“I just had the unpleasant sensation of hearing you referred to as my husband.” – It Happened One Night (1934)This week, returning guest Andrew Daniels joins us to break down the original screwball sensation: Frank Capra's It Happened One Night. As the first film to ever sweep the “Big Five” Oscars, this charming romantic comedy set the template for the genre, with pitch-perfect performances from Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, and enough innuendo, wit, and roadside bickering to fuel decades of imitators.We explore how Capra's Depression-era romance struck a chord with audiences, changed the course of Hollywood stardom, and remains as irresistibly funny and tender today as it was in 1934.Episode Notes:It Happened One Night (1934) was directed by Frank Capra and stars Clark Gable and Claudette ColbertSelected to the National Film Registry in 1993First film to win all five major Academy Awards: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and ScreenplayNotable for:Launching the screwball comedy genreIconic scenes like the hitchhiking lesson and the “walls of Jericho”Bridging escapism and social commentary during the Great DepressionDiscussion topics include:The film's influence on romantic comedies for generationsHow it reshaped the public personas of Gable and ColbertCapra's blend of populist ideals and sharp dialogueWhy the film continues to resonate with modern audiencesFeaturing returning guest:Andrew Daniels, author of The Barstool Book of Sports: Stats, Stories, and Other Stuff for Drunken Debate Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

Constance Bennett's deal with Warner Bros. became a Hollywood scandal after Louella Parsons estimated that the star would earn $30,000 a week. Few reporters told the whole story. Two Against the World (1932) was her second picture on the deal. In the first half. Connie's performance anticipates the bratty screwball heiress types which were later portrayed by Claudette Colbert and Carole Lombard. And in the second half, she embodies the noble women of Depression-era melodramas starring Margaret Sullivan and Irene Dunne. Special thanks to Thomas O'Mahony for sound editing the episode.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Valarie Long, daughter of actors Richard Long and Mara Corday. At times our conversation was breezy, at times difficult and at other times funny, Valerie really took some time with this interview because there was so much to discuss.    From health issues that plagued Richard his whole life to some of those same issues that Valerie herself faced, we hear about how her father was plucked from obscurity as a high school senior at Hollywood High School and within no time was working on films with Orson Welles, Claudette Colbert, Loretta Young and Edward G. Robinson. We also discuss her father's first marriage prior to meeting the pinup girl Playboy model turned actress Mara Corday, to a young ingénue named Suzan Ball who tragically passed away at age 22 when Richard was only 23 whose tragic story is one we had never heard of prior to connecting to Valerie. Somehow we end up talking to Valerie about people like Clint Eastwood, Peter Marshall, Lee Majors, Barbara Stanwyck, Roddy McDowell, Dan Rowan and Sit John Mills. We also discuss iconic TV shows like The Big Valley, The Twilight Zone, 77 Sunset Strip, Nanny and the Professor and more. We discuss movies like Tarantula, Sudden Impact, Tomorrow is Forever, Ma and Pa Kettle and Make Like a Thiefand others. It's a rollicking conversation that was equal parts funny, heartwarming and poignant and we thank Valerie for shying away from nothing in our conversation.. But that's how things happen on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story. And this one is a keeper.

This Sunday, "Sunday Night Playhouse" on Vintage Classic Radio brings you a special episode of *Theatre Guild on the Air* featuring *The Age of Innocence*, adapted from the novel by Edith Wharton. Originally broadcast on April 20th, 1952, this episode presents a powerful tale of love, tradition, and societal expectations in 1870s New York. The story follows Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to the sweet and conventional May Welland, whose world is turned upside down when he falls in love with May's cousin, the unconventional and mysterious Countess Ellen Olenska. As Newland grapples with his feelings, he is torn between following his heart and adhering to the strict social codes of the time. The episode stars Claudette Colbert as Ellen Olenska, Robert Sterling as Newland Archer, and Mildred Natwick as May Welland, with additional supporting roles performed by talented radio actors. This adaptation beautifully captures the tension and emotional complexity of Wharton's classic novel, offering listeners a window into the struggles of individuals caught in the confines of rigid societal norms.

Opposites attract with magnetic force in this romantic road-trip delight from Frank Capra, about a spoiled runaway socialite (Claudette Colbert) and a roguish man-of-the-people reporter (Clark Gable) who is determined to get the scoop on her scandalous disappearance. The first film to accomplish the very rare feat of sweeping all five major Oscar categories (best picture, best actor, best actress, best director, and best screenplay), IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT is among the most gracefully constructed and edited films of the early sound era, packed with clever situations and gags that have entered the Hollywood comedy pantheon and featuring two actors at the top of their game, sparking with a chemistry that has never been bettered.

