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.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Saga of the Earls of Orkney, as told in the 13th Century by an unknown Icelander. This was the story of arguably the most important, strategically, of all the islands in the British Viking world, when the Earls controlled Shetland, Orkney and Caithness from which they could raid the Irish and British coasts, from Dublin round to Lindisfarne. The Saga combines myth with history, bringing to life the places on those islands where Vikings met, drank, made treaties, told stories, became saints, plotted and fought.With Judith Jesch Professor of Viking Studies at the University of NottinghamJane Harrison Archaeologist and Research Associate at Oxford and Newcastle UniversitiesAnd Alex Woolf Senior Lecturer in History at the University of St AndrewsProducer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Theodore M.

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.

"What is it you can't face?" We watched "The Sound of Music" from 1965 with our friend Mitchell Anderson and we could never answer to a whistle! Whether you grew up in a "The Sound of Music" house, a "Mary Poppins" house, or both we all grew up with a song in our hearts thanks to the legendary, the one and only Dame Julie Andrews. Even if you (sadly) didn't come up watching this movie you most likely know ALL the songs - they're built into the fabric of our culture whether you like it or not. Was "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" in a shampoo commercial? Why exactly is "My Favorite Things" now suddently a Christmas song? Listen, theres a reason pop stars are giving up residuals to include samples of these songs - the music slaps and it will just make your music better (we're looking at you Gwen Stafani and Ariana Grande). Aside from Julie Andrews, AND the iconic music we are also here to talk about one miss Eleanor Parker as The Baroness. While Julie is serving humble beginnings and dresses evern the poor don't want, Eleanor Parker invented glamour and is forever the Queen of looks. Aboslutely no notes. This movie may be pushing three hours, but we don't care - it flies by. The last act might be a little uncomfortable to get through for modern audiences and we get it, but Christopher Plummer sees that flag hanging above his door, yanks it down and rips it to shreds with his bare hands.

We're joined for this dive into David E. Kelley's legalverse by Eleanor Parker of the Bygones Podcast, which examines Ally McBeal episode by episode through modern eyes, as we talk Denny Crane's penchant for guns, the other Star Trek connections that Boston Legal had over the years, the odd tone of the show, the surprisingly starry cast and how the anti-environmental message of Green Christmas has aged very badly, all while polishing off a bottle of port.

Commonplace Quotes: But if literature teaches us anything at all, it is this, that we have an eternal element free from care and fear which can survey the things in life we call evil with serenity, that is, not without appreciating their quality but without any disturbance of our spiritual equilibrium. Not in the same way, but in some such way, we shall all doubtless survey our own story when we know it, and a great deal more of the Whole Story. J. R. R. Tolkien, from The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien This final argument is an indication of how monastic writers like Ælfric sought to understand the cycle of the seasons. They wanted to read and interpret the natural world, to learn to recognize the meaning God had planted in it. They saw time and seasons, from the very first day of the world, as carefully arranged by God with method and purpose, so they believed it would be possible to organize the calendar, not according to the randomness of custom and inherited tradition, but in a way that reflected that divine plan. Eleanor Parker, from Winters in the World It is both the glory and the shame of poetry that its medium is not its private property, that a poet cannot invent his words and that words are products, not of nature, but of a human society which uses them for a thousand different purposes. In modern societies where language is continually being debased and reduced to nonspeech, the poet is in constant danger of having his ear corrupted, a danger to which the painter and the composer, whose media are their private property, are not exposed. On the other hand, he is more protected than they from another modern peril, that of solipsist subjectivity; however esoteric a poem may be, the fact that all its words have meanings which can be looked up in a dictionary makes it testify to the existence of other people Even the language of Finnegan's Wake was not created by Joyce ex nihilo; a purely private verbal world is not possible. W. H. Auden, from The Dyer's Hand Cliche Came Out of Its Cage by C. S. Lewis You said 'The world is going back to Paganism'. Oh bright Vision! I saw our dynasty in the bar of the House Spill from their tumblers a libation to the Erinyes, And Leavis with Lord Russell wreathed in flowers, heralded with flutes, Leading white bulls to the cathedral of the solemn Muses To pay where due the glory of their latest theorem. Hestia's fire in every flat, rekindled, burned before The Lardergods. Unmarried daughters with obedient hands Tended it By the hearth the white-armd venerable mother Domum servabat, lanam faciebat. at the hour Of sacrifice their brothers came, silent, corrected, grave Before their elders; on their downy cheeks easily the blush Arose (it is the mark of freemen's children) as they trooped, Gleaming with oil, demurely home from the palaestra or the dance. Walk carefully, do not wake the envy of the happy gods, Shun Hubris. The middle of the road, the middle sort of men, Are best. Aidos surpasses gold. Reverence for the aged Is wholesome as seasonable rain, and for a man to die Defending the city in battle is a harmonious thing. Thus with magistral hand the Puritan Sophrosune Cooled and schooled and tempered our uneasy motions; Heathendom came again, the circumspection and the holy fears ... You said it. Did you mean it? Oh inordinate liar, stop. Or did you mean another kind of heathenry? Think, then, that under heaven-roof the little disc of the earth, Fortified Midgard, lies encircled by the ravening Worm. Over its icy bastions faces of giant and troll Look in, ready to invade it. The Wolf, admittedly, is bound; But the bond wil1 break, the Beast run free. The weary gods, Scarred with old wounds the one-eyed Odin, Tyr who has lost a hand, Will limp to their stations for the Last defence. Make it your hope To be counted worthy on that day to stand beside them; For the end of man is to partake of their defeat and die His second, final death in good company. The stupid, strong Unteachable monsters are certain to be victorious at last, And every man of decent blood is on the losing side. Take as your model the tall women with yellow hair in plaits Who walked back into burning houses to die with men, Or him who as the death spear entered into his vitals Made critical comments on its workmanship and aim.

