Tim & Tay head into the holiday season with a hit musical that marks an early technological predecessor to IMAX: White Christmas. Tune in for a chat about blockbusters (old and new), Vista Vision, and Danny Kaye. SynopsisWhite Christmas tells the story of two World War II veterans and entertainers who team up to save their former commanding officer's struggling inn, finding love along the way.

This Warner Bros. 1944 episode makes good use of Warner Bros.' A-list stars, A-list character actors, B-list stars, and B-list character actors. Casablanca and Maltese Falcon alumni converge in both Michael Curtiz's Passage to Marseille, starring Humphrey Bogart as a morally compromised hero, with Claude Rains and Sydney Greenstreet as the patriotic and pro-fascist alternatives for occupied France; while in Jean Negulesco's The Mask of Dimitrios, a Citizen Kane-like story of a self-made criminal without a Rosebud, Peter Lorre and Greenstreet form an unlikely friendship that reminds Elise more of Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton than of Laurel and Hardy. We discuss the ways in which Curtiz finds the noir in his war movie and Negulesco finds the buddy comedy in his noir.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      Warner Brothers in 1944 0h 05m 26s:      PASSAGE TO MARSEILLE [dir.

For our Universal 1942 episode, a very odd pairing: The Mad Doctor of Market Street, a mad scientist/ocean liner comedy/island adventure movie directed by low-budget noir auteur Joseph H. Lewis, and Alfred Hitchcock's first fully American movie, Saboteur, a fugitive-on-the-run thriller. We dissect the depiction of the fictional islanders in The Mad Doctor of Market Street and the movie's deconstruction of the science/magic dichotomy, before moving on to Saboteur's leftist take on fascism in the United States. And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we talk about Ozu's A Hen in the Wind and Curtiz's Angels with Dirty Faces, which have nothing in common but very emotional endings.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      THE MAD DOCTOR OF MARKET STREET [dir.

Mindframes hosts Michael Cockerill and Dave Canfield join me for this special tribute to honor our dear friend Sergio Mims. Several years ago, I did an episode on one of his favorite directors, Michael Curtiz. Of course you are encouraged to listen to that. But I asked Mike & Dave to join me to revisit two titles in particular from Curtiz as well as recommend several others as a way of honoring the memory of Sergio. Perhaps one of these films is an all-time classic called CASABLANCA? In addition, we review a couple of recent titles like RRR and AFTERSUN. Not only that, but after our conversation, you'll get to hear Sergio one last time on this show. Over a year ago, we did a Patreon exclusive episode on THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE, only not the Curtiz version surprisingly. Wanted everyone to hear Sergio's thoughts on that excellent film since it steps things up and is more faithful to the true story than Curtiz's take. Thank you so much for listening and mucho gratitude to Mike and Dave for coming on to talk some classics. We briefly mention our love of DOCTOR X, KING CREOLE and THE SEA WOLF!

His mother grew up in Hollywood and was an extra in Our Gang comedy shorts and studied acting at Ben Bard Drama. His grandfather was a silent film violinist who went from bit actor to Universal Studios house composer and eventually founded Corelli-Jacobs Recording Inc. A great-uncle doubled Gary Cooper in The Virginian (1929) and fought Jack Dempsey. Yet another grandfather promoted rodeos with cowboy star Hoot Gibson at Gilmore Stadium. Before the advent of classic films on cable, video or streaming, Alan incessantly watched and catalogued movies on television. He is the author of a pair of notable cinema biographies. Charles McGraw: Film Noir Tough Guy is a critically acclaimed saga of the rough-hewn actor's life and times. Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film is the first comprehensive biography of the director of Casablanca, Mildred Pierce, Yankee Doodle Dandy and The Adventures of Robin Hood among other classic films. The Curtiz book has received enthusiastic reviews from the New York Review of Books (David Thomson), the Wall Street Journal (Scott Eyman), the Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan) and Leonard Maltin. Alan has been the producer and host of the annual Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival in Palm Springs, California since 2008.  Alan is also charter director and treasurer of the Film Noir Foundation. With FNF president Eddie Muller, Alan has spearheaded the preservation and restoration of “lost” films and co-programs and co-hosts several of the annual NOIR CITY film festivals. Alan has produced, written and appeared in documentaries for many classic film releases on Blu ray physical media.  

