The fifth and final TRUUD podcast explores the future of urban development and the necessary investments for creating healthier places. Host Andrew Kelly with experts Daniel Black, TRUUD Research Co-Director and Thomas Aubrey, Credit Capital Advisory, discuss the issue of short-termism in planning and the importance of long-term vision, drawing parallels with historical and European examples. They highlight the need for integrated planning that includes transport, green spaces, and social infrastructure alongside housing. The conversation examines methods for measuring the impact of urban development on health and the economy, introducing the HAUS model from TRUUD. Financing models, including land value capture, are considered crucial for delivering sustainable and high-quality urban environments. The podcast also touches on the significance of leadership, devolution, and community involvement in achieving these goals.Funded by the UK Prevention Research Partnership which aims to reduce non-communicable diseases such as cancers, type-2 diabetes, obesity, mental ill-health and respiratory illnesses, TRUUD is providing evidence and tools for policy-makers in government and industry.Find more at the TRUUD website: https://truud.ac.uk/ Books recommended in the episodeDaniel Black:The Death of Rural England by Alan Hawkins Small Is Beautiful by E.F.

O 14° ÁLBUM DE ED MOTTA, “BEHIND THE TEA CHRONICLES”, É ACLAMADO PELA CRÍTICA ESPECIALIZADA E ULTRAPASSA 550 MIL STREAMS EM SEU LANÇAMENTO A faixa “Deluxe Refuge” foi reproduzida no programa de rádio de Jamie Cullum, na BBC Radio 2 “‘Behind The Tea Chronicles' é a trilha sonora de um quadro de Edward Hopper, povoado por personagens de Nathanael West, com diálogos de Dashiell Hammett, dirigido por Michael Curtiz, e composta por... Hoagy Carmichael? Não. Por Ed Motta” - Ruy Castro Apresentado no último dia 20, o 14º álbum de estúdio de Ed Motta, “Behind The Tea Chronicles”, ultrapassou 551 mil streams em seu primeiro final de semana de lançamento no Spotify. O trabalho que nos faz cruzar fronteiras musicais e nos convida a ouvir não só canções soulful e groovy, mas também a mergulhar em climas quase cinematográficos também foi aclamado por publicações em países como França, Alemanha e Reino Unido. Suas faixas já fazem parte da programação de rádio do Japão e na França, enquanto o single “Deluxe Refuge” foi reproduzido no programa de rádio do Jamie Cullum, na BBC Radio 2. A tradicional loja de discos do Japão “Tower Records” apresentou um totem em tamanho real do artista. Reviews sobre o novo disco de Ed também já foram disponibilizados na mídia especializada do Reino Unido, Alemanha, Itália, França e Japão nas publicações: Jazz Magazine, Jazzwise, Jazzthetik, Jazzthing, Stereoplay, MINT Magazin, Kultur News e La Stampa. “Behind The Tea Chronicles” representa um marco significativo na trajetória artística de Ed. Essa obra-prima musical mostra sua habilidade única de criar melodias inesquecíveis e letras instigantes. Nesse disco, Ed se inspirou em séries de TV e filmes. “'Colombo', ‘Barnaby Jones' e ‘Streets of San Francisco' (no Brasil, ‘São Francisco Urgente') são as minhas séries favoritas. Mas também gosto da inglesa ‘Quatermass', a primeira série de ficção científica do mundo e produzida pela BBC, que foi uma inspiração direta para uma faixa do álbum”, diz Motta. “Também me inspirei em filmes antigos: especialmente o filme 'Gaslight', de George Cukor, e filmes de Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Melville e Basil Dearden, que são alguns dos meus diretores favoritos e me deram muitas ideias”. O trabalho apresenta uma impressionante formação de músicos ilustres, incluindo colaborações notáveis com artistas brasileiros e internacionais. Os famosos cantores Paulette McWilliams, uma experiente vocalista que participou do álbum "Off The Wall", de Michael Jackson, e Philip Ingram, irmão de James Ingram e membro fundador do grupo Switch, podem ser ouvidos como backing vocals, bem como a Orquestra Tcheca FILMharmonic. Além da música, Motta não é apenas um especialista em filmes e séries, mas também um conhecido expert quando o assunto é vinho, chá e cerveja. Escreveu colunas sobre vinhos e gastronomia e fez curadoria de cardápios de vinhos, cervejas e chás para o hotel paulistano Emiliano. Motta também manteve uma coluna online de vinhos para a principal revista semanal do Brasil, Veja, enquanto apresentava o programa de rádio “Empoeirado” para a Rádio Eldorado, de São Paulo, destacando e apresentando joias raras e obscuras de seu acervo de 30 mil discos. Sua música reflete justamente essa coleção que começou com os discos da mãe e ele expandiu ao longo dos anos.

