EPISODE 23 - “I Coulda Been a Contender: Classic Casting That Almost Happened” - 02/19/2024 It is well documented that the film “Gone With The Wind” started filming before an actress was cast in the lead role of Scarlett O'Hara. Producer DAVID O. SELZNICK made a spectacle out of who would win the coveted role. It became a national obsession. He considered everyone from TALLULAH BANKHEAD to BETTE DAVIS to LUCILLE BALL. He eventually narrowed the field to three finalists: PAULETTE GODDARD, JOAN BENNETT, and JEAN ARTHUR. But in the eleventh hour, a new contender, an unknown Brit named VIVIEN LEIGH, swept in and won the role. Listen as we discuss, debate, and guffaw over other casting choices that almost happened in some of your favorite film classics.

In this episode, we talk with entertainer Ginger Pauley about the 1933 pre-code musical 42nd Street. We talk about the music choreography, plot, and the beautiful ladies in it (Ruby Keeler, Bebe Daniels, Ginger Rogers, Una Merkel, and Toby Wing). We also explore the pre-code aspect of the film as it contains much innuendo. Ginger is the host of Vintage America with Ginger. She also is a retro singer with the musical band Ginger and the Hoosier Daddys. She has been in films with big names such as Jim Carrey. She was a regular performer on Conan O'Brien's show. We are glad to talk with her for a fifth time on the show. Click and listen! It's a lot of fun.
Harken! The mountain's four wise men/women left the summit to discuss Lloyd Bacon's __42nd Street_! Released in 1933, the film stars Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent, and many others. It was filmed in the United States and was distributed by Warner Bros.! Enjoy your bi-weekly trip to Shaolin.
Cine en la Fundación: Los orígenes del cine musical (IX). Presentación de "La calle 42" (1933) de Lloyd Bacon. Javier Ocaña. La calle 42 (Forty Second Street, 1933, EE. UU.) de Lloyd Bacon, con Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, Ruby Keeler y Dick Powell (85') El productor musical Julian Marsh, en horas bajas tanto económica como personalmente, decide montar un último espectáculo antes de retirarse. Los problemas empiezan cuando queda claro que la financiación de la obra depende no solo de la presencia de la actriz Dorothy Brock, sino también de su interés amoroso por uno de los productores. Con el sonido, llegó al cine el musical. La calle 42 es uno de los primeros exponentes del género, pero su importancia va mucho más allá de su condición pionera: las poderosas coreografías de Busby Berkeley, filmadas con exquisito sentido de la plasticidad, apuntarían las enormes posibilidades de un cine basado en la música y el movimiento.

This is the Tranquillusionist, in which I, Helen Zaltzman, read all the salads from the 1950 recipe book 282 Ways of Making a Salad, with Favourite Recipes by British and American Personalities and Stars by Bebe Daniels and Jill Algood, with the purpose of giving your internal monologue a break by replacing it with some absolutely inconsequential words.

First isn't necessarily the worst, but it's certainly not the best.Coming out just a year after Dashiell Hammett published his unforgettable novel, The Maltese Falcon is a 1931 pre-Code crime film directed by Roy Del Ruth.Ricardo Cortez plays private investigator Sam Spade, and Bebe Daniels is the femme fatale and podcast heiress Ruth Wonderly. Spade and the dame are just two rough characters mixed up in the scramble for the priceless avian statue that the film is named for. Listen to birds-of-a-feather Áine and Kevin squawk about apes, un-intimidating villains, and drunken sailors. All in all, this movie gets a lot right, but fails to soar like the classic Bogart film.Follow us on the usual social media suspects:FacebookTwitterInstagramAnd send us mysterious and intriguing missives at mysterytomepodcast@gmail.com.
We start with two versions of the same song. Ted Heath and his music gives us an instrumental version of Mountain Greenery and then Mel Torme sings the definitive version of the song. Not forgotten Mel but is not celebrated enough. He was bizarrely known as The Velvet Frog. Fantastic lyrics from Lorenz Hart- 'How-how-how-how-how we love sequestering..' What's not to love there? Classics from Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, The Andrew Sisters and our old friend Leslie Hutchinson, Hutch. We have both sides of a Charlie Barnet record- Pumpton Turnpike and Swinging on Nothing. Charlie was one of the first band leaders to integrated his band. Massive fan of Basie and Ellington. Oscar Rabin plays a great version of Cherokee. He was a Latvian born English band leader. Sentimental Journey from Paul Fenoulhet, vocals Doreen Lundy Slightly mad track from Bill Snyder, Drifting Sands, vocals by Ralph Stirling. Our oldest track is Driftwood from Leo F Reisman from 1924. Bebe Daniels sings Imagination. She was an all round entertainer but is best remembered in Britain as being in the long running radio series Life with the Lyons, with husband Ben Lyon. Archie Lewis is a new discovery for me. Known as the Crosby of the Caribbean. He was one of the first black singers to front a big band in Britain, Geraldo's band. A pioneer and very popular in the 1940s and yet forgotten now it would seem. We get romantic with our last two. Roy Fox with vocals by Denny Dennis On the beach at Bali Bali and Carroll Gibbons, vocals by Leslie Douglas gives us I don't want to set the world on fire. Lovely version of a classic song. Stay safe out there. Thanks to Jessica Parkman for many of the records in this episode
It's an odd but energetic start with Alma Cogan, the girl with a giggle in her voice. Here she sings about Lizzie Borden, the girl with an axe in her hand! Lena Horne, when she was still a big band vocalist, Connie Boswell and Barbara Lyon. She was the daughter of Ben Lyon and Bebe Daniels, the US stars who made it big in Britain. Paula Green and her Orchestra. Paula sang with Joe Loss and Glenn Miller and was born in blackpool, Lancashire. Also appeared on the WW2 show ITMA. French star Jean Sablon, you get variety here. Talking of which: Bob Hamilton Trio, 'Dinner music for hungry canibals' and Hobo Jack- real name Ernie Hare. He wasn't a hobo but a very well paid radio star. The amazing voices of Paul Robeson and Josh White. Two men who weren't just fine singers but activists.There's more of course.
The first film version of the Dashiell Hammett novel, starring Bebe Daniels, Ricardo Cortez, and Una Merkel is almost as good as the famous 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon (1931). SPREAD THE WORD!