En este episodio profundizamos en el género del melodrama a través de dos películas tan diferentes como cruciales en la historia del cine: ‘Alma en suplicio’ y ‘Escrito sobre el viento’. Con Iván Gelibter

This will be the week remembered as 'When we didn't watch Morbius'. As such only Tosin made it to the cinema to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Almost made him wonder if Morbius might have been a better shout. At Home, Sharon catches up with the last season of The Last Kingdom, Holly Catches Jessica Chastain on Oscar winning form in The eyes of Tammy Faye on Disney + and Tosin finds a (ex)Netflix hidden gem in Curtiz. Is Netflix killing cinemas? Each week we weigh up what we've seen in cinemas with what we've watched online at home and figure out which provided the best time. At least, we did before COVID jumped in and declared Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney + and friends the winner.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we usually talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they produced in between! Today we give you a themed episode! As 2022 approaches, we dive deep into New Years-set movies through the years. We start with Michael Curtiz's influential Mystery of the Wax Museum, move over to the modern cult classic 200 Cigarettes, and finish with the 2006 remake/flop Poseidon. This is an eclectic mix! Curtiz is one of our great filmmakers and it's fascinating his Wax Museum, which came before his stone-cold classics Captain Blood, Casablanca, and The Adventures of Robin Hood. And 200 Cigarettes features perhaps the most specific, wonderful 1999-represented cast ever. Finally, Poseidon is certainly a film that was made and then released into theaters. We discuss the holiday itself and why exactly it is something we celebrate, the B-Side-y career of the sneaky interesting actor Josh Lucas, and the seminal, early run of MTV Films. Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide. Also enter our giveaways, get access to our private Slack channel, and support new episodes by becoming a Patreon contributor.

This week on THE ELLROY BOYS... Brendan and Sam are joined by dear friend and honorary Ellroy Boy, jack, the perfume nationalist, to discuss a mutual favorite work, James M. Cain's masterpiece, Mildred Pierce. And while we spend some time talking about the book, its origin, and all of it's adaptations, we concentrate on the best one: the Michael Curtiz version. It's a bizarre and baroque masterpiece and we celebrate it's strange power, the torrid and fascinating life of Joan Crawford, how the film revolves around unspoken & unrequited incestuous lesbian longing, the brilliance of Curtiz, why it's not a feminist picture, Cain's big 3, the madness of actors, and much, much more. Thirtysomething is even talked about. On another note, Blauer is unfortunately not on the episode but he's absolutely there in spirit. This is our second look at a Cain noir, so go ahead and re-listen to the Double Indemnity episode if you need a primer. featuring jack @lotus__point, brendan @luso_brendan, and sam @rubberwidow

It's important to discover films before our time... On this episode we go to something that is near and dear our bosses heart; old movies. With the TCM Classic Film Festival kicking off online today until May 9th. It's running at two virtual venues at the TCM Network and the Classics Curated by TCM Hub over at HBO Max in the States. 'Doctor X' and the horror films of Michael Curtiz is helping kick off the fest in style. This 1932 recently restored version premiered recently on TCM. The new two-color Technicolor master was restored by UCLA Film and Television Archive and The Film Foundation in association with Warner Bros. Entertainment. In 'Doctor X' New York City reporter Lee Taylor (Lee Tracy) is doing a piece on a series of grisly, cannibalistic murders that have all been committed under a full moon. Police soon begin to suspect that the murderer works at the lab of Dr. Jerry Xavier (Lionel Atwill), a mysterious Long Island researcher who is doing an investigation of his own. Antsy for an inside story, Taylor breaks into the lab, where he meets and falls in love with Dr. Xavier's daughter Joan (Fay Wray). Academy Award—winning director Michael Curtiz (1886—1962) — whose best-known films include Casablanca (1942), Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), Mildred Pierce (1945) and White Christmas (1954) — was in many ways the anti-auteur. During his unprecedented twenty-seven year tenure at Warner Bros., he directed swashbuckling adventures, westerns, musicals, war epics, romances, historical dramas, horror films, tearjerkers, melodramas, comedies, and film noir masterpieces. The director's staggering output of 180 films surpasses that of the legendary John Ford and exceeds the combined total of films directed by George Cukor, Victor Fleming, and Howard Hawks. Classic cinema is Alan's DNA and a particular expert since he wrote a comprehensive biography on the career of Curtiz and serves as a producer and programmer in his own right on several festivals. In advance of the TCM Classic Film Festival we got to talk with Alan about 'Doctor X' why this was such a unique period in cinema history and why so many noted filmmakers have gotten to use horror as a proving ground for the work they are doing.