Literature is full of talking animals, from modern works like Paddington to Middle English works like The Owl and The Nightingale. But why do writers create non-speaking animals that speak? And why employ animals in literature at all? In this episode of OxPods, English Language and Literature undergraduate Chloe Smith interviews Dr Eleanor Parker, a Lecturer in Medieval English Literature at Brasenose College, Oxford, whose research focuses on literature in England in the centuries before and after the Norman Conquest. They discuss how Mediaeval poets wrote about animals and how understanding human-animal dynamics can influence how we treat our planet in the present.

How would Christian queens have lived in England around the seventh century? How different were their lives from the Disney princesses we see in the movies? And what was their role in bringing Christianity to England? Emma, Trinity, and Christian journey to seventh-century England and explore the captivating stories of some of these queens and their kings with the expert guidance of Dr. Eleanor Parker, Lecturer in Medieval English Literature at Brasenose College in Oxford and author of many books on this week's episode of Kids Talk Church History. Show Notes: Episode 11: Augustine of Hippo Eleanor Parker's award-winning blog, A Clerk of Oxford Eleanor Parker books John 1:1-5 in Old English (read by Dr. Parker): 1. On frymðe wæs Word, and þæt Word wæs mid Gode, and God wæs þæt Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. Þæt wæs on fruman mid Gode. He was in the beginning with God. 3. Ealle þing wæron geworhte ðurh hyne; and nan þing næs geworht butan him. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4. Þæt wæs lif þe on him geworht wæs; and þæt lif wæs manna leoht. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5. And þæt leoht lyht on ðystrum; and þystro þæt ne genamon. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. * Image attribution: © Ad Meskens / Wikimedia Commons
Eleanor Parker reflects on the Anglo-Saxon poem, The Dream of the Rood.
An Oxford medievalist discusses the Anglo-Saxon poem The Dream of the Rood. Peter and Susannah bring on Eleanor Parker to discuss this poetic portrayal of the crucifixion from the point of view of the cross. They discuss the medieval vision of the world, linked as it was to the cycles of the seasons, and talk about the way that nineteenth century speculations about the Pagan roots of Easter reveal a misunderstanding of the Anglo-Saxon worldview. The desire to connect to nature that is at the root of the search for putative pagan origins overlooks the way in which Christianity and Judaism themselves are deeply rooted in the natural world. Dr. Parker then gives listeners a brief tour of the Springtime of the Anglo-Saxon year, and tells us what her favorite Spring holiday is.
We are going back in time to celebrate a three-time Oscar nominee of the 1950s and The Baroness(!) Eleanor Parker. Eleanor was a big star of Hollywood's Golden Age with co-stars such as Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra and John Wayne yet largely is remembered for her role in The Sound of Music (Robert Wise, 1965). Join us as we dive into Eleanor's career and ponder why she is not as famous as her contemporaries. We discuss her thrilling rise to fame; her Oscar-nominated roles (Caged (John Cromwell, 1950), Detective Story (William Wyler, 1951) and Interrupted Melody (Curtis Bernhardt, 1955)); her iconic performance as The Baroness in The Sound of Music; and her career into the 1970s and beyond. We then wrap up our Eleanor Parker episode by sharing some film roles we'd have loved to have seen her take on in her career.

