Thanks to a listener's suggestion, Michael and Pax watch Glenn Ford, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G Robinson, and Brian Keith in Rudolph Maté's The Violent Men. The movie also features Dianne Foster and Richard Jaeckel. It begins with a couple of classic Western tropes, but takes them in surprising and dark directions.

Praise the Lord! TGMEM is covering yet another adaptation of the book of Exodus, but this one has absolutely zero musical sing-alongs and definitely has an extrabiblical romance that takes up too much of the run time! But then again, it also has Yul Brynner's huge biceps and a hell of a Charlton Heston fake beard, so hopefully those make this movie's four hour journey worth it. What's the 11th commandment? It's “thou shalt listen to The Greatest Movie Ever Made!”The Ten Commandments (1956) is directed by Cecil B. DeMille and stars Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, and Yvonne De Carlo.Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

“The Tragic Life of Classic Cinema Star Gail Russell” (082) - 4/07/2025 Hollywood legend has it that ethereal beauty GAIL RUSSELL was discovered after a Paramount Studios talent manager picked up two hitchhiking Santa Monica high school boys who told him all about the "Hedy Lamarr of Santa Monica High School." Allegedly, he then tracked down Russell at school and arranged for a screen test. The rest, as they say, is Hollywood history. If only it had been that easy. Russell, who was painfully shy and had no interest in a career as an actress was pushed in front of the camera by her ambitious mother and the executives at Paramount who saw dollar signs in her startling blue eyes. This week, we explore the life and career of one of Hollywood's most tragic beauties, GAIL RUSSELL.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Fallen Star: A Biography of Gail Russell (2016), by Steven Glenn Ochoa; John Wayne: The Life and Legend (2015), by Scott Erman; It's the Pictures That Got Smaller: Charles Brackett on Billy Wilder (2104), edited by Anthony Slide; “Paramount Official Biography of Gail Russell,” March 1940, Paramount Pictures; “Gail Russell,” May 1971, by Jim Meyer, Film Fan Monthly; “Stars Attend Funeral of Gail Russell,” August 30, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Private Rites Scheduled Today for Gail Russell,” August 29, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Gail Russell Found Dead At Home,” May 28, 1961, Los Angeles Times; “Gail Russell Threatens to Sue on Wayne Case Charge,” October 21, 1953, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; “Gail Russell Held On Drunk Driving Charges,” November 25, 1953, Los Angeles Times; “Film Star Gail Russell Jailed As Drunk Driver,” November 25, 1953, LA Daily News; “Gail Russell Fights Drunk Driving Charge; Trial Set,” November 27, 1953, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; “Gail Russell Charges $150 Drunk Charge,” January 18, 1954, The Los Angeles Evening Herald & Express; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned:  Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour (1943), starring James Lydon & Diana Lynn; Lady In The Dark (1944), starring Ginger Rogers & Ray Milland; The Uninvited (1944), starring Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, & Gail Russell; Our Hearts Were Young And Gay (1944), starring Gail Russell & Diana Lynn; Salty O'Rourke (1945), starring Alan Ladd & Gail Russell; The Unseen (1945), starring Joel McCrea & Gail Russell; Our Hearts Were Growing Up (1946), starring Gail Russell & Diana Lynn; Calcutta (1947), starring Alan Ladd & Gail Russell; Angel And The Badman (1947), starring John Wayne & Gail Russell; Night Has A Thousand Eyes (1948), starring Edward G.

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.

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.

A terrific satire on the early Warner Bros. gangster films that Edward G. Robinson made popular, about a bootlegger who decides to go legit once prohibition ends. Directed by Lloyd Bacon.

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.

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.

To celebrate 400 episodes of Stars on Suspense, I'm sharing five of my favorites from the first decade of "radio's outstanding theatre of thrills" - a star-studded showcase of classic chillers. First, Orson Welles wishes he only had a brain...and gets one with disasterous results in "Donovan's Brain," a two-part sci-fi/horror epic (originally aired on CBS on May 18 and May 25, 1944). Then, Robert Young isn't a father and he doesn't know best in "You'll Never See Me Again," a classic story from Cornell Woolrich (originally aired on CBS on September 5, 1946). Edward G. Robinson plays himself and "The Man Who Thought He Was Edward G. Robinson" in a comedic thriller (originally aired on CBS on September 30, 1948). Brian Donlevy is a psychiatrist whose new patient is a human lie detector in "Lazarus Walks" (originally aired on CBS on October 31, 1946).

