[Due to our last-minute addition of two episodes, the podcast feed mistakenly had S5E09a queued here for a few hours this morning - it should now be fixed!] How Would Lubitsch Do It comes to a close with a grand finale. Tim Brayton returns to discuss Cluny Brown and look back on both Ernst Lubitsch's career and the past five seasons of this show. First, we discuss everything Cluny Brown: the film's generosity and humanism, its commentary on British class society, its relationship with the second world war, its full-throated embrace of absurdism, the title character's magnetism, Adam Belinski's status as a revision on a stock villain, and the film's somewhat autobiographical and wonderfully optimistic ending. Second, we close out the show with a look back: we debate our respective rankings (Tim, Devan) of Lubitsch's filmography, highlight our favourite cast members, crew members and collaborators, discuss subsequent filmmakers who bear distinct marks of Lubitsch's influence, discuss whether or not the show's structure accurately reflects the ebbs and flows and our subject's career, and answer the key questions: why Lubitsch? Why a podcast? Edited by Griffin Sheel. A Thanks I started this quixotic project two years ago with the hope of making something that spoke to me and, if anyone else was interested, so be it.

David Cairns returns to discuss the end of Ernst Lubitsch's career and life: a period in which, after a heart attack left him debilitated, he produced a series of films directed by the likes of Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Otto Preminger. We cover Dragonwyck, cinema's foremost depiction of the Dutch patroonship system in what is now upstate New York; A Royal Scandal, a remake of Forbidden Paradise; andThat Lady in Ermine, Lubitsch's final unfinished project later completed to little effect by Otto Preminger. Throughout the episode, we discuss the gap in worldviews between Lubitsch and Preminger, our dream Lubitsch/actor pairings that never came to pass, Billy Wilder's tall tales, Ernst Lubitsch's death, and what comes next. Edited by Brennen King. We have a Discord! Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify NEXT WEEK: A reading of Freundschaft, Samson Raphaelson's eulogy for Ernst Lubitsch.

It's our season finale, and the end of the pre-code era! To celebrate, Tim Brayton returns to discuss THE MERRY WIDOW. We effuse about the film's infectious energy, the many incredible ‘Lubitsch Touch' moments and gestures, discuss Lubitsch's extremely loose adaptation of the Lehar operetta, the French-language version, Edward Everett Horton's greatest role, the film's relationship with love and death, the more “conservative” nature of the film's resolution, and much more! With that, Season 4 of HOW WOULD LUBITSCH DO IT comes to a close, and with it the pre-code era. Oh how we'll miss you, lax Hays office overseers.

You might know David Cairns as the co-founder of Cairns Oneil, but the agency he started with Sherry O'Neil back in 2012 is just one of the many companies he's had a hand in founding. In fact, some of those agencies became the entry points for international holding companies looking to enter the Canadian market. For example, David's first agency—David Cairns & Company, was acquired by Aegis and rebranded Carat. But if you look back at David's passions and education, you would have thought a role in the creative world was forthcoming. A life-long artist with degrees in visual arts and education, David worked for two years as an art teacher in rural Prince Edward Island. David returned to Toronto and took a job as a Media Estimator with Ogilvy & Mather, and it was from there that his media career took off. David Cairns stops by to chat about growing up in Toronto, his passion for painting, working the late shift as a taxi driver, his career in media, and why every entrepreneur should have an exit strategy. **Subscribe to the Media People Newsletter** mediapeople.beehiiv.com/subscribe **Listen & Subscribe** www.mediapeople.ca www.youtube.com/@mediapeoplepodcast www.instagram.com/vicgenova/
From the conflict in 1830's Zululand to a staged robbery in the Gold Fields of Australia in 1859, a developing mystery requires the wit and intellect of Victorian private detectives Findo Gask and Erroll Rait. When Major Gask is reunited with Mary Mitchell, she brings worrying news of an old acquaintance, Jane Malan, whose husband Andrew has been receiving coded threats linking him to the theft of gold. They are in grave danger. When Andrew is murdered, Gask and Rait must race against time to unmask the killer. How was Andrew Malan involved in the gold robbery? And who are the real criminals behind the scheme? Can Gask and Rait solve the case before more lose their lives? To do so they must stay one step ahead of a dangerous secret society, Die Broederskap, and its threatening interference. With vivid period detail and a superb, labyrinthine plot The Case of the Wandering Corpse is a stylish, gripping and enthralling read. This is a novel so rich in historical detail and colour, the reader will feel immersed in the Victorian age.
In our Season 3 finale, returning guest Bram Ruiter joins us to discuss the final film Ernst Lubitsch ever directed that didn't involved on-set sound recording: ETERNAL LOVE! We discuss the film's unusual status as a hybrid silent/sound picture, the strange story of how this film was lost and then discovered, John Barrymore's dipsomaniacal tendencies, and the film's terrific ending amidst long tangents in which break down how, exactly, one might deign to fix this rickety screenplay.

