Caballero por un día (The Union Depot, 1932, EE. UU.), de Alfred E. Green, con Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Joan Blondell y Guy Kibbee. Presentación: Nancy Berthier Chick (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.), un vagabundo recién salido de prisión, se encuentra en una estación de tren una maleta que puede cambiar su suerte. Allí conoce a Ruth (Joan Blondell), una corista sin dinero, y los dos se ven envueltos en una intriga criminal en la que cabe el romance, la acción frenética y el melodrama. La estación de tren funciona como un microcosmos tras el desplome del 29. Blondell encarna a la chica dulce al borde de la desesperación y Douglas Fairbanks Jr. a un héroe ambivalente, marginado y rudo, pero a la vez tenaz, con mucho encanto y gran corazón. El sábado se proyecta el vídeo de la presentación del día anterior.Más información de este acto

This Saturday's "Saturday Matinee" on Vintage Classic Radio kicks off with "Our Miss Brooks," featuring the delightful episode "Connie's New Job Offer" from July 31, 1949. In this episode, the beloved high school English teacher, Connie Brooks, played by Eve Arden, faces a tempting job offer that could mean leaving Madison High. As she weighs her options, her decision is complicated by the comedic interference of Principal Osgood Conklin, portrayed by Gale Gordon, and the well-meaning, yet often clueless, biology teacher Mr. Boynton, played by Jeff Chandler. The witty exchanges and humorous situations are rounded out by the talents of Richard Crenna as the mischievous student Walter Denton, and Jane Morgan playing the landlady Mrs. Davis. Following that, "The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show" brings laughter with the episode "Three Grey Hairs" from October 10, 1949. Phil Harris, the bandleader with a knack for trouble, discovers his first grey hairs, leading to a humorous existential crisis that dominates the household. Alice Faye, his sensible and ever-patient wife, provides the voice of reason, contrasting sharply with Phil's melodramatic despair. The episode features Elliott Lewis as Frankie Remley, Phil's equally eccentric friend, and Walter Tetley as Julius, the cheeky grocery boy, adding layers of comedy with their own antics. Lastly, the evening rounds out with a dramatic turn in the "Lux Radio Theatre" presentation of "The Grand Duchess and the Waiter" from December 7, 1936. This adaptation of the popular film follows the unlikely romance between a dignified grand duchess, played by Marlene Dietrich, and a humble Parisian waiter, portrayed by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. The class barriers and comedic misunderstandings pave the way for an engaging tale of love and social commentary, supported by a stellar supporting cast that brings the richness of the era to life. Each episode showcases the unique charm and talent of radio's golden age, offering listeners a blend of comedy, drama, and timeless entertainment.

The early-'30s were a tumultuous time, so it's fitting that we were introduced to violent gangster flicks during that timeframe. The Public Enemy & Howard Hawks' Scarface are both better than Mervyn LeRoy's Little Caesar, but Edward G Robinson's star-making performance is just as iconic as what Cagney & Muni did in their shoot-'em-up crime movies. And this is certainly a memorable film, with the pint-sized killer mowing down anyone who gets in his way. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. plays the Chicago mobster's best friend and while his character isn't as fleshed out as he could be (none of them are in this 80-minute movie, really), it takes dynamic filmmaking and committed performances to make this flick effective at all.

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

Burnett, la película cuenta la historia de Rico Bandello (Edward G. Robinson) y de su progresiva ascensión en el escalafón de la mafia. El personaje despertaba una gran fascinación sobre unos espectadores que, en plena depresión económica, se sentían identificados con el triunfo social del protagonista, muy inquietante para la moral conservadora de la América profunda y del código de censura.

EPSIODE 95 | Bodyguard of Lies: The Ghost Army & Wartime Deception More than 100 million soldiers took part in WWII, but not all of them were fighting with guns. There was obviously a lot of administration and infrastructure to deal with, there were codebreakers and spies, and there were even some who engaged in secret deception to trick the enemy. This episode is not abouts ghosts, but rather the Ghost Army. No, not a battalion of unstoppable undead like Aragorn brings with him against the forces of Mordor, but a dirty tricks tactical deception unit the Allies deployed in Europe near the end of the war to fool Axis commanders. Because, as the saying goes, all's fair in love and war. This episode is partly a cynical attempt to lure in military history fans, but these are also really interesting stories. And you might consider them to have been, in fact, conspiracies, ones that were successful, by and large. Like what we do?

Book: Ghost Story By Peter Straub ​ Film: Ghost Story (1981)   The book was released on 01 January 1979 and would be the watershed moment of Peter Straub career and become a bestselling smash.  His earlier work had great critical acclaim but this would be the book that made him a household name.  The story would involve five elderly gentleman in which  the book explores their five narratives into a chilling story.  This is considered one of the greatest horror novels of the 20th Century .  Some of the characters and location would pop up in other books by Straub such as the novels Koko and Floating Dragon.   This 1981 film would bring together some of the greatest actors from the golden age which would include Fred Astair, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr and John Houseman and would make Alice Krige an actress to look out for.   It follows a group of elderly businessmen in New England who gather to recount their involvement in a woman's death decades prior when one of them suspects her ghost has been haunting him. The film differs from the book as it removes a fifth characters story within the framework of the film.  the filming process was emotionally turbulent for star Fred Astaire, who confided in Irvin that he felt he was going to die or be murdered while shooting the film, and at one point considered dropping out of the production.   Opening Credits; Introduction (1.38); Plot Synopsis (7.30); Forming the Plot (8.21); Book Thoughts (16.21); Rating Ghost Story (45.09); Introducing a Film (48.04); Ghost Story Film Trailer (49.23);  Film Synopsis (51.41); Lights, Camera, Action (57.17); Epilogue (1:29.57); End Credits (1:36.30); Closing Credits (1:37.21)   Opening Credits– Epidermol Sounds Closing Credits – Haunted by The Pogues taken from the original soundtrack album Sid and Nancy.  Copyright 1986 Epic Records   Original Music copyrighted 2020 the Literary License Podcast.    All rights reserved.   All songs available on Amazon.

Suspense - Serial 37, Episode 361 - 370 Title: Suspense Overview: Suspense is a radio drama series broadcast on CBS Radio from 1940 through 1962. One of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio was subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" and focused on suspense thriller-type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era. The protagonist was usually a normal person who suddenly was dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end. The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. The final broadcasts of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, and Suspense ending at 7:00 pm Eastern Time on September 30, 1962, are often cited as the end of the Golden Age of Radio. Approximately 945 episodes were broadcast during its long run, and more than 900 still exist.