While known mostly as a romantic musical comedy star in film such as “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid” (1948), “Rose Marie” (1954), and “Kismet” (1955), she was also a deft dramatic actress when given the chance. Who can forget her as Veda, he daughter who made JOAN CRAWFORD's life a living hell, in “Mildred Pierce” (1945), or as the down-trodden alcoholic singer in “The Helen Morgan Story” (1957)? Blyth turns 96 on August 13th and is truly a living legend. Listen this week as we pay tribute with an episode about Ann Blyth's remarkable life and career.

In our discussion, we deconstruct some of the film's camera direction, discuss Lubitsch's late-period style and his more subtle (yet still very much present) formalism, his structural methodology, his use of repetition, the dynamics between “art” and “craft”, and Lubitsch's continuing influence. We also, at long last, try to define the Lubitsch “touch”. Or maybe not. Edited by Brennen King We have a Discord!

In “It's A Wonderful Life,” BEULAH BONDI played the most loving mother to JAMES STEWART. Ma Bailey is the epitome of sweetness, kindness, and supportiveness so it's quite shocking when we meet the Ma Bailey who would have existed had George Bailey not been born. She's cold, bitter, and unkind. It gives Bondi the wonderful opportunity to play two versions of the same character, which she does flawlessly. So to celebrate Mother's Day, Nan and Steve are taking a page from Bondi's playbook as they discuss the good and bad mothers of classic cinema.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Moms in the Movies (2014), by Richard Corliss; Actresses of a Certain Character (2007), by Axel Nissen; Irene Dunne: First Lady of Hollywood (2006), by Wes D.

EPISODE 32 - “The Mary Astor Purple Diary Scandal” - 04/22/2024 One of the most scandalous trials in early Hollywood history involved actress MARY ASTOR, who had made a name for herself playing virginal ingenues and good girls. Mary, who had kept a diary for most of her life, found her words used as a sensationalized weapon against her in her quest to regain custody of her 4-year-old child in 1936 after her acrimonious divorce from her doctor husband. The trial made worldwide headlines. Her sexy, salacious diary entries showed the world a more sensual side to our virginal Mary, and, in many ways, helped propel her career into the stratosphere.

Today's subject is the 1934 melodrama Imitation of Life. Directed by John Stahl, this movie stars Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers in an interracial friendship of two single mothers. The film has since been overshadowed by its 1959 remake, but it makes for a fascinating look at some of the social mores of society 90 years passed.

Brad kicks things off with Alfred Hitchcock's thriller "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Learn about the origins of Peter Lorre's career, how Hitchcock showed his growing pains early on, and whether or not the James Stewart remake is an improvement on the original. On the other side Jake recommends "It Happened One Night," a romantic comedy that not only swept the Oscars but also set the template for all romantic comedies to follow. Directed by Frank Capra and starring the charismatic duo of Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, this movie is a delightful mix of humor, romance, and social commentary, and a starting point for Mel Brooks to rip off dialogue.

Listen to find out!Do Androids Dream of His Girl Friday? , episode 98 of This Gun in My Hand, was manufactured not by the Tyrell Corporation but by Rob Northrup, using dialogue from the 1940 public domain film His Girl Friday, which was adapted from the 1928 public domain play The Front Page. The part of Walter Burns was played by Cary Grant, with Rosalind Russell as Hildy Johnson and Ralph Bellamy as Bruce Baldwin.

How do I survive a screwball comedy? With This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. The 1940 film His Girl Friday was adapted from a 1928 stage play titled The Front Page, both in the public domain. Dialogue in this episode was taken from His Girl Friday. (Link below.) It's excellent but has (CONTENT WARNING) the kind of racism and sexism you might expect in a 1940 film. There's also a one hour Lux Radio Theater adaptation starring Fred MacMurray and Claudette Colbert; a Screen Guild Theater radio adaptation starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell squeezed down into a half hour; and an even more offensive, grittier 1970 film of The Front Page starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. And there's a 1931 film version of The Front Page which I have yet to watch.https://archive.org/details/his_girl_fridayCredits:The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), with transitional music from His Girl Friday (1940) and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), all films in the public domain.
