Despite the death of his leading man, director Blake Edwards forged ahead with yet ANOTHER attempt at resuscitating the Pink Panther series. This time, Edwards decided to replace both the late Peter Sellers and Inspector Clouseau with a new bumbling detective, New York investigator Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass). The result: Curse of the Pink Panther (1983). __________Taylor Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Writer Nick Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Editor
El podcast de cine de Libertad Digital examina la evolución de la censura y el aperturismo social a través de dos obras que marcaron la historia. En una nueva entrega de Pari Par, el podcast de cine y series de esRadio, los presentadores Juanma González y Dani Palacios cuentan con la participación de la Alicia Parente para desgranar dos joyas de la comedia española dirigidas por Mariano Ozores: Operación Secretaría y Fin de semana al desnudo. El eje central de la conversación gira en torno al fenómeno del landismo y la figura de Alfredo Landa, quien interpreta al carismático Rodolfo Cisneros. Mientras que en la cinta de 1966, Operación Secretaría, la trama se desarrolla en blanco y negro con un tono más contenido, la versión de 1974, Fin de semana al desnudo, se sumerge de lleno en el aperturismo del tardofranquismo, utilizando el color y una mayor carga de tensión sexual para atraer al público de la época. Uno de los puntos más destacados por los colaboradores de Libertad Digital es el duelo interpretativo entre las dos grandes cómicas que protagonizan ambas versiones: Gracita Morales y Lina Morgan. La charla también aborda las curiosas reglas de la censura cinematográfica de aquel periodo. En 1974, las normas se habían relajado lo suficiente como para permitir algunos excesos lujuriosos. Secuencias memorables como la batalla de tartas en el despacho del notario, un claro homenaje de Mariano Ozores al cine de Blake Edwards; el final de la película, donde el personaje de Alfredo Landa acaba escayolado y derrotado por las mujeres... El equipo concluye reivindicando el cine industrial de los años sesenta y setenta como una industria que funcionaba, generaba beneficios y entretenía a un público que abarrotaba las salas para ver a sus musas, como la mítica Carmen Sevilla, en la gran pantalla.

Send us Fan MailHe turned down a sure thing with Sam Peckinpah and said yes to a script with a strange title: Flashdance. That single choice reshaped Michael Nouri's acting career, and the way he tells it makes you feel how fragile “overnight success” really is.We talk with Michael about the long road behind the iconic roles: discovering theater in school, chasing work in New York, handling early on-camera fear, and learning how craft evolves when Hollywood keeps changing the rules. He shares what it was like to realize Flashdance had become a phenomenon, right down to the moment audiences stood up cheering and then poured out to buy the soundtrack. If you love filmmaking, film history, and the behind-the-scenes reality of casting, negotiation, and timing, this conversation delivers.Then we go deeper into the heart side of show business. Michael opens up about depression, the value of therapy and support systems, and how grief forces a recalibration after losing loved ones. At 80, he reflects on time speeding up, the fear of feeling irrelevant, and why a sense of purpose is non-negotiable. We also get one of my favorite Hollywood stories: how an eggplant parmesan sandwich led to Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews and a life-changing path to Victor Victoria on Broadway, plus what he's doing now in television and the memoir and charity book projects that keep his creative engine running.If this moved you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more artists and story lovers can find The Heart of Show Business.Let's keep this going!→ Instagram (daily insights + behind the scenes)→ Books & Author Page→ Work with Me → ShopGet Social with Michael Nouri Support the showThanks for listening!

