Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de Cómicas y de cine clásico. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: "Cómicas" en el Teatro de la Zarzuela Mujeres de teatro en la España del siglo XVIII. Nos vamos al Teatro de la Zarzuela donde, sólo este fin de semana, está en cartel una propuesta muy especial: "Cómicas". Ayer 8, hoy, sábado y domingo, 9, 10 y 11 de mayo. Se trata de una nueva producción propia del templo del género chico por excelencia (ubicado en la c/ Jovellanos, 4). Esta propuesta teatral y musical, a modo de tonadilla escénica, recupera el legado de mujeres españolas que tuvieron un papel ciertamente destacado y reconocido durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en los escenarios de nuestro país. La obra está protagonizada por las voces de las solistas Jone Martínez, María Hinojosa y Pilar Alva y por la narración de la actriz Cristina Medina, acompañadas por el conjunto Forma Antiqva, aclamada agrupación de música antigua que engloba oboes, trompas, violines, violonchelos, contrabajo, guitarra barroca, tiorba y clave. Entrevistamos al clavecista Aarón Zapico, que es quien tuvo la idea original de esta propuesta y quien se ocupa de la dirección musical. La dirección escénica corre a cargo de Pepa Gamboa y la dramaturgia es de Antonio Álamo. "Cómicas" - Mujeres de teatro en la España del siglo XVIII- Teatro de la Zarzuela (c/ Jovellanos, 4) - Nueva producción del Teatro de la Zarzuela. 8, 9 y 10 de mayo a las 19:30 y el 11 de mayo a las 18:00 Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre La soga. Thriller psicológico criminalístico de 1948 dirigido por Alfred Hitchcock basado en la obra teatral homónima de 1929 de Patrick Hamilton. La historia fue adaptada para la película por Hume Cronyn y el guion fue escrito por Arthur Laurents. Está protagonizada por James Stewart, John Dall y Farley Granger. La trama se centra en los estudiantes Brandon (Dall) y Philip (Granger), quienes, alentados por las ideas de su profesor de filosofía (Stewart), asesinan a un antiguo compañero y celebran una fiesta con el cadáver aún oculto en su apartamento. Todo con el único propósito de probar que son intelectualmente superiores y capaces de cometer el "crimen perfecto". Tanto la película como la obra de teatro original guardan importantes similitudes con el mediático caso real del asesinato de Bobby Franks a manos de los estudiantes Nathan Leopold y Richard Loeb, cometido en Chicago en 1924.

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. Join us as we discuss Film Noir! SHOW NOTES: Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** With her crystal clear soprano voice, porcelain doll face, and fierce acting talent, ANN BLYTH became a much in-demand star in the 1940s and 1950s. While known mostly as a romantic musical comedy star in film such as “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid” (1948), “Rose Marie” (1954), and “Kismet” (1955), she was also a deft dramatic actress when given the chance. Who can forget her as Veda, he daughter who made JOAN CRAWFORD's life a living hell, in “Mildred Pierce” (1945), or as the down-trodden alcoholic singer in “The Helen Morgan Story” (1957)?

Rope from 1948 is a little known Alfred Hitchcock film that deals with one of Hitchcock's favorite subjects....MURDER!!! Specifically, murder that is intellectually argued as a "good" for society. Rope stars John Dall and Farley Granger as Brandon and Phillip, two well-to-do New Yorkers who have just murdered their friend, David. What follows is a tension-filled dinner party of paranoia that leaves the audience to wonder just how long before David's body is discovered by the party-goers.

EPISODE 30 - “Robert Walker: Old Hollywood's Tragic Boy Next Door” - 04/08/2024 No one played sensitive, lost souls quite like ROBERT WALKER. However, he is best known for playing one of the most complicated, psychopaths in film history, Bruno Antony in ALFRED HITCHCOCK's masterpiece “Strangers On A Train” (1951). His journey from playing sensitive innocents to playing Bruno is reflective of his troubled, turbulent life, and the heartbreak from which he never recovered. This week, we'll discuss the artistry and the tragedy of this incredible actor.