Ruthless mercenaries who happened to be very good at PR or a dynamic force in Medieval European politics? Rana Mitter and guests Judith Green and Eleanor Parker discuss the current state of scholarship on the Normans. Plus: from the idea of the Norman yoke, to dreams of Hereward the Wake, to contemporary discussions about the right to roam and Brexit, what role have ideas of the Normans and Anglo-Saxons played in the British political imagination? Historian of ideas Sophie Scott Brown, and Phillip Blonde, director of the think tank Res Publica join Rana to debate. Judith Green's book The Normans: Power, Conquest and Culture in 11th Century Europe looks at the role the Normans played in shaping their world, from Northern France and England, to Southern Italy, the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. Eleanor Parker's book Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England looks at the generation that came of age as the Normans invaded and consolidated their hold over England, and examines the role they played in shaping the society that followed.

Hope in Apocalypse, Part 2: Peter and Susannah speak with Eleanor Parker about Archbishop Wulfstan and his sermon in 1014 calling the English to return to fidelity with God and each other, in the face of the apocalyptic Viking invasions. They also discuss what happened after those invasions succeeded: Wulfstan worked with the new king, Cnut, to draft just laws for this new Viking-Anglo Saxon polity. Then, Peter and Susannah talk with extremely online illustrator and self-described mystical idiot Owen Cyclops about his journey from general weirdness to Christian weirdness. They get into his cartoon for Plough, and his interest in the specific American temper of Christianity, and how universal principles and teachings get refracted by different cultures.

1066 is a year carved into the history of western Europe. It radically transformed the cultural, political and built landscape of England in a way that is hard to overstate - and yet its immediate aftermath is often forgotten. By Domesday, just 20 years later, around 94 percent of England's land remained in the hands of the Normans and their allies, and their children would inherit its vast majority.So what became of those Anglo-Saxons who were too young to fight in 1066? In this episode Matt is joined by Dr Eleanor Parker, author of the fascinating new book Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England, to find out more about the fates, fortunes and misfortunes of those last people born and raised in pre-conquest England.Eleanor's book is available on Amazon here.Don't forget to leave us a rating and review while you're here!For more Gone Medieval content, subscribe to our Medieval Monday newsletter here.If you'd like to learn even more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!

For episode 169 we are calling up a male order bride and talking about one of the best movies of the 50s, The Naked Jungle. How does it hold up? Penny and Darren explore the themes and interesting choices by the cast and crew. And what a crew it is with Eleanor Parker and Charlton Heston starring, Byron Haskin directing, and the legendary Edith Head doing the costumes; including quite a number she does on Eleanor Parker (all white dresses). So join us for this discussion on a classic film!!
We’ve got actor, writer, director, producer Jillian Armenante on the show today, ay, now that’s amore. You Might Know Her From Judging Amy, Vice, North Country, Kittens in a Cage, Bad Teacher, Fresh Off the Boat, and Girl, Interrupted. We go in deep with Jillian about being the comic relief on a CBS courtroom drama (Judging Amy) and how that differs from being on a bonafide sitcom like Fresh Off the Boat. Jillian talked to us about her theatre roots in Seattle, the stage adaptation of The Cider House Rules that earned her a Drama Desk nom and a career in Hollywood, and what it’s like to come into the machine as an already out LGBTQ+ actor. We also got into the sisterhoods on the sets of both Girl, Interrupted (where she ran in a crowd with Clea DuVall and bff Angelina Jolie) and North Country (where she bonded with Michelle Monaghan, and Charlize Theron had them top off their whiskey shots with her breast milk). All that plus Jillian gives us some old Hollywood lesbian gossip and talks to us about acting in The Dark Knight without knowing her co-star’s lines. We are just giddy from this one. Enjoy!