Goon Pod kicks off a new series for 2026 by looking back at a film which is unbelievably fifty years old but when released was hailed as a modern masterpiece of comedy cinema, and which lifted Peter Sellers from an extended period of career inertia: The Return of the Pink Panther, directed by Blake Edwards. Sellers plays Inspector Clouseau once again, back on the trail of the mysterious Phantom – aka Sir Charles Litton (Christopher Plummer) – who apparently has stolen the famed Pink Panther diamond again. Along the way the hapless ‘tec nearly gets shot, gets blown up by a bomb, drives into a swimming pool, is outwitted by a parrot, assists a bank robbery, gets squashed in a revolving door and is the victim of countless other indignities. Joining Tyler is Sitcom Club co-host Gary Rodger and the conversation, rather like Clouseau on the waxy museum floor, goes in all directions:How Lew Grade came to the rescueWho might have been cast in the mooted Pink Panther television seriesPrince Charles moistening a lady in MontrealWhat happened to Niven?We love John BluthalZwamm?Douglas Fairbanks Jr as an early casting choiceHow Sellers' career may have panned out had this film not happenedCheering Lodge & StarkPan & Scan technologyLast of the Summer Wine Catherine Schell corpses, Victor Spinetti fumes, Mike Grady shines and Carole Cleveland makes a splashDid Dreyfuss overreact? And much much more. It's all here folks!

