Our month of classic Hollywood romance wraps up with the picture that gave us one of the most iconic scenes in film history - From Here to Eternity, the wartime romantic drama featuring the love scene on the beach between Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr with the waves crashing over them. We'll hear Mr. Lancaster and Ms. Kerr along with Frank Sinatra - who took home an Oscar for his performance - in three tales of Suspense. First it's Ol' Blue Eyes menacing Agnes Moorehead in "To Find Help" (AFRS rebroadcast from January 18, 1945). Next, Burt Lancaster is out to make a killing in the mining business in "The Big Shot" (originally aired on CBS on September 9, 1948). Finally, Deborah Kerr is a beautiful jewel thief out for revenge on the partner who double crossed her in "The Lady Pamela" (originally aired on CBS on March 31, 1952).
La imagen que la mayoría de la gente tiene de From Here To Eternity, es la de Burt Lancaster abrazando a Deborah Kerr en las playas de Hawái, con las olas agitándose a su alrededor. La MPAA prohibió las fotos del famoso beso por ser demasiado eróticas. Una película emblemática.

⭐Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) - When "Just Following Orders" Fails (Plot Synopsis) ⭐
EPISODE 125 - “VIRGINIA MAYO: CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD STAR OF THE MONTH” - 2/02/2026 One of the most glamorous actresses in old Hollywood undoubtedly was VIRGINIA MAYO. This peaches-and-cream, midwestern beauty started her career wrangling two men in a horse costume on stage before being discovered by producer SAMUEL GOLDWYN and transformed into a full-blown movie star. Often playing the fantasy girl to leading men like BOB HOPE and DANNY KAYE, her beauty sometimes made people miss the fact that she was a very capable actress — particularly when she played bad girls in films like “The Best Years of Our Lives” and “White Heat.” She was very adept at light comedy, romance films, and drama, appearing in over 50 feature films and many television shows throughout her career. And tune in to find out about Steve's connection to this old Hollywood glamour girl as we celebrate Mayo as our February Star of the Month.