"As big and timely a picture as ever you've seen!

Jonas Högberg & Anders Hultqvist celebrate the twentieth episode of English speaking Pod Hard with a swashbuckler-special! Three adventure movies directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Errol Flynn are on the menu today. To help seal the deal the Pod Hard-duo is accompanied by their first guest: Alex Rallo, better known as the enigmatic and all-knowing action connoisseur @HeadExposure on Twitter. Alex is a die hard fan of swashbucklers and brings class, wit and analytical prowess to the proceedings. Needless to say, Jonas and Anders are relieved to finally be joined by a smart person. The tantalizing threesome discuss mighty naval battles, the sounds of arrows, fencing shadows, people falling like fruit from trees, how to capture several levels of action in one shot and the tumultuous relationship between Curtiz and Flynn. And of course, a big shout out to Olivia de Havilland, now 104 years young! "We'll board a ship that's not sinking!" The movies: Captain Blood (1935) The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) The Sea Hawk (1940)

Sümeghy Claudia azon kevesek közé tartozik, akik 40 éves koruk előtt készíthettek televíziós nagyjátékfilmet. A Michael Curtiz (Kertész Mihály, a Casablanca rendezője) életéről szóló film világpremiere a Montreali Filmfesztiválon volt, ahol fődíjat is kapott. Itthon a Duna TV-n mutatták be, és mozikban is adták, az Emirates és LOT légitársaság járatain pedig a világpolgárok is láthatják. A filmipar nemzetközileg elismert szakemberei gratuláltak neki, nevét egyre több helyen jegyzik producerként. A beszélgetésből kiderül hogyan készültek fel a Mecenatúra program pályázatára, mi volt a siker titka és Claudia azt is elárulja szerinte mivel tehetünk a legtöbbet azért, hogy ez az ország jobb hellyé váljon.

"Play it once, Sam. For old time's sake. Play it, Sam." Michael Curtiz's 1942 film Casablanca never seemed to be on track to become a classic. It only fell into that mold after the fact, and maybe that's why it seems to work so well – it doesn't feel like it's carrying any of that ‘award film' baggage. It's just a smartly written script with great characters performed by brilliant actors. Everything seemed to have worked. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our Ingrid Bergman series with Curtiz's Casablanca. We look at why we love this film so much and why it still works so well. We talk about the central performances – Humphrey Bogart, Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains – not to mention the rest of the cast, and why they feel so perfect for this film. We chat about Curtiz and his directing. And we look at the music, notably the song “As Time Goes By.” It's a beautiful film that still works on every level. We love it and have a great time talking about it on the show this week. So check it out then tune in! The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins.

In Episode 93 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. recruits his mom, Jeannine Yaniz, for her podcast debut, as they discuss the joys of the holiday season as well as the latter's long-standing love of the 1954 musical White Christmas. Starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen, the film capitalizes on not only the enduring appeal of its four stars but the iconic titular song. As directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), White Christmas is emblematic of the heyday of big Hollywood musicals. Brimming with memorable tunes, epic dance sequences and witty one-liners, the film emerged as the most successful film the year it was released and remains an annual tradition for many looking to travel back to an era where the promise of song and dance drew massive crowds and when Crosby's warm vocals were the world's most sought-after special effects. On this episode, we discuss how White Christmas has aged in the decades since its release, our dissenting opinions of its relevance as a "Christmas movie" and determine which cast member is really the film's most formidable secret weapon. Also: find out which star served as a last-minute replacement for another iconic performer. So bundle up, and let's celebrate the holiday with the voice of Christmas himself, Mr. Bing Crosby, and his most enduring musical comedy.   SHOW NOTES Want to appear on a future episode of the Crooked Table Podcast?

