Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today, we dive into the career of the stunning and stunningly talented Penélope Cruz. The indelible actress broke on to the scene in 1992 with Jamón Jamón, followed a few years later by her first collaboration with Pedro Almodóvar in Live Flesh. Soon enough, Cruz was in Hollywood pictures like Blow and The Hi-Lo Country. Our B-Sides include: Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Chromophobia, Twice Born, and this year's The 355. Joining us today is returning guest Katharine Clark Gray of Uncompromised Creative. Gray is a writer for the Wait What network, and was part of the team recently awarded two Webby Awards for the episode “President Barack Obama: When the moment chooses you, part 1.” We discuss the early, predictable type-casting of Cruz in Hollywood, the unfortunate failure of some of those earlier studio pictures (All The Pretty Horses in particular), her enduring range as a performer, and the hope to see her in more comedies (Official Competition coming soon!)

More recently Stephen scored DNA, which received a César Award nomination for Best Original Score, Uncle Vanya starring Toby Jones and Richard Armitage, and The Children Act starring Emma Thompson and Stanley Tucci. Stephen also composes for theatre and I first met him at the National Theatre where we worked together on This House, a play by Jeremy Herrin.

This week, Nathan and Clint go it alone to compare two strange curios in Travolta and Cage’s respective careers — Nora Ephron’s post-Battlefield Earth comedy flop Lucky Numbers and the painfully-earnest romantic war drama Captain Corelli’s Mandolin! While it got a critical drubbing upon release (no small thanks to the lingering stink of Travolta’s Terl), Lucky Numbers surprisingly holds up as a pitch-black comedy — with a script by Death to Smoochy’s Adam Resnick — about a down-on-his-luck local weatherman (Travolta) who teams up with the ditzy but scheming lotto girl (Lisa Kudrow) to rig the state lottery. It feels a lot like Fargo if everyone was William H. Macy, and every cast member, including Travolta’s sniveling showman, is in goofily top form. The same can’t be said for Captain Corellian’s Mandalorian, a weepy adaptation of the Louis de Bernières novel about an Italian soldier (Cage, slathering on the alfredo in his halting accent) who falls in love with a Greek girl (Penelope Cruz, similarly lost at sea with her accent work) amidst their occupation of a saintly little island during World War II. Christian Bale and John Hurt are here too, and for two-plus hours you’re just scratching your head wondering why Shakespeare in Love director John Madden (the one who isn’t the former spokesman for ACE Hardware) didn’t just put this awkward, messy epic in subtitles.

Front Row pays tribute to Les Murray, Australia’s foremost contemporary poet, who died today aged 80. Unlike famous compatriots such as Germaine Greer and Clive James, Murray stayed in Australia and spent his last years on the farm in Bunyah, New South Wales, that had been his family’s home. Murray reacted against modernism, believing poetry should be accessible. He wrote poems about Australian people, animals and landscape in plain, lively and demotic language and so became known as the country’s Australia’s bush-bard. His books were always dedicated ‘to the glory of God’. Louis de Berniere’s best-selling novel, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin has been adapted for the stage and will be touring the UK. Sam Marlowe joins Samira to review the play and discuss how it compares with the book (and the film).
