Join Tyler as he talks about a surprsingly strong year for the best film West Side Story and the nominees Fanny, Judgement at Nuremberg, The Hustler and The Guns of Navaronne. And listen as he talks about the life of the powerhouse known as Rita Moreno.
Can a war film also be a comfort film? This month we're exploring that question. First up this week, special guest Martin Harries of Film Vs. Film Podcast joins us to discuss one of his favorite comfort picks and a perennial rewatch around the holidays with family, The Guns of Navarone. We talk about the paradox of comforting war films; Carl Foreman's script, which placed mythmaking far above historical fact; J. Lee Thompson's directing style, which balanced blockbuster action sequences with philosophical and moral quandaries; the stellar cast, featuring David Niven, Anthony Quinn, and Gregory Peck in a surprisingly morally grey role; and we make connections between The Guns of Navarone and the many films that borrowed from its formula, including The Dirty Dozen, Star Wars, the James Bond films, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Join our team of specialized film analysts and come on a mission with us!
Film Historians Julie Kirgo and Alan K Rode join the podcast to traverse the dusty trails and moral complexities of the timeless Western "High Noon." The new 4K UHD release from Kino Lorber is highlighted by their new audio commentaries and we get a preview of their insights into what makes this film so enduring. Along the way we explore screenwriter Carl Foreman and the Hollywood Blacklist, why Gary Cooper was the right choice for the part of Marshall Will Kane, Katie Jurado's portrayal as a strong, independent Mexican woman, Fred Zinnemann's direction, Floyd Crosby's cinematography, Dimitri Tiomkin's score, and the wealth of character actors that fill out the movie.

It may have all the aesthetics of a big, burly action epic, but don't get it twisted: The Bridge on the River Kwai is a nuanced, character-based drama, and a philosophical rumination on the absurdities of human nature. In the end, this is a film that's unafraid to ask questions without obvious answers. We'll circle back to that in a bit. For anyone who's never experienced this cinematic milestone, let me give you the Reader's Digest version of the plot: As WWII rages, a battalion of British troops are herded into a Japanese POW camp. As such, the camp commandant (Sessue Hayakawa) urges his captives to throw themselves into work. Conveniently, a rail bridge needs to be built across the Kwai River, thus linking Burma to Rangoon. Colonel Saito, the commander, promises the men they will be treated well, provided they complete the task on schedule.Almost instantly, a battle of wills springs up in the camp. Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness), the British commander, is aghast to learn that his officers will work manual labor alongside enlisted men. Not only is this against the Geneva Convention, it's just...uncivilized. His senior staff will do no such thing. In retaliation, Saito loads Nicholson into a hotbox, where he can broil until his spirit breaks. Only, Nicholson doesn't break, and days begin to pass. This puts Saito in an impossible situation: Does he simply give in and look weak? Or, does he risk that Nicholson dies in solitary, and possibly end up with a prisoner uprising?Meanwhile, Commander Shears (William Holden) watches this personality clash from his infirmary bed. He's a charming, shifty American, who manipulates Saito's system to ensure his own survival. If that means bribing the guards, faking illness, or digging graves for his fallen comrades, then so be it. As Nicholson goes in the cooler, Shears can only shake his head in disgust: What good is such fanatical devotion to duty if it no one lives to tell of it?The film's turning point comes when Shears makes a daring escape. Somehow, he navigates the jungle thicket, and gets rescued by Burmese civilians. They get him to a British army hospital, where he eventually gets strong enough to subsist on a diet of dry martinis and blonde nurses. Just as Shears is about to settle into this cushy existence, some British officers show up with a wacky plan. Major Warden (Jack Hawkins) proposes to lead a commando team back into the jungle to blow up the Kwai River bridge. As Shears recently stumbled across this terrain, he would be the perfect guide. At first, the American is nonplussed at the idea of traipsing back into that humid hellhole. Still, the Brits make an offer he can't refuse, and back in they go.A moral and philosophical quandary emerges when Nicholson overcorrects in the name of his troops' morale and safety. He resolves to construct the bridge as an enduring monument to British precision, thus ensuring his men will survive the war. As Clipton points out, Nicholson's sudden exuberance and perfectionism borders on treason. Still the colonel responds with a shrug: If they have no choice, why not give it their all?On a cinematic level, Kwai is a masterpiece on every front. Lean would begin a stretch of ambitious, masterful films (Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago would follow) that would feature many of the same hallmarks as this one: Lush cinematography (Jack Hildyard would win the Oscar), memorable music (ditto Malcolm Arnold, who would score a hit with "Colonel Bogey March), and legendary performances. Holden is perfectly cast as the casual, carousing Shears, who slowly runs out of angles to work. Donald, who would also memorably play another POW in The Great Escape, is also outstanding as the perpetually exasperated Clipton. Hayakawa gives depth to Saito, making him more than just a brutal, scowling monster. With all that said, Guinness would deservedly win the Oscar for his turn as Nicholson, a man whose pride, obsessiveness, and inflexibility point him to the same doom as Saito.Truth is, I can heap praise on Kwai for another 1000 words, but let me boil it all down for you. This is just one of those movies you have to see. Lean, working with blacklisted writers Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson, delivers an intricate masterpiece that was ahead of its time. On the surface, this looks like a straightforward war film, or maybe a thoughtful character study. Watch it a few more times, and you'll see that it's actually a lot more than either of those things.161 min. PG. AMC+.