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Valarie Long, daughter of actors Richard Long and Mara Corday. At times our conversation was breezy, at times difficult and at other times funny, Valerie really took some time with this interview because there was so much to discuss.    From health issues that plagued Richard his whole life to some of those same issues that Valerie herself faced, we hear about how her father was plucked from obscurity as a high school senior at Hollywood High School and within no time was working on films with Orson Welles, Claudette Colbert, Loretta Young and Edward G. Robinson. We also discuss her father's first marriage prior to meeting the pinup girl Playboy model turned actress Mara Corday, to a young ingénue named Suzan Ball who tragically passed away at age 22 when Richard was only 23 whose tragic story is one we had never heard of prior to connecting to Valerie. Somehow we end up talking to Valerie about people like Clint Eastwood, Peter Marshall, Lee Majors, Barbara Stanwyck, Roddy McDowell, Dan Rowan and Sit John Mills. We also discuss iconic TV shows like The Big Valley, The Twilight Zone, 77 Sunset Strip, Nanny and the Professor and more. We discuss movies like Tarantula, Sudden Impact, Tomorrow is Forever, Ma and Pa Kettle and Make Like a Thiefand others. It's a rollicking conversation that was equal parts funny, heartwarming and poignant and we thank Valerie for shying away from nothing in our conversation.. But that's how things happen on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story. And this one is a keeper.

It is a timely reminder of the importance of vigilance in preserving democracy against the threats of tyranny and oppression.

EPISODE 60 - "THELMA RITTER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 11/04/2024 There's a scene in the classic 1950 film All About Eve where Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER), a star-struck fan who has infiltrated the life of Broadway star Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS), is telling the tragic story of her past to Margo and her friends. While Margo and company are drawn into the sad circumstances of Eve's life, Margo's acerbic dresser Birdie, played to perfection by the great THELMA RITTER, is not buying her sob story. After Eve finishes, Birdie mutters, "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end." This is probably the moment I fell in love with Ritter. With her heavy New York accent, diminutive size, working-class charm, and sarcastic zingers, she made a career of stealing scenes from big stars and making the most of her time on screen. She played characters wiser than most, and her characters certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. She is a cinematic treasure, and we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

Big Town, a prominent long-running radio drama, captured the hearts of listeners with its compelling storylines and captivating characters. At its core, the show featured a corruption-fighting newspaper editor, a role initially portrayed by the renowned actor Edward G. Robinson from 1937 to 1942. During this time, Robinson brought his signature intensity to the role, echoing the conscience-stricken tabloid editor he had portrayed in the film Five Star Final. After Robinson's departure, the lead role was taken over by Edward Pawley from 1943 to 1952. Pawley's interpretation of the editor was more hands-on, actively engaging in crime-fighting endeavors. Under his stewardship, Big Town became a cultural phenomenon, transcending the radio airwaves and captivating audiences through film and television adaptations. The radio program, which aired from 1937 to 1952, featured a talented cast and crew. Edward G. Robinson's portrayal of Steve Wilson, the crusading editor of the Illustrated Press, was complemented by Claire Trevor's portrayal of his reporter sidekick "Lorelei." Over time, the female lead evolved from a society editor to a star crime reporter, providing a conscience to the tabloid-minded Wilson. The radio series achieved immense popularity, consistently ranking among the top radio programs of its time. It boasted a listening audience of between 10 and 20 million people, affirming its widespread appeal. In the realm of film, Big Town made its mark through four movies produced by Paramount Pictures' Pine-Thomas Productions studio. These films, released between 1947 and 1948, starred Phillip Reed as Steve Wilson and Hillary Brooke as Lorelei. All four films were based on radio and screenplays by Maxwell Shane, ensuring continuity with the original source material. Big Town's journey to television began in 1950, offering viewers a live telecast on CBS. The production later transitioned to film after relocating from New York City to Hollywood in 1952. The television series ran until 1956, airing on both CBS and NBC during its six-season run. Throughout its television tenure, Big Town underwent several changes, including the introduction of a documentary style similar to the popular show Dragnet. This shift brought a new level of realism and authenticity to the storytelling, further captivating audiences. The television series featured a talented cast, with Patrick McVey and Mark Stevens portraying Steve Wilson in different seasons. Five actresses graced the role of reporter Lorelei Kilbourne, adding depth and diversity to the character. Big Town's legacy extended beyond its radio and television incarnations. The series was adapted into a comic book published by DC Comics, reaching an even broader audience. The comic book captured the essence of the radio and television shows, bringing the crime-fighting adventures of Steve Wilson and Lorelei Kilbourne to life in a new medium. The enduring appeal of Big Town lies in its timeless themes and relatable characters. The show's exploration of corruption, justice, and the pursuit of truth resonated with audiences, making it a beloved classic in the annals of radio, film, and television. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

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.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Moms in the Movies (2014), by Richard Corliss; Actresses of a Certain Character (2007), by Axel Nissen; Irene Dunne: First Lady of Hollywood (2006), by Wes D.

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. So don't you dare squeal or it could get bloody as the 588th podcast that can be found on this channel takes a Ryan-sized look at Little Caesar. We are sponsored by Sparkplug Coffee.
