. Robinson, and we'll hear each of them in an old time radio thriller courtesy of Suspense. Robinson invents a spouse to get ahead at work with unexpected results in "My Wife Geraldine" (originally aired on CBS on March 1, 1945). Ms. Stanwyck is a tough dame whose connection to a murder puts her own life in danger in "The Wages of Sin" (originally aired on CBS on October 19, 1950). And MacMurray is a jazz player in a Prohibition-era tale of the mob and murder - "The Windy City Six" (originally aired on CBS on February 8, 1951). Then, Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck recreate their film roles in a production of The Lux Radio Theatre (originally aired on CBS on October 30, 1950).
On this edition of Scene Missing,I'm joined by filmmaker/artist Gabriel Hardman and writer/critic Ian Brill for a sharp, no-nonsense look at the 1946 noir classic The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. We dig into the film's ruthless psychology, its tangled relationships, and how the performances from Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, a young Kirk Douglas, and Lizabeth Scott still punch hard today. Hardman breaks down the visual language and shadow work that make the film so uniquely tense, while Brill dives into the screenplay's moral ambiguity and the twisted power dynamics at its core. From the opening “accident” that sets everything in motion to the film's bleak, pressure-cooker finale, this is a deep, character-driven postmortem of a noir that doesn't get enough modern attention. Perfect for fans of classic Hollywood, noir obsessives, and anyone who loves watching a great movie picked apart by smart people who know how the machine works.
EPISODE 113 - “BIG STAR, SMALL SCREEN - A CONVERSATION WITH FRONT ROW CLASSICS' BRANDON DAVIS” - 11/10/25 In the early days of television, many classic film actors were hesitant—or even outright refused—to appear on TV for a multitude of reasons. Many thought that TV was low-brow. Others thought they would get overexposed and it would somehow diminish their box-office power. Slowly stars like LORETTA YOUNG, BARBARA STANWYCK, ROBERT MONTGOMERY, and LUCILLE BALL figured out that TV could enhance and elongate their popularity and appeal. Slowly, classic stars began to pop up on the boob-tube. Joining us this week is BRANDON DAVIS, host extraordinaire of the fantastic podcast Front Row Classics, who will discuss the migration of classic film stars to the small screen and how it affected their popularity and careers. You haven't lived until you've seen IDA LUPINO doing her best “Norma Desmond” on an episode of “Charlie's Angels” in 1977. SHOW NOTES: Sources: Columbo: The Series (2017), by Scott V.

EPISODE 108 - “HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY: GLENN FORD & ELEANOR POWELL, REMEMBERED BY SON PETER FORD” - 10/06/25 PETER FORD was born into Hollywood royalty. As the son of MGM dancing sensation ELEANOR POWELL, and rugged leading man GLENN FORD, he was born into a world stat few can imagine. He lived in a mansion in Beverly Hills with a staff of 8. He called RITA HAYWORTH “Aunt Rita,” was babysat by JAMES MASON, had his first martini (at 10!) thanks to FRITZ LANG, and often had luminaries like HENRY FONDA, BARBARA STANWYCK, and CLARK GABLE at his dining room table. Peter once wrote, “I was sent by Central Casting to play the role of the perfect Hollywood son in this idyllic world of make-believe. I was great and performed flawlessly. It was hard work but I was underpaid!” Join us as Peter offers a fascinating, honest, and informative discussion of his loving, but complicated relationship with his parents, and what it was like to grow up surrounded by icons.

EPISODE 107 - “SUSAN PETERS: A CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD TRAGEDY” - 9/29/25 SUSAN PETERS was a rising star in Hollywood's Golden Age, a gifted actress whose poise, talent, and beauty quickly earned her critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination. With a promising career ahead of her, she seemed destined for lasting stardom—until a devastating accident abruptly changed everything, marking the beginning of a long, painful decline. Her story is one of both brilliance and heartbreak, a portrait of a woman whose strength and grace were ultimately no match for the crushing weight of physical and emotional suffering.

Unfortunately, our episode on "The Apartment" has to be postponed until next year. Our apologioes for that. Fortunately, author John Zukowski was able to step in at the last minute and introduce a new Christmas gem to us, "Remember The Night," a film starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray that pretty much set the template for many Christmas romances to come. The first (but certainly not the last) of its kind, "Remember The Night" fits in perfectly with our last two episodes that touched on Christmas romance movies that have real wit and class, with a touch of melancholia to ground them. This is a film well worth discovering if you get the chance; hilarious and heartfelt, with a truly memorable ending.

It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
I'm not gonna lie–this episode hit deep. Bradley Richardson and I recorded this one for both our audiences, and it turned into the realest talk I've had in a while. We peeled back the polish and got straight into the messy middle of work, life, and what we all do to survive this stage of midlife.If you've ever been laid off, cut off by your work “family,” or fed up with the BS around personal branding, you're in good company. Bradley and I unpack what really happens behind hiring decisions (spoiler: hard work doesn't always pay off), how social media is frying our nervous systems, and why entrepreneurship isn't all beach retreats and flowy bathrobes.We also get vulnerable about adult friendships – the kind that fade, the ones that surprise you, and the painful truth that growth sometimes means outgrowing people. Bradley shares a brutally honest moment with his son that I won't forget, and I talk about finally taking off the mask after decades of trying to do things “right.”So if you're feeling behind, off-track, or just bone-tired of pretending you've got it all figured out, this one's for you. Come hang with us, and let's say the quiet part out loud.Listen now, and send that text to a friend you miss. If this episode resonates, send it to them too!“I think the greatest cure for loneliness for people in midlife is actually getting out of your comfort zone, as uncomfortable as it is, and making that first move.” ~ Bradley RichardsonIn This Episode:-Why job loyalty is a myth and what really happens behind closed doors-How ageism shows up in hiring and the subtle ways older workers get sidelined-What the future of work actually looks like-Why adult friendships are so hard (and so vital)-How to stop living by someone else's rulebookAnd much more!Resources:-The Great Man's Lady - a 1941 film starring Barbara Stanwyck.
