En este episodio recordamos que hace 60 años se estrenaba una de las mejores radiografías sobre el fracaso matrimonial que nos ha mostrado el cine como es “¿Quién teme a Virginia Woolf?”, la película dirigida por Mike Nichols y protagonizada por Elizaberth Taylor y Richard Burton. Y hace 120 años también venía al mundo el gran Billy Wilder al que hemos dedicado esta semana el capítulo de nuestra “Enciclopedia curiosa del cine”. Charlamos con el director Sergio Oskman sobre películas de terror y en nuestra sección de cine de aventuras viajamos en una alfombra mágica a un mundo de fantasía y exotismo oriental con “El ladrón de Bagdad”.

A timeless classic about a young screenwriter (William Holden) who becomes involved with a former film star from the silent era (Gloria Swanson) who delusionally believes she's ready for a career comeback. Co-starring Erich von Stroheim and Nancy Olson. Co-written and directed by Billy Wilder.

Dana and Tom discuss Ace in the Hole (1951) for its 75th anniversary: written and directed by Billy Wilder with Lesser Samuels and Walter Newman, cinematography by Charles Lang, music by Hugo Friedhofer, editing by Doane Harrison and Arthur P. Schmidt, starring Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling, and Porter Hall.Plot Summary: Meet Chuck Tatum — a fast-talking, down-on-his-luck newspaper reporter played by Kirk Douglas. After burning bridges at every big-city paper in the country, he ends up stranded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, working for a small-town daily and waiting for his big break.Then one day, fate drops a story right in his lap. A local man named Leo Minosa gets trapped inside a collapsed mine shaft. Instead of calling for a quick rescue, Tatum sees an opportunity. He cuts a deal with a corrupt sheriff, engineers a longer — and far more dangerous — rescue operation, and turns the whole ordeal into a national media spectacle. Crowds pour in. Carnival rides go up. The story is everywhere.But the longer the rescue drags on, the worse Leo's condition becomes. And Tatum, who started this as pure ambition, begins to realize what he's actually done.Chapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for Ace in the Hole02:37 Our Missing Guest03:34 Initial Reactions to Ace in the Hole08:42 Billy Wilder's Most Cynical Film?11:34 Kirk Douglas' Best Performance?14:32 Plot Summary for Ace in the Hole15:46 What is Ace in the Hole About?21:57 Did You Know?24:27 First Break25:04 GMOAT Hall of Fame - June 202633:51 Best Performance(s)38:42 Best Scene(s)43:11 Second Break43:49 In Memoriam46:25 Best Lines47:50 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy50:12 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance53:28 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty56:05 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:00:07 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:01:39 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:03:33 Remaining Questions for Ace in the Hole01:05:01 Final Thoughts01:08:54 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/ace-in-the-hole-1951For the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Billy Wilder, Ace in the Hole, media critique, film analysis, media sensationalism, film legacy, film impact, classic cinema, media ethics, film discussion, Kirk Douglas, Hugo Friedhofer, journalism, media, circusRonny Duncan Studios

Michelle is back, after she and Jason finished their epic watch of Billy Wilder films -- make sure to go back and listen to their rating list of Wilder movies if you haven't heard it yet!So it was time to start a look at a new director for this pod, and who better than Michelle's all time favorite director, Douglas Sirk? Jason has enjoyed some of Sirk's melodramas, but never took the time to sit down and watch them systematically. So this is the perfect time to begin discussing the master's film work.Sirk made movies going back to the silent era, but began making his mark in Hollywood with a series of post-War noirs. So Michelle and Jason thought this a perfect time to go back and watch those noirs, to help assess whether they're truly worthy of his longterm reputation or don't measure up to his true classics.

