This October, Brandon and Lorin explore the spooky mind of Alfred Hitchcock through some of his most well-known works. This week, we review "North by Northwest," starring Cary Grant as a man embroiled in a felonious conspiracy of mistaken identity.

Barbara Hutton, the "quintessential poor little rich girl,” was an American socialite and heiress to the Woolworth dime-store fortune. Tabloids ridiculed her for her seven divorces (including to Cary Grant) as she suffered from anorexia and alcoholism. She threw money at everyone around her, but never got the one thing she wanted: love.  This episode was first published on 11/29/2019.

This week, we're finishing up our first Cary Grant series AND welcoming Spooky Movie Season at the same time with the 1944 comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace. Adapted from the hit Broadway play, Frank Capra's classic was originally slated for release in 1942, but the stage production was such a big hit that the film was delayed two extra years. Grant stars as Mortimer Brewer, a playwright and confirmed bachelor who surprises even himself by marrying Elaine Harper (Priscilla Lane), the girl next door. After their city hall nuptials, the pair run home to Brooklyn to announce their big news, but Mortimer is shocked and dismayed to discover his sweet, elderly maiden aunts Abby (Josephine Hull) and Martha (Jean Adair) are serial murderers with a dozen bodies buried in the basement. And hilarity ensues! Arsenic and Old Lace also stars Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre, John Alexander, Grant Mitchell, Jack Carson, James Gleason, Gary Owen.

"Mind Over Murder" hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley discuss the mysterious case of D B Cooper, who successfully hijacked a Northwest Airlines passenger jet and parachuted into the dense forest of the Pacific Northwest. He was never caught, although a small amount of the $200,000 ransom was later recovered.

Episode: 2488 Revision: An Essential Component of the Creative Process.  Today, creator vs. revisor.

Get ready to cry! This week, we're discussing An Affair to Remember, director Leo McCarey's 1957 remake of his own film Love Affair, this time featuring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Come for the mature love story, stay for the soap-operatic melodrama. It's the ultimate chick flick, but you will be sobbing by the end. We also chat a bit about the current state of media and what the Hollywood Blacklist has to do with our contemporary moment. Next week, we gear up for Spooky Season with our final Cary Grant film of the month: Arsenic and Old Lace!

The bonus pod is here and it's all about the menswear in North By Northwest (1959)! Spencer, Ethan, and MJ talk about this whirlwind of a film— and the iconic grey suit (with white shirt and grey tie) worn by Cary Grant as Roger Thornhill (or is it George Kaplan?). It's truly the star of the film, going through a drunk drive, being framed for murder, and being run down by a crop duster (who also had a gun, people forget that)! Not only that, but it gets sponged and pressed in 20 minutes. Hitchcock's thriller is full of great style and a lot of grey suits with solid ties. We discuss it all in this pod!

Welcome back, my dear. Tonight we slip past the velvet edge where conscience and consequence share a heartbeat. Greed calls from the deep; a confession rots in the light; a noir mind stumbles behind the curtain; and summer itself says farewell with a ghost's restraint.

Cary Grant month continues as we discuss THE quintessential screwball comedy, Bringing Up Baby. Howard Hawks directed the 1938 film which stars Cary Grant as engaged paleontologist David Huxley, who is trying to score a one million dollar grant for his museum when he crosses paths with Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn), a wonderfully chaotic disruption to his plans. From a missing intercostal clavicle to a leopard named Baby (played by a charming cat named Neissa), Grant and Hepburn are delightful in this very funny classic. To read more about Neissa the leopard and her handler Olga Celeste, click here.

Today on Episode 225, the guys take a look at one of Grant's Oscar nominated roles, with Penny Serenade. How will the hosts handle the switch from comedy to drama for Grant?