Este é o segundo episódio da série de podcasts Ugo Giorgetti em 4 documentários e trata de dois médias-metragens: “Variações Sobre Um Quarteto de Cordas” e “Santana em Santana”, documentários produzidos pelo diretor e produtor, que também são muito diferentes entre si, mas que têm um ponto crucial em comum. No episódio, Liniane Brum e Mayra Trinca revelam como eles entrelaçam as trajetórias de vida de dois artistas, em meio ao desenvolvimento da cidade de São Paulo. _____________________________ Roteiro [Som de tráfego em cidade: buzinas, carros, ruídos de fundo.] Mantém em BG até entrada da música de transição. LINI: Esse é o segundo episódio da série de podcasts Ugo Giorgetti em 4 documentários. Meu nome é Liniane Haag Brum, sou doutora em teoria e crítica literária pela Unicamp e realizei a pesquisa de pós-doutorado “Contra o apagamento – o cinema de não ficção de Ugo Giorgetti” também na Unicamp, no Labjor, com o apoio da Fapesp. Essa pesquisa surgiu da descoberta de uma lacuna. Percebi que não havia nenhum estudo sobre a obra de não ficção de Giorgetti. Apesar de ela ser tão expressiva quanto a sua ficção, e mais extensa. MAYRA: E eu sou a Mayra Trinca, bióloga e mestra em Divulgação Científica e Cultural pelo Labjor. Você já deve me conhecer aqui do Oxigênio. Eu tô aqui pra apresentar esse episódio junto com a Liniane. Nele, vamos abordar os médias-metragens “Variações sobre um Quarteto de Cordas” e “Santana em Santana”. [Música de transição – tirar da abertura de “Variações Sobre um Quarteto de Cordas”] LINI: No primeiro episódio, apresentamos os documentários “Pizza” e “Em Busca da Pátria Perdida”, destacando os procedimentos e recursos de linguagem empregados pelo cineasta para retratar a complexidade da capital paulista. MAYRA: Em “Pizza”, as contradições de São Paulo surgem na investigação de pizzarias de diversas regiões, por meio de depoimentos de seus donos, funcionários, clientes e pizzaiolos. Já “Em Busca da Pátria Perdida” se concentra no bairro do Glicério, e registra a experiência de migrantes e imigrantes que encontram acolhida e fé na Igreja Nossa Senhora da Paz. Se você ainda não ouviu, é só procurar por “Ugo Giorgetti” no nosso site ou no seu agregador de podcasts. LINI: Nesse segundo episódio, vamos falar sobre dois médias-metragens: “Variações Sobre Um Quarteto de Cordas” e “Santana em Santana”, documentários que também são muito diferentes entre si, mas que tem um ponto crucial em comum. Vamos revelar como eles entrelaçam as trajetórias de vida de dois artistas, ao desenvolvimento da cidade de São Paulo. (pausa) Vinheta Oxigênio LINI: Se você não tem muita ligação com a música de câmara, seja tocando, estudando ou pesquisando o tema, é provável que nunca tenha ouvido falar em Johannes Olsner. “Variações Sobre Um Quarteto de Cordas” retrata a trajetória profissional desse violista que chegou no Brasil em 1939, vindo da Alemanha para uma turnê musical, e nunca mais voltou pra casa. MAYRA: Sobre esse documentário o crítico literário e musical Arthur Nestrovski escreveu o seguinte na Folha de São Paulo, em setembro de 2004: “O filme é muito simples. O que, no caso, é uma virtude: (…) a vida de Johannes Oelsner se confunde com a arte que praticou ao longo de quase 70 anos de carreira.” LINI: O violista alemão fez parte da formação inicial de músicos do que é hoje o Quarteto de Cordas da Cidade de São Paulo. [Música de transição – escolher excerto de “Variações Sobre um Quarteto de Cordas”] MAYRA: Talvez você esteja se perguntando o que é um quarteto de cordas… Vamos por partes: Um quarteto de cordas é uma das formações mais emblemáticas da música de câmara e reúne quatro instrumentistas em dois pares: dois violinos, uma viola e um violoncelo. [Entra música de fundo: escolher excerto de “Variações Sobre um Quarteto de Cordas”] [Sugestão – time code do Youtube – 09:32 até 10:42] A expressão “música de câmara” tem sua origem na “musica da câmera”, termo italiano que significa “música para a sala”. É originalmente um gênero de música erudita para ser tocada em ambientes privados e íntimos, como nos aposentos palacianos e gabinetes da aristocracia, – e não nas grandes salas de concerto. LINI: A música de câmara pode ter diferentes formações, como por exemplo um dueto ou um quinteto. Mas – sim! – o quarteto é a sua forma mais clássica. [Música de transição] Embora os quartetos de cordas se dediquem a um repertório de alto refinamento artístico, sua presença no Brasil é pouco comum. Foi pensando nisso que perguntei pra Ugo Giorgetti por que motivo ele decidiu fazer um documentário sobre um tema tão específico. Ouve só como foi a nossa conversa: LINI: Sobre o quarteto de cordas eu queria perguntar o seguinte: é um tema restrito? Fica um documentário mais assim, restrito, você acha? GIORGETTI: O Quarteto de Cordas é só um lado do documentário. Ele fala também de São Paulo, ele fala do Mário Andrade, ele fala do Prestes Maia, ele fala um monte de coisa. Ele fala da durabilidade do tempo, esse negócio se transformou em uma coisa que durou 37 anos tocando juntos. Esses caras envelheceram juntos. [Música de transição – trecho de “Variações Sobre um Quarteto de Cordas”] GIORGETTI: Quando eu fiz o documentário, esse quarteto já não existia mais naquela forma original. Já passou por outras formas, mas é sempre o Quarteto de Cordas do município de São Paulo. Então, nenhuma coisa é tão fechada assim. MAYRA: Retomando a trajetória de Johannes Olsner: sua formação como músico erudito começou cedo e se deu por meio do aprendizado do violino. Foi só mais tarde, quando já tocava profissionalmente, que ele chegou à viola que lhe acompanhou ao longo da vida. Escuta o próprio Johannes falando um pouco sobre isso: [trecho do documentário] – Johannes Olsner: Estudei primeiro violino, comecei com 9 anos o violino, então eu me apresentei no Conservatório Real de Dresden. Aí quem me ouviu foi o grande professor Henri Marteau, francês. Depois, com 13 anos, me deram uma bolsa de estudo integral. Eu me formei, depois ganhei o meu diploma, etc, etc. Isso foi em 1935, até 1937. [trecho de MOZART em violino] LINI: O violista já tocava no prestigioso Quarteto Fritzsche de Dresden, ainda na Alemanha, quando recebeu a notícia que iria sair em turnê para as Américas. No dia 9 de março de 1939, aos 24 anos, ele e seus parceiros musicais pegaram um navio, em Bremen, também na Alemanha. [Efeito de som do mar] Primeira parada: Panamá, por três dias. Depois Argentina, onde tocaram na escola alemã e permaneceram por semanas a fio. Em seguida Montevidéu, onde fizeram quatro concertos. E, finalmente, aportaram no Rio de Janeiro. [Efeito de som do mar] [trecho do documentário] – Johannes Olsner: Chegamos dia 26 de julho de 1939, com bastante atraso, mas aqui no Brasil. LINI: Veio a Segunda Guerra, ele e os colegas permaneceram em terras brasileiras. [trecho do documentário] – Johannes Olsner: A gente pode dizer mesmo o Deus é brasileiro, né? Eu tive sorte lá, com entrar no Quarteto e tudo assim, mas aqui, olha que, eu sempre digo para todos vocês que são brasileiros natos: pode ficar contente, porque é a melhor terra que tem. Fora de tudo que tem, olha que, é a melhor terra que tem. LINI: Olsner criou raízes em São Paulo. Em 1944, mesmo ano em que se casou, entrou para o Quarteto Haydn. MAYRA: O Quarteto Haydn do Departamento de Cultura de São Paulo representa a fase inicial e histórica do que hoje é o Quarteto de Cordas da Cidade de São Paulo. Sua origem remonta a 1935, quando foi fundado por iniciativa de Mário de Andrade, que na época era o diretor do Departamento. A formação respondia a um antigo anseio do escritor, crítico musical, ensaísta e professor de música. Entre outras tantas lutas culturais, Mário de Andrade acabou se tornando um verdadeiro paladino da construção de uma cultura musical consciente e autônoma para o Brasil. A rememoração de Oelsner dá indícios dessa efervescência: EXCERTO MÁRIO DE ANDRADE: Oelsner: Um dos primeiros concertos, me lembro, era em frente do Teatro Municipal, a velas. E então, aí o Mário, como disse, como assistiu todos os concertos, um dia ele chegou também. Ele dizia, seria possível tocar uma vez com o nosso quarteto aqui do teatro, do departamento. Então, como eu já falei para o senhor, fizemos o quarteto de Mendelssohn [trecho do quarteto de Mendelssohn do documentário Variações(continuação do texto acima) ] LINI: Pausa para um esclarecimento. Você lembra que no primeiro episódio a gente falou da presença da literatura na obra de não ficção de Giorgetti? Pois é, “Variações sobre um quarteto de cordas” também revela essa face do diretor paulista. Na entrevista com Oeslner, ele não disfarça o interesse pelo escritor brasileiro Mário de Andrade. [trecho do documentário] Ugo Giorgetti: O senhor lembra do bem do Mário de Andrade? Oelsner: Sim, nós éramos amigos, que infelizmente eu tinha mais contato com ele de 44, quando eu entrei no departamento, até 45, e pobre Mário morreu em 45. Ugo Giorgetti Como ele era? Oelsner: Sempre alegre, sempre disposto, e qualquer coisa que o senhor disse, uma novidade, o senhor dizia, vamos ver. Sim, sim, sim. E marcava quanto se podia fazer. O Mário era formidável. LINI: Eu perguntei ao diretor se ele de fato – abre aspas “perseguiu” – a presença e a figura de Mário de Andrade, na entrevista com o Oelsner. Ele respondeu que sim. E fez o seguinte relato: [trecho do documentário] Ugo Giorgetti: Eu considero o Mário de Andrade o maior intelectual de São Paulo, de todos os tempos, porque ele era um grande poeta. Tem poemas que são fantásticos, citei um num artigo que escrevi sobre Abujamra, um poema dele, que dizia, “eu sou 300, sou 350, mas um dia eu toparei comigo.” Ele era um músico, ele dava aula no Instituto de Arte Dramática, professor, ele era um etnógrafo, ele saia pelo Brasil cantando folclore, ele era um