In our discussion of the Film Noir Classic Double Indemnity we talk Nazis, German Expressionism, women in the workplace, censorship, femme fatales, anti-heroes, wigs, a turning point of American culture, and drive through bars. Y'know, the regular stuff. This episode was originally released on July 12, 2021 I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa Double Indemnity is a 1944 American psychological thriller film noir directed by Billy Wilder, co-written by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, and produced by Buddy DeSylva and Joseph Sistrom. The screenplay was based on James M. Cain's 1943 novel of the same name, which originally appeared as an eight-part serial in Liberty magazine, beginning in February 1936. The film stars Fred MacMurray as an insurance salesman, Barbara Stanwyck as a provocative housewife who wishes her husband were dead, and Edward G. Robinson as a claims adjuster whose job is to find phony claims. The term "double indemnity" refers to a clause in certain life insurance policies that doubles the payout in rare cases when the death is accidental.

Dedicamos dos horas y media al cineasta Billy Wilder o, como decía Fernando Trueba, Dios. El guionista y director de cine ha marcado la historia de la cultura universal con películas como 'Con faldas y a lo loco', 'El apartamento' o 'El crepúsculo de los dioses'. Luis Alegre y Fernando Trueba visitan el programa para hablar de Wilder, a raíz de la publicación de 'BILLY WILDER: ANATOMÍA DE UN GENIO', capitaneado por Alegre. En esta conversación, Trueba cuenta cómo fue su estrecha relación con Billy Wilder, las conversaciones, el día que le dedicó el Oscar por Belle Epoque o la entrevista que le hizo para El País en 1991 donde el director contó una anécdota inédita de Ava Gardner. Guillermo Balmori nos contó cómo fue su vida, desde su nacimiento en Sucha, antiguo Imperio astrohúngaro, su llegada a Hollywood o sus amistades con actores como Jack Lemmon. 

Rewind. Sandy and Terry will discuss Billy Wilder's 10 tips for screenwriters. Few screenwriters are as pedigreed as Billy Wilder, who is renowned as one of the most creative filmmakers of American cinema's Golden Age. Wilder was nominated 21 times at the Academy Awards, 13 for screenwriting and 8 for direction. He won the Best Director award for his 1945 film "The Lost Weekend" and again 15 years later for "The Apartment." Thanks to the success of "The Apartment," Wilder became the first person to win an Academy Award as a producer, director, and screenwriter for the same movie. Cameron Crowe said, “There's no better film school than listening to what Billy Wilder says.”The PAGE International Screenwriting Awards sponsors the WRITERS' HANGOUT.Executive Producer Kristin OvernCreator/Producer Sandy AdomaitisProducer Terry SampsonMusic by Ethan Stoller

What are the greatest space movies of all time? On this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns count down their personal Top 5 space-themed movies, debating the sci-fi classics, blockbuster adventures and cinematic experiences that best capture the mystery, danger and spectacle of outer space. Before the countdown, Lance and Tyler recap what they watched over the weekend. Tyler shares his thoughts on the new theatrical Star Wars adventure, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and whether seeing Din Djarin and Grogu on the big screen brings the franchise back to the fundamentals that made it special. He also reviews the horror movie Passenger and explains why its pacing and repeated jump scares missed the mark. Lance discusses Billy Wilder's film noir classic Double Indemnity, revisits the Academy Award-winning Amadeus, and breaks down Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, the documentary about Francis Ford Coppola's chaotic production of Apocalypse Now. Plus, a harmless night watching Homeland somehow ends with red wine in Maddie's eyes. Then it is time for the main event: Lance and Tyler each reveal their Top 5 movies set in space. Which films made the cut? Which selections caused the biggest debate? And did they agree on the number one space movie ever made?

Talkin' Billy Wilder's classic film with Katie Hogan

Aging stardom, delusion, ambition, and the ruthless machinery of Hollywood collide in Billy Wilder's Sunset Blvd, one of cinema's most haunting masterpieces. In this episode, me and my guest Beau, dive deep into the shadowy world of Norma Desmond — the forgotten silent‑film icon whose hunger for relevance spirals into obsession — and Joe Gillis, the struggling screenwriter who becomes trapped in her gilded cage. We also talk about all sorts of other stuff, too!Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.comFollow Beau on InstagramFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

Which of his masterpieces are best? And which are the mid-tier must-watches? Come listen and offer us your ratings in comments!

