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.

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.

On this episode we discuss Parental Guidance, an Xmas gift and the wonderful noir Scarlet Street! Scarlet Street is a 1945 American film noir directed by Fritz Lang. The screenplay concerns two criminals who take advantage of a middle-aged painter in order to steal his artwork. The film is based on the French novel La Chienne (literally The Bitch) by Georges de La Fouchardière, which had been previously dramatized on stage by André Mouëzy-Éon, and cinematically as La Chienne (1931) by director Jean Renoir. The principal actors Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett and Dan Duryea had earlier appeared together in The Woman in the Window (1944), also directed by Lang. Local authorities in New York, Milwaukee, and Atlanta banned Scarlet Street early in 1946 because of its dark plot and themes.
"MARY BETH HUGHES - CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 3/03/2025 For those of you who don't know the charms of MARY BETH HUGHES, when she was under contract at MGM, she was dubbed "the poor man's LANA TURNER." It was a rather unfair assessment since MGM gave Lana all the plum roles, and Mary Beth got her hand-me-downs. But still, Mary Beth had great comic chops, and no one played bitchy, hard-boiled blondes as well as she. Despite her beauty and talent, she never managed to get out of B-pictures. She did have small parts in great films like The Women (1939) and The Ox-Bow Incident (1942). She played the good girl as often as she played the bad girl, but when she played bad....you were in for a treat. Her pouty lips, snappy dialogue, and petulant attitude lit up many a lackluster production. This week, we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

Welcome back folks! This time our intrepid hosts discuss the wonderful film The Woman In The Window, Jason's need for an assistant The Woman in the Window is a 1944 American film noir directed by Fritz Lang and starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Raymond Massey, and Dan Duryea. It tells the story of a middle-aged psychology professor who murders in self-defense the lover of a young femme fatale he just met while his family is on vacation. The film is based on J. H. Wallis' 1942 novel Once Off Guard. Screenwriter Nunnally Johnson, having written the script for The Grapes of Wrath (1940), was invited by International Pictures to a picture deal, and The Woman in the Window was chosen as its premiere project. The term "film noir" originated as a genre description in part because of The Woman in the Window.
Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard (One Heat Minute Productions) and special guest Scout Tafoya (author of The Black Book: An Anthony Mann Reader) collaborate to dissect CRITERION COLLECTION physical media releases.Winchester '73Noirish shadows spread across the frontier in this landmark western, the first of the celebrated collaborations between director Anthony Mann and actor James Stewart that redefined the genre with their moral and psychological intensity. Beginning his midcareer transition into increasingly edgy roles, Stewart portrays an avenging sharpshooter whose stolen rifle becomes a harbinger of death as it is passed from one doomed hand to the next. Featuring a stellar cast that includes a touching Shelley Winters, a sensationally sleazy Dan Duryea, and a pre-stardom Rock Hudson, this elemental tale of violence begetting violence broke new ground with its evocation of the West as a no-man's-land of antiheroes and villains.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, undertaken by Universal Pictures in collaboration with The Film Foundation, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring actor James Stewart and film historian Paul LindenschmidtNew interview with film programmer Adam Piron on the portrayal of Native Americans in the western genreForces of Nature: Anthony Mann at Universal, a program on a key chapter in the director's careerLux Radio Theatre adaptation of the film from 1951TrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPlus: An essay by critic Imogen Sara SmithNew cover by Gregory ManchessScout Tafoya - Buy THE BLACK BOOK hereScout Tafoya is a film critic, video essayist, filmmaker, and author of Cinemaphagy: On The Psychedelic Classical Form of Tobe Hooper, the first book-length critical study of the director of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."

EPISODE 49 - “Birthday Tribute to Classic Cinema Star Ann Blyth ” - 08/19/2024 ** This episode is sponsored brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** With her crystal clear soprano voice, porcelain doll face, and fierce acting talent, ANN BLYTH became a much in-demand star in the 1940s and 1950s. 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 “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.