Paul and Erin review two films about identical plans to commit the perfect murder: Alfred Hitchcock's 1951 suspense classic STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, and Danny de Vito's 1987 directorial debut THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN.
THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR is this month's theme and that means classic noir 5 days a week. Bob loves this shit so we're all gonna overdose on it. No drug use under the Hays Code, though. We got ourselves a lovely little “noirmance” from “Rebel Without a Cause” director Nicholas Ray. This is actually Ray's debut film and it's a very worthy noir gem that most folks may not have heard about. We're talking about “THEY LIVE BY NIGHT” from 1948. It stars Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell in an incredibly sincere and believable romance that is cornered by the dark realities of the kind of world that all of our characters this month are forced to live in. A beautifully shot love story that connects until it inevitably rips you apart. This world is too hard on true love.

Welcome to this week's episode of “Friday Night Noir” on Vintage Classic Radio, where we dive into the thrilling world of Patrick Hamilton's gripping play, "Rope." Originally written in 1929, Hamilton's play is a masterpiece of suspense and psychological drama, capturing the essence of the noir genre with its dark themes and intricate characters. Patrick Hamilton, born in 1904 in England, was a renowned playwright and novelist, widely celebrated for his ability to portray the stark realities of urban life and the complexities of the human psyche. His works often delved into the grim aspects of existence, making him a prominent figure in the literary world of the early 20th century. Hamilton's life, marred by personal tragedies and struggles with alcoholism, significantly influenced his writing style, imbuing it with a sense of realism and depth that resonated with his audience. "Rope," one of Hamilton's most famous plays, is set in a single room and unfolds in real-time, a testament to his innovative narrative techniques. The story revolves around two young men, Brandon and Granillo, who, in a macabre quest for thrill and a demonstration of their perceived intellectual superiority, commit a heinous crime. They strangle a fellow student, hide his body in a chest, and then host a dinner party with the chest as the centerpiece, inviting the victim's friends and family. This act sets off a tense and gripping narrative, exploring themes of morality, guilt, and the psychology of crime. The play is a chilling exploration of the consequences of unchecked arrogance and the dangerous allure of intellectual vanity. It questions the boundaries of morality and the ease with which one can be swayed by charismatic but flawed logic. Hamilton's writing is sharp, with dialogues that cut to the core of the human condition, making "Rope" a compelling and thought-provoking piece. While the play was later adapted into a film by the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock, starring Jimmy Stewart and Farley Granger, the essence and impact of Hamilton's original play remain undiluted. Hitchcock's adaptation brought its own flavor to the story, but it's Hamilton's original play that we celebrate today, appreciating its contribution to the noir genre and acknowledging its lasting impact on both theater and film. Join us as we delve into the dark, enthralling world of "Rope," uncovering the layers of this classic noir masterpiece and paying homage to the brilliant mind of Patrick Hamilton. Stay tuned for an episode filled with suspense, psychological intrigue, and a deep dive into one of the most captivating plays of the 20th century.
“Criss cross.”In 1951, Alfred Hitchcock was at a low point in his career after the disappointing critical reception of his previous two films, Under Capricorn and Stage Fright. Desperate for a hit, he wanted to adapt the 1950 Patricia Highsmith novel Strangers on a Train about a chance encounter that leads to a murder pact between two very different men. He bought the rights and enlisted screenwriter Raymond Chandler to adapt the book for the screen. Though Chandler delivered a script, Hitchcock ultimately rejected it in favor of a rewrite by Czenzi Ormonde and an uncredited Barbara Keon. With his leads locked in – Farley Granger as tennis pro Guy Haines and Robert Walker as the villainous Bruno Antony – Hitchcock began production on what would become another tension-filled thriller. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 1952 Academy Awards Best Cinematography • Black-and-White Nominees series with a conversation about Strangers on a Train.Here's a hint at what we talk about:In this episode, we dive deep into the fantastic performances by Robert Walker as the creepy and charismatic Bruno and Farley Granger as the morally conflicted Guy. We also discuss the homoerotic undertones in the film and how Hitchcock used them to toy with ideas about sexuality and identity. Though we find a few plot holes, overall we both agree this is one of our favorite Hitchcock films thanks to its psychological tension, unique visual style, and fun fairground climax.One of the standout elements of Strangers on a Train is the striking black-and-white cinematography by Robert Burks. In his first collaboration with Hitchcock, Burks brought an experimental flair that heightens the psychological tension. The use of shadows, unique camera angles, stylized lighting, and innovative techniques like the curved lens shot of Miriam's murder create an atmosphere of dread and danger. Burks' innovative work garnered him an Oscar nomination and built the foundation for a longtime partnership with Hitchcock.Strangers on a Train is a taut, psychologically complex thriller brought to life by Hitchcock's masterful direction.