professor, claro, político, na boa fase, na boa forma de político. Ele foi o primeiro secretário de Cultura de São Paulo. Eu procuro o Mário de Andrade, onde é possível achar. Eu tenho contos dele, o que ele escreveu para jornais, ele escreveu para jornais também, era um cronista, um cara fantástico. MAYRA: Johannes Olsner cultivou laços com Mário de Andrade e também com personalidades como os compositores e regentes Heitor Villa-Lobos e Camargo Guarnieri. Além disso, executou peças com as pianistas Guiomar Novaes e Magdalena Tagliaferro. Durante a formação mais longeva do Quarteto, de 1944 a 1979, ele tocou com Gino Alfonsi no primeiro violino, Alexandre Schaffman no segundo e Calixto Corazza no violoncelo. LINI: A gente pode dizer que Johannes Olsner é o biografado do documentário. Mas também podemos afirmar que essa peça audiovisual é um testemunho. Por meio de um único depoimento, o média-metragem: flagra o nascimento do Quarteto de Cordas da Cidade de São Paulo, – que é também um registro do florescimento da vida cultural e do desenvolvimento da capital paulista. MAYRA: Vislumbra uma linhagem de músicos alemães surgida em Dresden, berço musical em um dos momentos mais ricos, inovadores e contraditórios do Ocidente. LINI: Testemunha os efeitos da Segunda Guerra Mundial, quando centenas de cidadãos alemães se viram obrigados a imigrar para sobreviver. Esse ponto não está explícito no relato de Olsner, mas as imagens do documentário fazem referência ao fato. MAYRA: Revela a devoção de Johannes Olsner à música. LINI: Mesmo depois de aposentado, Johannes Olsner seguiu trabalhando como músico. Na época da gravação do documentário, em 2003, lecionava no Conservatório Villa Lobos, em Osasco, e tocava em eventos e festas de casamento. Ele jamais considerou parar com suas atividades musicais. Faleceu aos 94 anos, em São Paulo, no ano de 2010. [Bloco 2: documentário “Santana em Santana”] LINI: Santana em Santana, de 2007, foi realizado a partir de um edital da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura que visava a realização do projeto “História dos bairros de São Paulo”. A ideia por trás da chamada pública era fomentar o mapeamento audiovisual da capital paulista, por meio de documentários sobre os bairros que a compõem. MAYRA: Ugo Giorgetti, com sua produtora, a SP Filmes de São Paulo, foi selecionado com o projeto de documentário que propunha explorar a história do seu bairro de origem: Santana, localizado na zona norte da capital paulista. [Ruído de passagem de cena] LINI: Santana em Santana: de cara dá pra perceber que o título escolhido pelo cineasta é tanto uma provocação existencial e poética, quanto um convite à interpretação. MAYRA: A gente se pergunta: como assim Santana EM Santana? Existe um bairro dentro do bairro original? Isso seria um erro de grafia ou uma pista? Ou apenas um jogo linguístico para atrair a atenção do espectador? [Ruído de passagem de cena] LINI: Pois é, eu questionei o Ugo Giorgetti sobre o que o título do filme pretende revelar. Sua resposta acabou mostrando as motivações por trás do projeto original. Além, é claro, de elucidar esse “mistério”… Ele disse: UGO GIORGETTI: Bom, eu fiz pelo seguinte, também eu quis fazer. Se Santana realmente correspondia à minha concepção que eu tinha dela. Por quê? Porque eu ia na casa do meu irmão… Eu vou sempre na casa do meu irmão. Toda a vez que eu ia na casa dele, às vezes eu ia à noite, às vezes de dia, eu tinha a impressão que não tinha sobrado pedra sobre pedra do meu bairro. Era uma coisa sórdida, vulgar, ridícula, todas as construções iguais, uma coisa cafajeste, não sobrou nada do cinema, nada de nada. Eu não falava com ele sobre isso porque ele morava lá, ele também não falava. Então ficou essa ideia que estava cimentada na minha cabeça. E, para a minha surpresa, quando eu fiz o documentário, eu vi que não só restavam coisas, mas que restava muita coisa. Uma pessoa como eu, que conhecia muito bem o bairro, eu andava para aquele bairro o tempo todo, você procurando os lugares que você ia, em geral, eu achava o lugar. Não só achava o lugar, como alguns lugares intactos. [Ruído de passagem de cena: um carro passando] MAYRA: A escolha da linguagem cinematográfica mostra também esse interesse pessoal pelo tema. O principal recurso usado em Variações sobre Um Quarteto de Cordas se repete em Santana em Santana: o depoimento de um único artista, nesse caso, o próprio Giorgetti. Em Santana em Santana Ugo não é apenas o cineasta, mas assume também a posição de narrador-apresentador. Na cena que abre a narrativa, você vê um ambiente despojado, o diretor atrás de uma escrivaninha olhando para a câmera e falando o seguinte texto: [trecho do documentário Santana em Santana] Ugo Giorgetti: Santana sob o ponto de vista da história, do fato histórico, não é relevante, não há nada na história de Santana, que eu saiba, que mereça um registro significativo. Santana é uma região que fica ao norte da cidade, dividida pelo Tietê. Isto é, o Tietê é a primeira fronteira dela, que separa Santana da cidade. E o início dela, é o início mais ou menos costumeiro dos bairros de São Paulo. Quer dizer, é uma grande quantidade de terra, ocupada por uma associação entre o Estado, a Igreja e ricos proprietários. . Evidentemente essas proporções foram se desfazendo depois, principalmente os ricos proprietários, e se tornou um bairro, conforme ele se configurou, a partir de 1942”. LINI: A fala do cineasta sugere que o documentário vai investigar a história do bairro Santana. No entanto, à medida que a narrativa avança, o que se vê na tela é um percurso afetivo que pouco tem a ver com acontecimentos verificáveis, dados e informações precisas. Santana em Santana revela o cineasta à procura de sua própria história… MAYRA: Em cena, a escola que frequentou na primeira juventude, o Mirante de Santana, o cinema de bairro que hoje é shopping center. LINI: Ouve só como também é revelador esse trecho da conversa que tive com ele: GIORGETTI – O filme que mais me impactou que eu vi lá em Santa Ana foi um filme de 1960. Eu tinha 18 anos. É um filme maravilhoso não pelo, digamos assim, valor cinematográfico, é pequeno o valor cinematográfico, mas porque era um filme chamado O Julgamento de Nuremberg; o casting era inacreditável: Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift. Lini: É um bom filme. Ugo: Pô! MAYRA: Em entrevista, o diretor também expôs a importância do processo de produção do documentário, para o tema de que ele trata: GIORGETTI: Tem alguns planos nesse filme que eu gosto muito. Tem um plano que eu acho que é muito bom, que é um plano numa tempestade. Eu falei, se prepara que vai chover, se prepara que vai ter uma puta tempestade que ocorre nesse bairro. E, de repente, o que eu acho curioso é que, no meio da tempestade, o bairro ficou um bairro. Tudo ficou um pouco impreciso, como se o tempo tivesse passado, porém deixou como um quadro impressionista, contornos no meio daquela névoa da tempestade. Daí eu reconheci o bairro. Daí eu falei, esse é Santana. Casas meio aparecendo, outras não. Uma coisa mais na sombra, outra coisa mais evidente. Ficou muito legal aquilo. Mas tem outras coisas. Tem o meu irmão voltando da feira. Não sei se você viu. Ele está identificado como… Lini: Não, não. Ah, então eu não identifiquei. Acho que foi uma cena muito de passagem. É, o cara voltando da feira. O maestro Mauro Giorgetti com uma puta de uma cesta. Ele nem viu que ele estava lá. MAYRA: Essa atitude artística de Giorgetti em Santana em Santana, de individualizar a narrativa, ao invés de elucidar fatos e discursar sobre eles, faz parte de um – digamos – estilo. Segundo o diretor, ele nunca trata realmente do tema que se anuncia; ele afirma que o seu mote é, abre aspas, “ter sempre uma coisa que vista a cidade (…) você pensa que tá vendo uma coisa, mas é outra”. LINI: Ou seja, de acordo com o diretor, no fundo ele está sempre tratando de São Paulo. [Pausa.] OK, como você ouviu lá no primeiro episódio, é preciso considerar a visão do artista sobre seu próprio trabalho. Mas sem tirar de foco aquilo que a obra, ela mesma, mostra. No caso, o documentário – sobretudo – ativa a memória do diretor e a projeta no presente. Essa projeção oferece ao espectador uma realidade construída por um discurso que é uma espécie de auto-perscrutação dos primeiros anos de vida do artista em contato com a cidade. [Efeito sonoro de tráfego em cidade: buzinas, carros, ruídos de fundo] LINI: Uma investigação a partir do subjetivo…que é também um documento…. [trecho do documentário Santana em Santana] Ugo Giorgetti: Por isso que eu tento fazer uma coisa que deixe, pelo menos, uma impressão do mundo que eu vivi. Eu não estou fazendo poesia, não estou fazendo filmes fora, cabeça, mensagem. Isso não é comigo. [Efeito sonoro de tráfego em cidade: buzinas, carros, ruídos de fundo.] MAYRA: O roteiro desse episódio foi escrito pela Liniane Haag Brum, que também realizou as entrevistas. A revisão do roteiro foi feita por mim, Mayra Trinca, que também apresento o episódio. LINI: A pesquisa de pós-doutorado teve orientação do professor Carlos Vogt, e seu resultado é objeto de meu trabalho no âmbito do Programa Mídia Ciência, do Labjor, com supervisão da Simone Pallone. As reportagens referentes à divulgação de “Contra o apagamento, o cinema de não ficção de Ugo Giorgetti”, foram publicadas no dossiê “Ugo Giorgetti” da Revista ComCiência. A gente vai deixar o link e a ficha técnica dos documentários na descrição do episódio. LINI: A edição de áudio foi feita pela Carolaine Cabral e a vinheta do Oxigênio é do Elias Mendez. MAYRA: Este episódio tem o apoio da Diretoria Executiva de Apoio e Permanência, da Unicamp e da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, a FAPESP, por meio de bolsas e também da Secretaria Executiva de Comunicação da Unicamp.