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: Enfermedades Raras Mañana sábado 28 de febrero se conmemora el Día Mundial de las Enfermedades Raras. Una jornada que da pie a reflexionar sobre los retos pendientes que afectan a quienes las padecen: mejorar el diagnóstico precoz; avanzar en la creación y acceso a tratamientos; y visibilizar la realidad de los que conviven con estas patologías poco frecuentes. Se conocen más de 7.000 enfermedades raras, pero sólo aproximadamente el 6% dispone de tratamiento. En España, se estima que más de 3 millones de personas padecen alguna de estas patologías. Muchas de ellas son graves, crónicas, potencialmente mortales y la gran mayoría (alrededor del 70%) se desarrollan durante la infancia. Además, el diagnóstico suele retrasarse por el desconocimiento de sus síntomas, lo cual incrementa la carga física, emocional y social para los pacientes y sus familias. Este año, ponemos el foco en las entidades que investigan y desarrollan medicamentos para este tipo de enfermedades, cuyos tratamientos están dirigidos a un número muy reducido de pacientes. Tal es el caso de Recordati Rare Diseases, división del grupo Recordati (que este año celebra su centenario) especializada en patologías poco frecuentes. Desde 2007, centra su actividad exclusivamente en enfermedades raras como la de Cushing, la acromegalia, la porfiria o el neuroblastoma de alto riesgo. Entrevistamos al director general de Recordati Rare Diseases en España y Portugal, David Marín Raboso. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre "Mi hermana Elena" (My sister Eileen). Película musical estadounidense de 1955 dirigida por Richard Quine, con guion de Blake Edwards, Richard Quine y Joseph Fields, y protagonizada por Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon y Betty Garrett. Dos hermanas muy diferentes, una explosiva rubia y una tímida morena, llegan a Nueva York dispuestas a abrirse camino: una como actriz, la otra como escritora. Narra la historia de las hermanas Ruth (Betty Garrett) y Elena Sherwood (Janet Leigh), nacidas en Columbus (Ohio), que llegan a NYC para conseguir fama y fortuna. Ruth, la mayor, es tímida, se considera poco agraciada, teme quedar soltera, escribe cuentos y es portadora de una carta de recomendación para Robert "Bob" Baker (Jack Lemmon), editor de la revista "L'Amour". Elena es rubia, extrovertida, guapa, simpática y desea triunfar como actriz de teatro. Ambas se instalan en un semisótano destartalado de Greenwich Village, rodeado de vecinos excéntricos.
Rebecca and Tori chat about Blake Edwards' 1963 classic, 'The Pink Panther,' and its follow-up, the 1964, 'A Shot in the Dark.' In our most spoiler-free episode to date, we discuss Peter Sellers' life, scenes that made us laugh the most, what didn't age well, and what was ludicrous. We kind of sing too.MusicApache Rock Instrumental | by Sound Atelier; licensed from JamendoShining Star Flourish: Sound Effect by u_it78ck90s3 from PixabaySpotlight Flourish: Sound Effect by StudioKolomna from PixabayPodcast Jazz Bossa Nova Acoustic Guitar Good Mood Music by Denis-Pavlov-Music on PixabayMovie Clipctpatant | A Shot in the Dark | 27 Jan 2012 | YouTubeSourcesLa Roquette Prisons - WikipediaPeter Sellers - The Genius who was Chief Inspector Clouseau | British HeritagePeter Sellers - The Genius who was Chief Inspector Clouseau | British HeritageThe unsettled soul behind the comic facade: Peter Sellers - America Magazine
Hoy recordaremos la vida de un gentleman inglés que estaba más cu-cú que un reloj suizo. Hoy recordaremos a Richard Henry Sellers, no, no me he equivocado de nombre, es que lo suyo era mitad genético, mitad familia un poquito disfuncional. Richard nació el 8 de septiembre de 1925 en Southsea, un pueblecito inglés que tiene playa pero sin chiringuitos, por eso se vienen los de allí a Chipiona. Tuvo un hermano que no llegó a nacer que se iba a llamar Peter. Y Luego nació él, que le pusieron Richard Henry pero lo llamaban Peter porque había que traumatizarlo prontito, que luego tó son prisas. Sus padres eran artistas, protestante él, judía ella, que metieron al niño en un colegio católico con muchos curas porque no desaprovechaban una oportunidad de joderle la vida. Además su padre solía decirle que iba a tener un brillante porvenir como barrendero. Una infancia itinerante, junto con la soledad del hijo único y la búsqueda de refugio en su madre Agnes, hizo que Peter mirara a su progenitora con los mismos ojitos que Trump a Groenlandia. Estos primeros años dieron como resultado una personalidad más inestable que el precio de los boquerones. Peter empezó muy joven a estudiar interpretación pero lo que a él le gustaba de verdad era ponerse la rebequita llena de bolitas de su madre y tocar la batería. Se le daba tan bien la música que la amistad con un tal George Martin lo llevó a ser el primero en escuchar el “Álbum Blanco” para dar su opinión porque los Beatles confiaban más en él que Pere Navarro en las balizas V16. Cuando Peter tenía 15 años, la explosión de la IIWW lo obligó a dejar los estudios y a buscarse la vida como cómico itinerante. Fue reclutado a la fuerza con la idea de convertirlo en piloto de caza, a un chaval que llevaba las gafas de Chus Lampreabe, que una vez se le rompió un cristal y le pusieron el culo de un tarro de paté a la pimienta. Y así fue como se convirtió en la Marta Sánchez de ellos y acabó en el Gang Show, una troupe que entretenía a los soldados con chistes de nazis gangosos. Fue aquí donde le cogió tanto coraje al color púrpura que Peter veía una berenjena y empezaba a sudar como cuando te entra un apretón en casa tu suegros y tú intentas aguantar para cagá en tu casa. Ya en esta época era una mezcl entre Woody Allen y José Luis López Vázquez mosqueao, usaba sombreros de pescador de cuadros porque tenía la cabeza como un quesito del Trivial y no le cabía otro y afirmaba que cada vez que necesitaba inspiración para un papel lo poseían personajes como Napoleón, Leonardo Da Vinci o Carmen de Mairena. Su astrólogo que se había dado cuenta que Peter estaba más pa´llá que Miguel Bosé, se dejaba sobornar por los directores para aconsejarle que aceptara este o aquel papel. Para el del Inspector Clouseau de la Pantera Rosa le advirtió que una persona con las iniciales B.E. le cambiaría la vida y Peter en vez de cogerle el teléfono al director Blake Edwards, se casó con la actriz Britt Ekland, para desgracia de ella. Peter se casó 4 veces, tuvo un lío fugaz con Liza Minnelli que bajó un momentito a por tabaco cuando Peter le dijo que lo había poseído Rasputín y tuvo 3 hijos a los que desheredó (A LOS 3) porque la pequeña de 15 años le dijo un día que en Bienvenido Mr. Chance parecía un “vejito gordo”. También fue el único al que Kubrick dejó improvisar en una película y se llevó 20 años buscando la manera de dejá de pagá el OCASO. Lo intentó todo: trabajá más horas que Buenafuente, echarse droja en el Cola-Cao, darle chupetones fuertes al ventolín antes de gratinarle el mollete a la parienta, nada, como mucho 8 infartos en 3 horas que le dieron en 1964. Desgraciadamente el genio gruñón de Peter Sellers nos dejaba el 24 de julio de 1980, a los 54 años, a su décimo quinto ataque al corazón aunque ustedes siempre podrán recordarlo cada vez que vean a una madre con una rebequita llena de bolitas o se ganen un quesito jugando al Trivial.