Pietro Secchia era senza dubbio il numero 2 del Partito Comunista Italiano. Il posto di potere se lo era guadagnato in oltre vent'anni di clandestinità, di lavoro nelle riunioni carbonare nelle cantine, nelle case di campagna, facendo politica braccato dalla polizia politica. Era una delle anime del partito: quella rivoluzionaria. Lui sognava la lotta armata e ha lavorato affinché la prospettiva di una rivoluzione vincente nelle piazze fosse la prospettiva di tutto il partito.

In this episode I'll be delving into film criticism with an analysis of the 1948 film Rope, produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring John Dall, Farley Granger, and James Stewart. Rope has fascinated me since I first saw it earlier this year; it's now one of my favorite films and, in my opinion, and although it enjoys considerably less fame than staples like Psycho and Vertigo, Hitchcock's best. Its central theme, as I'll be arguing here, is the relation between the life-world of human symbolic reality and the Real itself, and as such makes an excellent example for exploring some of the themes of metaphysical idealism from my recent episodes. At the same time, I thought it would make an excellent warmup for a larger film criticism project I'd like to attempt, a look at the religious themes in the films of Martin Scorsese. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asatanistreadsthebible/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asatanistreadsthebible/support
WoHos!Well, as Quinn journeys back to her homeland for a few weeks, we thought it might be fun to talk about another Hitchcock film. This one just happens to be my fave.

Look. You're Welcome.The Christina & Quinn chat is long again. Jump to minute 11:55 if you want to get right into the film.The weather, freaky deaths/accidents, Quinn's dad's brain tumor (that he had when she was young), Quinn's childhood pet dog, Jake, how dogs see us, how Christina has the best cat (sorry Y'all cat owners that I got the best one). But also, not sorry. You get it.We discuss Robert Walker's performance and life cut short by alcoholism, what big fans we both are of Patricia Hitchcock, the humor in the film, how much Bruno is not okay, whether or not Bruno set the whole thing up, homoerotic subtext, shadows, and popping some kid's balloon with a cigarette. Seriously, how great would that be?Next up on the Quinnisode: GASLIGHT from 1944.Next up on the main show: Slashers with YOU'RE NEXT & TENEBRAE.Next up on the World of Foundational Horror™: EVIL DEAD TRAPWe also have some special shows coming up on David Cronenberg's VIDEODROME, shows on possession with THE EXORCIST & THE WAILING, a Ti West Special with THE INNKEEPERS & HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, Tech horror with TETSUO & eXistenZ and horror about writers with BURNING & IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS.We're so excited to bring these shows to you.

"There's too much air in your glass." Rope (1948) directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring James Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger. Next Time: The Killing (1956)
Join Aaron and T.J. this week as they discuss Alfred Hitchcock's Rope, a tautly constructed drama about two men who murder their classmate, thinking that they've pulled off the perfect killing. They discuss the erotics of suffering and the star text of Farley Granger, the film's aesthetics and, of course, the most pressing question of all: just what makes these two characters gay, anyway? Plus, they talk about the ethics of staying on Twitter in the aftermath of Elon Musk's takeover. Give it a listen!
Book Vs. Movie: Strangers on a TrainThe 1950 Novel Vs. the 1951 Classic FilmThe Margos return to Alfred Hitchcock with his classic thriller Strangers on a Train, based on Patricia Highsmith's debut novel. The story of two men meeting up and deciding to commit double murder in just a few hours may strain credulity--but it is a fun story ride!In the novel, budding architect Guy Haines meets wealthy gadabout Charles Anthony Bruno (called Bruno throughout the book) on a train ride to Texas. Guy wants to divorce his cheating (and pregnant) wife, Miriam, to marry his true love, Anne Faulkner. Bruno has a father who wants him to grow up and be more responsible, while he would rather travel, drink, and spend his family's money. Bruno proposes they kill the person in their lives holding back their happiness. Guy agrees to escape the conversation and is shocked when Bruno strangles Miriam to death. Bruno now wants a favor in return. Highsmith was a master of thrills and suspense with several books, including “The Talented Mr. Ripley” series. Her private life consisted of several relationships with both men and women, including a married psychologist who helped her with theories about sociopaths and psychopaths. She was surprised to find her book sold to Alfred Hitchcock for $7500 and angry her agent did not ask for more. (Hitch was known for his secrecy.) The movie adaptation changed her setting from the South and Southwest to NYC and Washington, DC, and included a gay subtext about the relationship between the lead characters.