Character actor extraordinaire Edmond O'Brien's insurance investigator is actually the focus in Robert Siodmak's The Killers, but Burt Lancaster is quite powerful in his big-screen debut. And then there's the stunning Ava Gardner as the devious femme fatale. The entire cast is solid, the story is layered in its flashback structure (which is similar to Citizen Kane), plus, the main insurance-claim storyline is similar to what happens in Double Indemnity. And it all works really well. So steal money from your fellow thieves as the 712th podcast on Have You Ever Seen looks at the sinister intrigue and sudden violence in The Killers.

Travelling avant sur le Guépard, il Gattopardo de Luchino Visconti sorti en 1963. Le film est adapté du livre du même nom, le succès littéraire et posthume de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa sorti en librairie en 1958. De ce chef-dʹœuvre littéraire, Visconti tire une fresque romanesque, une tragédie des grandes familles, immobiles, confrontées à la révolution. Cʹest un film sur lʹécoulement du temps et lʹéboulement des repères. En voyant ce quʹen fait Visconti, tout en magnificence, le public ne peut quʹéprouver de lʹempathie pour le prince, pour le guépard, le surnom du prince Salina joué par Burt Lancaster confronté à la révolution de Garibaldi. Il sʹenthousiasme et la critique aussi. Le Guépard remporte la Palme dʹOr au festival de Cannes en 1963. Mais les réalisateurs italiens attaquent Luchino Visconti. Ils renient le cinéaste, le conspuent. Ils préfèrent le voir dans la case néo-réaliste. Ils reprochent au film son académisme, des anachronismes, trop dʹesthétisme. Visconti nʹen a cure et porte son film malgré les accusations de ses pairs. Il a fait au mieux pour faire un beau film, ignorant parfois les réalités historiques et autobiographiques. Le Guépard est souvent réduit à sa beauté. Ne nous leurrons pas, cʹest un bijou du cinéma. Burt Lancaster y est rayonnant. Claudia Cardinale lumineuse. Alain Delon très jeune premier. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà entrer dans lʹhistoire, en nous dépêchant, car la révolution italienne est déjà en marche.