Episode Description An episode in which Ashley begrudgingly makes her mother happy. How well did Ashley guess what this movie was about? ...well, she didn't know Julie Andrews was in it. Show Notes "The hills are aliiiiiiiiive..." (surprisingly, at the beginning of the movie). The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical of the same name, composed by Rodgers & Hammerstein. Based on the 1949 memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp. The film takes place in 1938, and is about a young woman training to be a nun in Salzburg, Austria, who is sent to the villa of a retired widowed naval officer to serve as governess to his seven children. While the children were initially rowdy, they grow to care for Maria, and she begins to care for them. After bringing love and music into the lives of the family, she marries the officer and, together with the children, finds a way to survive the loss of their homeland to the Nazis. The movie won a sh*t ton of awards, but it's not entirely accurate to what really happened. So, let's talk about it.

*Imprint Companion is the only podcast on the Australian Internet about "DVD Culture."* Hang onto your slipcases because Alexei Toliopoulos (Finding Drago, Total Reboot) and Blake Howard (One Heat Minute) team up to unbox, unpack and unveil upcoming releases from Australia's brand new boutique Blu-Ray label *Imprint Films.* This episode we're talking Imprint 9 - "The Carpetbaggers" (1964), Imprint 5 - "Night Falls on Manhattan" (1996) and previewing the October releases. *Blake Howard -* Twitter ( https://twitter.com/OneBlakeMinute ) & One Heat Minute Website ( https://oneheatminute.com/ ) *Alexei Toliopoulos -* Twitter ( https://twitter.com/ThisisAlexei ) & Total Reboot ( http://sanspantsradio.com/total-reboot ) *************************************** Imprint No 9 - THE CARPETBAGGERS (1964) *************************************** RELEASE DATE: August 26th, 2020 NUMBER OF DISCS: 1 RATING: M RUNTIME (IN MINUTES): 150 A WORLDWIDE FIRST ON BLU-RAY! Harold Robbins' best-seller about '30s Hollywood comes to the screen in a torrent of frank, controversial and (for the times) sensational scenes that helped break the Production Code. George Peppard is the ruthless tycoon who (with amazing parallels to Howard Hughes) builds a multi-million-dollar empire. Carroll Baker, who performs a razzle-dazzle striptease atop a glittery chandelier, is the Jean Harlow-type star. *Special Features and Technical Specs:* * 1080p presentation of the film on Blu-ray * *NEW* exclusive audio commentary by Kat Ellinger, author and editor-in-chief of Diabolique Magazine * English 5.1 DTS-HD & LPCM 2.0 * Optional English subtitles * Theatrical Trailer * Limited Edition slipcase on the first 1000 copies *********************************************** Imprint No 10 - NIGHT FALLS ON MANHATTAN (1996) *********************************************** RELEASE DATE: August 26th, 2020 NUMBER OF DISCS: 1 RATING: M RUNTIME (IN MINUTES): 109 A WORLDWIDE FIRST ON BLU-RAY! A newly elected District attorney finds himself in the middle of a police corruption investigation that may involve his father and his partner. *Special Features and Technical Specs:* * 1080p presentation of the film on Blu-ray * Audio commentary with Director Sidney Lumet * Audio commentary with actors Andy Garcia and Rob Leibman, and producers Josh Kramer and Thom Mount * English 5.1 DTS-HD & LPCM 2.0 * Optional English subtitles * Theatrical Trailer * Limited Edition slipcase on the first 1000 copies ********************************** IMPRINT BUNDLE PACK - OCTOBER 2020 ********************************** Includes all Imprint films from the 3rd range of releases with limited edition slipcase and exclusive special features. *Major Dundee (1965)* Sam Peckinpah's first big-budget film was also the first to be taken away and released in a shortened version. But now, 40 years later, most of the missing footage has been located and reinserted with the entire soundtrack remixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital, and a completely new score composed. The new scenes complete the electrifying depiction of an oppressive Union officer who leads a squad of Rebel prisoners, ex-slaves, and