Book Vs. Movie: Strangers on a TrainThe 1950 Novel Vs. the 1951 Classic FilmThe Margos return to Alfred Hitchcock with his classic thriller Strangers on a Train, based on Patricia Highsmith's debut novel. The story of two men meeting up and deciding to commit double murder in just a few hours may strain credulity--but it is a fun story ride!In the novel, budding architect Guy Haines meets wealthy gadabout Charles Anthony Bruno (called Bruno throughout the book) on a train ride to Texas. Guy wants to divorce his cheating (and pregnant) wife, Miriam, to marry his true love, Anne Faulkner. Bruno has a father who wants him to grow up and be more responsible, while he would rather travel, drink, and spend his family's money. Bruno proposes they kill the person in their lives holding back their happiness. Guy agrees to escape the conversation and is shocked when Bruno strangles Miriam to death. Bruno now wants a favor in return. Highsmith was a master of thrills and suspense with several books, including “The Talented Mr. Ripley” series. Her private life consisted of several relationships with both men and women, including a married psychologist who helped her with theories about sociopaths and psychopaths. She was surprised to find her book sold to Alfred Hitchcock for $7500 and angry her agent did not ask for more. (Hitch was known for his secrecy.) The movie adaptation changed her setting from the South and Southwest to NYC and Washington, DC, and included a gay subtext about the relationship between the lead characters. In an adapted script by Raymond Chandler and Czenzi Ormonde, Guy becomes a tennis pro who ultimately cannot go through with the killing of Bruno's father. (Spoilers in this episode!)

Tratto dall'omonima pièce teatrale del 1929 di Patrick Hamilton, "Nodo alla gola" di Alfred Hitchcock uscito al cinema nel 1948 racconta la storia di due giovani omosessuali, Brandon e Philip (John Dall e Farley Granger) conviventi nel loro appartamento newyorchese. Una sera, per il solo piacere del gesto, i nostri due protagonisti strangolano un compagno di collegio. Presi da un momento di lucida follia, decidono di nascondere il cadavere in una cassapanca a pochi minuti dall'inizio di un party in cui sono invitati proprio i genitori del morto e la ex-fidanzata. Tra gli invitati c'è Rupert Cadell (James Stewart) un loro ex-professore per meritare, almeno così credono, la sua ammirazione per l'audacia e l'arguzia del loro diabolico gesto, i due tradiranno il loro segreto in un continuo gioco di doppi sensi e battute. Un film girato come un piano sequenza diviso in 10 quadri attraverso l'utilizzo di 10 rulli di pellicola che duravano 10 minuti, è una sperimentazione incredibile che racconta una storia ancora moderna, che per certi versi affronta il concetto di banalità del male. Ne parliamo insieme a Massimiliano Bolcioni.
For the first film of Raph's "Keep Rolling" theme, we take a look at Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 film, Rope. Based on the Patrick Hamilton play, the film tells the story of two men who murder for philosophical reasons, then host a party in the apartment where the body is hidden. Starring John Dall, James Stewart, Farley Granger and Constance Collier, this psychological thriller is littered with great performances. On this one, we discuss how Rope stands out as a daring work that pushes the boundaries of cinema, its notable use of long takes & hidden cuts (lol "hidden") creating the continuous shot, as well as its exploration of taboo subjects such as homosexuality and murder. We also delve into the themes of the film, including the Nietzschean concept of the "superman or ubermensch" and the idea of intellectual arrogance leading to moral corruption. Additionally, we analyze the performances of the cast, including James Stewart's portrayal of a former teacher who suspects that his students may be responsible for the murder. Join us as we explore themes of morality, guilt, and obsession in this classic Hitchcock masterpiece.Temps Rising @ Behind This Wall on 30/04/23Donation Link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tjx3peaks***JABRIEL ALSUHAIMI is a multi-disciplinary creative, working on a multitude of projects in the audiovisual sphere.