EPISODE 121 - “RICHARD BASEHART: CLASSIC STAR OF THE MONTH” - 1/05/2026 RICHARD BASEHART wasn't the flashiest of actors, but he certainly was one of the most versatile. He always brought such haunting depth and emotional intensity to his roles, often portraying characters teetering on the edge of psychological turmoil. With his piercing blue eyes and floppy blonde hair, his sensitive, brooding presence gave him the appearance of an erudite or a poet. And that voice! He had a fantastic baritone voice that could convey both vulnerability and menace. He really excelled at playing sensitive, troubled men—sometimes deeply introspective, other times psychotic or dangerously unhinged. From his chilling portrayal of the deranged killer in “He Walked by Night” (1948) to the tormented clown in FEDERICO FELLINI's “La Strada” (1954), Basehart always infused each performance with a profound humanity, sensitivity, and quiet strength, making him one of the most compelling and underrated actors of his generation. This week we honor him as our January Star of the Month.

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into The Killers (1946), the classic film noir starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner, as we review its Criterion Collection release. We break down what makes Robert Siodmak's adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway story a cornerstone of film noir, from its fatalistic tone and fractured structure to its iconic performances and lasting influence on the genre. We also share brief thoughts on the 1964 version of The Killers, discussing how it differs in style and approach without turning the episode into a full comparison. A must-listen for noir fans and Criterion collectors alike.Oh Brother Podcast: Support the Show!