We're joined by Birmingham blogger Laura Creaven (www.constantlycurious.co.uk) for a discussion of our fourth Michael Curtiz film, the film noir Mildred Pierce. We're glad of her perspective, as this is a film all about women, their relationships and desires. We discuss the film's flashback structure - though it helped the film get made in the Hays Code era, would the film be even stronger with a simple chronological plot? Class is everywhere too, motivating the mother-daughter conflict that's central to the film, and we consider America's class system and social mobility, and whether you could tell this story in Britain. We look closely at Curtiz's use of shadows and mirrors to imply off-screen space and create meaningful, poetic images. And there's a lot to discuss in the construction of the characters, both male and female - we think about how masculine and feminine characteristics are deployed in both, and how roles are reversed. Mike and Laura talk about how they each had differing attitudes to the framing device of showing the climax first, Mike wanting to know how the film would tie its plot up and Laura not caring very much. It reminds Mike of discussing Carmen Maria Machado's brilliant short story The Husband Stitch (free to read here: www.granta.com/the-husband-stitch) with previous podcast guest Celia, and finding a similar difference in the experience. Mildred Pierce is without question a film aimed at women, but as a film noir does the framing device work to capture their interest? And indeed, how much is the film a noir? With shadows and murder and intrigue, it's inseparable from it, but there's a lightness to the image and combination with family drama that serves to adjust it. To José the film is unambiguously noir; to Mike and Laura, the noir elements invade an otherwise normal world in interesting ways. Recorded on 27th November 2018.

Film Noir Foundation charter director and treasurer Alan K. Rode joins us to discuss his new biography of Michael Curtiz, one of classic Hollywood's greatest directors. We start with Curtiz's early life and career in Europe (2:45), his first years in Hollywood (11:15), and his wife and close collaborator Bess Meredyth (14:35). Then we talk about his breakthrough success with Captain Blood and other hits with Errol Flynn, including The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Sea Hawk (17:15). We also discuss the peak of Curtiz's career with Yankee Doodle Dandy (28:05) and Casablanca (34:40). We then delve into some of Curtiz's major noir films: Mildred Pierce (39:45), The Unsuspected (47:35), the new restoration of The Sea Wolf (53:10), and his post-war masterpiece, The Breaking Point (1:00:25).

Edición nº 123 de La gran Evasión Cuenta la leyenda que un médico quiso curar a un herido. Los soldados irrumpieron en la casa del lesionado porque era un rebelde hacia la autoridad británica y al médico lo condenaron a galeras por colaboración con el enemigo. Así es como nacen las leyendas. Con unas sombras sorprendentes dibujadas en una pared de blanco y de negro. Con unos duelos a espada que hacen parecer que los filos comiencen un interminable cruce de palomas, como un cortejo de alas inquietas que terminan invariablemente en un beso teñido de sangre. Con unas sorprendentes coreografías que indican que hubo trabajo por parte de los actores, oficio por el del director e imaginación por el de los maestros de esgrima. Y así también nació una leyenda como Errol Flynn, el espadachín por antonomasia, el héroe perfecto, apuesto, brillante, galán, con un leve aire de pillo, con una acusada dosis de dignidad enfundada en la vaina. Y quizá, sólo quizá, nos hallemos ante una de las mejores películas de piratas de la historia. Eso sí, siempre habrá un poco de justicia por allí, un romance por allá, dos o tres chistes colocados en alguna isla abandonada y unas olas que se transforman en testigos que van y vienen entre tesoros, rescates y desafíos. Obra maestra de esas que ya hemos demostrado sobradamente que no somos capaces de hacer, esta maravillosa película es diversión pura, es una sesión de tarde trasplantada a la noche, es la empuñadura del médico que fue pirata, del condenado que hizo justicia, del capitán que todo marinero quisiera tener...hay que estirarse bien para hacer que la punta de la espada se hinque en nuestro enemigo y mantener un rincón limpio de crueldad premeditada para conservar algo de lo que un día hizo que fuéramos honestos. Y ante esas peleas nuestras sensaciones se convierten en botín de una película que atrapa como una nave que despliega todo el velamen para volar sobre el mar. Somos prisioneros inevitables del asalto del entretenimiento tejido con delicado encaje femenino. Queremos y soñamos con desenvainar ese acero que ni siquiera sabemos manejar y luchar en un abordaje imposible al lado del Capitán Sangre mientras intercambiamos sonrisas de complicidad y guiños de camaradería. Hoy atraca ahí mismo, en nuestro salón, un barco que hace sonar sus aparejos con el quejido propio del tiempo escapado, del momento que se transforma en suspiro, del instante fugaz de la felicidad que produce la evasión de la dictadura implacable a la que nos somete lo real. Hoy, tal vez, nos den alguna recompensa en piezas de oro por dejar que nuestro pensamiento sea tomado por sorpresa y nos dejemos arrastrar por las mareas de la aventura que nunca tuvimos, de la aventura a la que nunca jugamos, de la aventura de la que siempre escapamos porque la valentía es patrimonio exclusivo de las leyendas contadas. Dejemos que nos cuenten una. César Bardés Levantamos la copa de ron y nos lanzamos al abordaje esta noche en Radiopolis... José Miguel Moreno modera, Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y nuestro crítico de cine César Bardés.