Q-Balls!Quinn and I looked at Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 experimental film, ROPE, which was intended to seem like one unbroken take. It was, in fact, composed of 10 shots because...1948. Jimmy Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger star in this film that is loosely based on the murder committed by Leopold and Loeb. It is filled with a lovely supporting cast and some top-notch mid-Atlantic accents.Quinn and I talk teaching, looking forward to summer break, our relationship to dead bodies, funerals, and memorial services, and our two very different responses to this film.Thanks for tuning in. We appreciate it so very much!On the main show, Mac and I will be discussing "Animals Run Amok" films when we look at Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS from the US and BLACK SHEEP from New Zealand.Please remember to tell all your friends all about us.

Welcome. You're listening to Reel Charlie Speaks, an LGBTQ podcast spin-off of the film and television review blog, Reel Charlie looking at movies and TV from a gay male perspective since 2009. I'm your host, Philip Bahr. Each month I select a classic queer film, television series, or creator. I talk about how the subject spoke to me when I first discovered it years ago, and how its stood the test of time. In episode 10 I explore two classic films from the master, Alfred Hitchcock. First up, Rope (1948), followed by Strangers on a Train (1951). Both films boast lesbian and gay writers, both star bisexual actor Farley Granger, and both feature queer male relationships during a time when Hollywood was contained by the Hays Code. Currently the films are available to stream on various platforms for a rental fee and on disk from your local library. Perfect reason to hold on to your disk player. Corrections: Not sure why I kept wanting to say Bruner instead of Bruno. I lived in New York City during the 1990's, not the 2000's. I Confess is the name of the Hitchcock film where Montgomery Clift plays a priest. http://www.alfredhitchcock.com/life-and-legacy/filmography/ https://www.britannica.com/biography/Alfred-Hitchcock https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/87065%7C10493/Alfred-Hitchcock/#filmography https://ew.com/movies/every-alfred-hitchcock-movie-ranked/ Reel Charlie's review of Rope: https://reelcharlie.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/rope-the-masterpiece-collection/ Reel Charlie's review of Strangers on a Train: https://reelcharlie.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/strangers-on-a-train-blu-ray/ Reel Charlie's all things Hitchcock: https://reelcharlie.wordpress.com/category/directors-alfred-hitchcock/ https://reelcharlie.wordpress.com/2022/08/29/reel-charlie-speaks-podcast/ Music by Daddy_s_Music from Pixabay --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reel-charlie-speaks/message

Dana and Tom discuss another Alfred Hitchcock classic in Rope (1948): directed by Alfred Hitchcock, adaptation by Hume Cronyn, screenplay by Arthur Laurents, starring James Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger. Plot Summary: Philip Morgan (Farley Granger) and Brandon Shaw (John Dall) strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope to experience the supremacy of murder. Planning to capitalize on this experience, the two plan a dinner party upon the very chest where they have laid their victim. To make matters worse, the pair welcome their invited guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée (Joan Chandler), the victim's parents, and the college professor (James Stewart) whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing. Will the two succeed and prove their superiority, or will they fail and prove the folly of their efforts?