Happy holidays! On the fifty- fourth episode of ATFT, film historian/ author/ lecturer Max Alvarez is back to join me in analyzing Billy Wilder's 1960 comedy- drama masterpiece, The Apartment! This episode is spoiler- filled. The Apartment has been described by many as one of the greatest of all time, film- wise, and is regarded as the peak of Billy Wilder who had been making a string of masterpieces starting with Double Indemnity (1944), which was the focus of the previous episode. The Apartment revolves around C.C. Baxter (Jack Lemmon), a people- pleasing insurance agent, who is taken advantage of by his bosses most nights after work as they occupy his apartment to spend time with their mistresses. All the while, Baxter has a crush on the “best elevator girl in the building” Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine) whose mind is elsewhere, specifically on her married ex, and C.C.'s big boss, Jeff D. Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray). When Sheldrake begins to get in on the action to use Baxter's apartment to be with Fran, the film takes a dramatic turn on the night before Christmas. The Apartment went on to win five out of the ten Oscar categories, including Best Picture. This is one of my favorite films and it has become a tradition of mine to watch the film on Christmas night, after Fanny and Alexander. Max will be leading a Q&A after a screening of Robert Wise's 1958 noir film Odds Against Tomorrow at New Plaza Cinema in NYC on Sunday, December 21 at 12:15 pm where he'll be joined by Dan Cahill and, a special guest, Harry Belefonte's widow Pamela will be in attendance. Get your tickets now by clicking here! You can also watch previous Talk Back lectures led by Max, including one on The Apartment, on that same website or on the New Plaza Cinema YouTube channel. Max also gives the occasional online lecture at the Smithsonian Institute. His most recent lecture was focused on Burt Lancaster but click here to learn of Max's upcoming lectures. Before we closed out the episode, Max shared an update on his directorial feature film debut Noirfilm which is expected to be in post- production this Spring! This is Max's third appearance on ATFT! His most recent appearance was last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Chinatown with an analytical discussion, but my interview with Max was actually the first wide- released episode of the show! I had been wanting to record another episode with Max this year and I actually asked him to join a prior analytical episode but I was surprised to learn he wasn't a big fan of the film. With all the technical difficulties this year, this episode came together pretty quickly but I'm thrilled with the result because I believe this is one of the best episodes of the year. I'm thrilled to end another year of All the Film Things by discussing this film I hold so dear with Max. This episode was recorded on December 4, 2025. In this episode, Max and I talk about how The Apartment anticipates the New Hollywood era, the tightrope Wilder walks between comedy and drama, and the significance of setting the film around the holiday season. While Max recounts his experience attending a screening of the film with Billy Wilder, Fred MacMurray, and I.A.L Diamond in attendance, I take any chance I get to boast about Shirley MacLaine's tremendous performance as Fran Kubelik. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Music credit: Rudolph by Lukrembo | https://soundcloud.com/lukrembo Free To Use | https://freetouse.com/music Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com
James Cameron-Wilson says that box office, despite a WoW drop of 17%, is still very healthy. #5 Eternity depicts an afterlife where souls must pick their preferred eternity. Although a comic parable where a woman must choose with which man to spend the afterlife, it fails to work on several levels. James, disappointed by the ending, was not moved. He found the Blu-Ray release of 1954's Apache, directed by Robert Aldrich and starring Burt Lancaster to be a fascinating insight into attitudes of the time. Although at the forefront of those films more sympathetically depicting Native Americans, Lancaster is an unpleasant and hugely misogynistic character while the movie is highly patronising by current standards. James was much keener on Netflix's Jay Kelly, Noah Baumbach's film of a film actor not hugely dissimilar to George Clooney, played by George Clooney, only more unpleasant and egotistical. It has many wonderful scenes, should resonate with many and James loved it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan del II premio "Almirante Cristóbal Colón" y Vencedores o vencidos con Antolín de la Torre. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: II premio "Almirante Cristóbal Colón" La importancia de España en el mar y en la navegación es innegable tanto en el pasado como en el presente. Hablamos de ello con motivo del II premio "Almirante Cristóbal Colón" que la Real Academia del Mar española ha entregado a la Asociación de Ingenieros navales y oceánicos de España en una ceremonia que tuvo lugar el viernes 28 de noviembre en la Cámara de Oficiales de la Armada. La Real Academia de la Mar es una organización que tiene como objetivo ensalzar la cultura y la tradición marítima de España y la defensa de los intereses de nuestro país en el mar, aunando las aspiraciones de nuestras cuatro marinas: Armada, Mercante, de Pesca y Deportiva. Entrevistamos al excelentísimo señor don Cristóbal Colón de Carvajal y Gorosábel, 18º duque de Veragua, grande de España, 18º marqués de Jamaica, 20º almirante de la Mar Océana y adelantado mayor de las Indias, que fue el encargado de entregar el galardón. Madrileño pero con una historia vital absolutamente ligada al mar, como capitán de fragata y 20º descendiente del descubridor de América. Acaba de lanzar en Amazon una novela de profundo espíritu marítimo: 'La premonición de Adela'. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre "¿Vencedores o vencidos?" (Judgment at Nuremberg). Película estadounidense de 1961 producida y dirigida por Stanley Kramer con un reparto coral de estrellas estadounidenses y europeas entre las que figuran: Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark, Marlene Dietrich, Maximilian Schell, Judy Garland y Montgomery Clift. Plasma los históricos juicios de Núremberg con la perspectiva de haber sido filmada apenas 15 años después del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Der Name Yorgos Pan Cosmatos klingt zwar so griechisch wie Feta, Ouzo und Sirtaki, der werte Herr stammt allerdings aus dem schönen Florenz und feierte seine größten Erfolge in den USA mit Krachern wie RAMBO 2 (1985), COBRA (1986) und TOMBSTONE (1993). Doch bis es dazu kam, backte Mister Cosmatos in europäischen Gefilden kleinere Pitas. Für HEISSKALTES BLUT (The Beloved/Sin, 1971) konnte er mit Raquel Welch gleich einen veritablen Megastar gewinnen, um seine Variation einer klassischen Tragödie zu erzählen. Weniger fühlig, aber ebenso harsch ist DAS MASSAKER – DER FALL KAPPLER (aka Rapressaglia – Tödlicher Irrtum, 1973) geraten, in der sich Richard Burton als strammer Nazi-Offizier ungewollt für ein grausames Kriegsverbrechen verantwortlich zeichnet. Und selbst der mit Richard Harris, Sophia Loren, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Martin Sheen und Officer Nordberg stargespickte CASSANDRA CROSSING – TREFFPUNKT TODESBRÜCKE (1976) geht dahin, wo es weh tut. Etwas leichter wird es erst im abenteuerlichen FLUCHT NACH ATHENA (1979), in dem Roger Moore den britischsten Nazi aller Zeiten spielen darf, dessen Charme selbst Elliot Gould, Richard Roundtree und David Niven den Kopf verdreht. Dazu gibt's jede Menge Zoten, Explosionen, Kojak und die hinreißende Claudia Cardinale in Liebe und Tanz vereint. Herz, was willst du mehr?