EPISODE 29 - “Jan Sterling: Old Hollywood Star of the Month” - 04/01/2024 Our “Star of the Month” is the fabulous JAN STERLING, who was married to our March “Star of the Month,” PAUL DOUGLAS. Blonde, beautiful, and often deadly on screen, Sterling started in theatre, but made a name for herself portraying tough dames, femme fatales, and sexy seductresses in films such as “Caged,” “Ace In the Hole” and “The High and the Mighty.” However, her upbringing was quite different from these wayward women she played so convincingly; she was actually from a very wealthy and prominent family. She had a stellar career, but many heartbreaks off camera. This week, we discuss the life and career of this most memorable lady.

EPISODE 27 - “Dona Drake: What Price Fame” - 03/18/2024 Latina star DONA DRAKE, who signed a contract with Paramount Pictures in 1941, was many things — singer, dancer, actress, bandleader, musician — but one thing she wasn't, as it turned out, was Latin! While Paramount promoted their new discovery as a spitfire Latina born in Mexico City, Drake was, in fact, an African-American woman from Florida who pretended to be Latin, going so far as to learn Spanish fluently, in order to have a better chance at a Hollywood career. Listen to this fascinating story of one woman who went undercover just so she wouldn't have to play the maid.

I will discuss Laura Leighton's character on Melrose Place Sydney Andrews. Sydney is cut from the same cloth as last week's heroine, Kitty March, played by Joan Bennett. She moons and swoons over her sister's soon-to-be ex-husband Micheal Mancini the same way Kitty melted in the arms of Johnny Prince, her pimp boyfriend played by Dan Duryea. Sydney is a love-to-hate brand of soap queen that is the stuff of daytime and primetime legend. This particular femme fatale came with a large dose of Americana thanks to the show's producer Aaron Spelling.
Joan Bennett stars as Katherine (Kitty) March in the 1945 Fritz Lang film Scarlet Street. Her character is a unique kind of femme fatale- she is innocent and dripping with a sexuality that she is more than willing to use to her advantage, or more specifically her pimp boyfriend Johnny's (played by Dan Duryea) advantage. In this episode, I explore the strange yet deeply relatable struggle between the romance of innocence and youth and the grown-up desires of the flesh. All are easily exploitable by any and all men not just murderous painters and snake oil salesmen pimps.