S2E10 - The Music Business w/ All Night Long (1962) & King Creole (1958) Independent filmmaker Floyd Webb joins us once again for a pair of classic near-noirs that show that the music business was scammy and sleazy long before Spotify, but it was maybe a little cooler when you had Walter Matthau in a smoke-filled backroom plotting how to screw the talent. First, we've got Charles Mingus on bass, Dave Brubeck on keys and Patrick McGoohan from THE PRISONER (!) on drums--and he's really playing those drums--in ALL NIGHT LONG (1962), a jazzified retelling of Shakespeare's Othello from British director Basil Dearden. This movie's got jazz cigarettes, reefer madness, awesome mid-century modern set design and some amazing musical performances from Mingus, Brubeck, Tubby Hayes and John Dankworth. Then, our ELVIS EPISODE was unexpectedly the third most popular installment of OMFYS in June, so the King is back in KING CREOLE (1958), a musical New Orleans noir from the braintrust that brought us CASABLANCA--producer Hal Wallis and director Michael Curtiz. Joining Elvis are Walter Matthau as ruthless gangster Maxie Fields, Dean Jagger as Elvis' feckless father, film noir regular Paul Stewart as Maxie's rival, Vic Morrow as a street thug, future nun Dolores Hart as the good girl, and Morticia Addams herself Carloyn Jones as the hard-luck dame who hopes Elvis can help her go straight. All this plus some of the best songs of any Elvis movie. Floyd discusses his upcoming martial arts documentary, THE SEARCH FOR COUNT DANTE, that he's been working on for way too long now + some awesome screenings in Chicago that he has coming up. Find out more about Floyd and what he's got going on at https://floydwebb.com/ https://thesearchforcountdante.com Also featuring THE STRIKE TOK REPORT with PHILENA FRANKLIN, a rundown of reactions to the SAG AFTRA and WGA strikes on TikTok. Co-hosts: Bob Calhoun & Cory Sklar Greg Franklin is on assignment. Philena Franklin is on strike but will return for our public domain Halloween ep. ALL NIGHT LONG (1962) is currently streaming on Criterion Channel as part of their excellent British Noir series and it's also available for free with commercials on Tubi. KING CREOLE (1958) is part of Criterion Channel's Elvis series and it's available with ads on Pluto.

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! In celebration of Pride Month, Morgan and Jeannine are coming back over to British movies and talking a groundbreaking, outstanding and powerfully moving gay drama on this week's show, Basil Dearden's VICTIM (1961) starring Dirk Bogarde as a closeted lawyer in search of a blackmailer who is causing a great deal of trauma for the forcibly hidden gay community of London! Stylistically suspenseful and tense, it's boldness shines through at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in the UK, with a great deal of authenticity, compassion, and a demand for real world reformation!

It's Jazz, man. Also, it's Shakespeare.All Night Long (1962) is a re-telling of Shakespeare's Othello in which Othello is Rex, the famous leader of a jazz band, Desdemona is a singer called Delia and Iago is the band's drummer, Johnny.The film was directed by Basil Dearden and stars Patrick Mcgoohan and Richard Attenborough plus several major jazz stars of the day, including Tubby Hayes, Charles Mingus, Johnny Dankworth and Dave Brubeck.Film & theatre composer, Gary Yershon, returns to Soho Bites to talk about the film.Watch a trailer for All Night LongAnd look at these (badly colourised) lobby cardsOur other guest is a two time finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year competition, Saxophonist, Tom Smith.

Chris Diamond returns once again to examine one of Peter Sellers' most beloved earlier films, the 1957 Basil Dearden-directed The Smallest Show On Earth. As well as Sellers the film features winning turns from Margaret Rutherford, Bernard Miles and Francis De Wolff, with stolid support from the film's nominal stars, husband and wife Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna. Matthew & Jean Spenser inherit a crumbling old cinema - The Bijou Kinema (aka 'the fleapit') - and as well as the fixtures and fittings soon discover that they've also inherited a trio of elderly, shambling staff: Mrs Fazackalee (Rutherford), the cinema's cashier, bookkeeper and pit pianist; Mr Percy Quill (Sellers), a projectionist with a powerful thirst; and Old Tom (Miles), whose exact role is undefined but encompasses general caretaker and commissionaire duties. Meanwhile Mr Hardcastle (De Wolff), the owner of The Grand (the town's other cinema which far outclasses the Bijou in terms of size and sophistication), offers the couple a derisory sum to sell the Bijou to him so he can knock it down for a carpark. The Spensers decide to attempt to run the fleapit as a going concern, hoping this will persuade Hardcastle to up his offer. It's a wonderfully warm film with particularly delightful turns from Sellers and Rutherford and a rather surprising ending. Chris and Tyler talked so much that it's been split into two halves (part two next week) - in this first part we establish the characters, talk about the gradual decline in cinema attendance at the time, our memories of going to the pictures as kids and even spend a fair chunk talking about a different Sellers film: Heaven's Above!