After watching it for the first time, we discuss the 1938 film based on an old English legend starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.  This big-budget film done by Warner Brothers (in Technicolor!) was the feel-good summer blockbuster of it's time.

Edición número 110 de La gran Evasión. De todos los garitos de todos los pueblos del mundo; ella entra en el mío. Ya es mala suerte, Rick. Sentado en tu bar, esconde el rictus entre la penumbra y el humo de otro cigarrillo, y le pide a su fiel Sam que la toque una vez más, que toque esa maldita canción. Si ella pudo resistirla él también. Aquellos acordes han vuelto a sonar y tuvo que ser precisamente en su bar. Esa tarde ella, más radiante que nunca, entró con su marido y pidió dos Cointreaus. En plena segunda Guerra Mundial en la ciudad de Casablanca se juntan toda clase de pelajes. Refugiados como Victor Laszlo y su esposa Ilsa, Ugarte, el sospechoso de robar los salvoconductos, el capitán de policía Renault, ese francés que se deja llevar por el viento aunque éste sople desde Vichy, el oficial nazi Strasser, o el señor Ferrari, el gordinflón propietario de El loro azul. El propio Michael Curtiz era de ascendencia húngara y sabía bien que significa el exilio. El inflexible director plasmó a la perfección la angustia de unas vidas cuya libertad o miseria dependía de un visado. La fuerza de los diálogos del guión de los hermanos Epstein y Howard Koch, el idealismo, el romanticismo, la atmósfera creada pocas veces se ha superado en la historia del cine. Pocos tipos hechos de la pasta de Rick. Hombre cínico a primera vista, idealista en el fondo, su figura se engrandece más y más a lo largo del metraje. Rick no quiere ver alejarse a Ilsa en el aeropuerto, su decisión no tiene vuelta atrás, París queda en el recuerdo. Ni las lágrimas serenas de su amante, ni las copas de Bourbon cerrarán la herida del solitario héroe que conoce bien su sitio. Su tren partió una noche lluviosa hace mucho tiempo ya. Raúl Gallego Esta noche en Radiópolis cantamos la Marsellesa, nos tomamos un agua de Vichy, y tiramos la botella a la papelera... Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío, Isabel Moncada, Mamen Torres y nuestro crítico César Bardés desde Madrid.

Sometimes you just can't help the way things work out. The lion's share of this "lost" episode was recorded in November of 2015. The new wrap-around intro and outro was recorded in February of 2016. Today we decided to quit sitting on it and just release the thing. Unfortunately, no sooner than we began uploading to file to our podcast host, then it was discovered that Madeleine Lebeau has died at the age of 92. Lebeau was considered by many to be the last living cast member of Casablanca. After careful consideration, we've decided to release the "lost" CASABLANCA episode as originally planned and hope that people understand the context under which it was created and posted, and don't see it as an insensitive traffic grab on our parts. We're saddened to learn of the passing of this remarkable actress, who (in real life) escaped Nazi-occupied France with her then-husband, who also appears in the film. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to Ms. Lebeau, her family, and her loved ones. Casablanca, a story about love, passion, espionage, intrigue, action, and more than a few laughs is a favorite of one of the Nighthawks hosts, and is a new acquisition of the other. In this episode we discuss the classic old Hollywood favorite and why it still seems to work all of these years later.