You probably know the trope of the "gay psycho killer" that's been around for decades (every boy just loves his mother, right?), but not all gay psycho killers are portrayed with quite the same insidious intent! In this week's episode of Cinema Very Gay, Jake and Kevin discuss two films inspired by the true crime story of the Leopold and Loeb murder of 1924, Alfred Hitchcock's Rope from 1948 and Swoon, directed by Tom Kalin in 1992. Hitchcock's Rope is not frequently remembered as one of his finest movies, but the queer coding of his two main characters, played by John Dall and Farley Granger, is hardly subtle. This movie follows two friends in real time as they host a dinner party for friends and family of the man they just murdered, while his body is hidden in the same room. It is only loosely based on how Leopold and Loeb were characterized in their trial (spoiler, they didn't get away with it and their trial was a media racket) and still manages to grip the audience and rope us along while their "perfect" crime unravels before them. More directly inspired by the real-life Leopold and Loeb, Swoon is a fictional retelling of their romance and friendship leading up to the murder, and then the subsequent investigation and trial of the two. The movie stars Daniel Schlachet as Richard Loeb and Craig Chester as Nathan Leopold and definitely does not shy away from showing the queerness of the two killers. What do these movies say about the sexual repartee of tops and bottoms? Why is the gay psycho killer such a captivating trope? Is Rope actually a movie about edging? Swing by Cinema Very Gay wherever you get your podcasts and listen in to our new episode! We have also come to the long-awaited conclusion of our mini-series on the Eating Out series with the final installment, Eating Out: The Open Weekend. Somehow this movie was released in the same year as the 4th film, but sends the viewers on another roller coaster of quality. We aren't sure why Tiffany is even less present than the last film, or why Q. Allan Brocka leaned into an extremely tired transgender storyline, but at least we can reflect fondly on all the wonderful one-liners from throughout the series! BONUS: listen to our rock-solid pitch for the plot of the 6th Eating Out film.
Grab your watch and hit the road, the lads on the lamb and talking about noir staple Nicholas Ray's directorial debut They Live by Night!

They consider themselves intellectually superior to their friend David Kentley, and as a consequence, decide to murder him. Together they strangle David with a rope and placing the body in an old chest, they proceed to hold a small party. The guests include David's father, his fiancée Janet, and their old schoolteacher Rupert, from whom they mistakenly took their ideas.

This week, we continue our dive into the films of Alfred Hitchcock! Our second film in the series was a first-watch for all of us: Rope. The movie features incredible performances by Jimmy Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger. It was written by the phenomenal Arthur Laurents, most famous for writing the script to West Side Story and based on a 1929 play by Patrick Hamilton. The film features Brandon and Philip, a couple attempting to get away with murder. Stewart plays their prep school mentor who unwittingly inspired the two with his sensationalist theories on elitism and survival of the superior. In our discussion, we touch on classism, LGBTQ representation in film, the artistry of cinematography, and acquired tastes. Join us!

This time around, it's Hitchcock and good old fashioned soap opera with nudity. Firstly, Alfred Hitchcock's 1948 stunt of a movie, Rope starring James Stewart, John Dall and Farley Granger, then we move on to 1974 for Number 96 - an Australian comedy based on a taboo-breaking television soap opera starring Elaine Lee and Johnny Lockwood.