Ernest Hemingway's short story The Killers was memorably adapted and expanded for the big screen by director Robert Siodmak and an incredible cast. We'll hear the stars of that film - plus a radio recreation - as our "Noirvember" series continues. Ava Gardner slows down for a hitchhiker with murder on his mind in "Lady in Distress" (originally aired on CBS on May 1, 1947). Edmond O'Brien is a streetwise reporter out for the story of the year in "The Argyle Album" (originally aired on CBS on September 4, 1947). Burt Lancaster is in no hurry to get revenge for his brother in "The Long Wait" (originally aired on CBS on November 24, 1949). And the titular killers William Conrad and Charles McGraw reunite in "Two for the Road" (originally aired on CBS on November 9, 1958). Finally, Burt Lancaster reprises his role as The Screen Director's Playhouse presents "The Killers" (originally aired on NBC on June 5, 1949).
"All you've got to know is this: right now the government of the United States is sitting on top of the Washington Monument, right on the very point, tipping right and left and ready to fall off and break up on the pavement. There are just a handful of men who can prevent that. And you're one of them."Welcome to the seventh episode of our ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.On this Fascism on Film episode, the Holmes Brothers look at the John Frankenheimer film Seven Days In May, starring Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Kirk Douglas, Edmund O'Brien and Fredric March. Written by the great and legendary Rod Serling, this political thriller is about a military coup/cabal headed by Lancaster's character: US Air Force General James Mattoon Scott, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This conspiracy plans to overthrow the government and replace the unpopular President Jordan Lyman with General Scott. Kirk Douglas's Colonel Martin 'Jiggs' Casey and US Senator Ray Clark try to stop the cabal before it is put into effect in seven days. Though released in the 1960s in the wake of the Kennedy Assassination and McCarthyism, this very topical film is an exciting picture and worth a watch. A suspenseful and fun film from Frankenheimer and it's bolstered by a strong screenplay from Serling and its talented all star cast. We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos.

Gather around the firepit, fair listener, as we bring you the tale of a prisoner whose criminal history was as illustrious as his love of birds.Robert Stroud was convicted of manslaughter and murder, but may be better known for the birds he raised and sold while an inmate at Leavenworth penitentiary. Stroud wrote two books about birds during his incarceration and gained respect among bird-lovers. That incongruity — a violent prisoner caring for these fragile animals — brought Hollywood to his prison door.“Birdman of Alcatraz,” starring Burt Lancaster, brought Stroud a nickname and more notoriety, even though he wasn't allowed to raise birds while an inmate at the island prison.In our 12th (and spookiest) episode this season, author Jolene Babyak helps us peel back Stroud's upbringing, psyche and journey through the prison system as we look into how Stroud became the complicated criminal he's now known to be.This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel. Intro music by The Dead Pens. Editorial staff is Ryan Abbott, Sean Duffy and Jamie Ross.

Stéphane Boudsocq salue la carrière et la vie de Claudia Cardinale, qui s'est éteinte en famille mardi 23 septembre, chez elle à Nemours à l'âge de 87 ans. Le film "Le guépard" de Luchino Visconti en 1963 est selon lui le parfait symbole de ce qu'a représenté la comédienne... C'est à la fois Visconti, Alain Delon et Burt Lancaster, l'Italie, la France et Hollywood... Claudia Cardinale durant plus de 60 ans aura promené sa beauté farouche, son caractère bien trempé sur les plateaux européens et américains, enchainant des classiques comme "Rocco et ses frères", "Cartouche", "Huit et demi", "Il était une fois dans l'Ouest" ou "Les pétroleuses" en 1971 avec celle qu'on avait présenté (à tort) comme sa rivale : Brigitte Bardot...Hébergé par Audiomeans.