Burt Lancaster stars in this film noir about an armored car driver who decides to be part of a mob heist in order to hide an affair with the head mobster's wife. Co-starring Yvonne De Carlo and Dan Duryea.
Robert Siodmak's gem from 1949 goes under the microscope in this episode. Motivations for this classic plot involve an armoured car heist, an old flame and axes to grind. Good natured sap, Burt Lancaster, is the inside man on the job whilst making time with his ex, turned gangster's moll, Yvonne De Carlo. Unfortunately for him, head-heavy Dan Duryea is as violent as he is jealous. Josh takes you through the beats of Criss Cross as LTP Noir continues its investigation into the world of Film Noir.
Louis Vittes wrote episodes of The Wild Wild West and The Invaders, and he penned the classic sci-fi horror picture I Married a Monster from Outer Space. But before that, he wrote adventures of radio sleuths like Simon Templar, Barrie Craig, and the Shadow. We'll hear some of his work, beginning with "Ladies Never Lie...Much" from The Saint (originally aired on NBC on January 7, 1951). Then, Dan Duryea stars in "The Willie Baines Case" from The Man from Homicide (originally aired on ABC on August 20, 1951). And we'll hear Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator in "A Very Odd Job" (originally aired on NBC on January 30, 1952).
Book Vs. Movie:The Little FoxesThe Lillian Hellman 1939 Play Vs. the 1941 Bette Davis FilmPlaywright Lillian Hellman is one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th Century who had a complicated life filled with love affairs and massive success and was the toast of Broadway for works such as The Little Foxes, The Children's Hour and Watch on the Rhine. She was also a House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) pariah and was called a liar by author Mary McCarthy on The Dick Cavett Show in 1979. Between controversies and celebrations, she had a 30-year relationship with fellow writer Dashiell Hammett and had many of her works adapted into film. The New Orleans native lived HARD in her 79 years before passing in 1984. The Little Foxes is a semi-autobiographical tale of a 1900 Southern family scheming to gain wealth by any means possible. Regina Hubbard Giddens (played by the legendary Talulah Bankhead on Broadway) is a woman who is married to a man she despises (Horace) and has two brothers (Benjamin and Oscar) who have family money that she wants to get her hands on. His many health problems interfere with her good time. The title comes from the Song of Solomon of the King James Bible: “Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.” William Wyler directed the 1941 movie and followed closely with the original material (save for a few fewer racial slurs!) Wyler and MGM head Samuel Goldwyn loved the original production but felt that Bankhead would not draw in an audience like Bette Davis (who was extremely reluctant to take the part.) Much of the original Broadway cast did make it to the film, including Dan Duryea and Patricia Collinge. Wyler and Davis (former lovers) fought throughout the production, with Davis insisting on her changes to the story and wearing heavy makeup to look older. Forty years later, she put up with having a difficult reputation with widely known easygoing journalist Mike Wallace in 1980 for 60 Minutes. The film would go on to be a hit and would earn 9 Academy Award nominations. So between the play and movie--which did the Margos like better?

Lou Dana - the cop who doesn't like killers - in The Man from Homicide (originally aired on ABC on August 6, 1951). And finally, three retired New York detectives try to solve a fictional crime with a cast of radio actors as suspects and witnesses in "Cops and Robbers" from The CBS Radio Workshop (originally aired on CBS on March 16, 1956).

Prepping versus being prepared: what's it take to keep the little things from killing you when it's snowing icebergs and polar bears (because there's no second chances at zero degrees), and intelligence versus smarts for dumb stuff like tires and recovery (because the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major one in cold weather is you). More fun: western actors and movies you didn't know were worth your time like "Night Passage" and "Ride Clear of Diablo" (with Jimmie Stewart, Dan Duryea and Audie Murphy), and a few thoughts on "Good/Bad/Ugly" versus "Fistful of Dollars" and "A Few Dollars More", and the unappreciated genius of Eastwood, Van Cleef and Wallach.

Dan Duryea was a big screen heavy - equally at home in urban noir dramas and westerns. His looks, combined with his knack for movie villainy, earned him the nickname "the heel with sex appeal." He put that talent for playing crooks and fiends to work when he visited Suspense. We'll hear Duryea plot a murder in "The Will to Power" (originally aired on CBS on January 9, 1947). Then, he's riding a wave of good luck to ill-gotten gains in "The Man Who Couldn't Lose" (originally aired on CBS on December 12, 1947).

Find out what others have done in Episode 14 of my podcast Pop Art where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture and I choose a film from the more classic/art side of cinema. This time my guest, Hollywood hyphenate actor/writer/director/producer Alan Ritchson (his latest project Cicada 3301 will be released…well, when this quarantine thingy lets up) chose the Farrelly brothers first film, the outrageous farce Dumb and Dumber, and I chose the film noir cult classic Too Late For Tears, both about people who find themselves suddenly in possession of a great deal of filthy lucre. And in this episode we answer such questions as Why did Jeff Daniels only get $50,000 to do the movie while Jim Carrey got $7 million? What is the appeal of Jim Carrey? How does Clint Eastwood fit in and what does it have to do with toilets? What is the appeal of film noir? How were women seen in the 1940s and 1950s?