If you mention you're an "organ donor" on your driver's license, does that mean doctors won't save you? Langston and David dissect this conspiracy theory with Carl Foreman, Jr. (Search Party).

Analisamos um dos melhores westerns de todos os tempos, dirigido por Fred Zinnemann e estrelado por Gary Cooper e Grace Kelly. No episódio #24, o podcast Em Foco analisa um dos melhores westerns de todos os tempos: "Matar ou Morrer" (High Noon, 1952), dirigido por Fred Zinnemann e estrelado por Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly, Katy Jurado, Thomas Mitchell e Lloyd Bridges. O longa é vencedor de quatro estatuetas do Oscar: Melhor Ator (Cooper), Melhor Montagem (Elmo Williams e Harry Gerstad), Melhor Música (Dimitri Tiomkin) e Melhor Canção Original, a icônica "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin')". Escrito por Carl Foreman (roteirista vencedor do Oscar por "A Ponte do Rio Kwai" e perseguido pelo Macarthismo), "Matar ou Morrer" tem como protagonista o xerife Will Kane, que justo no momento em que se prepara para se aposentar e partir em lua de mel com sua esposa recebe a notícia de que um antigo inimigo está voltando à cidade para se vingar. Kane pede ajuda dos moradores para enfrentar o bandido, mas ninguém parece disposto a ficar ao seu lado. No programa, analisamos o uso estratégico da passagem do tempo, a estrutura narrativa emprestada da tragédia grega, as interessantes escolhas estéticas de Zinnemann, a força das personagens femininas, além de trazermos curiosidades sobre os bastidores. Participam deste podcast: Renato Silveira, Kel Gomes, Ana Lúcia Andrade, professora de Cinema da Escola de Belas Artes da UFMG, e Heitor Capuzzo, também professor de Cinema, escritor e crítico, autor dos livros “O Cinema Além da Imaginação”, “Alfred Hitchcock: O Cinema em Construção” e “Lágrimas de Luz: O Drama Romântico no Cinema”. “Matar ou Morrer” foi escolhido como tema deste episódio por nossos apoiadores em uma enquete de escolha de pauta.

High Noon is a 1952 American Western film produced by Stanley Kramer from a screenplay by Carl Foreman, directed by Fred Zinnemann, and starring Gary Cooper. The plot, depicted in real time, centers on a town marshal who is torn between his sense of duty and his love for his new bride and who must face a gang of killers alone. Though mired in controversy with political overtones at the time of its release, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won four (Actor, Editing, Music-Score, and Music-Song)[3] as well as four Golden Globe Awards (Actor, Supporting Actress, Score, and Cinematography-Black and White).[4] The award-winning score was written by Russian-born composer Dimitri Tiomkin. High Noon was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in 1989, the NFR's first year of existence. An iconic film whose story has been partly or completely repeated in later film productions, the ending scenes especially inspired a next-to-endless number of later films, including but not just limited to westerns.

Traditionell nehmen wir wieder am #oWestern teil und besprechen einen der größten Klassiker überhaupt für euch. Natürlich geht es ausführlich um Carl Foreman und die Red Scare. Wir fragen und, ob der Film eine Allegorie, eine traditionelle Heldengeschichte oder beides ist. Wir finden einen Farbcode in den Frauenrollen und Demokratieverachtung vor der Kirche. Ist Grace Kelly schön? Das ist nicht die einzige Frage, die nach einer ellenlangen Liste von Preisen und Bestenlisten noch offen bleibt. #unamericanactivity