No bah hum-buggin around Director's Club this time of year.  I managed to enlist two of my favorite people to listen to -- of course, former co-host and podcast emeritus Patrick Ripoll is back not only for Episode 99, but for Episode 100 in January!  Also recruited this time is the great Sergio Mims of WHPK, who always comes on this time of year to talk about a classic director.  This time, we're focusing on the anti-auteur Michael Curtiz.  Yes, he did CASABLANCA, one of the greatest films ever made, but we touch on a myriad of other titles including THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH & ESSEX, THE SEA HAWK, THE BREAKING POINT, FLAMINGO ROAD, DODGE CITY and so much more! There's a brief mention of STAR WARS at the very end as well as a welcome (?) digression Jim and Patrick style as they attempt to wrap things up.  The big news is that Episode 100 is finally arriving in two weeks.  It will be a combination Best of 2015 episode of course, but joining us is friend and favorite Bill Ackerman, who will be asking us questions about what it's like hosting Director's Club.  Submit all feedback and 2015 favorites to directorsclubpodcast@gmail.com.  You must get your emails in by Sunday, January 3rd at midnight!00:00 - 01:46 - Introduction01:47 - 02:47 - Director's Song By Patrick & Regina02:48 - 43:59 - THE EGYPTIAN, THE PRIVATE LIVES ELIZABETH & ESSEX, THE BREAKING POINT, FLAMINGO ROAD, BRIGHT LEAF, etc.44:00 - 01:15:54 - ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY, DODGE CITY, THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, THE SEA HAWK, etc.01:15:55 - 01:40:25 -  WHITE CHRISTMAS, CASABLANCA01:40:26 - 01:56:42 -  Top 3 Curtiz / Sergio's Outro01:56:43 - 02:07:55 -  Patrick & Jim Ramble / Outro Thank you so much for listening and stay tuned for what will most likely be our longest and most long-winded episode to date come the first week of January!  Remember:  directorsclubpodcast@gmail.com.  January 3rd is your deadline.

Edición número 47 de La Gran Evasión, 28/7/2015. BraveHeart, Mel Gibson en 1995 nos traía este drama épico de 3 horas, lleno de amor, batallas, gloria....Aventuras al más puro estilo del cine clásico, de Mann, de Kubrick, incluso de Curtiz...pero más crudo y violento. Un relato sobre la lucha por la libertad, ya sabemos que la única lucha que se pierde es la que se abandona... con escenas de acción magistrales y una romántica historia de amor que la encumbró con cinco Oscars, nada menos. La historia puede interpretarse como un discurso nacionalista, nada más lejos de la realidad (y mucho menos en la Edad Media), lo vemos más bien como un canto revolucionario, una lucha contra todos los tipos de tiranías, de opresión, hoy, son financieras, antes eran de clases sociales, ó rebeliones de súbditos contra reyes, tiranías todas, al fin y al cabo, igual de injustas siempre para los mismos, para el pueblo, para los que no tienen nada...... sólo un rescoldo de esperanza, que puede prender y convertirse en un fuego abrasador con una simple chispa de libertad, por eso los tiranos temen tanto las revueltas de los pueblos. El príncipe heredero, Eduardo II, Peter Hanly, nos es mostrado como un ser endeble, con una latente, sugerida y más que probable homosexualidad. (Un tabú hasta hace poco) Pero Patrick McGohan borda su papel de villano, el Rey Eduardo I, Longshanks. Sophie Marceau, Isabel I es el contrapunto que suaviza la película debido a los excesos, a los paroxismos violentos en las secuencias bélicas. Esa violencia angustiosa, tan directa como la de Peckinpah, pero menos elegante, Gibson la hace explícita al máximo, difícil de soportar, pero al relato lo vuelve incluso más real, nos hace ver que el sufrimiento humano no tiene parangón, nos hace sentir cada golpe, cada mandoble, incluso demasiado...Luego atempera con elegancia y discreción, mostrándonos momentos íntimos de amor y sensualidad que remarcan aun más la fragilidad de lo que somos....de esta masa de sangre, huesos y visceras que son los hombres, como la noche de bodas de los amantes en el bosque, intima, suave, pudorosa, sensual, elegante, memorable....Romanticismo y Batallas truculentas se dan la mano. En definitiva nos encontramos ante todo un clásico moderno, que ya está grabado en la memoria colectiva del cine con secuencias inolvidables.... Secuencias como la arenga del líder escocés a sus hombres son espléndidas, influenciada claramente por el Enrique V de Shakespeare y su discurso del día de san Crispin, la espada ensangrentada con el crespón de su clan balanceándose al viento, el mítico grito de libertad, las miradas de William a Murron...la intimidad de los amantes..... Pocas veces hemos visto pueblos celtas y la vida escocesa del siglo XIII con tanto encanto y tanto realismo y crudeza como aquí. Contribuye también a eso la espléndida fotografía de John Toll (segundo Oscar consecutivo tras Leyendas de Pasión), unido a la bella partitura de James Horner. Gibson sabe rodearse de gente de primer nivel, y se levanta así un proyecto de fuste y empaque, teniendo en la memoria siempre a Espartaco ó al Cid, sabe enamorarse y enamorarnos de la historia que cuenta, sabe electrizar y conectar con los espectadores, provocar con sangre y apaciguar con delicadeza....la previa de la batalla de Stirling, cuando llegan sus jinetes y se dispone a animar a las tropas con su discurso, desprende una emoción épica como pocas veces hemos visto en una pantalla de cine. Y la batalla, en sí misma, es un esfuerzo visual enorme, magníficamente rodada. Emociona la intensidad y la profundidad de las relaciones entre los personajes, como con Robert the Bruce (Angus MacFadyen), poco a poco van calando las palabras de Wallace, su causa, su ardor convierten a Robert en un aliado, aunque su pragmático padre mueva los hilos y traicione, mienta, y confabule para perpetuar la corona o conseguirla, (como hacen todos los reyes), ese grado de admiración, ese odio a su padre corrompido en cuerpo y alma, harán que ya nunca más se equivoque de bando.... La relación con Hamish (Brendan Gleeson) el eterno escudero, su lugarteniente y su amigo, cuando le dice que el lucha con ese arrojo porque cree que Murron lo ve, "no lo creo lo se, y tu padre también te ve a ti", maravillosa relación, de admiración, de respeto y de amistad Destacar a la bellísima y exquisita Catherine McCormack, una Murron inolvidable, esas miradas con Gibson, con Wallace se quedan con nosotros, sin remisión. su sangre se mezcla con la nuestra. Wallace pasa a ser mártir, Gibson mezcla también lo formidable con lo mitológico, con la leyenda, como ese grito final de ¡Libertad!. Gibson convierte a Wiliam en un Jesús que se entrega, que se sacrifica por una causa mayor, mientras es escupido y apaleado, purificado a través del dolor... Es muy hermoso cuando ve a Murron entre la multitud, tiene ese toque, ese perfume de artista, ese momento que no olvidamos, el pañuelo que cae, el hombre muere y el mito se levanta, nace la leyenda.....poesía. Gritamos Libertad aunque nos torturen, rememoramos el espíritu de un hombre que se negó a rendirse, y se empeñó en amar más allá de la muerte, con el aliento de Escocia en una petaca y este discurso flotando en el ambiente.... José Miguel Moreno a la dirección, contertulios Isabel Moncada, Gervi Navío y Raúl Gallego. “Luchad, y puede que muráis. Huid y viviréis… un tiempo al menos. Y cuando estéis en vuestro lecho de muerte dentro de muchos años, ¿no cambiaréis todos los días desde aquí hasta entonces por una oportunidad, sólo una oportunidad, de volver aquí y decir a nuestros enemigos: Pueden quitarnos la vida, pero jamás nos quitarán… ¡¡La libertad!!” - William Wallace