There's a lot of noise in the investing world, but building wealth doesn't have to become a second job. In this episode, I share how to invest simply, consistently, and with your family's future in mind, without stress or constant decision-making. In today's episode, I sit down with Blake Edwards from Georgia, who has built an $865,000 net worth by age 31. Blake breaks down how intentional income growth, living below their means, and staying aligned as a couple helped accelerate their wealth. He also shares a transparent look at his family's assets, approach to generosity, and what generational wealth really means to him beyond the numbers. I wrap up with a Money Quiz, testing my son Calvin on Stranger Things revenue, compound interest, and the gap between race prizes and investment returns. If you want real-life inspiration and practical proof that calm, consistent investing works, even with a busy family and W-2 jobs, this episode will encourage you to stay the course and keep moving forward.

Flashdance leading man Michael Nouri sits down with Steve Kmetko for a wide-ranging, funny, and unexpectedly emotional conversation about his decades in Hollywood — from Goodbye, Columbus and Flashdance to Broadway, Victor/Victoria, Yellowstone, and beyond. Michael looks back on the night the acting bug bit him in a high school Gilbert & Sullivan production, his early stage days with legends like Julie Harris, and bombing his very first movie line opposite Ali MacGraw in Goodbye, Columbus. He talks about trying to dodge the Vietnam draft, enlisting, and then being honorably discharged because the Army literally couldn't find boots big enough for his size-16 feet. Of course, he dives into Flashdance: the terrible reviews, the electric audience reaction, that rare standing ovation in Westwood, working with director Adrian Lyne, producers Simpson & Bruckheimer, and co-star Jennifer Beals (plus their canine scene partner, Grunt). He explains how the massive success of the film didn't translate into the career momentum he'd hoped for, the movie with William Friedkin that fell apart, and how he ended up in Bay City Blues alongside a then-unknown Sharon Stone instead. Michael also shares powerful stories from touring South Pacific right after 9/11 — including emotional nightly renditions of “God Bless America” with audiences arm-in-arm — and the chance encounter with Blake Edwards that led to him starring opposite Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria, complete with a custom song by Henry Mancini. He reflects on aging in Hollywood, evolving from leading man to dads, granddads, and senators, still auditioning for filmmakers like Bradley Cooper, and staying grateful that the phone keeps ringing. Along the way, he remembers working with Sean Connery, F. Murray Abraham, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Kelly Reilly, and even Anna Nicole Smith, plus the life lesson he learned the hard way trying to approach Luciano Pavarotti backstage. He also opens up about political anxiety, the emotional toll of the news cycle, the importance of community, and why he now protects his peace by switching from cable news to TCM. And yes, we meet Charlie, his “heart on four legs,” and hear how daily meditation keeps him grounded after more than five decades in the business. If you love Flashdance, classic Hollywood stories, Broadway memories, and honest talk about surviving and adapting in this business, this episode is a gem.

Alla luce di ciò che accade intorno a noi, in un mondo che sembra accelerare verso un cambiamento profondo e radicale di ciò che conoscevamo – e spesso davamo per scontato – un cambiamento che investe ogni ambito, dalla geopolitica alla sessualità, dalla religione al linguaggio, Radici inaugura la 3. edizione. Il festival è un progetto della Fondazione Circolo dei lettori a cura di Giuseppe Culicchia con il contributo della Regione Piemonte-Assessorato Regionale all'Emigrazione; Radici è in programma da questo giovedì fino a domenica, 13-16 novembre, tra il Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici e il Cinema Romano. Dopo il successo delle precedenti edizioni, il programma propone una nuova serie di incontri, lezioni e spettacoli che affrontano il tema dell'identità — individuale e collettiva — e della memoria, in un contesto sociale sempre più complesso. Attraverso grandi voci e opere, Radici indaga come i cambiamenti culturali abbiano trasformato la nostra percezione del sé, invitando a riflettere sulla consapevolezza della propria individualità e del mondo.