had Stone on before to talk about his very interesting biography of George Raft:The Man That Would Be Bogart.. This show we discuss the usual mobsters, Cagney, Bogart, Raft, Edward G Robinson and Paul Muni as Scarface. Stone talks about less known gangsters. One of my personal favorites ins Jack LaRue. He was handsome, brutal and the perfect gangster. We talked Richard Widmark's breakthrough film as Tommy UDO, the giggling psycho that pushes an old lady in a wheelchair, laughing all the way in the film Kiss Of Death. IRL Richard was a kumbaya kind of guy that went fishing once, caught a fish and felt bad he killed it. No more fishing for Richard. Also Chester Morris, we talked which version of The Three Godfathers we liked best. The Chester Morris, or John Wayne one. Some many gangsters and so little time. We wanted to get Dan Duryea and others there. We had fun and Stone knows his stuff. Thanks much to Stone. He is so fun and knowledgable. He's also my friend. Here's a list of Stones books.

1945's Scarlet Street reunited director Fritz Lang with stars Joan Bennett, Edward G. Robinson, and Dan Duryea and cinematographer Milton Krasner from the previous year's The Woman in the Window. Unlike that film however Scarlet Street ran afoul of censor board's across the country that objected to it's "obscenity," "indecency," "profanity," and "sordidness." Despite that, the film did well at the box office making back nearly three times it's budget. Dan and Vicky discuss this lesser heralded noir film and it's provocative stars. They also discuss the demise of Filmstruck, Dan's emotional visit to an immigration detention center and Vicky's Thanksgiving staycation. Recently seen includes Latin History for Morons, Bohemian Rhapsody, the Suspiria remake, Overlord, 1968's The Devil Rides Out, Pacific Rim Uprising, and series The Haunting of Hill House among others. We'll meet you on Scarlet Street for Hot Date 78! Have a listen and leave us some feedback or a star rating.
...Jayne Mansfield born April 19 was an American actress in film, theater, and television. She was also a nightclub entertainer, a singer, and one of the early Playboy Playmates. she was a major Hollywood sex symbol of the 1950s and early 1960s and one of 20th Century Fox's main sex symbol actresses. She was also known for her well publicized personal life and publicity stunts, such as wardrobe malfunctions. Although Mansfield's film career was short-lived, she had several box-office successes and won a Theatre World Award and a Golden Globe. She enjoyed success in the role of fictional actress Rita Marlowe, both in the 1955–1956 Broadway version and the 1957 Hollywood film version of Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?. Her other major movie performances were for The Girl Can't Help It (1956), The Wayward Bus (1957), and Too Hot to Handle (1960). In the sexploitation film Promises! Promises! (1963), she became the first major American actress to have a nude starring role in a Hollywood motion picture. Mansfield took her professional name from her first husband, public relations professional Paul Mansfield. Mansfield's career came to an end when she was killed in a 1967 car accident at the age of 34. Mansfield's first film part was a supporting role in Female Jungle, a low-budget drama completed in ten days while she was still a student at UCLA. Her part was filmed over a span of just a few days, and she was paid $150 ($1,000 in 2016 dollars[6]).[47] The film was released unofficially in early 1955. In February 1955, James Byron, her manager and publicist, negotiated a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers, who were intrigued by her publicity antics.[56] The contract initially paid her $250 a week ($2,000 in 2016 dollars) and landed her two films—one for an insignificant role and another unreleased for two years. She filed for separation from Paul Mansfield that January. Mansfield was given bit parts in Pete Kelly's Blues (1955), starring Jack Webb, and Hell on Frisco Bay (1955), starring Alan Ladd. She acted in one more movie with Warner Brothers—another small, but significant role opposite Edward G. Robinson in the courtroom-drama Illegal (1955). Dissatisfied with the Warner contract, she hired attorney Greg Bautzer to get out of it. Then her agent, William Shiffrin, signed her to play fictional film star Rita Marlowe in the Broadway play Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? with Orson Bean and Walter Matthau. It became her first major performance, garnering her critical attention, although not always positive, and public popularity.