Billy Wilder's last film was a flop. But he would get two do-overs in 1957—and the first was his Ernst Lubitsch homage, “Love in the Afternoon.” He also met his second great writing partner: I. A. L. Diamond. Like what we do here on the Filmographers? Then please consider joining our Patreon!

Send us Fan MailOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are going to recapture the magic, no matter the cost. We watched the 1950 film from Billy Wilder, Sunset Boulevard.It's a tale as old as the movies themselves: an actor achieves success, their star burns brightly, and then everything fizzles out and moves on. That's what happened for the once-great Norma Desmond, and the consequences were severe.Poor Joe Gillis. All he wanted to do was write entertaining, meaningful movies. Unfortunately, he hitched his wagon to an unstable person. It sure makes for an affecting classic of cinema, though.

Michelle is back for the conclusion of her and Jason's look at Billy Wilder's vast filmography, with a look at one of his absolute finest films, The Apartment. Jason overcomes his dislike of Jack Lemmon to appreciate a wonderfully subtle performance, while Michelle rhapsodizes over the brilliance and empathy of Wilder's storyline.And both Michelle and Jason analyze the film, looking in nice detail into why just about every element of this film works - and why sometimes the most experienced creators are the most perfect people to work on a project.

After stringing together three hit movies based on Broadway plays, Billy Wilder pivoted to new territory: a biopic of Charles Lindbergh. On one hand, Lindbergh was an American myth whose life story was ripe for Hollywood treatment. On the other, he was a Nazi sympathizer, and Wilder was a Jew who'd lost family in the Holocaust. The project was fraught with difficulties from the start--and that was before Jimmy Stewart arrived on set... Like what we do here on the Filmographers? Then please consider joining our Patreon!

Send us Fan MailWe do enjoy discussing the foundational effect modern directors have on their films --- the whole auteur theory of the style and technique of a director in producing idiosyncratic work. And in film noir, there are plenty of directors who made their reputation in film and the establishment of their hallmark style within the genre. In the last few months, we've visited several such directors who drove deep into the style of film noir --- some later branched out into other work while keeping their significant style. Others plowed a furrow mostly in noir and in retrospect furthered the recognition of the genre itself. To name but a few, we've recently clocked in Fritz Lang, Anthony Mann, Robert Siodmack, and Jules Dassin. You might add Otto Preminger, Jacques Tourneur, and the great Billy Wilder. They brought their characteristic feel to noir and contributed to the idea of the director as author of the entirety of the film --- all else subsumed to their vision. But one of the more impactful and deeply moving of films noir was authored by a director who was an auteur before the phrase was created. A director who was famous and notorious in film – making from his first feature onward. The first feature delivered, by the way, at age 25. A proclaimed genius of film. Many have recognized his first film as perhaps among if not the greatest film in history. He had a nodding acquaintance with films that would be known as noir in later years --- but they merely reflected the fantastic and magical way he saw film and created with cinema. His style was seen across many genres and subject areas --- but it was especially valid for film noir. He was a natural in the movement. His name --- George Orson Welles.Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comBluesky: @wonderfulpeople.bsky.social

Michelle is back for another episode discussing the filmic career of the great Bily Wilder. This time the pair discuss perhaps Wilder's final great film, the complicated and butchered (but still fascinating The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. They also take up one of Wilder's intriguing final movies, the very strange and oddly sweet Avanti!Avanti! (exclamation mark and all) is a film that comes remarkably close to being a great Wilder film. It has all the makings, but Jason and Michelle get into a long and intriguing discussion of why it's too full of old man energy to make the film worthwhile.