criminals into Mexico to hunt down a band of murdering Apaches which raises the question: who represents a greater threat? *Danger Diabolik (1968)* The suave, psychedelic-era thief called Diabolik (Law) can't get enough of life's good – or glittery – things. Not when there are currency shipments to steal from under the noses of snooty government officials and priceless jewels to lift from the boudoirs of the superrich. The elusive scoundrel finds plenty of ways to live up to his name in this tongue-in-cheek, live-action caper inspired by Europe's popular Diabolic comics. He clambers up walls, zaps a press conference with Exhilaration Gas, smacks a confession out of a crime lord while freefalling with him from an airplane, and pulls off the heist of a twenty-ton gold ingot. Danger Diabolik is a 60's psychedelic snapshot from horror maestro Mario Bava. *The Day of the Locust (1975)* One of the grimmest assessments of Hollywood life during the '30s, this 1975 drama is adapted from a novel by Nathanael West and tells the tale of a talentless beauty's desperate struggle to become a star. A deeply insightful work that is powerful in its presentation, staggering in its vision. Director John Schlesinger is masterful in creating a world of platinum blondes, cockfights, glamour and broken dreams. And throughout, he plays on the edge of sexual and physical danger which finally erupts in the shocking climax. Oscar nominations went to Burgess Meredith and cinematographer Conrad Hall. *Hard Eight (1997)* Before his commercial breakthrough with Boogie Nights (1997), writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson made this low-key drama. John (John C. Reilly), a half-bright loser stranded in Reno, is down to his last few bucks when Sydney (Phillip Baker Hall), taking pity on him, buys him breakfast and offers him a few tips on making money in the casinos. Two years later, John has become Sydney's partner. Still, his lack of common sense goes from problematic to dangerous when he falls in love with Clementine (Gwyneth Paltrow), a cocktail waitress who isn't above turning a few tricks when she needs to make money — and isn't any brighter than John. *The Winslow Boy (1999)* David Mamet's brilliant adaptation of THE WINSLOW BOY is a rich and complex telling of the British classic brought to life by a superior ensemble of talent. The story follows the lives of the Winslows, a banker's family living in turn-of-the-century London, as they fight to prove the innocence of their youngest son accused of theft. *The Bob Hope Collection (1939 – 1940)* The legendary Bob Hope is at his very best in these two hilarious comedy thrillers, The Cat and the Canary & the Ghost Breakers. An equal mix of both frights and fun, these two unforgettable classic films showcase one of the most popular entertainers of all time and have become blueprints for the horror-comedy genre! *Essential Film Noir Collection 1 (1947 – 1957)* This collection includes four acclaimed film noir classics including Framed (1947), Alias Nick Beal (1949), Detective Story (1951) and The Garment Jungle (1957). Join Hollywood's legendary tough guys and femme fatale film noir icons such as Glen Ford, William Bendix, Audrey Totter, Ray Milland & Eleanor Parker. This set also includes bonus material including feature audio commentaries from Hollywood's top film noir historians including Eddie Muller & Alan Rode. *Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1973)* Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a visionary cinematic achievement of stunning beauty. Based on Richard Bach's bestselling novel, this timeless tale will open your heart to wonder and dare you to dream. Jonathan shows an intense and extraordinary passion for flight, learning everything he possibly can about flying. But his lofty goal–and an unwillingness to conform – results in his expulsion from his flock. Undeterred, he continues to soar onward in his quest–one that heads him to envision another world–one of love, understanding, achievement, hope and individuality. This film features music by the legendary Neil Diamond. The October Bundle Pack contains pre-order titles and will be dispatched in the week leading up to its October 28h release date.

