"Suspense" was a radio drama series that captivated audiences from 1940 through 1962 during the Golden Age of Radio. Often subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills," this program was a shining example of suspense thriller entertainment. It specialized in delivering heart-pounding stories, typically featuring some of the leading Hollywood actors of its era. With an impressive total of approximately 945 episodes aired over its lengthy run, "Suspense" remains an enduring classic, with over 900 episodes still in existence.

In this week's RKO Studios Year by Year episode, we discuss our favourite movies from our first round with the studio and how that round shaped our impression of RKO, and then turn to two new 1930 movies: Framed (directed by George Archainbaud), a gangster movie focused on Evelyn Brent's tough/tender mixed-up moll, and The Runaway Bride (directed by Donald Crisp), a shaggy showcase for Mary Astor's affability. But wait, there's more! In Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we debate the meanings and merits of two daring films by Mai Zetterling, Amorosa (1986) and Night Games (1966), and dissect the post-WWII ennui of two by Binka Zhelyazkova, Life Flows Quietly By... (1957) and The Big Night Bathe (1980).  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s: RKO Recap 0h 14m 54s: FRAMED [dir.

EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium. There have been some great ones — OLIVIA COLEMAN's funny and cheeky speech hit the right tone and who can forget JACK PALANCE's one-arm push-ups or CUBA GOODING's exuberance? There have also been some bad ones — don't we all still cringe a little at SALLY FIELDS' “You like me” speech? As we prepare to celebrate the 97th annual Academy Award ceremony, Steve and Nan look back on some of their favorite Oscar speeches and why they resonate. So put on your tux, don the gown and jewels, pop the champagne, and join us for a fun talk about … well, people talking.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Five Times The Oscars Made History,” January 20, 2017, www.nyfa.edu; “Hollywood History: How World War II Forced the Academy to Rethink the 1942 Oscars,” April 16, 2021, Entertainment Weekly; “Charlie Chaplin vs. America Explores the Accusations that Sent a Star Into Exile,” October 24, 2023, byTerry Gross, www.npr.com; “The Most Memorable Oscar Speeches in Oscar History,” March 6, 2024, by Shannon Carlin, www.time.com;   Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; www.Oscars.org; Movies Mentioned:  Stella Dallas (1938), starring Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley, & Alan Hale; Gone With The Wind (1939), starring Vivian Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard, Hattie McDaniel, Butterfly McQueen, Thomas Mitchell, & Barbara O'Neil; How Green Was My Valley (1941), starring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, & Donald Crisp; Sergeant York (1941), starring Gary Cooper, Joan Leslie, & Walter Brennan;  The Devil and Miss Jones (1941), staring Jean Arthur Robert Cummings, & Charle Coburn; Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), starring Robert Montgomery, Claude Rains, & Evelyn Keyes; Ball of Fire (1942), starring Barbara Stanwyck & Cary Cooper; Double Indemnity (1944), starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray & Edward G Robinson; Key Largo (1948); starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G Robinson, Claire Trevor, & Lionel Barrymore; All The King's Men (1948), starring Broderick Crawford, John Ireland, Joanne Dru, & Mercedes McCambridge; Pinky (1949), starring Jeanne Crain, Ethel Waters, Ethel Barrymore, Nina Mae McKinney, & Wiliam Lundigan; Marty (1955); starring Ernest Borgnine.

Donald Crisp took home on Oscar for his powerful performance in How Green Was My Valley, but that was just one notch on his belt during a long Hollywood career that stretched from the silent era to the 1960s and included stints as actor, producer, and director. We'll hear him in "Banquo's Chair" - the story of a Scotland Yard inspector with an ingenious method to catch a killer (originally aired on CBS on June 1, 1943). Then, Crisp is a psychiatrist who tries to discover what haunts a railroad tycoon in "Case History of Edgar Lowndes" (originally aired on CBS on June 8, 1944). Plus, he recreates his Academy Award-winning role in The Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on CBS on March 22, 1942).