The legendary film critic and historian and his “Maltin on Movies” co-host (and daughter!) join us to discuss their wonderful new book “Family Movie Night Menus: Recipes and Films for Unforgettable Times Together,” and one of their very favorite movies, Billy Wilder's acidic media commentary “Ace in the Hole.” Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Comedy Month continues as Mike talks with co-hosts Keith Gordon and Heidi Honeycutt about Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot (1959).Chicago, 1929. Musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) are barely scraping by when they stumble onto the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, witnessing Spats Colombo and his mob gun down a rival gang. With the killers on their tail, the two desperate musicians disguise themselves as women and join Sweet Sue's Society Syncopators, an all-girl band heading to Miami. Aboard the train they meet Sugar Kane Kowalczyk (Marilyn Monroe), a ukulele-playing singer with a weakness for saxophonists and a dream of marrying a millionaire.  Mike also talks with scholar Noah Isenberg — author of the Los Angeles Times bestseller We'll Always Have Casablanca and currently completing a cultural history of Some Like It Hot for Norton — about the film's origins, its enduring legacy, and what it still has to say.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

For April, I'm featuring some of my favorite movies with their stars appearing in tales well calculated to keep you in Suspense. First up is Witness for the Prosecution, Billy Wilder's engrossing courtroom drama adapted from the story by Agatha Christie. We'll hear the stars of the film - Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Marlene Dietrich, and Tyrone Power - in radio thrillers as well as a recreation of the Christie story. Real-life husband and wife Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester star in "The ABC Murders" - another Christie story (originally aired on CBS on May 18, 1943). Ms. Dietrich stars in "Murder Strikes Three Times" (originally aired on CBS on February 16, 1950), and Mr. Power headlines "The Guilty Always Run" (originally aired on CBS on March 22, 1954). Then we'll hear "Witness for the Prosection" presented on The Mollé Mystery Theatre (AFRS rebroadcast from May 31, 1946).

Podréis ver una buenísima comedia que sale este viernes, puede que la mejor que el cine español nos ha ofrecido en años, una comedia sin pedos y también sin languideces amorosas. Una comedia como las que escribía Azcona, o hasta me atrevo a nombrar al Billy Wilder de El apartamento. Altas capacidades se estrena en los cines, y a fe mía que tiene que circular el boca a oreja para que los atorrentados no nos impidan disfrutar de la gracia con inteligencia.

Jackie and Greg grab the key under the doormat for Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT from 1960. Topics of discussion include the film's frank depiction of sex and mental health, Wilder's careful balance of comedy and drama, the razor-sharp script by Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond, and the nuanced performances from Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine.#54 on Sight & Sound's 2022 "The Greatest Films of All Time" list. https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out on Instagram: instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: sceneandheardpod.comGraphic Design: Molly PintoMusic: Andrew CoxEditing: Greg KleinschmidtGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.com

Billy Wilder's last film was a classy, black-and-white romance that paid homage to his mentor, Ernst Lubitsch. In The Seven Year Itch, Wilder goes widescreen and Technicolor to squeeze out plenty of boob jokes. Like what we do here on the Filmographers? Then please consider joining our Patreon!

Hollywood will never tire of remakes, even though few of them manage to capture the spirit of the original. Can the 1995 update of Billy Wilder's classic "Sabrina" buck that trend? It does have an all-star cast and a veteran director behind the camera. Surely this remake won't be like all those other remakes... Enjoy this preview of our Patreon exclusive.

Our parade of Best Picture winners continues with Billy Wilder's The Lost Weekend - a harrowing portrayal of alcoholism that also netted a Best Actor Oscar for its star, Ray Milland. We'll hear Mr. Milland, along with his co-stars Jane Wyman and Howard Da Silva, in episodes of Suspense, plus a radio recreation of the film. Mr. Da Silva stars in "You Take Ballistics" (originally aired on CBS on March 13, 1947), Ms. Wyman stars in "Catch Me if You Can" (originally aired on CBS on February 17, 1949), and Mr. Milland stars in "Chicken Feed" (originally aired on CBS on September 8, 1949). Then Milland and Wyman reunite in The Lady Esther Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on CBS on January 7, 1946), and Ray Milland joins Jack Benny in a spoof of the film (originally aired on NBC on March 10, 1946).