[58] After securing the part in the show, she accepted producer Louis W. Kellman's offer to play a dramatic role in The Burglar (1957), director Paul Wendkos's film adaptation of David Goodis' novel. The film was done in film noir style, and Mansfield appeared alongside Dan Duryea and Martha Vickers. The Burglar was released two years later, when Mansfield's fame was at its peak. She was successful in this straight dramatic role, though most of her subsequent film appearances were either comedic or capitalized on her sex appeal. It was Kellman's first major venture, and he claimed to have "discovered" Mansfield. Information Link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Mansfield
Anthony Mann took an aging genre, the western, and an aging star, James Stewart, and turned them both around in Winchester ’73. This film began a partnership that lasted for several years and several marvelous, gritty films. Mann also populates this film (as well as his other westerns) with a fascinating array of players from the amazingly saucy Shelley Winters to the psychotic, giggling Dan Duryea, here giving Richard Widmark a run for his money!
Humphrey Bogart, on loan from his home studio of Warner Brothers, would often show up to the set of Columbia's 1943's war film Sahara hung over and ready for battle -- both on and off camera. He was known to mix it up with Hungarian director Zoltan Korda, continually fighting over his character's dialogue. Bruce Bennett, who played Waco in the film, later told Korda that Bogart was using the conflicts as an opportunity to memorize his lines! The stellar supporting cast includes Dan Duryea, Rex Ingram, Kurt Krueger, Oscar nominee J. Carol Naish and a tank named Lulubelle. With Sahara, Dan and Vicky discuss their first war movie and their first movie starring Humphrey Bogart. Their recently seen includes 1943's Heaven Can Wait, Lady in Cement, Three Days of the Condor, slasher film Lighthouse, the Keanu Reeves' starring 47 Ronin and Aussie shark thriller Bait. Vicky's also catches us up on her TV viewing -- some Handmaid's Tale and lots and lots of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Hot Date 51 also touches on the musical Oklahoma, some World War II history and a young Vicky being scared away from the 1977 horror film The Sentinel. "Tanks" for listening to Hot Date 51: Sahara. And please leave us some feedback.
"Suspense" - originally broadcast April 7, 1952, 65 years ago. Episode titled "Remember Me," starring Dan Duryea. A robber shoots an old Jewish shopkeeper and then is forced to deal with a girl who witnessed the crime. The girl seems to have attended Stuyvesant High School with him.
"You must hate me very much." Bette Davis was never one to shy away from roles, except perhaps from those that weren't meaty enough. And she found a lot to work with in Lillian Hellman's play “The Little Foxes” when William Wyler brought it to the big screen. And even though it meant endless fights on set with her director, Davis received her fifth Oscar nomination for her performance. It's a dark film, but certainly one worth watching. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our Bette Davis series with Wyler's 1941 film The Little Foxes. We talk about Davis and deliberate on why she's someone worth discussing, or even someone worth writing songs about. We look at Wyler and his career, and how despite the fact that he doesn't really stand out as an auteur that he's still someone who created a large quantity of incredible films. We discuss Hellman and how her Communist beliefs might have influenced her script. We hit on Gregg Toland and his deep focus he's still practicing after just having finished Citizen Kane, bringing a lot to the table with this film. And we look at the rest of the cast, including Teresa Wright, Herbert Marshall, David Carlson, Patricia Colinge and Dan Duryea, and what they add to the film. Like There Will Be Blood, this is a film about wicked people trying to climb to the top. It's a tough film to watch but everyone in it is so compelling, it's hard to turn off. We have a great conversation about it this week so check it out then tune in!