From wiki: “The Uninvited is a 1944 American supernatural horror film that was directed by Lewis Allen and stars Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, and Donald Crisp. The film is based on Dorothy Macardle's novel Uneasy Freehold (1941), which was published in the United States as The Uninvited (1942) and deals with a brother and sister who purchase a house in Cornwall, England, that is plagued by paranormal events. The film is part of a cycle of supernatural-themed films that began appearing in the mid-1940s. Dodie Smith began writing the film, and Frank Partos was brought in by his friend, associate producer Charles Brackett. Brackett wanted to have the film directed by Alfred Hitchcock but could not organize plans with him, so Allen directed it. Filming began on April 16, 1943; Allen found working with Gail Russell, who was inexperienced and began crying several times, to be the most difficult part of filming.”NEXT WEEK: Santa Sangre (1989)  Follow them across the internet:Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/ 

This Friday's "Friday Night Noir" on Vintage Classic Radio opens with a captivating installment from "The Screen Director's Playhouse," featuring the episode "The Uninvited" starring the illustrious Ray Milland. Originally broadcast on November 18th, 1949, this episode is an adaptation of the classic supernatural mystery film directed by Lewis Allen. In the story, Ray Milland plays Roderick Fitzgerald, who, alongside his sister Pamela, discovers that their newly purchased cliff-top house in Cornwall is haunted by mysterious spirits. This chilling tale delves into themes of love and the supernatural, creating an atmospheric thriller. Alongside Milland, the episode also stars Ruth Hussey as Pamela Fitzgerald and Donald Crisp in a supporting role, with direction provided by the original film's director, Lewis Allen, lending authenticity and a cinematic flair to the radio adaptation. Following "The Uninvited," the night darkens further with "Inner Sanctum's" thrilling episode, "Study for Murder," which first aired on May 3rd, 1942. This episode weaves a macabre tale of psychology and crime, where a brilliant psychology professor uses his insights into the human mind to commit the perfect murder. As typical of "Inner Sanctum" episodes, the narrative is steeped in mystery and features a twist ending that leaves listeners questioning the nature of guilt and innocence. The cast for this episode includes Richard Widmark in a standout performance as the cunning professor, supported by a cadre of character actors from the era, which helps bring this dark story to life. Both episodes exemplify the golden age of radio with their stellar casts and engaging stories, making for a perfect evening of noir entertainment.

It's 1938 and Warner Bros. is in its prime, and so is Bette Davis, just now moving into the kind of top-quality romantic melodramas in which she'd excel. No longer the studio of James Cagney, Joan Blondell, gangster heroes and Busby Berkeley spectacles, it's now the studio of Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, glossy melodramas and action-adventure heroes; or at least, these stars and genres are co-existing with Cagney, Robinson, John Garfield, and soon, Humphrey Bogart vehicles. Warners is broadening its range and turning into the greatest of the studios (prove us wrong).  As for this episode: The Sisters (Anatole Litvak) stars Davis and Flynn as ill-matched lovers contending with gender role expectations and Flynn's obscure demons. Then in The Dawn Patrol, Edmund Goulding's anti-war masterpiece, Flynn transfers his affections to David Niven and his piebald pjs. Even though there's not a single woman glimpsed and barely a woman mentioned, Flynn, Niven, Basil Rathbone, Donald Crisp, and Donald Crisp's imaginary dog achieve enough emotional intimacy and relationship intensity to satisfy any viewer under Goulding's direction.    Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:                  Warner Brothers Transformation During the Late 1930s 0h 04m 02s:                   THE SISTERS (dir.

In the fifth episode of Season 4 (The Horror, The Horror) Kyle is joined by composer Austin Howard and writer/traveler Reagan Osborne to discuss Lewis Allen's deeply tragic and tonal shifting first attempt at a "serious" ghost story, the exquisitely shot and clearly influential The Uninvited (1944).

RKO, 1936: Anne Shirley and Katharine Hepburn have father trouble. In Make Way for a Lady (directed by David Burton), Shirley gets hysterical at the thought of indulgent 20th century dad Herbert Marshall developing a sex life; while in A Woman Rebels (directed by Mark Sandrich), Hepburn blames stern Victorian dad Donald Crisp for her sexual aberrance. We discuss the careers of the source novelists, Elizabeth Jordan and Netta Syrett, both born in 1865, in America and England respectively; find reason to compare Make Way for a Lady to Ozu's Late Spring, Henry James's The Sacred Fount, and Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt; and generally make sure that we've got our Freud goggles in place.  Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:                  MAKE WAY FOR A LADY [dir.