For all of their prominence in the popular imagination today, the historical record of the Viking presence in England is limited, with much of what we know about them dependent upon the literary accounts attached to it. In Dragon Lords: The History and Legends of Viking England (Bloomsbury Academic, 2019), Eleanor Parker deconstructs these accounts to ascertain what they reveal both about the Vikings and their legacy for medieval England. Focusing on the narratives of Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons, Siward, Guy of Warwick, and Havelok, she draws out similarities that deepen our understanding of who they were. By analyzing these stories, she shows how the interpretations of the Danes changed over time, as their evolution into a more hostile and alien presence gave them a more adversarial role in shaping England's national identity than was the case.

King Cnut the Great started life as a young Viking warrior, but quickly became one of the most successful kings in Anglo-Saxon history, reigning over a huge empire covering England, Denmark and Norway in the early 11th Century. For some, he was the perfect Christian king; for others, he was a ruthless warlord. Today in popular culture his name is associated with the tale of King Cnut and the waves - the legend of an arrogant king who believed he could stop the tide. Joining Bridget Kendall to disentangle the facts from legends about King Cnut are Else Roesdahl, professor emerita of Medieval Archaeology at the University of Århus, Denmark; Eleanor Parker, lecturer in Medieval English Literature at Brasenose College, Oxford University, UK; and historian Timothy Bolton, author of the biography Cnut the Great.

Bienvenidos a una nueva entrega de La Gran Evasión, esta noche visitamos una comisaría cualquiera en el Nueva York del 51, el maestro William Wyler disecciona la sociedad americana, los principios morales que rigen a los hombres y que, muchas veces, se convierten en su prisión. Una joya, intensa y descarnada, Brigada 21. No es un Thriller, ni un policíaco al uso, ni llega a ser un Noir, ni una obra teatral ortodoxa, es un compendio de todos. William Wyler fue un artesano en letras mayusculas, aquí despliega toda su sapiencia para llevar a la gran pantalla una aclamada obra teatral, escrita por Sidney Kingsley, Detective Story, adaptada magistralmente por Phillip Yordan y el hermano de Wyler, Robert. El resultado es una auténtica maravilla, con unos magníficos diálogos, y un elenco perfecto. El gigantesco Kirk Douglas, en plena forma, acompañado por Eleanor Parker, William Bendix, Lee Grant, Horace McMahon… Wyler utiliza la obra como un terrario, los espectadores observamos como se mueven los seres que pueblan ese microcosmos, las interpelaciones entre estas personas, dentro y fuera de la ley, dentro y fuera de la moral repasan temas transcendentales de la condición humana: La posible reinserción del delincuente, las connotaciones de la conducta criminal, la conciliación familiar, el perdón, la comprensión… Sin olvidar lo atrevido del planteamiento inicial, se habla del aborto, el sexo extra matrimonial, los métodos policiales, el sistema judicial, la moral y la ética que rigen nuestra conciencia….la sociedad americana, de los idílicos años 50, no queda muy bien parada, a pesar de ese final redentor. El personaje protagonista se convierte en un antihéroe, en una víctima de su propio fundamentalismo, de su cerrazón moral y existencial….un detective incapacitado para amar. El realismo con el que Wyler nos cuenta la historia es fabuloso, totalmente desmitificador, vemos una comisaría real, sucia, en desorden, los policías sudan sin parar, están cansados del trabajo de oficina, de la rutina, no hay glamour, ni épica, sólo personas, hombres y mujeres, regidos por un código moral… Jim McLeod ama a su esposa Mary, pero ese férreo código que rige su vida, en el que las cosas son blanca o negras, sin matices, ese maldito principio existencial, no le permite ser feliz junto a la mujer que ama, lo convierte en un maltratador psicológico, en todo lo que odia, en el mal que juró combatir…en su propio padre. Esta noche de finales de mayo, el calor es insoportable en el pequeño estudio de Radiopolis, subimos a la terraza para respirar; José Miguel Moreno, Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y Elio Cubiles. Aún abotargados por el disparo de cine que nos ha dado William Wyler y, sobretodo, agradecidos a César Bardés, por haber propuesto esta Brigada 21, que nos insta a comprender en vez de juzgar. Gervasio Navio Flores.