"We've been patriotically slaving for three years to help a spy ring!" “Ministry of Fear” was Fritz Lang's third film of four anti-Nazi movies that he made, but it feels less anti-Nazi and more just straight up Hitchcockian thriller. And while Lang didn't like the final result of the film and Graham Greene, who wrote the novel on which the movie's based, also didn't like the film, it's a very fun film to watch and feels a bit like Lang lite. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Lang series with his 1944 film, “Ministry of Fear.” We talk about why this film works for us, even if it still has story problems like he's had in all of his other films so far, and debate as to what it was that caused him and Greene to dislike it so much. We discuss Seton Miller, the screenwriter and producer of this movie, and look at the control he exerted over this film, forcing Lang to make the film Miller wanted, right down to the last shot. We chat about the performances from Ray Milland, Marjorie Reynolds, Carl Esmond, Hillary Brooke, Percy Waram and most notably Dan Duryea, and look at what they each bring to the table. We touch on the cinematography by Henry Sharp, a studio contract DP Lang had to work with but still someone who ended up making this film feel very noirish and Langian. And we discuss our feelings about Lang as a director, looking at what we got out of this series and analyzing Lang's work compared with how he ran his sets. It's a fun film to watch, even if it doesn't feel as important as some of Lang's earlier films. We have a great time talking about it on the show this week, commenting that this certainly will be an easy movie to put on down the road to enjoy all over again. So check out the movie then tune in! Film Sundries Watch this film: Amazon • YouTube Original theatrical trailer Original poster artwork The Ministry of Fear: An Entertainment by Graham Greene Flickchart Letterboxd Trailers of the Week Andy's Trailer: Phantom Boy — "I love animated films in general, but after having so much fun with “A Cat in Paris,” I can't wait to see what these filmmakers do with this story. A boy in a wheelchair who can project himself out of his body and does so to help a detective bring down some gangsters? It sounds like the stuff I dreamt up as a child and they pulled it straight from my head. I'm very much looking forward to this one." Pete's Trailer: The Wailing — "Regular listeners know I'm not usually one for horror, but this film has that visual vibe I find appealing, hopefully more of a thriller than a grotesque, and it's in Korean, so I'm banking on that helpful degree of abstraction."

And while Lang didn’t like the final result of the film and Graham Greene, who wrote the novel on which the movie’s based, also didn’t like the film, it’s a very fun film to watch and feels a bit like Lang lite. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Lang series with his 1944 film, “Ministry of Fear.” We talk about why this film works for us, even if it still has story problems like he’s had in all of his other films so far, and debate as to what it was that caused him and Greene to dislike it so much. We discuss Seton Miller, the screenwriter and producer of this movie, and look at the control he exerted over this film, forcing Lang to make the film Miller wanted, right down to the last shot. We chat about the performances from Ray Milland, Marjorie Reynolds, Carl Esmond, Hillary Brooke, Percy Waram and most notably Dan Duryea, and look at what they each bring to the table. We touch on the cinematography by Henry Sharp, a studio contract DP Lang had to work with but still someone who ended up making this film feel very noirish and Langian. And we discuss our feelings about Lang as a director, looking at what we got out of this series and analyzing Lang’s work compared with how he ran his sets. It’s a fun film to watch, even if it doesn’t feel as important as some of Lang’s earlier films. We have a great time talking about it on the show this week, commenting that this certainly will be an easy movie to put on down the road to enjoy all over again. So check out the movie then tune in!

A boy in a wheelchair who can project himself out of his body and does so to help a detective bring down some gangsters? It sounds like the stuff I dreamt up as a child and they pulled it straight from my head. I’m very much looking forward to this one."

