"IT'S FATAL: WHAT IS FILM NOIR?" (PART III) (080) 3/24/2025 Welcome to the third and final installment of our series on Film Noir. As we have previously discussed the technical elements of noir and met the typical character's of noir, we will now take a look at the creative aspects of the genre that help create that special brand of dark, sexy, deadly movies. We'll discuss dialogue, and clever devices like voice overs, flashbacks, and dream sequences that enhance these dark, moody films. We'll also look at the fatalistic themes that reigned supreme throughout the genre.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

EPISODE 78 - “FILM NOIR - Part 1 - WHAT IS NOIR?” - 3/10/2025 Have you ever wondered what exactly is film noir? TCM's EDDIE MULLER describes it this way: “Film Noir is all about treachery, deceit, and paranoia. You're never quite sure what is going on, who you can trust, or what dreadful pitfall waits around the corner.” This dark and twisted film genre popped up after WWII as a quiet cynicism began to creep into the national consciousness. In film noir, there is always an underbelly of darkness that comes out to play. And within the darkness, the shadows, and the neon lights, lie many stories of crime, dishonesty, adultery, murder, and mayhem. This week, we present the first in a special three-part series that delves into the darkest of genres where crooked cops, gangsters, torch singers, barflies, and other seedy character's live, love and kill. Join us as we discuss Film Noir!  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the most underrated films in Bette Davis' filmography during her time at Warner Brothers. Brandon welcomes Samantha Mason to look at 1942's In This Our Life. Samantha is a history teacher and movie buff who cohosts the Movie Club podcast with former Front Row guest, Hayley Chow. Brandon and Samantha dive into a film that was both current and ahead of its time in many ways. Themes of racial prejudice and possible incest are peppered into John Huston's potboiler.  The movie also features one of Davis' most unsympathetic character portrayals. She is supported by an amazing ensemble cast including Olivia de Havilland, George Brent, Dennis Morgan, Billie Burke, Charles Coburn and Hattie McDaniel.

We head to court this week for Hitchcock's 1947 courtroom drama, The Paradine Case. Gregory Peck leads the cast as a famed London lawyer who defends a notorious widow accused of poisoning her husband. Charles Laughton costars as a lascivious judge, and a very young Louis Jourdan appears as a French heartthrob who was valet for the victim. Details: A David O. Selznick/Vanguard Film. Released in 1947. Produced by Selznick. Screenplay by Selznick, based on Robert Hitchens' novel. Starring Gregory Peck, Ann Todd, Valli, Charles Coburn, Charles Laughton, Louis Jourdan, Ethel Barrymore, and Joan Tetzel. Cinematography by Lee Garmes. Ranking: 38 out of 52. Ranking movies is a reductive parlor game. It's also fun. And it's a good way to frame a discussion. We aggregated over 70 ranked lists from critics, fans, and magazines The Paradine Case got 854 ranking points.

In April of 2022, the boys brought you a Movie Mash-Up episode in which they attempted to combine two movies into one. The result was absolutely awful, but you guys still seemed to like the concept. So the fellas are back to try a different spin on the mash-up premise: merging famous TV dramas with famous TV sitcoms. For instance, what would it look like if "The Sopranos" merged with "George Lopez"? Or what if "Frasier" was combined with "The Wire"? These important questions will be answered today. Will this work better than the movie mash-up? Hard to say for sure, but we'll let you be the judge.Sonny and Tom also find themselves with a very interesting opening segment. They imagine a world in which Arnold Schwarzenegger played the Oscar-winning role of Charles Coburn's character in 1943's "The More the Merrier." And before you skip past this opening segment, we should tell you that it's actually a particularly juicy role for our boy Arnie. Is it juicy enough to get Arnold's Best Shot? Stick around and find out.Hosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).Theme by Josh Britt (jbrittmusic.com)Instagram: AnOscarForArnoldTwitter: @AnOscar4ArnoldTikTok: AnOscarForArnoldContact: AnOscarForArnold@gmail.com