It's Beau's week, so we're getting the party started with All Night Long (Dir. Basil Dearden), then go searching for gold in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Dir. John Huston).

It's Ian's week, and his picks took us to two strikingly different places and times with Downtown 81 (Dir. Edo Bertoglio) and Through a Glass Darkly (Dir. Ingmar Bergman). Coming attractions: All Night Long (Dir. Basil Dearden), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Dir. John Huston)

Believe it or not, I've been doing these reviews for over a year at this point and it's been lovely watching how much it's all grown. This originally started with me desperately wanting to review the Criterion Collection's The Complete Films of Agnès Varda boxset and it has grown into something I couldn't imagine. Over the past 12 months, this has gone from just the lovely folks over at Kino Lorber and the Criterion Collection to also working with other lovely folks over at Arrow Video, Fun City Editions, GKIDS, Code Red, MVD Entertainment, Synapse Films, and Cohen Film Collection to help bring awareness to the wide world of well-curated and pristinely-packed cinema you could experience from the comfort and safety of your home with no more than a TV and a Blu-ray player (no internet required). This started as a way to keep people engaged with repertory and arthouse titles while theaters were closed and tech companies continued to gobble up the scope of cinema, but it's now evolved into blog discovery and being intentional and passionate about cinema I consume. It's been great hearing all the feedback over the past 12 months and getting to hear from people who found this column by chance. I love doing it and I hope you guys still like listening to and reading it. So what better way to celebrate a one-year anniversary than with the addition of two new distributors! From the UK but bearing “All Region” gifts comes Imprint Films with its releases of Basil Dearden's penultimate film, The Assassination Bureau starring late greats Oliver Reed, Telly Savalas, and of course Diana Rigg, a romp about assassins who clearly don't understand there are more efficient ways to kill a person than bombs (more on that later). They also have released a handsome boxset containing both the 1951 Anthony Asquith/Michael Redgrave and 1994 Mike Figgis/Albert Finney adaptations of Terrence Rattigan's The Browning Version. Also making their debut is the long-awaited and oft-asked-for Vinegar Syndrome! We're starting off with their exclusive release of the very exciting reconstruction of the nearly lost and soon-to-be-cult-favorite New York Ninja. We also have our usual suspects with Kino Lorber giving us releases of director John G. Avildsen and composer Bill Conti's unlikely but welcome follow-up to Rocky, Slow Dancing in the Big City starring unlikely romantic lead Paul Sorvino. John Huston's Freud biopic starring Montgomery Clift and Susannah York makes a welcome appearance, which prompts me to once again think about what makes a biopic work artistically in the first place. There is also the season 1 release of Rod Serling's horror-tinged Twilight Zone follow-up Night Gallery. Arrow Video brings us two welcome releases for cinephiles who have their sights set on lesser-known Japanese genre cinema: Gamera director Noriaki Yuasa's adaptation of Kazuo Umezu's manga “Hebi shōjo (Snake Girl)” into a horror film aimed to traumatize children everywhere, The Snake Girl and the Silver Haired Witch, and there's also the genre-bending mash-up that is Shinji Somai's Sailor Suit and Machine Gun, which somehow threads the needle between quiet coming-of-age drama, yakuza movie, and Japanese “idol movie.” Finally, we have my pick of the month from Fun City Editions with their recent release of Christopher Petit's New German cinema-inspired and new wave-scored British road movie Radio On, a gem I hope won't remain hidden for long. After a year of doing this, I hope some of you have found something you've enjoyed that you would have otherwise missed or overlooked, and if you haven't yet, I hope this month can change that.