Happy September! It's Cary Grant month (because we say it is), so we're starting out with Suspicion, the first film that brought together Grant and Alfred Hitchcock. They would go on to work together on three more films, but Suspicion is probably the most contentious for casting Cary Grant as a maybe-murderer who falls under suspicion from his wife (Joan Fontaine, who won an Oscar for her portrayal). Next week, we'll be discussing one of Grant's most famous screwball comedies, Bringing Up Baby!

Ryan's got a Friday solo show today with this 684th edition of Have You Ever Seen. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a zany rom-com with Cary Grant and Myrna Loy playing a likable husband & wife who move themselves & their daughters from NYC out to the country. And their house turns out to be a disaster. This film has been acclaimed over the decades, even though it's more congenial than it is funny…and an ineffective love triangle subplot involving the snarky Melvyn Douglas is completely unnecessary. But it's undeniable that H.C. Potter directed a successful (supposed) laugh-fest in Mr. Blandings, where you can't measure what you love by what it costs. Well, Actually: there already was a "Diane Hall" in the guild, so Diane Keaton took her mother's maiden name when she got to Hollywood.

We enter the 50s as our journey through the years of Suspense continues with my favorite episodes from 1950. First, Dana Andrews is a cop on the trail of a killer in a radio adaptation of Ray Bradbury's “The Crowd” (originally aired on CBS on September 21, 1950), and Milton Berle is an actor who hopes he can convincingly play a crazy man to escape a death sentence for murder in “Rave Notice” (originally aired on CBS on October 12, 1950). Cary Grant picks the wrong time and place to run out of gas in the classic chiller “On a Country Road” (originally aired on CBS on November 16, 1950), and Ray Milland discovers a plot to bribe a jury - and his wife is kidnapped to keep his silence - in “After the Movies” (originally aired on CBS on December 7, 1950). Finally, Alan Ladd stars in a tale of revenge out of the old west in “A Killing in Abilene” (originally aired on CBS on December 14, 1950).  

What's myth and what's fact in the story of Charles Manson? What were the true motives behind the murders and who was really involved? There are many books covering this topic, yet very few have broken through the 'official' tale told by the trial's prosecutors and the news media at the time. This book includes hundreds of hours of research into court and police documents, witness statements, media reports and interviews with those involved. This book examines the current theories surrounding the case and appraises their likelihood against a timeline of events and the words of Manson himself. The prosecution case promoted by Vincent, Bugliosi, the Process Church influence as endorsed by Ed Sanders and David McGowan, the robbery scenario as spoken of by Nikolas Shreck and William Scanlon Murphy and the possibility of MK Ultra mind control as discussed by Adam Gorightly are all examined and tested.How do Terry Melcher, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Jane Fonda, the Mamas and the Papas, Michael Caine, Dean Martin, Angela Lansbury, Peter Sellers, Warren Beatty, Yul Brynner, Peter Falk, Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, Neil Young, Frank Zappa, Nancy Sinatra, Ronald Reagan and Debbie Harry fit into the tale? What Hollywood secrets did the industry, the police and the prosecution strive to keep hidden? Were the victims really chosen at random by a crazed cult of serial killers, high on a mix of LSD, Satanism and the music of the Beatles? Read on to uncover the secrets of the Manson family, their trial, the main players in the case and the murky world of Hollywood.The book contains 564 pages, 200,000+ words containing a complete history of the life of Charles Manson.A detailed examination of the Hinman, Shea, Tate and LaBianca murders, appraisal of all the most prominent theories surrounding the case, explanations of the coded confessions revealed in interviews with Manson.Stories of celebrity encounters, facts about Manson's relationship with the music industry, details of organised crime connections, faults with the prosecution's case, troubling indications about the motives and character of Vincent Bugliosi, examinations of further murders and other criminal activity possibly connected to Manson.Revelations about the main players involved in the case, embarrassing secrets of the Hollywood elite, suggestions of police ineptitude, signs of a cover-up, bizarre coincidences, strange occurrences, salacious gossip, radical political movements, riots, the Black Panthers, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, cults, religion, sex, drugs and murder.This book has been read, enjoyed, praised and promoted by friends of Charlies and members of ATWA. https://amzn.to/4naItmKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This time on  Ron's Amazing Stories, we're diving into one of Alfred Hitchcock's most celebrated thrillers—Shadow of a Doubt. Originally released as a film in 1943 and starring Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright, the story gets a radio makeover in the Screen Director's Playhouse adaptation from November 1950. This time, none other than Cary Grant steps into the role of Uncle Charlie, bringing his trademark charm with an unsettling twist. What makes Shadow of a Doubt stand out in Hitchcock's catalog is its unique suspense style. We, the audience, know from the beginning that Uncle Charlie has a dark secret. The real tension comes from watching his niece slowly uncover the horrifying truth about the man she once adored.