I discuss and review the 1957 Billy Wilder firm starring Charles Laughton. 4/5

This week, we discuss Billy Wilder's other definitive LA-based film noir, the gothic movie-about-movies classic, Sunset Boulevard, famous for its daring narrative and one of the most iconic "mad scenes" in cinema history.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety, including the famous opening image of the floating narrator and the tragic, delusional finale. If you haven't seen this classic, we strongly suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Paramount Pictures production. Released on August 10, 1950. Directed by Billy Wilder. Screenplay by Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder, and D.M. Marshman Jr. Starring Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Erich von Stroheim, and Nancy Olson. Cinematography by John F. Seitz. Edited by Arthur P. Schmidt and Doane Harrison. Score by Franz Waxman.

We're ready for our close-ups, Mr. DeMille! Oh... oh wait, this is a podcast? Ok we'll just get reeeeally close to the mic. That's right, we're revving up the engine of our leopard-lined Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A and diving into Billy Wilder's ICONIC, camp, community-devastating, genre-bending Hollywood extravaganza, Sunset Boulevard!

Billy Wilder is still playing it safe. Sabrina (1954) has stars (Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and William Holden) and is based on a popular Broadway play.

Double Indemnity, as much as any other movie, invented the film noir genre and is possibly the most imitated, spoofed and remade classic of all time. Yet, on re-watching it, we as hosts were  truly surprised: Double Indemnity defies expectations, and as much as being a template for the Film Noir genre it helped birth, it is also a template for the singularly witty and cynical voice of the great Billy Wilder. Wilder's record-breaking writer/director career defied genre expectations with satiric comedies, ground-breaking dramas and films like The Apartment that walk a tightrope between the two. With Double Indemnity, he took a lurid news story about a homicidal wife and, with screenwriter Raymond Chandler, turned it into a taboo-crossing tale of sex and betrayal that spotlights darkest Los Angeles while casting shade on modern American life. Do these qualities pierce through eight decades of parody, imitation and meme? To judge by our young panel's responses, the answer is both yes and no. Hear for yourself if and how this 20th century classic survives 21st century perception.   Hosts: Mark Netter, David Tausik Panelists: Guy Lewis, Olive Goldberg, Sonia Howell, Brennan Guntang An ElectraCast Production   Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Indemnity IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/ Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/double_indemnity Original Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKrrAa2o9Eg Learn more about your ad choices.

Dedicamos dos horas y media al cineasta Billy Wilder o, como decía Fernando Trueba, Dios. El guionista y director de cine ha marcado la historia de la cultura universal con películas como 'Con faldas y a lo loco', 'El apartamento' o 'El crepúsculo de los dioses'. Luis Alegre y Fernando Trueba visitan el programa para hablar de Wilder, a raíz de la publicación de 'BILLY WILDER: ANATOMÍA DE UN GENIO', capitaneado por Alegre. En esta conversación, Trueba cuenta cómo fue su estrecha relación con Billy Wilder, las conversaciones, el día que le dedicó el Oscar por Belle Epoque o la entrevista que le hizo para El País en 1991 donde el director contó una anécdota inédita de Ava Gardner. Guillermo Balmori nos contó cómo fue su vida, desde su nacimiento en Sucha, antiguo Imperio astrohúngaro, su llegada a Hollywood o sus amistades con actores como Jack Lemmon. 

Michelle is back to continue our look at the films of Billy Wilder. This time we look at the the three films he made which start Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon: The Fortune Cookie, The Front Page and Buddy Buddy. Are these three late career Wilder films lost classics or signs the old man didn't have his old fastball? Hmm, well, let's just say these are not the best films in Wilder's catalog...