A firecracker that initially fizzled with audiences but has increasingly crackled with succeeding generations of film lovers, Sweet Smell of Success today boasts a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Defying genre expectations, it has been described in the media as a film noir, a crime thriller, a comedy, a satire, a character study, and a drama. By any measure, this poison pen letter to the glitzy world of big city show business is bracing and entertaining. It features pungent dialogue, a ripping jazz score, balls-out performances from enthusiastically unlikeable characters played by Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, and top-notch location work in 1950s New York City strikingly shot in black and white. Can our panel of young film-lovers relate to this bygone world of martini-drinking, cigarette-smoking, woman-exploiting men on the make? Or will the not-so-sweet smell drive them away?

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

The tenth year Stars on Suspense kicks off with my favorite installments of "radio's outstanding theatre of thrills" from 1948!

Then, Burt Lancaster is a tough guy with murder on his mind in "The Big Shot" (originally aired on CBS on September 9, 1948) and Edward G. Robinson plays both himself and "The Man Who Wanted to Be Edward G. Robinson" (originally aired on CBS on September 30, 1948). Lucille Ball is a hold-up artist who rolls the wrong victim in "A Little Piece of Rope" (originally aired on CBS on October 14, 1948), and Vincent Price and Claude Rains co-star in a story of a murderer preying on the city of London in "The Hands of Mr. Ottermole" (originally aired on CBS on December 2, 1948).

The Summer of Submarines joins forces with Old Movie Club to take on 1958’s “Run Silent, Run Deep,” starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. It’s a tense thriller that has inspired sub and sci-fi movies for many decades. Erika’s gleeful reaction to the film’s abrupt ending may surprise you! Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Philip Michaels, Shelly Brisbin, Dan Moren and Casey Liss.
This time, Stanwyck is an invalid, who’s having trouble with her phone. I would call it a straight-up female victim tale, but Babs is not what you’d call sympathetic as a character. Even so, should her husband (Burt Lancaster) be plotting her death? Shelly Brisbin with David J. Loehr, Micheline Maynard, Nathan Alderman and Randy Dotinga.

EPISODE 95 - “VIRGINIA GREY: Classic Cinema Star of the Month” - 7/07/25 If VIRGINIA GREY is remembered at all, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty is probably best remembered as the caustic perfume counter girl in The Women (1939), who sees right through the gold-digging ways of Crystal Allen, played by JOAN CRAWFORD. In these brief scenes, she is so charismatic and saucy, she really shows how to deliver a zinger of a line. She may also be remembered as the good luck charm of producer ROSS HUNTER, who put her in many of his popular movies of the mid-1950s and 1960s. But there was so much more to this talented actress. This week, we explore her life and career as we honor her as our Star of the Month.

Peter Capaldi – aka Malcolm Tucker, Dr Who, the universal screen delight and an Oscar-winning film director – was the singer in the punk band the Dreamboys in the late ‘70s who put out a single when he was at the art school in Glasgow. And then became an actor. And then - in the grand tradition of actors who've made albums, Hugh Laurie, Scarlett Johansson, Jeff Bridges and Keanu Reeves among them – released St Christopher in 2021. He's just recorded a second, Sweet Illusions, and talks to us in this extremely funny and entertaining pod about … … how his sole motivation was “a burning desire to be on the telly”. … the difference between fronting bands and being in plays. … how he grievously stitched up support band the Cocteau Twins at a gig in Grangemouth. … a teenage love of Slade - “a bit terrifying but still a bit safe”. … first-hand evidence of the connection between Blakey from On the Buses, Adolph Hitler and Beatles. … “you have to write a hundred songs before you can write a good one”. … arriving at art school in '76 a Neil Young fan and his overnight transformation – “peroxide hair, PVC trousers and bright red crepe sole shoes”. … seeing Simple Minds at the Mars Bar in Glasgow, Jim Kerr with his Shakespearian haircut, “strange, powerful, imaginative, post-glam”. … forming the Dreamboys and “trying to be big, clever and Kafka-esque”. … the stigma of being virtually the only band in Glasgow not to get a John Peel session. … writing the “bizarro pulp” lyrics for the Dreamboys – “we couldn't decide if we were the Cramps or Talking Heads”. … what's required, “apart from a terrible Scouse accent”, in playing John Lennon onstage and George Harrison onscreen. … auditioning (comedian, actor, TV host) Craig Ferguson as the band's drummer. … how Bill Forsyth launched his acting career: “one minute you're supporting Altered Images, the next in a movie with Burt Lancaster”. … forming a duo with Keanu Reeves when filming Dangerous Liaisons in Paris – powdered wigs in the daytime, guitar/bass punk-thrash at night. .. the romantic Edward Hopper charm of Glasgow in the ‘70s - proto-goths, street lights, rain. … how Dr Robert of the Blow Monkeys and four months filming The Suicide Squad in Atlanta spurred him into writing songs. … the greatest record of all time.