MARSHA GORDON to discuss the life, career, and lost legacy of early feminist writer URSULA PARROTT. Parrott was a colorful character — a prolific and best-selling author, Hollywood screenwriter, and consistent headline-grabber during her avant-garde, unconventional life. Dr. Gordon, an expert on Parrott, discusses Parrott's books, Hollywood deals, marriages and divorces, and run-ins with the law that made this writer such a fascinating subject.  To learn more about the work of Dr. Marsha Gordon, check out her website at https://www.marshagordon.org/ SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Becoming The Ex-Wife (2023), by Marsha Gordon; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IBDB.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned: The Divorcee (1930), starring Norma Shearer, Chester Morris, & Conrad Nagel; Gentleman's Fate (1931), starring John Gilbert, Louis Wolheim, Lelia Huams, & Anita Page; Strangers May Kiss (1931), starring Norma Shearer, Robert Montgomery, & Ray Milland; Leftover Ladies (1931), starring Claudia Dell & Marjorie Rambeau; Love Affair (1932), starring Humphrey Bogart & Dorothy Mackail; The Woman Accused (1933), starring Cary Grant & Nancy Carroll; There's Always Tomorrow (1934), starring Binnie Barnes, Robert Taylor, Alan Hale, & Frank Morgan; Next Time We Love (1936), starring Margaret Sullavan & James Stewart; Brilliant Marriage (1936), starring Joan Marsh, Ray Walker, & Hugh Marlowe; There's Always Tomorrow (1956), starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, & Joan Bennett; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

For the first of our Hitchcockian films, we discuss the best "Hitchcock film not directed by Hitchcock": Stanley Donen's Charade (1963), a somewhat satirical, fantastically entertaining globe-trotting thriller with a stellar cast featuring Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, and Walter Matthau. Next week we'll be chatting about Gaslight (1944), which somehow Hitchcock also did not direct.

Episode: 3323 We learn a new way of speaking in the 1930s.  Today, biting words.

It's Alfred Hitchcock's birthday month and we're kicking off the celebration with one of his quintessential films: North by Northwest. Cary Grant stars alongside Eva Marie Saint and James Mason in this tale of mistaken identity, espionage, and intrigue. From an attempted assassination via crop duster to the face(s) of Mount Rushmore, one of Hitch's biggest and more iconic films is thrilling, romantic, and funny.

Amongst its pages, there are many familiar names—Oscar Wilde, Quentisn Crisp, Sappho, James Baldwin, Freddie Mercury — but also many we might not expect: Florence Nightingale, Marlene Dietrich, Cary Grant, J. Edgar Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Tchaikovsky, Greta Garbo, Richard the Lionheart, even Abraham Lincoln,  along with 1000 other stories of artists, generals, politicians, kings, despots and many more figures drawn from 5000 years of hidden culture.   Keith Stern came to the Bureau to talk about his extraordinary encyclopaedia ‘Queers in History', what drove him to write it, and why it matters.   The book is more than a who's-who of queer life —it's a challenge to the official version of the past, a reminder of how history gets made, unmade, and remade,  depending on who's telling the stories, inviting us to consider how queerness has always existed, and has contributed to the culture. And we get into the subject of whether Gandalf was Queer - yes, we really do…