Filmmaker, critic, and academic David Cairns joins us to discuss KOHLHEISEL'S DAUGHTERS, Lubitsch's Bavarian comic riff on Shakespeare's ‘The Taming of the Shrew'. We delve into the difficulties of adapting one of the English canon's most infamously chauvinistic plays, empathizing with 103-year-old art, our confusion over the fact that this film has been so unjustifiably neglected, slipping things past the sensors, Henny Porten's wonderful performances, Emil Jannings' lack of sex appeal, Fritz Lang's flight from the Nazis, and the ways in which this film points (or doesn't) to Lubitsch's future tendencies. Gloria Mercer was our dialogue editor for this episode. NEXT WEEK: Maddie Whittle joins us to discuss Lubitsch's other 1920 travesty on a Shakespeare play, ROMEO AND JULIETTE IN THE SNOW!

Critic and friend of the show Tim Brayton returns to discuss Lubitsch's lo-fi comic masterpiece THE DOLL. Much enthusiasm for this completely iconoclastic curio of a film is shared as we discuss the nature of artifice, history's least-convincing fake horses, the mysterious circumstances under which this film's release was botched, Lubitsch's not-all-that-scathing satire of organized religion, and unacceptably bad silent film scores. Griffin Sheel was our dialogue editor for this episode. NEXT WEEK: Filmmaker, critic, and academic David Cairns joins us to discuss KOHLHEISEL'S DAUGHTERS, Lubitsch's bizarre Bavarian take on Shakespeare's ‘The Taming of the Shrew'.
Season One draws to a close in maximalist style as experimental filmmaker Bram Ruiter us for a particularly exuberant episode in which we discuss Lubitsch's grand Ruritanian comic epic THE OYSTER PRINCESS. Our discussion is wide-ranging and a little giddy due to our excitement at discussing such a thrilling and hilarious mini-epic, so prepare for a slightly looser episode than usual! Lubitsch's growth as an artist, Ossi Oswalda's indomitability, and a long digression about Berlin's film museum are all on the table.

Synopsis In the 19th century, the German spa town of Baden-Baden was the place to be in the summer. Wealthy international tourists could bathe in artesian wells by day, and by night, gamble at the casino or attend performances at a splendid theater modeled on the Paris Opera. That theater opened on today's date in 1862 with the premiere of a new comic opera by the French composer Hector Berlioz, based closely on Shakespeare's comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing', and titled “Beatrice and Benedict” after the witty pair of lovers in the play. The composer himself conducted. “A great success,” Berlioz wrote the next day. “…applauded from beginning to end. I was recalled to the stage I don't know how many times.” Despite the success, Berlioz confessed, “My infernal neuralgia was so bad that I mounted the podium …without feeling the slightest emotion. This bizarre indifference meant I conducted better than usual!” Despite making light of his increasing illness, possibly Crohn's Disease, this opera proved to be his last work, and Berlioz had only a few more years to live. His biographer David Cairns writes: "Listening to the score's exuberant gaiety, only momentarily touched by sadness, one would never guess that its composer was in pain when he wrote it and impatient for death.” Music Played in Today's Program Hector Berlioz (1803–1869) –”Beatrice and Benedict” Overture (Boston Symphony; Charles Munch, cond.)