Banquo’s Chair” is the story of the ex-chief of England’s Criminal Investigative department, one William Brent, and the unusual method he devises to extract a confession from a murderer some 20 years after his being set free for lack of evidence. It was the only case in Brent’s case file where his quarry had escaped his clutches. Brent, much like Sherlock Holmes in many ways, is brilliant, cold, and calculating, with an ego that prevents him from letting go this one stain on his otherwise perfect crime-solving career.

In the twenty-third episode of Season 3 (Manifest Destiny) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann (of the West Coast Popcast) to discuss the last searing and character driven collaboration between Anthony Mann and James Stewart, the King Lear of the Western plains The Man from Laramie.

Bryan Foy's B-movie unit at Warner Brothers churned out some of the best bottom-of-the-bill features of the late 1930s, but B. Reeves Eason's "Horseratio Alger" tale Sergeant Murphy is kind of a nag. Nevertheless, this seldom seen army/racing/equine buddy film is a crucial item in the Gipper's filmography, as it demonstrates the studio's continuing commitment to the coltish actor as a leading player (it's his second starring vehicle, following closely on the hooves of Love is on the Air).   The film may not be any great shakes as a piece of entertainment, but it made a fine conversation piece for your hosts, who zero in on Reagan's unexpected espousal of post-structuralist/critical race theory in a key scene, marvel at the U.S. military's laughingstock/rump status in those pre-World War II/World Police days, and consider the evolution of Dutch's persona more broadly (this was his first chance to play a non-announcer/reporter character).  The supporting cast is mostly composed of nonentities, with the significant exceptions of Donald Crisp (a crucial Warner player of the era) and love interest (?) Mary Maguire (whose life took a bizarre turn the following year when she married British Union of Fascists scumball Lord Robert Gordon-Canning). Also! This episode was recorded in June 2018, not long after the dismal Conservative Party triumph in this year's Ontario Election, eliciting about 25 minutes' worth of spleen venting at the top of the show and prompting Dave to call for the unilateral abolition of suburbia.  Now is a time for choosing.

James Stewart and Anthony Mann team up for one last time--and the only time in CinemaScope--to bring to life one of the best and grittiest of the first round of “adult westerns” of the 1950s. Stewart inches ever farther from his nice guy persona of the thirties and forties, while Mr. Mann serves up a steaming bowl of his trademarked sudden, palpable violence. Throw in a stellar supporting cast including Arthur Kennedy, Donald Crisp, Aline MacMahon and the lovable Wally Ford and you have one of the best FILMS, not just WESTERNS, of the 1950s!