Un hombre camina por la calle polvorienta de un pueblo despreciable. Su traje negro contrasta con el blanco de un sol asfixiante. Va armado pero tiene miedo porque está solo. El polvo se adhiere a sus botas como preámbulo de su muerte más que segura, como si la tierra tuviera prisa para cubrir su cuerpo. La cadena de un reloj cuelga de su chaleco advirtiéndole, a cada paso que da, que le queda un segundo menos de vida. Sus pasos se van trazando entre el temor y la inapelable decisión de honradez que ha tomado. Sus ojos, sinceros, escrutan la calle de un lado a otro en busca de un arma que le haga compañía y, también, de la bala que llevará su nombre. Es muy alto y el sol, allá justo en el mediodía, proyecta su sombra oblicua en varias direcciones a la vez, como si se tratara de un fantasma difuminado en su propio estado etéreo, como si comenzara a entrar en la muerte. A la altura del corazón, una estrella que no brilla y que acabará despreciando en un gesto de hombría desprovisto de énfasis. A su alrededor, una mujer que no entiende que él sea capaz de defender algo que, simplemente ya no es suyo y que ponga en riesgo su propia felicidad por cumplir un supuesto deber moral. Una antigua amante, despechada por su abandono, que en el fondo sigue enamorada de él y que guarda una profunda admiración por su honestidad y su orgullo. Un ayudante que siempre se ha sentido aplastado por su aura de hombre bueno y valiente, más allá de toda consideración, consciente de su deber y que no huye. ¿Por qué no huye? Maldito, Kane. Que se vaya del pueblo y entonces yo tendré mi oportunidad de hacerme valer. Un amigo que piensa que los que vienen traerán más prosperidad al pueblo y que, por tanto, él tendría que irse. Intereses creados. Falsedades humanas. Bajeza moral por el siempre reprochable dinero. Kane, vete o muere. Fred Zinnemann dirigió esta película con guión de Carl Foreman como metáfora épica sobre el maccarthysmo y el miedo y la indiferencia que se instalaban en Hollywood mientras el fascismo se hacía sitio por su noviazgo con el capital. Y consiguió hacer que Gary Cooper estuviera hundido en su mirada, desesperado en su acción, arado en su rostro tan cercano al miedo cerval. Y así la película se incrustó con enorme coherencia dentro de la filmografía del director, obsesionado con ofrecer retratos de hombres que tenían que enfrentarse a acontecimientos que les sobrepasaban. Al fondo, el triunfo siempre era dudoso. Kane quizá consiga sobrevivir pero algo muere dentro de él. Tal vez la confianza en las personas, o puede que la seguridad en los amigos. Ya no volverá a ser el mismo porque dejó una estrella tirada en la calle de Hadleyville como símbolo del desprecio que siente por la gente que prefirió el caos y el desorden como medio para la prosperidad antes que la justicia y la defensa de lo que siempre estuvo a su lado. Y Kane lo estuvo. Cumplió con su deber. Fue ley y fue orden. Fue sinceridad. Fue lo que le pedían que fuera. Y, al final, hace lo que pide su propia integridad. Y no es fácil. Porque está solo.

Film historians consider “High Noon” to be a Western, but it’s more than that — the story of one man’s moral courage in the face of overwhelming odds. In the 1952 film, a town marshal, played by Gary Cooper, is about to retire his badge and his gun and move away with his new bride, played by Grace Kelly. But the marshal learns that a man who hates him, a vicious outlaw named Frank Miller, is coming back to the town to kill him — and he’s arriving on the noon train. High Noon is a Hollywood classic, but it was made during the post-World War II Red Scare, when Congress was looking for suspected communists among the film industry’s producers, writers, directors and actors. The screenwriter of “High Noon” was Carl Foreman, and in the middle of the film’s production he was forced to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee about his former membership in the Communist Party. Refusing to name names, he was eventually blacklisted and fled the United States. Author Glenn Frankel, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, is our guest today. He has written a book, “High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of An American Classic.” He joins us in conversation with our film critics, Linda DeLibero and Christopher Llewellyn Reed.Links:http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/high-noon-9781620409480/

No episódio 68, Alexandre e Fred esperam a chegada do trem do meio-dia que traz o cinéfilo Marcelo Rennó e juntos os três irão atrás de eliminar mais uma pendência da galeria do Podcast Filmes Clássicos. Chegou a vez – e a hora – de abordarmos o western americano intitulado no Brasil “Matar ou Morrer” (High Noon, 1952). Mais do que um simples faroeste, o filme se tornou um clássico absoluto do cinema sob a direção de Fred Zinnemann e a produção de Stanley Kramer. Gary Cooper, um ator em momento crítico na carreira, interpreta o delegado Will Kane, papel que lhe rendeu seu segundo e derradeiro Oscar. Grace Kelly assume seu primeiro papel de destaque no cinema e a partir deste filme irá decolar para o estrelato. Outros atores veteranos como Thomas Mitchell, Otto Krueger e Lon Channey Jr. compõe o brilhante elenco deste western-drama-suspense escrito para as telas por Carl Foreman, o roteirista que usou os problemas gerados pela caça aos comunistas como inspiração para o filme que até hoje é tido como um dos melhores do gênero.

Where Eagles Dare has a body count of 100 according to MovieBodyCounts.com, which places it at no. 62 in the Top 100, though well in the top 20 for its war film category. The ruins at the start of Navarone are indeed the Parthenon, while those used later in the film seem to be the temple ruins at Lindos on Rhodes.Purchase the DVD from Amazon UK: The Guns of Navarone (1961)

The Sequel Machine recruits amazing comedy writers to write the sequels for film's biggest franchises one page at a time. The catch is, the writers only get to read the page before theirs in a round-robin, exquisite corpse style. The end result is a hilarious, twisted, and as coherent as any misguided Hollywood sequel. This time, we set our sights on television's most anticipated finale: The Last Ten Pages of Breaking Bad. Starring Tim Martin as Walter White and Josh Ruben as Jesse Pinkman with Lauren Adams, Adam Bozarth, Carl Foreman, Jr., Anna Rubanova, and Brett White Written by (in page order): Adam Bozarth, Mike Scollins, Laura Willcox, Brett White, Dru Johnston, Michael Hartney, Anna Rubanova, Aaron Burdette, Mike Still, and Matt Little.