Aric and Marisa travel across the pond to explore the films of the United Kingdom, specifically during the '60s and with a little detour into the '90s. They look at how the perspectives of these films are shaped by the social and economical circumstances of everyday people, and how these perspectives have much to illuminate about today's prevalent issues.The six films this episode highlights are a mix of heavy hitters and tender stories of identity: SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING (1960), a Karel Reisz picture studying the attitude of a man who plays by the rules during the week, then lets loose on the weekends, VICTIM (1961), the suspenseful story of a man blackmailed by his homosexuality and his fight to be himself against the law, THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER (1962), a character study about a talented young runner who questions discipline and the authority behind it, THIS SPORTING LIFE (1963), a story of a man who wins everything except his unrequited love, THE LEATHER BOYS (1964), a film about a newlywed couple in crisis when the husband develops feelings for a member of a rival biker gang, and LIFE IS SWEET (1990), a Mike Leigh film about a working class family enduring the mundanities of life while hanging onto their personal dreams. Please consider supporting this show through our Patreon!Keep up with us on Instagram and Twitter: @filmchatterpod.Check out the films mentioned in this episode on our Letterboxd.Thanks for tuning in!Powered and distributed by Simplecast

Dead of Night is a 1945 black and white British anthology horror film, made by Ealing Studios, was their sole attempt at making a horror movie. It Featured the following storiesThe Hearse Driver, based on "The Bus-Conductor" by E. F. BensonThe Christmas PartyThe Haunted MirrorThe Golfer's Story, based on "The Story of the Inexperienced Ghost" by H. G. WellsandThe Ventriloquist's DummyThe individual segments were directed by by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer. The film is best remembered for the concluding story featuring Michael Redgrave and an insane ventriloquist's malevolent dummy.Dead of Night is a rare British horror film of the 1940s; horror films were banned from production in Britain during the war. It had an influence on subsequent British films in the genre. Both of John Baines' stories were reused for later films and the possessed ventriloquist dummy episode was adapted into the pilot episode of the long-running CBS radio series Escape.The circular plot of Dead of Night inspired Fred Hoyle's steady state model of the universe, developed in 1948.Mario Livio in Brilliant Blunders cites the impact of a viewing of Dead of Night had on astrophysicists Fred Hoyle, Hermann Bondi, and Thomas Gold. "Gold asked suddenly, "What if the universe is like that?' meaning that the universe could be eternally circling on itself without beginning or end. Unable to dismiss this conjecture, they started to think seriously of an unchanging universe, a steady state universe.In the early 2010s, Time Out conducted a poll with several authors, directors, actors and critics who have worked within the horror genre to vote for their top horror films. Dead of Night placed at number 35 on their top 100 list. Director Martin Scorsese placed Dead of Night 5th on his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time.Writer/director Christopher Smith was inspired by the circular narrative in Dead of Night when making his 2009 film Triangle.Something Horrific:Censorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRrhXjH1M70HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR The Mark of Satanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTKjizivKRUHelp my House is Hauntedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPpZOb0svC0$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$Just in case anyone has too much money and wants to give a bit to us to help with our hosting n stuff.

Summer is here and that means things are gonna wind down around here at the blog for the month of July, but I had one more round-up of Blu-rays to bring the people while we try and get some rest before the pandemonium of August brings us out of our sleep. This month, we're rollin' with Kino and Criterion to bring you an underseen “cops and robbers” film from across the pond with Basil Dearden's The Blue Lamp, while Criterion's on a welcomely humanist kick in June with their releasing of the seminal Seattle-set documentary about unhoused and abused youth Streetwise and its follow-up, Tiny: The Life of Erin Blackwell. Criterion has also finally brought Masaki Kobayashi's towering achievement, The Human Condition, to Blu-ray (about time!). We then wrap things up with some comedy double features in the form of Tamra Davis's cable staples CB4 and Half Baked and I talk about a couple of Mae West comedies with my *tries to think of something nice to say* great editor, Michaela Owens! We chat about My Little Chickadee and She Done Him Wrong, and get into what makes Mae West and her leading men so interesting. You can find more great writing on the IU Cinema Blog here

Harold Pelham encounters a duplicate of himself in the aftermath of a car crash. After that moment, his life becomes chaotic.

With Francine Stock Earl Cameron, who died earlier this year aged 102, was one of the pioneers of British cinema, one of the first black actors to get a starring role in a British movie. Francine spoke to Earl in 2009, just after he'd been awarded the CBE, and he revealed how he entered show business almost by accident, about the racism he encountered during the war and why he didn't think BAME actors received the recognition they deserved in the British film industry. Earl's debut was the thriller The Pool Of London, and Francine also hears archive of his co-star Leslie Phillips, and from James Dearden and Simon Relph, the sons of the producing and directing team Basil Dearden and Michael Relph.