https://notesonfilm1.com/2022/03/29/thing-aloud-about-film-with-pamela-hutchinson-on-hippfest/ Hippfest is how fans and admirers endearingly refer to the Hippodrome Silent Film Festival that takes place annually at Scotland's oldest cinema – The Hippodrome, built in 1912, in Bo'ness. Under Alison Strauss' guidance, the festival has become a force internationally, bringing to the UK newly discovered or newly restored silent classics, and presented in a varied and imaginative programme under the best conditions: with programme notes by leading scholars (Dina Iordanova, Charles Musser, David Cairns) with accompaniment by leading musicians (Neil Brand), sometimes with scores especially composed for the film (by the likes of John Sweeney and Dr. Chris Letcher), with introductions by specialists (Victor Fan), with an inclusive programme (this year including a strand on amateur filmmaking with a discussion lead by Melanie Selfe and Keith M. Johnston); guest speakers (Bryony Dixon, Lawrence Napper, Donald Smith); performers (Chris Letcher, Paul McGann, Meg Morley) and special events (Mark Kermode in Conversation with Neil Brand and Mike Hammond). José has always wanted to go. This year was Richard's second year at the event. We wanted to find out more; and who better to tell us than Ms. Silent London herself, Pamela Hutchinson, critic, curator, programmer, and also author of, amongst other gems, the BFI classic on Pandora's Box.

Cloudy With A Chance of Brain - Bringing the Cloud Down to Earth
Welcome to the first episode of Cloudy With A Chance of Brain, the podcast where we bring the cloud down to earth. As well as having an excuse to talk to interesting people in the industry, we want to create a space to bring together the cultural and technical aspects of cloud. We spoke to David Cairns, Head of Innovation at Fujitsu, back in April this year about the power of human centric innovation, why the cloud is the best place to play and the best technologies that have really caught his attention this year. David has been working in technology for over 35 years, with experience spanning from Mainframe computing all the way to architecting in the cloud. With such an array of technologies, experiences and innovations under his belt, David is the the ideal guest to kick off our podcast. Hosts Aled Sage and Alasdair Hodge (both at Cloudsoft) also pick David's brains about the importance of failure, honesty and encouraging experimentation to get to the best solutions, and of course discuss how the cloud gives you the freedom to fail fast and to innovate rapidly.

We open the show with no song, we have David Cairns the VP of Business Development at Ridley Windows and Doors and he was caught off guard…wink wink Jim.Then we really open the show with some terribly sad insider info about the lumber industry and what’s really going on, Jim and Manny have to share this with the listeners and the industry. You must listen to what we discovered and prepare your business for more increases and possible hardships ahead. We run the gambit of all of this madness, and we even get into assisting the new trades, the young trades in the hope to help them prepare for the potential of a recession…there is a very good chance it will happen guys. The guys even bring up the Ford Pinto as your go to work vehicle, look it up listeners.Now we get back on track, this show is all about relationships, this is show about making mistakes and how you handle those mistakes, nobody is perfect, and you have to admit that to yourself, your crew, your clients but you have to make sure you step up when things do go wrong, this is one show not to miss. We get talking about windows and doors and how Ridley has come a long way since opening up in the mid 80’s. They handle all types of windows and doors and have worked on a number of Historical or as Jim puts it, Hysterical society, Ridley windows blend in as if they were original but they meet or exceed today’s standards. They won’t give out pricing over the phone, they are not interested in offering a product or service solely based on price. Clients should make the time and effort to walk in and discuss the units, discuss their home, discuss their lifestyle and figure out what they really are looking for when it comes to windows and doors for their home.The topic of reno tv shows comes up and we discuss it, David brings up some good points and Jim and Manny bring up more good points. Being a contractor isn’t always about the actual build, focus on building the relationships, those relationships will get you enough work to last a career.