Forrige episode med 'Glemmekassen' var den perfekte start. Det var sikkert, hyggeligt, lunt og rart. Med andre ord absolut ikke særlig Movieboxet. Er sæson 11 overhovedet kommet rigtigt i gang? Nej, ikke endnu, men spænd hjelmen, for denne uges episode folder virkelig sejlene ud på vores hærdede skude HMS Moviebox, der bringer os videre i vores uendelige VHS-odyssé. Og som fire VHS-Odysseus'er møder vi også mange ikoniske video-myter og -monstre på vores vej, men hvordan det er lykkedes os at undgå denne episodes tema er nok det største mysterium af alle: BYTTE-BYTTE KROP! Niels lægger ud på den støvede hylde med Dansk film, hvor han finder den danske sci-fi-thriller 'Farligt Venskab' (1995), hvor den danske Mr. Moviebox him self, Ulf Pilgaard, skal spille en 15-årig teenager. Det er dansk 90'er-uhygge, når det er allermest dansk. I vanlig stil tager Sonny en film med, der er god på 4-stjerner-måden. Han serverer nemlig den trygge og ufarlige Blake Edwards-komedie 'Switch' (1991). En mandschauvinist lærer en hård lektie, da han vågner op i Ellen Barkins krop og nu skal håndtere sin totalt forvirrede bedste ven (TV's Jimmy Smits). En ægte Beverly Hills Club-klassiker. Og netop som vi tror, aftenen er faldet til ro, kører Ask videobussen direkte ud over afgrunden med det ubestridelige mesterværk 'The Thing with Two Heads' (1972). Aldrig har en titel løjet så lidt. En rig, hvid racist får sit hoved transplanteret på kroppen af en sort mand og en lavine af dybt politisk ukorrekt 70'er-galskab følger. Det bliver en aften, du sent vil glemme, uanset hvilken krop du vågner op i i morgen. Det var alle de Pringles-dåser vi havde til jer denne gang, men HUSK: Spol altid episoden tilbage, når du har lyttet færdigt! Med venlig hilsen, Ask, Sonny, Niels & Casper
Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, un classique des classiques. Si je vous dis : une longue robe noire, un chignon relevé, un long porte-cigarette, une taille de brindille et le regard pétillant, vous aurez tout de suite en tête la silhouette longiligne dʹAudrey Hepburn qui incarne Holly Golightly dans Diamants sur canapé, Breakfast at Tiffanyʹs, une des silhouettes les plus célèbres du cinéma créé par le couturier français Hubert de Givenchy. Le film de Blake Edwards sort en 1961, adapté dʹune nouvelle de Truman Capote. Dans Diamants sur Canapé, Audrey Hepburn est splendide et mutine aux côtés de George Peppard, Mickey Rooney, Patricia Neal, et dʹun chat, cabotin comme pas deux. Lʹhistoire est celle dʹune coureuse de millionnaires et dʹun écrivain gigolo qui vont, après bien des péripéties, tomber amoureux. Mais le film est plus profond que cela. Sous le vernis et la comédie se cache une vraie désespérance, une quête du bonheur et de la sécurité matérielle et affective. Cʹest normal, cʹest du Blake Edwards et rien nʹest rose pour lui, à part peut-être sa panthère quʹil tournera juste après. Porté par sa musique composée par Henri Mancini, et pour laquelle il reçoit un Oscar en 1962, par sa comédienne, par son iconographie, Breakfast at Tiffanyʹs rencontre tout de suite un succès jamais démenti et entre dans la légende du cinéma en lançant lʹère des femmes libérées. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça.