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism. Episode 064 – Violent Playground (1958) Another in our series of movies that influenced the British New Wave Cinema movement. Another fine example of the ‘social problem’ movie directed by the master himself, Basil Dearden. Highlighting the dangerous world of the newly-born ‘teenagers’, we present Violent Playground from 1958 starring Stanley Baker, David McCallum and Peter Cushing. Sgt. Truman (Stanley Baker), a policeman who deals with juvenile delinquents, visits the Murphy household after a theft by the young twins, Mary and Patrick. There he meets their older sister, Cathie (Anne Heywood), and soon begins a romantic involvement with her. However, Cathie's brother, Johnnie (David McCallum), is the leader of an infamous local gang, and doesn't like to see his sister with a cop. Gradually, Truman starts to see a link between Johnnie and a string of local arsons. “Every city has its dangerous youth. Stark, explosive drama – as the camera lays bare the heart of a big city and probe the secrets of its violent youth”   You can find this and all of our previous episodes at: Apple Podcasts Libsyn Player FM Podtail Owltail ListenNotes Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod Join us over at our Facebook Group ….we’d love to chat with you email: reelbritannia@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott and Steven

Dans la vie d'un long-métrage, de nombreux intervenants de l'ombre influent sur sa création et sa visibilité.

The late Sir Roger Moore has named his performance as Harold Pelham (and his doppelgänger) in The Man Who Haunted Himself as his career-favorite. The Lab commemorates Moore by analysing the film. / (1970). Directed by Basil Dearden. Starring Roger Moore, Hildegard Neil, Freddie Jones, Olga Georges-Picot.

The 1970 Basil Dearden film "The Man Who Haunted Himself" was one of Roger Moore's last big films before playing James Bond. It is a very strange film about a man who appears to have someone stealing his identity. An alternate title for the film could have been "It's All So Frightfully Queer" given the tone and posh idiom of every conversation. Richard delights in Roger Moore's peak-poshness while Jonathan finds comparisons in spoiler-filled discussions of recent films Enemy (2013), The Double (2013) and The Prestige (2006). They conclude with an update on the next Bond film and new directions for our humble podcast.

Simon McCallum, programmer of the BFI's Gross Indecency season, introduces Victim, the 1961 film, starring Dirk Bogarde, that was a mainstream crime thriller unlike any other. The first English-language film to use the word "homosexual", Victim was a campaigning work, calling for an end to legislation that made homosexual relationships illegal and left thousands of men vulnerable to blackmail. Here Simon takes us through the making of the film and talks about the bravery of its star, a gay man who chose not to reveal his sexuality, but still to take a stand.The British Film Institute's podcast is an audio adventure through the BFI's archives.

Dario is joined by film lecturer Douglas McNaughton at the Electric Palace to screen Basil Dearden's profound drama Victim (1961), starring the magnetic Dirk Bogarde and the superb Sylvia Sims. In many ways a film ahead of its time dealing with the social implications of homosexuality in a time when it was still illegal and a taboo subject. On its release in the United Kingdom it proved highly controversial to the British Board of Film Censors, and in the U.S. it was refused a seal of approval from the American Motion Picture Production Code. Dario also speaks to writer and podcaster David Blakeslee who has written about the film for his Criterion Cast blog.

Finally…..it’s time for episode 20 of See Hear Podcast. The crew apologises for missing out on presenting a film discussion for your aural pleasure during August. However, for those of you who missed hearing our ramblings, we attempt to make up for that by giving you discussion on TWO films for September instead of our usual one. Both films are requests from listeners. First up, we discuss Cameron Towler’s request of a film from 1962. “All Night Long” is director Basil Dearden’s take on Shakespeare’s “Othello” as transplanted to (then)modern day England. All appears to be well as Aurelius Rex and Delia Lane celebrate their first wedding anniversary with their jazz musician friends. He’s a pianist and bandleader and she’s a retired singer. Evil drummer  (I didn’t know there was such a thing) Johnny Cousin plots to put a wedge between them to secure Delia for his new band. Featuring music performed by the likes of John Dankworth, Charles Mingus and Dave Brubeck, this film takes a creative spin on the bard’s tragedy. Next, we discuss Brie Edwards’ request of 2004’s documentary “Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways”. The history of rock is littered with bands who have been dealt with poorly by management and labels. What makes The Runaways’ tale even sadder is they were all teenagers in the care of Kim Fowley, a sleazy manager who, admittedly got them success, but at a great cost emotionally. The documentary is directed by their second bassist Vicky  Tischler-Blue. We discuss her approach to the actual making of the film, as well as the events themselves. Bernie, Tim and myself would also like to say thanks to Wendi for being part of the crew. Doing two other podcasts (check ‘em out – Double Page Spread and The Trashy Trio) as well as a multitude of other things meant that she was feeling a little burned out, and she has decided to leave See Hear. We will miss her, but respect her wish to give herself some breathing space. If you dig what we do, could you please rate us at iTunes or even better, spread the word that the show exists so more folks can tune in.