“I've wanted to laugh in your face ever since I first met you. You're old and ugly and I'm sick of you! Sick! Sick! Sick!" Fritz Lang may have often had conflicts with his producers, but when he turned out a great film, he made so great that it's easy to look past his argumentative nature and just focus on the end product. Well, perhaps more so now than at the time. Sure, he had his stinkers, but looking at a magnificent film like “Scarlet Street,” it's easy to forgive any battles he started and just relish the brilliance of the story. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Film Noir series with Lang's 1945 masterpiece, “Scarlet Street.” We delve into the murky depths of the theme of the story — is it one more of guilt or one more of jealousy? We wallow in the emasculated character of Christopher Cross, played by Edward G. Robinson, and his nemeses Kitty and Johnny, played by Joan Bennett and Dan Duryea. We dig in the shadows of Fritz Lang's history and the cinematic tools he uses to tell his story here along with his cinematographer, his editor, and his composer. And we lose ourselves in the haunting paintings of John Decker, wondering if he really lacks perspective just like Cross does. It's a fabulous film and a very strong representation of film noir. Definitely check this one out — there's a gorgeous print of it out there which makes the film look brand new — then tune in to the show!

Edición número 23 de La Gran Evasión. 10-2-2015. Hoy la cita la tenemos con uno de los grandes maestros de este invento llamado cine, Fritz Lang, el hombre del monóculo, y una de sus grandes obras, rodada en Hollywood en su época americana, La Mujer del Cuadro, con guión y producción de Nunnally Johnson. Cine negro psicoanalítico muy en boga en la época, Lang rodará filmes muy relacionados en el tono y la historia como "Perversidad" y "Secreto tras la Puerta". La fascinación por un cuadro desencadena el conflicto. El profesor Wanley (Edward G.Robinson), un ciudadano medio que se aburre con su vida, queda hipnotizado por los encantos de la turbadora Joan Bennet, la desconocida que se refleja en ese cuadro que contempla. El hombre corriente, aparentemente inofensivo, que en una situación límite es capaz de asesinar, e incluso de planear el envenenamiento del chantajista, perfectamente trazado por Dan Duryea, otro actor habitual de este periodo americano, el tipo con sonrisa perversa que entra en el apartamento de Alice, la personificación del mal que te acorrala en todo su esplendor languiano. La atmósfera enrarecida, la telaraña de acontecimientos fatales que van envolviendo al protagonista, el desenlace inesperado, la luz y las sombras, y la visión arquitectónica y tenebrosa de un hombre que nace con el cine. Fritz Lang utiliza el montaje, los planos austeros, los objetos y los decorados para estremecer al espectador. Un espectador que se pone de parte de ese hombre solo ante el destino, que se delata continuamente, porque no tiene alma de criminal, pero sí instinto de supervivencia y deseos ocultos. Entre la luces y sombras de una noche de febrero, charlan en el programa: José Miguel Moreno, Adrián Gómez, Raúl Gallego, y nuestro crítico de cine César Bardés.
"Las pequeñas zorras han vivido en todas las épocas. Esta familia vivió en el profundo sur en el año 1900" Desde los primeros títulos de crédito el perfeccionista William Wyler nos sumerge en ese sur tradicional y altivo de los Estados Unidos. Esta elegante adaptación de la obra de teatro de Lillian Hellman, "The little foxes", fue realizada en 1941 y traducida al castellano como "La loba", En su tercera película con Bette Davis como estrella principal, tras "Jezabel" y "La Carta", Wyler nos ofrece una joya del cine universal. Tres hermanos obsesionados con el poder y el dinero, sin ningún tipo de escrúpulos, intentarán forjar una fortuna mediante el negocio del algodón y la mano de obra barata procedente de los antiguos esclavos, convertidos en sirvientes explotados. Asociado con el mítico director de fotografía Greg Toland, Wyler rodará secuencias imborrables, utilizando innovadoras técnicas para la época como la profundidad de campo, recurso que permitía resaltar lo que se ve en primer plano y al mismo tiempo mostrar lo que ocurre en segundo término. El grupo de actores que procedía del prestigioso National Theatre ya conocía al dedillo sus respectivos papeles, puesto que habían representado la obra de Hellman en Broadway. Dan Duryea (el tonto Leo), Carl Benton Reid y Charles Dingle (los hermanos Hubbard), y Patricia Collinge (la mortificada señora Birdie). En este intenso melodrama asistimos a un duelo de actrices que gana la luminosa Bette Davis, la malvada loba Regina, la perversidad hecha mujer, sin dejar atrás a la debutante Theresa Wright como Alexandra, la hija, y su padre Horace (Herbert Marshall). Alexandra va siendo testigo a lo largo de la historia del matrato de su tío a la lastimosa Birdie, de los tejemanejes entre su madre y los dos burdos hermanos, y finalmente, en el clímax de la película, abrirá los ojos para escapar de las garras de ese nido de alimañas en que ha crecido. Una noche fría con unos tipos que charlan entusiasmados con la película: José Miguel Moreno, Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío, Helio Salas, y nuestro crítico de cine César Bardés.
Big screen villain Dan Duryea takes a heroic turn as Lt. Lou Dana, The Man from Homicide. Dana is a hard-boiled cop who shoots straight and throws a mean punch. His outlook on his job is summed up with his mantra: "I don't like killers." This short-lived series blends the two-fisted pulp persona of a private eye with the dogged cops of police procedurals. We'll hear Duryea as Dana in "The Franklin Kelso Case," originally aired on ABC on July 16, 1951.
Noir November concludes with a discussion of Paul Wendkos's 1957 The Burglar and the 1971 adaptation of the same David Goodis novel, Le Casse.
This week, we venture back into the world of film noir with 1957's The Burglar starring Dan Duryea and Jayne Mansfield. This one is fairly obscure. Does it deserve a wider audience? Tune in to find out. We also chat about Gone Girl, Scooby-Doo, Neighbors and Bernie. Make sure to check out The Projection Booth's coverage of The Burglar coming later this month and support Tyler's project at The Macho Bullshit Movie Cast. 206-350-9002 marriedwithclickers@gmail.com http://projection-booth.blogspot.ca/ http://machobullshitmoviecast.libsyn.com/ www.stitcher.com/podcast/married-with-clickers
The first of eight collaborations between noir specialist Anthony Mann and a newly flinty James Stewart, this psychological western exudes corrosive post-war anxiety. It also trailblazed a groundbreaking profit participation deal (engineered by Stewart's agent Lew Wasserman) that transformed the industry. Dan Duryea shines in a classic bad guy performance that defined his career.