EPISODE 47 - “Laird Cregar (Star of the Month) ” - 08/05/2024 With his sad, dark eyes, hulking frame, and aristocratic speech, actor LAIRD CREGAR often played the complex villain tortured by a sinister past or an unrequited love that turns into an obsession. No one played characters with suppressed anguish, a tortured soul, or darkness lingering beneath the surface better than he did. While he only made 16 films in a period of five years, he is unforgettable. His desire to be thin was his achilles heel that turned tragic. This week join us as we take a deep dive into the short life and career of this amazing actor.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Laird Cregar: A Hollywood Tragedy (2017), by Gregory William Mank; “Atlas With A Grin,” by Fredda Dudley, December 1941, Screenland magazine; “Setbacks To Fame,” by Dorothy B.Haas, June 1942, Silver Screen magazine; “Bold, Bad, (Bluffing) Cregar,” by Barbara Berch, January 1945, Screenland magazine; “Ripping Tales: Laird Cregar: The Forgotten Ripper,” by Kevin G.

George Stevens demuestra su saber hacer en esta deliciosa comedia, con un ritmo más pausado que el de Hawks o Capra, La chica soltera vive sola en tiempos de guerra, la segunda guerra mundial amenaza el mundo al otro lado del océano, y Connie -Jean Arthur- ofrece su piso en tiempo de escasez de viviendas en las ciudades norteamericanas. Tiempos de zozobra en los que todos deben arrimar el hombro y salir adelante. Y allí llega el señor Dingle, un sensacional Charles Coburn, y adopta su frase favorita del almirante Farragut, héroe de otra guerra, la de secesión: “¡Malditos torpedos! ¡Avanzad a toda velocidad!” Curiosamente el propio Frankin D Roosevelt apelaría a esa frase en discursos arengando a los oficiales de la marina tras el ataque a Pearl Harbour. En esta encantadora comedia todos los instrumentos están perfectamente afinados. La narración bien hilada, McCrea, Arthur y Coburn se mueven como peces en el agua en ese apartamento que conocemos desde que la metódica mujer entregue al nuevo inquilino un horario imposible de cumplir. Tetlaff filma los devaneos y los desencuentros, los planos frontales en los ventanas con cada habitante del apartamento en su habitación. O el travelling memorable del paseo nocturno de la pareja , Joe manosea a Connie sin freno y a ella parece no importarle, la intimidad entre Jean Arthur y Joel McCrea traspasa la pantalla, y el prometido del tupé falso se queda esperando en el salón de baile. Todo gracias al casamentero señor Dingle, no tiene prisa y se ríe de casi todo, sabe que una mujer joven que escribe un diario pertenece al grupo de personas que tienen suficiente tiempo para hacerlo, y claro está, la vida es mejor vivirla que escribirla. Esta noche cantamos la canción de los torpedos con el señor Dingle… Salvador Limón, Zacarías Cotán y Raúl Gallego.

EPISODE 25 - “Paul Douglas: Star of the Month” - 03/04/2024 In a new feature, we are highlighting a “Star of the Month” where we will dive into the life, career, and legacy of a single performer. To kick things off in this episode, we'll be discussing the great PAUL DOUGLAS. You may not know his name, but you certainly know his face. With his somewhat craggy mug that usually sported a hang-dog look, he made a career at playing gruff, tough guys who were usually softies underneath, as he does so perfectly as LINDA DARNELL's rough-around-the-edges businessman husband in “A Letter To Three Wives” (1949).

On this episode, The Pink Smoke welcomes back podcaster and physical media maven Brian Saur to bite into the succulent apple that is The Lady Eve. The gleaming center of an unparalleled four-year, 7-movie run of masterpieces from the peerless Preston Sturges, Eve strikes an immaculate balance of comedy that is high and low brow, impressions of love both cynical and romantic, and a leading lady who's positively anything but good and positively anything but bad. With a top-to-bottom phenomenal cast including Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, Charles Coburn, Eugene Pallette and William Demarest breathing life into Sturges' brilliant dialogue and deftly executing his pratfalls, it's hard to argue against this movie being the pinnacle of Hollywood's age of slapstick. Along with co-host Elric Kane on the Pure Cinema Podcast, Brian originated the phrase "handshake film" to describe great movies that are easy for fellow cineastes to bond over and The Lady Eve is certainly that. Like Brian, hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs are huge Sturges fans who find every frame of Eve irresistible, so this episode quickly turns into a gush session in which they quote favorite lines, deconstruct favorite scenes and have a great time doing it!