"Ich habe sehr gerne den Herodes gespielt" - Eduard Wandrey über seine unzähligen Theaterrollen Als Filmschauspieler machte er keine großen Schlagzeilen, aus dem Berliner Theaterleben jedoch war er nicht wegzudenken. Und es mussten nicht nur die großen Rollen sein, die er übernahm, auch kleine Nebenrollen nahm er immer ernst und spielte sie meisterhaft. Eduard Wandrey blieb dem Berliner Theaterpublikum in guter Erinnerung und das Kinopublikum erkannte ihn vor allem an seiner charakteristischen Stimme, die er auch als Synchronsprecher zahlreichen Schauspielerkollegen lieh. Bei Ferdinand Gregori Zur Welt kam Eduard Wandrey am 26.7.1899 in Berlin-Friedrichshafen. Seine schauspielerische Ausbildung absolvierte er bei Ferdinand Gregori, damals einem der begehrtesten Pädagogen. Der "Telegraf" vom 2.9.69 wusste in diesem Zusammenhang zu berichten: "Wen Gregori nahm, der war begabt. Bei Eduard Wandrey war sich der Professor ganz sicher…" Am 1.9.1919 debütierte der junge Schauspieler an der Berliner Volksbühne, an der er bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges blieb. Und vor allem die Berliner Theaterbretter sollten für ihn von nun an zum Lebensmittelpunkt werden. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus der sowjetischen Gefangenschaft ging Eduard Wandrey an das Hebbel-Theater, später fand er weitere Engagements an der Volksbühne, dem Schillertheater oder auch am Schlossparktheater. Hier spielte er meisterhaft unzählige Rollen sowohl in klassischen als auch modernen Stücken, wobei das Spektrum von ernsten Charakterrollen bis hin zu kleinen Nebenrollen reichte. Derselbe "Telegraf" bescheinigte Eduard Wandrey: "Der Staatsschauspieler hat Respekt vor jeder Bühnenfigur." Selten vor der Filmkamera Beim Film debütierte Eduard Wandrey 1938 mit einer Nebenrolle in dem NS-propagandistisch gefärbten Film "Am seidenen Faden" von Robert A. Stemmle. Bis 1942 folgten noch einige wenige weitere Rollen: so etwa in dem Drama "Die fremde Frau" von Roger von Norman oder auch in dem Bismarck-Streifen "Die Entlassung" von Wolfgang Liebeneiner. Ihre Fortsetzung fand die filmschauspielerische Tätigkeit von Eduard Wandrey 1948 in dem Krimi "1-2-3 Corona" von Hans Müller. Er erhielt auch 1956 eine Rolle in dem Kultdrama "Die Halbstarken" von Georg Tressler, in dem er als Vater von Antonio Garezzo mitwirkte. Insgesamt spielte Eduard Wandrey in knapp zwei Dutzend Filmen, zuletzt stand er 1974 in dem TV-Drama "Preussenkorso Nr. 17" von Claus Peter Witt vor der Kamera. Die deutsche Stimme Daneben war Eduard Wandrey beim Film ein begehrter Synchronsprecher. Seine tiefe, sonore Stimme lieh er zahlreichen Darstellern in knapp vier Hundert Streifen. So war er unter anderem 1969 in dem Kultwestern "Die Unbesiegten" als McCartney, gespielt von Dub Taylor, zu hören. Er war auch die deutsche Stimme von Bud Spencer, Donald Crisp, Oskar Homolka, Orson Welles, Jean Gabin oder auch James Westerfield, um nur einige wenige zu nennen. Unvergessen bleibt er auch als Fred Feuerstein in der TV-Serie "Familie Feuerstein", die in den Jahren 1960-1966 produziert wurde. Eduard Wandrey starb am 23.1.74 in Berlin. In seinem Nachruf schrieb der "Tagesspiegel" vom 25.1.74 unter anderem: "…zeit seines Lebens ein verlässlicher Schauspieler, der auch noch der kleinsten Rolle eigenwillig und präzise Charakter und Gestalt zu geben wusste." Im Dezember 1972 sprach DW-Redakteur Götz Claren mit Eduard Wandrey über seine Arbeit. Autor: Andreas Zemke Redaktion: Diana Redlich

This episode of the Boogie Basics podcast is a guest mix from our friend Don Crisp. Donald Crisp was born in Chicago's Cook County Hospital May 29. His family moved to Memphis,Tn. when Don was six years old. Don started taking piano lessons at the age of six from his aunt who wanted him to play in church. Don's father, Maurice Crisp purchased an alto saxophone from local jazz musician Sonny Williams when Don was eight. Don played his first professional paying gig by the time he was 15. He also become proficient on the bass clarinet, electric bass, and the drum kit in high school which led to a music scholarship at the University of Memphis. He was strongly influenced by the unique blend of house music that was played and heard in San Francisco during the early nineties. The parties and the energy he experienced led to Don starting his own label and producing 3 EP's on CRISP RECORDS. Currently Don has created CRISP RECORDINGS with the legendary DJ and producer DJ Ra-Soul.(Guy Nado) This collaboration has spawned two releases on CRISP which has found success on dance floors throughout the world and in the top 100 charts on Traxsource. Mr. Crisp is one of the most talented and underrated djs/producer in a market that has recently become saturated with fluff and filler. If you are a fan of quality track selection and heart felt production, then Don Crisp is one of the artists that you should keep an eye out for!