Click here to try it out!This week the dads step into glamorous 1960s Europe with Blake Edwards' The Pink Panther (1963) — the first outing for Peter Sellers' bumbling Inspector Clouseau.For many of us, this was like watching it for the first time. Sure, we'd caught bits on Sunday TV over the years, but sitting down start-to-finish was a new experience — and a surprising one. Despite being branded a Clouseau movie, Sellers actually takes a back seat to David Niven's dashing jewel thief Sir Charles Lytton and Robert Wagner's playboy nephew George.We dig into:The film's mix of heist caper and sixties sex comedy — sometimes charming, sometimes painfully long.Sellers' scene-stealing slapstick: globes, violins, and his endless (and fruitless) attempts to seduce his wife.David Niven's unlikely role as a 50-something ladies' man — suave or just icky in hindsight?The technicolour glamour of Cortina ski resorts, high society parties, and that unforgettable animated title sequence.Whether The Pink Panther works better as a star vehicle for Niven/Wagner or as a platform for Sellers' Clouseau — and why the sequels got the balance right.It's long, it's dated, it's occasionally hilarious — and it launched one of cinema's most iconic comedy characters.
In connection with the latest "Fun For All Ages" tribute to "The Love Boat," GGACP revisits this 2019 interview with Captain Stubing himself, actor Gavin MacLeod. In this memorable episode, Gavin joins Gilbert and Frank for a candid conversation about paying dues, playing bad guys, crushing on Marilyn Monroe, acting with (and without) a hairpiece and sharing a decades-long friendship with the late, great Ted Knight. Also, Gavin praises Cary Grant, ad-libs with Peter Sellers, cuts the rug with Bing Crosby and breaks into the business with Martin Balsam, Martin Landau and Jack Warden. PLUS: Big Chicken! “Chuckles Bites the Dust”! The brilliance of Blake Edwards! A surprise caller chimes in! And Gavin and Tony Curtis share a donut! Learn more about your ad choices.

It's here! Recording my 250th episode introduction was tougher than I thought it'd be for a few reasons. The first is, of course, because I'm a total cheeseball & much too earnest, which is a curse both most Midwestern & Italian-American since I tend to treat everyone like family and am much too passionate about what interests me. But the second reason is because right now it's such a rough time in our history (& most of our lives) that celebrating this accomplishment feels silly & self-indulgent. Then I realized, however, that this milestone is everyone's accomplishment who's ever listened to or guested on the podcast, as well as the people in my life who've supported me from the moment I first started Watch With Jen as a humble little film recommendation show five years ago & I'm so incredibly grateful for those souls so I hope it makes them proud. I know I'm the woman running the podcast behind the scenes (which is why it's not as technologically advanced as others, I fear) but I'm not being disingenuous when I say that it really is our show overall.And with this in mind, I wanted to feature a film franchise that has brought so much joy and laughter to the lives of moviegoers around the world since it first started in the early 1960s. So sit back and listen to my knowledgeable friend & fellow film historian & essayist Peter Avellino & I explore the world of Blake Edwards & Peter Sellers' THE PINK PANTHER.Originally Posted on Patreon (3/17/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/124502377Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop (+ Direct Link to the Mug) Donate to the Pod via Ko-fiTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Watching this movie doesn't make you stand up and say, "Ah, that felt good" and yet, somehow, it is near the top of both our lists. As you listen to find out why, you'll hear how much we think the central performance works and does not work, the stand out moments we see from director Blake Edwards and many trips down many lanes that having nothing to do with this film. Thanks to our monthly supporters Andrew Pangle Steve Weiss Matthew Aldrich Edward Lankford Heather Sahami
CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of alcoholism, child neglect, substance abuse, addiction. Every year at the Oscars there's a movie that stands out as the film that should be the Best Picture, just for the sheer raw power of its storytelling. This is that movie. Jack Lemmon is giving a performance for the ages, the supporting cast is rock solid, and the always contrarian Blake Edwards goes for broke. This could have easily been a melodrama, but you get the sense very quickly that everyone making this movie got the impact of what they were doing here. And that's incredible, considering there's movies that come out in 2025 that can't capture the truth of addiction like this movie.

Ross Martin, known mostly for playing nice guys, is bad guy Red Lynch and was nominated for a best supporting actor Golden Globe.