Of all the podcasts in all the world, 1942's Casablanca had to be talked about on this episode of Zach on Film. Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison's un-produced stage play Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid; and features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, "love and virtue". He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her Czech Resistance leader husband escape the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis. Story editor Irene Diamond convinced producer Hal Wallis to purchase the film rights to the play in January 1942. Brothers Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein were initially assigned to write the script. However, despite studio resistance, they left after the attack on Pearl Harbor to work on Frank Capra's Why We Fight series. Howard Koch was assigned to the screenplay until the Epsteins returned. Casey Robinson assisted with three weeks of rewrites, but his work would later go uncredited. Wallis chose Curtiz to direct the film after his first choice, William Wyler, became unavailable. Filming began on May 25, 1942, and ended on August 3, and was shot entirely at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, with the exception of one sequence at Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys. Although Casablanca was an A-list film with established stars and first-rate writers, no one involved with its production expected it to be anything out of the ordinary. It was just one of hundreds of pictures produced by Hollywood every year. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers VIP.

Casey Robinson assisted with three weeks of rewrites, but his work would later go uncredited. Wallis chose Curtiz to direct the film after his first choice, William Wyler, became unavailable. Filming began on May 25, 1942, and ended on August 3, and was shot entirely at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, with the exception of one sequence at Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys. Although Casablanca was an A-list film with established stars and first-rate writers, no one involved with its production expected it to be anything out of the ordinary. It was just one of hundreds of pictures produced by Hollywood every year. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers VIP.
