The French Foreign Legion called the 3 Geste boys and they trekked off to Africa to end up in William Wellman's tense adventure flick. It's an action-war film that ends with a long, but well-paced siege inside a fort. Gary Cooper is miscast as the title character (he's too old and too American), but he has pretty good chemistry with Ray Milland and Robert Preston, who play his brothers. Susan Hayward is briefly in this too, although Brian Donlevy steals the movie as a jerk sergeant...and got an Oscar nomination for it. There's also a movie-long mystery here after someone steals their benefactor's expensive sapphire. But who...and why?! So tune in for episode #750 as white bros go on assignment in Africa and play war with the locals in Beau Geste.

Kilómetro Cero: 'Los lunes al Sol' en Teatros del Canal, ayuda de Madrid a Venezuela y cine clásico: Union Pacific

Jaume Segalés y su equipo analizan los temas de actualidad y comentan la agenda cultural. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos:'Los lunes al Sol' Han pasado 24 años desde que un joven Fernando León de Aranoa estrenó la película 'Los lunes al sol'. Un drama que obtuvo 5 Premios Goya y la Concha de Oro a la Mejor Película en el Festival de San Sebastián. Ahora, después de una exitosa gira, tenemos la versión escénica en la Sala Roja de Teatros del Canal, adaptada por el coguionista original de la película, Ignacio del Moral, que la escribió junto al propio Aranoa. La trama retrata la vida de un grupo de trabajadores que han sido despedidos de un astillero gallego durante la desindustrialización de los años 90. Aborda el desempleo, la dignidad de esos parados y algo muy importante, el sentido de la amistad en circunstancias difíciles. Hasta el domingo 28 de junio en la Sala Roja-Concha Velasco de los Teatros del Canal. Viernes y sábado a las 20:00 y el domingo a las 19:30. Entrevistamos al guionista y adaptador, Ignacio del Moral.Unidades de rescate madrileñas en Venezuela Profesionales de la unidad de Emergencia y Respuesta Inmediata de la Comunidad de Madrid (ERICAM), del Cuerpo de Bomberos y de Servicio de Urgencia Médica autonómico (SUMMA 112) se han desplazado a Venezuela para trabajar en las tareas de rescate. Sección de cine clásico Es sesión continua Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre Unión Pacífico (Union Pacific). Western dramático estadounidense de 1939 dirigido por Cecil B. DeMille, con música de Sigmund Krumgold y John Leipold e interpretación de Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Akim Tamiroff, Robert Preston, Lynne Overman, Brian Donlevy, Robert Barrat, Anthony Quinn, Stanley Ridges y Lon Chaney Jr. Su historia se desarrolla poco después de finalizar la Guerra de Secesión, cuando se pone en marcha la ampliación de la línea de ferrocarril con la que Washington pretende unir varios extremos del extenso país con el objetivo de expandirse hacia el oeste y crear nuevos asentamientos de colonos que se convertirán en el embrión de las futuras ciudades. Una empresa basada en la iniciativa individual y en la actividad de la industria. Los implicados se enfrentan a enormes dificultades derivadas de la codicia de todo tipo de especuladores y aventureros y la presencia de los indígenas que se ven cada vez más presionados. Así, la trama principal ocurre entre la Union Pacific (que construye las vías desde el este, partiendo de Omaha) y la Central Pacific (que construye desde el oeste, partiendo de California). Ambas empresas se enfrentan en una carrera brutal para ver cuál avanza más rápido y se queda con los mayores subsidios del gobierno y el control del nudo ferroviario de Ogden, Utah. En este filme de Cecil B. DeMille, la competencia no se juega limpiamente en las vías, sino mediante la guerra sucia con un villano en las sombras: el banquero de Chicago Asa Barrows. Su plan consiste en retrasar intencionadamente las obras de la "Union Pacific" para desplomar sus acciones, venderlas en corto y hacer que la "Central Pacific" gane la carrera.

Classic film noir meets sleazy Italian exploitation this week as Sakana and Dr Ethan drop by to check out The Glass Key (1942), directed by Stuart Heisler, and the magnificently named Strip Nude For Your Killer (1975), directed by Andrea Bianchi. We dive deep into the lives and travails of The Glass Key's wonderful cast (including Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake and Brian Donlevy) and the its striking similarities with Coen brothers' later masterpiece, Miller's Crossing. Then, stay tuned for Ethan, Joe and especially Rob trying hard not to embarrass themselves expressing their... appreciation for Edwige Fenech in Bianchi's lurid giallo. This time, we manage to have a deep discussion without spoiling the plots of either film, so we won't be calling out Spoiler Territory this week. Want to get in touch?

I had too many favorite 1946 Suspense shows for one episode! In this bonus installment, I'm sharing five more of my most-loved "tales well calculated" from '46. Brian Donlevy stars as Duncan Maclain, the blind detective created by Baynard Kendrick in an adaptation of Kendrick's mystery "Out of Control" (originally aired on CBS on March 28, 1946). Agnes Moorehead - the first lady of Suspense - stars in "Post Mortem," a story from Cornell Woolrich about a dead husband and a lottery ticket (originally aired on CBS on April 4, 1946). An all-star cast of Hollywood radio players presents the story of a comatose man who's got a date with the undertaker in "Dead Ernest" (originally aired on CBS on August 8, 1946). Lloyd Nolan and Vincent Price head to the woods but only one of them is coming home in "Hunting Trip" (orginally aired on CBS on September 12, 1946). And Joseph Cotten is plagued by the image of a dead body that only he can see in "The Thing in the Window" (originally aired on CBS on December 19, 1946).

Not-so perfect alibis, a missing wife, and some supernatural horrors are on deck with my favorite Suspense episodes from 1946. Joseph Cotten commits an impulsive murder and has to reverse engineer an alibi in "Crime Without Passion" (originally aired on CBS on May 2, 1946), and J. Carrol Naish hopes he can disappear into the crowd after killing his wife in "Commuter's Ticket" (originally aired on CBS on August 1, 1946). Robert Young searches for his wife when she leaves after a fight - and disappears - in "You'll Never See Me Again" (originally aired on September 2, 1946). Brian Donlevy is a psychiatrist whose new patient is a human lie detector in "Lazarus Walks" (originally aired on CBS on October 31, 1946), and Robert Taylor stars in what may be the scariest Suspense story ever - "The House in Cypress Canyon" (originally aired on CBS on December 5, 1946).
