Neste episódio, dou continuidade à exploração de filmes e dos seus remakes, desta vez com ‘A Kiss Before Dying', um film noir adaptado do primeiro romance de Ira Levin em colorido Cinemascope, refeito em 1991 com requintes de malvadez pelo autor de ‘Atracção Fatal', James Dearden.

A life lost way too soon at 24 years old, James Dean will always be remembered as one of Hollywood's greatest actors. Add to that feat the fact that he only had leading roles in three films and his potential becomes infinitely more devastating. In honoring him seventy years after his passing, Sophia and Nick look back at two of his films that were also released that same year: Elia Kazan's triumphant adaptation of John Steinbeck's epic novel, East of Eden, and Nicholas Ray's definitive portrait of 1950's America, Rebel Without a Cause (34:24). Listen as they discuss Dean's career highlights and how his performances stand out even among many other Oscar nominees (and a winner!) and CinemaScope beauty that transports us back in time.

Probablemente no es la mejor ni la más esperada de las películas de semana santa. Es una película de calidad muy inferior a otros clásicos de esa lista, pero aún así tiene un lugar ganado en la historia del cine por una razón inapelable: "El manto sagrado" fue la primera cinta hollywoodense fotografiada y estrenada en Cinemascope.

The film spans this half-century and the narrative evolves from a wacky comedy to a stark and tragic tale of loss, as Maher and his wife Mary (Maureen O'Hara) continue to age as the continuum of young cadets come and go, some to die in combat through the two World Wars. We talk about Ford's innovations in the use of the then-new technology of CinemaScope, with his camera favouring the Z-axis (the depth of the widescreen image) to visually depict the theme of the film, life's vanishing points, with a protagonist who slowly realizes the lack of control he has over his own life, a film certainly influential on Scorsese's The Irishman, with Ford offering at once a tribute to West Point and a questioning of the futility of Maher's task, a lifetime spent training young men to die for their country. Follow Chris Cassingham on Twitter and Bluesky and subscribe to his new substack Dark Optimism.The Long Gray Line is currently available to watch for free (with ads) and in CinemaScope on YouTube and Tubi.

In episode five of our Visionary Remakes season, we dissect the original The Fly from 1958 as well as David Cronenberg's bombastic remake from 1986.Special Guest: Daniel Malone - Host of the great You Talkin' to Me? podcast where Daniel watches classic films with his son for the first time. Check it out!The impetus of this season was to explore how remakes can add, take away, or supercede the original. Of course, all remakes add to the discourse of the original, and it is not some arbitrary competition. But the intention to remake is in some sense always competitive. A producer, writer, and/or director wants to retell a story in a different way, presuming the original will no longer do. Often this desire is imprudent but The Fly is a great example of how that impulse can lead to something much deeper and richer than the original execution.The Fly (1958) is certainly not a bad film. It was an elevated B-movie for its time, shot in beautiful CinemaScope. Vincent Price dutifully shows up, and a couple scenes became iconic (both fly head reveals). When compared to David Cronenberg's masterpiece from 1986, the original suddenly feels quite quaint and slight, a time capsule curiosity rather than groundbreaking film. Cronenberg's The Fly is perhaps the paradigm of taking an interesting idea and expanding it into something much more and much better. The remake also demonstrates that an idea or concept is just the foundation of a film. The true totality of a movie is the collective creative action of hundreds of people. When it all gels, we get something special and magical.