David Cairns is a Senior Vice President - Office Leasing CBRE and founder of CBRE Forward. David is hyper-active on LinkedIn. If you want to follow along as he questions traditional commercial office thinking, you can find him here. This episode is important because many of the brokerage firms have their own coworking or flex space brand..but most have very few locations AND brokers are a key marketing tool for coworking spaces that focus on offering private spaces. CBRE launched its own flex space brand under the name “HANA” but at the time of this recording, recently announced that they made a 35% acquisition of Industrious which was an investment of $200M. That investment was a big win for the coworking industry at large. If my discussion with Dave makes you curious about how to implement a better broker program for your coworking space, Kane Willmott, CEO of IQ Office, shared the details on his program on episode #129. In this episode we cover: - As a thought leader and "futurist" in the office sector, how many years ahead of the average broker are you in embracing WFA and Flex as part of the strategy? - What are the conversations that your clients are having today about their workplace strategy? What is your role as a broker in those strategic discussions? - How do you think about your compensation as tenants want less traditional space? - What does the role of the broker look like in 5 years? 10 years? - What can flex operators do to help occupiers and brokers understand their offer as part of a multi-pronged real estate solution? - You are one of the few office brokers I see on LinkedIn taking risks by sharing your thinking. Does your risk-taking always serve you?
In today's episode, we chatted with David Cairns who runs the CBRE Forward program. Helping CBRE and corporate real estate strategize and plan for the future of work. David shared his insights into the trends he's seeing with future office space. Will companies return to an office, what will be the size of the office, will companies trade a central HQ for distributed micro-offices, and what will be the future purpose of an office. This was a fantastic perspective from the real estate vs remote company side. For more details and a full transcript click here. To learn more about the show click here.

On today’s episode, I talked with Aubrey Rieder who chose 1941’s Sullivan’s Travels, the comedic romp that isn’t just a comedy. Written and directed by wildly ahead of his time, playwright Preston Sturges, and starring Joel McCrea and the gorgeously tough Veronica Lake Sullivan’s Travels follows the story of John L. Sullivan a multimillionaire director of comedy films like Ants in your Plants of 1941, and Hey Hey In the Hayloft who plans to make O Brother Where Art Thou? an epic that follows the social miseries of the day. When confronted about not having the life- experience of those miseries by his producers, Sullivan has a great idea that if he goes full method by dressing up and living amongst the downtrodden and the poor he’ll truly understand the subject of his film. That is until he arrives back in LA only hours later and discovers a down on her luck but practical actress and that’s where our rollicking adventure begins. So sit back relax, and don’t forget the doughnuts You can purchase Sullivan's Travels here (P.S.

In this episode we discuss one of Hitchcock's most admired and beloved British movies, based on John Buchan's novel. We are joined by a very special guest: critic, author and video essayist based in Scotland, David Cairns, who wrote an essay about "The 39 Steps" for the Criterion Collection edition of the film.
A question that so many of us have is, what does the future of our work environment look like? In this episode (recorded pre-COVID-19), Swish sits down with David Cairns, the co-founder of CBRE Forward and the Senior VP of Office Leasing at CBRE, and Marlon Rodrigues, Brand & Growth at Flexday to talk about how agile work is forcing real estate and offices to change their normal way of thinking about 9 to 5s. Throughout this episode Swish also reflects on how COVID-19 has changed the way that many of us are working and how the need for flexible work has only become more relevant and crucial.

Join in for a conversation with David Cairns, VP of Office Leasing at CBRE Canada and Co-Founder of CBRE Forward. CBRE is a commercial real estate service company and with my own limited experience of commercial real estate, David thankfully creates a picture of the real estate value chain for me early in the podcast. Prior to his successful real estate career, David was a professional poker player. Having been raised by a single-parent household with an entrepreneurial father, David learned to be an independent competitor early. This transpired from being a competitive skier to the competitive world of poker where he earned $200K+ while in university. We explore the 16 hour daily grinds that people don't see on TV, the emotional roller coaster that resembles a venture capital career on steroids and how this experience prepared David to rise from an administrative position to a successful VP in real estate and an intrapreneur.