Lux Radio Theater strove to feature as many of the original stars of the original stage and film productions as possible, usually paying them $5,000 an appearance to do the show. It was when sponsor Lever Brothers (who made Lux soap and detergent) moved the show from New York City to Hollywood in 1936 that it eased back from adapting stage shows and toward adaptations of films. The first Lux film adaptation was The Legionnaire and the Lady, with Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable, based on the film Morocco. That was followed by a Lux adaptation of The Thin Man, featuring the movie's stars, Myrna Loy and William Powell. Many of the greatest names in film appeared in the series, most in the roles they made famous on the screen, including Abbott and Costello, Lauren Bacall, Lucille Ball, Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Charles Boyer, Claudette Colbert, Gary Cooper, Joseph Cotton, Bing Crosby, Dan Duryea, Ava Gardner, Cary Grant, Bob Hope, Vivien Leigh, Agnes Moorehead, Vincent Price, Donna Reed, Frank Sinatra, Ann Sothern, Barbara Stanwyck, James Stewart, Gene Tierney, John Wayne, Jane Wyman, Orson Welles and Loretta Young.

Lux Radio Theater, one of the genuine classic radio anthology series (NBC Blue Network (1934-1935); CBS (1935-1954); NBC (1954-1955)) adapted first Broadway stage works, and then (especially) films to hour-long live radio presentations. It quickly became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, running more than twenty years. The program always began with an announcer proclaiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, Lux presents Hollywood!" Cecil B. DeMille was the host of the series each Monday evening from June 1, 1936, until January 22, 1945. On one occasion, however, he was replaced by Leslie Howard.