Eleanor Parker, Lecturer in Medieval English Literature, Brasenose College, Oxford, gives the fifth and final talk in the Tolkien: The Maker of Middle Earth lecture series. This lecture focuses on Tolkien and old norse. The language and literature of medieval Scandinavia and Iceland had a profound influence on Tolkien's imagination, and this talk will introduce the language through exploring some of the Old Norse sagas, poems and legends which particularly interested Tolkien in his scholarly and creative work. This series, convened by Dr Stuart Lee, presents five Oxford academics who examine the medieval languages that J.R.R. Tolkien studied and taught. Each lecture will present a short introduction to a language and its literature. The lectures will show how Tolkien's linguistic and philological scholarship inspired him to create names for characters and places in his literary works, and to invent the languages of Middle-earth.

You’ve reached Episode 68! Returning guests Liam (Spocklight) and Eleanor (Bygones) are back for Liam’s choice, Network. Network is the 1976 Sidney Lumet film starring Faye Dunaway, William Holder and Peter Finch, winning four Oscars and influencing much of modern film and tv (Aaron Sorkin and Black Mirror for example). Network is a black comedy and satire, although set in television it can be applied largely to all media. Watching with 2018 it is probably as absurd as it was to 1976 viewers, in that what was outrageous and far fetched then and the reality now. It practically invented reality tv. In Network the news becomes a programmed reality show to boost ratings, sound familiar??!! Scores [supsystic-tables id=70] Network was generally well received by Flixwatcher and guests, points it dropped on repeat viewing it picks up on small screen score, overall it scores 3.95, just below the highly recommended but still worth a watch if you’re curious.

It’s Episode 57! Liam from Spocklight and Eleanor from Bygones join Kobi and Helen to review The Magdalene Sisters, Eleanor’s choice. The Magdalene Sisters is a 2002 film from Peter Mullan that follows the experiences of three young girls sent to the Magdalene ‘laundry’ in 1960s Ireland for their sexual promiscuity. A period in Irish history the Catholic Church would probably not want to celebrate, the laundries became slave houses and the women there suffered horrendous crimes against them. Based on true stories you can probably get the idea that this won’t be a fun film - but it is an incredibly important film and the stories deserve a voice. Knowing this you’ll go in much better prepared than Kobi! Scores [supsystic-tables id='59'] Scoring strongly on recommendability and unsurprisingly low on repeat viewing The Magdalene Sisters scores a 4 overall. A powerful piece of historical cinema that deserves a bigger audience. What do you guys think? Have you seen The Magdalene Sisters? What did you think? Please let us know in the comments below!

Screen Director's Playhouse - From 01/09/49 to 09/28/51 this series was greatly enjoyed by the radio listening audience. It opened as NBC Theater and was also known as The Screen Directorâs Guild and The Screen Directorâs Assignment. But most people remember it simply as Screen Directorâs Playhouse. Many of the Hollywood elite were heard recreating their screen roles over the radio. John Wayne in his rare radio appearances, Cary Grant, Edward G. Robinson, Lucille Ball, Claire Trevor, Tallulah Bankhead and many others were on the air week after week during these broadcasts. Many of Hollywoodâs directors were also heard in the recreation of their movies. The President of the Screen Directorâs Guild appeared on 02/13/49, and Violinist Isaac Stern supplied the music for the 04/19/51 broadcast. THIS EPISODE:Caged aired August 2, 1951 starring Eleanor Parker as Marie Allen and Hope Emerson as Evelyn Harper. Caged tells the story of a teenage newlywed, who is sent to prison for being an accessory to a robbery. Her experiences while incarcerated, along with the killing of her husband, change her from a very frightened young girl into a hardened convict. This is one of the finest productions ever done for radio from Screen Director's Playhouse. The Academny Award performances by Parker and Emerson are nothing less than spectacular.
Detective Story aired on the Lux Radio Show on April 26, 1954. Starring Kirk Douglas as detective Jim McLeod, Eleanor Parker as his wife Mary and William Conrad as Lt. Monaghan, Detective Story is based on a Beroadway play and is noted as one of Douglas's best performances. The show incorporates a mixture of police procedure, comedy, drama, and outright tragedy and was nominated for 4 Oscars.