Episode 173: In Conversation With Billy Vera (Part 1) Sarah usually writes these show notes, and on the rare occasion that I fill in for her, I do something silly - I either make them really short or I have ChatGPT help me by doing most of the work. This time, I asked to do them because I am still in shock that this episode exists and because it was a true thrill to speak with an artist who has been a favorite of mine since I was 16! After discovering Billy Vera, along with many others of my generation, thanks to the hit comedy "Family Ties", I would go on to collect his entire catalog, with the exception of "Queen of Diamonds / Jack of Hearts" by Evie Sands & Billy Vera which I haven't been able to find yet. I will one day though! I would watch him on TV shows like "Wiseguy" and "Into the Night", where he served as a late-night bandleader and often performed his wonderful songs. I would occasionally be surprised and excited to spot him in movies throughout the 80s and 90s. He was doing so many great things, and doing all of those things at a level which should have made him a Super Star if there was any justice in the world. With all of his various talents, songwriting and singing are where Billy truly shines, so getting to talk with him about his career and his music was an amazing experience. In this first episode (of two), we touched on so many topics, even going back to the mid-1960s and some of his earliest songs. I really hope you will enjoy this discussion on some of my favorite music. Topics that we cover in this first episode: · Billy's upcoming trip to Italy to perform and to receive an award at the Porretta Soul Music Festival · Working with Jerry Wexler · Writing songs professionally in NYC in the 1960s · A song he wishes he wrote · Writing "Room with a View" with Lowell Fulson · Working with Bonnie Raitt · Recording "Storybook Children" with Judy Clay · Playing the Apollo Theater · Thoughts on songwriting · Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era and "Don't Look Back" · His 1988 Capital album "Retro Nuevo" · The three styles of Production · Working with Lou Rawls and George Benson · Working with Arif Mardin · How did Jim Keltner become a Beater in 1988? · Working on the Blake Edwards movie "Blind Date" · Hanging out with Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Kim Basinger · Meeting L. Russell Brown · Being "inspired" by Loni Anderson · Writing his biggest hit "At this Moment" and the story behind the song · Writing Brian's favorite BV song "Here Comes The Dawn Again" · Releasing his biggest album on Rhino Records · Doing promo work in the 1980s · Advice from his mother You can learn more about Billy's story, his books, and his music at https://billyvera.com/ Follow him on Facebook for the latest info on his gigs and his weekly radio show: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealBillyVera Treat yourself to music and books by Billy here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=billy+vera&crid=31CGZ21181YET&sprefix=billy+vera%2Caps%2C102&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Read more at http://www.permanentrecordpodcast.com/ Visit us at https://www.facebook.com/permrecordpodcast Follow us at https://twitter.com/permrecordpod Check out some pictures at https://www.instagram.com/permanentrecordpodcast/ So this BlueSky thing looks shiny and new: https://bsky.app/profile/permrecordpod.bsky.social Oh!

TVC 653.2: Music journalist Jon Burlingame (Music for Prime Time, Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir) talks to Ed about how Blake Edwards came to develop Mr. Lucky (CBS, 1959-1960) for television, including how Edwards originally wanted Ricardo Montalban to play the title character and how Ross Martin wasn't signed to play Andamo just before production began.

TVC 654.3: Music journalist Jon Burlingame (Music for Prime Time, Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir) talks to Ed about the strange, but true broadcast history of Mr. Lucky (CBS, 1959-1960), including how the ill-conceived mandate from the show's sponsor, Lever Brothers, to change the concept of Mr. Lucky midseason ultimately drove producer Blake Edwards to remove his name from the series.

TVC 654.6: Music journalist Jon Burlingame (Music for Prime Time, Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir) discusses some of the many innovations that Blake Edwards and Peter Gunn brought to network television (including “night for night” shooting, one year before Quinn Martin would make that into an art form), and how the romance between Peter Gunn and Edie Hart was very provocative for its time.

TVC 654.5: Ed welcomes back esteemed music journalist and music historian Jon Burlingame (Music for Prime Time: A History of American Television Themes and Scoring). Jon's latest book, Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir, is a combination history of Peter Gunn (NBC/ABC, 1958-1961) on television; biography of Grammy Award-winning and Academy Award-winning composer Henry Mancini; and discography of all of the original music that Henry Mancini composed for both Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky (CBS, 1959-1960) and the soundtrack albums that accompanied both series. Topics this segment include the many moments of serendipity that enabled series creator/producer Blake Edwards to get Peter Gunn on the air and hire Henry Mancini; how Mancini changed the face and sound of prime time television by introducing jazz music as dramatic accompaniment; and the sheer volume of original music that Mancini composed for both Gunn and Mr. Lucky every week between 1958 and 1961.