Duffy's Tavern is an American radio situation comedy that ran for a decade on several networks (CBS, 1941–42; NBC-Blue Network, 1942–44; and NBC, 1944–51), concluding with the December 28, 1951, broadcast.The program often featured celebrity guest stars but always hooked them around the misadventures of Archie, the tavern's manager, portrayed by Ed Gardner. Archie was prone to involvement in get-rich-quick schemes and romantic missteps, and constantly communicated with malaprops and mixed metaphors. Gardner had performed the character of Archie, talking about Duffy's Tavern, as early as November 9, 1939, when he appeared on NBC's Good News of 1940 Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Greg and Susan try not to be a disgrace to the toy department as they discuss 1939's Bachelor Mother starring Ginger Rogers and David Niven and featuring Charles Coburn and Frank Alberston. The romantic comedy set between Christmas and New Years in NYC tells the story of a soon-to-be unemployed shopgirl who gets mistaken for the mother of a baby left at foundling home. Greg and Susan discuss the pairing of Rogers and Niven and speculate how the movie might have been much different if the original pick for the leading man was in the film. They discuss the best scenes featuring each central cast member. They also talk about the constraints of the plot due to the Hayes code.Sources referenced:https://www.popmatters.com/134616-bachelor-mother-2496101102.html

The Gipper’s slow segue out of the Warner fold began with this tone-setting suburban sitcom for Universal-International. Part of his new sometime-studio’s “Big Push” at the dawn of  the television decade, Louisa shows how easily Reagan might have stepped into a Father Knows Best/My Three Sons-style second career. If only he had done so, American (and Canadian) marginal tax rates might still be at 70%. As usual (and as per Gareth’s thesis), Reagan mainly holds down the stage for the benefit of his co-stars, occupying a crucially colorless space between the coming and the going generations. The latter group includes Spring Byington (in the title role), Edmund Gwenn and Charles Coburn - reworking their love-triangle dynamics from the immortal Devil and Miss Jones. At the other end of the scale, we find debuting Piper Laurie, tragic Scotty Beckett, and little Jimmy Hunt with his big radio. The film runs a brilliant reverse-play on the viewer, feinting toward some kind of a send-up of senior citizen sexuality and then delivering those second-chance-at-life intensities surprisingly straight. It all starts on a sidewalk outside Gwenn’s gourmet grocery shop, with a conversation about the loneliness of twilight. Along the way, we get some pretty decent dissection of masculinity at every age and stage of that particular disease (speaking of which – get ready for some rough revelations about Dutch's post-divorce relapse into “Leading Lady-itis”).

Duffy's Tavern, an American radio situation comedy (CBS, 1941-1942; NBC-Blue Network, 1942-1944; NBC, 1944-1952), often featured top-name stage and film guest stars but always hooked those around the misadventures, get-rich-quick-scheming, and romantic missteps of the title establishment's malaprop-prone, metaphor-mixing manager, Archie, played by the writer/actor who co-created the show, Ed Gardner. In the show's familiar opening, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," either solo on an old-sounding piano or by a larger orchestra, was interrupted by the ring of a telephone and Gardner's New Yorkese accent as he answered, "Duffy's Tavern, where the elite meet to eat. Archie the manager speakin'. Duffy ain't here — oh, hello, Duffy." Duffy, the owner, was never heard (or seen, when a film based on the show was made in 1945 or when a bid to bring the show to television was tried in 1954). But Archie always was — bantering with Duffy's man-crazy daughter, Miss Duffy (played by several actresses, beginning with Gardner's real-life first wife, Shirley Booth); with Eddie, the waiter/janitor (Eddie Green); and, especially, with Clifton Finnegan (Charlie Cantor), a likeable soul with several screws loose and a knack for falling for every other salesman's scam. THIS EPISODE: November 2, 1943. Program #25. Blue network origination, AFRS rebroadcast. Guest Charles Coburn is enticed into a poker game down at the tavern. Charles Coburn, Ed Gardner, Florence Halop, Peter Van Steeden and His Orchestra. 1/2 hour.