País Estados Unidos Dirección Alfred Hitchcock Guion Raymond Chandler, Czenzi Ormonde (Novela: Patricia Highsmith) Música Dimitri Tiomkin Fotografía Robert Burks (B&W) Reparto Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker, Leo G. Carroll, Patricia Hitchcock, Howard St. John, Laura Elliott, Marion Lorne Sinopsis Inspirada en la novela homónima de Patricia Higsmith. Durante un viaje en tren, Guy, un joven campeón de tenis (Farley Granger), es abordado por Bruno (Walker), un joven que conoce su vida y milagros a través de la prensa y que, inesperadamente, le propone un doble asesinato, pero intercambiando las víctimas con el fin de garantizarse recíprocamente la impunidad. Así podrían resolver sus respectivos problemas: él suprimiría a la mujer de Guy (que no quiere concederle el divorcio) y, a cambio, Guy debería asesinar al padre de Bruno para que éste pudiera heredar una gran fortuna y vivir a su aire.
In der letzten Sendung vor dem grossen Jubilaeum gehen wir noch einmal ein paar Jahrzehnte zurueck und beleuchten einen von Terence Hill und Bud Spencer groessten Film Hits. Die Rede ist natuerlich von Die rechte und die linke Hand des Teufels. In diesem Streifen teilt das Schlagkraeftige Duo wieder einmal im wilden Westen aus und helfen einer Gruppe von frommen Einsiedlern gegen einen korrupten Major und dessen Spiessgesellen. Darueber hinaus gibt es noch eine weitere Episode von Kino Aktuell, wo wir zwei aktuelle Filme ansprechen und zwei neue Trailer durchgehen. Ferner geben wir ein paar Ausblicke auf die Ausgabe 100.
We're taking a long hard look at Hitchcock's queer classic 'Rope' where Farley Granger and John Dall thumb their handsome noses at the Hayes code and play a queer couple who murder for kicks. OK so they couldn't kiss, touch or tap dance to Judy Garland, but almost every scene in this play-on-film crackles with queer sexual tension between the two... and that's before their mentor Jimmy Stewart shows up... But where did the inspiration come for these twisted queens? Enter Leopold and Loeb - socialite bright young things who in 1924 killed a young boy for kicks and thought they were above the law. They weren't. But their twisted romance and horrific crime meant the pair went down in history. Not only did they inspire a play by Patrick Hamilton and the movie by Hitch but they inspired Swoon, a 90s avant garde queer art film. We look at both, we celebrate the genius of Hitch (again) but we also have a right old laugh about butt plugs, flip-flopping tops and bottoms, and reveal which queer heart throb COULD have played opposite Farley Granger... if he hadn't been so painfully closeted. Spoilers, bad puns and frankly disgusting humour ahoy!
Alfred Hitchcock had fallen upon hard times, successfully speaking, so he put every effort into making sure that THIS FILM was a hit. We think he succeeded and gave Robert Walker, so often cast as "the nice guy" arguably the best role of his career as the lovable sociopath Bruno Anthony. As an added attraction, watch oddly attractive Farley Granger get out-acted by a cigarette lighter!

Three men. One room. Now the fun begins. (Feel free to interpret that any way you wish.) Hitchcock Month continues, as A/V writer-director Joseph Lewis drops by to discuss 1948's Rope, wherein John Dall and Farley Granger's perfect murder is in danger of being unraveled by Jimmy Stewart; and 1954's Rear Window, in which Stewart's busted-up photographer spies on his neighbors, including a potentially murderous Raymond Burr. Paul, AJ, and Joe discuss the one-take gimmickry of Rope and how it translates the stage to screen; the homosexual subtext (or text) of that film; what Hitchcock had to say about voyeurs; and Hitch's subversive casting of the all-American Jimmy Stewart. Next: Hitchcock Month continues, as Wanna Cook? co-author Ensley F. Guffey discusses 1944's Lifeboat and 1954's Dial M for Murder.
In years past, Paul and AJ have devoted month-long chunks of the show to Quentin Tarantino, modern film's remix master; and Hayao Miyazaki, Japan's animation master. For 2016, the boys are devoting February to another cinematic maestro: Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense. The first pair of films under discussion are 1943's Shadow of a Doubt, wherein Joseph Cotten's killer misanthrope shares blood (and a telepathic link) with young Teresa Wright; and 1951's Strangers on a Train, in which Robert Walker commits a murder for Farley Granger and expects him to return the favor. Joining Paul and AJ for this double about doubles is Aja Romano, geek culture writer for The Daily Dot, who educates the boys on why these are her favorite Hitchcock films. The gang talks Hitchcock's perfect mise en scene, why and how trains are important to the Master's work, the films' incestuous and homoerotic (not to mention vampiric!) undertones, and much more. Next: Hitchcock Month continues as A/V writer-director Joseph Lewis confines the boys to one podcast for 1948's Rope and 1954's Rear Window.
For his first attempt at a Technicolor film and his first collaboration with James Stewart, Alfred Hitchcock chose to adapt the British stage play Rope's End as a series of 10 minute long takes. Loosely based on real life child murderers Leopold and Loeb, Farley Granger and John Dall murder a school chum in their apartment, hide his body in a chest of books and cooly host a party around him, aroused by the thrill of it possibly being discovered. Dan and Vicky's date with Hitchcock includes their opinions on the film, it's central long take gimmick, the homosexual themes and the performances of Granger, Dall and Stewart. They also catch us up with what they've been watching recently -- the new Christmas horror film Krampus for Dan and lots of stand up specials for Vicky. And Dan hints at a none to pleasant run in with legendary screenwriter/playwright Arthur Laurents. Add some communist witch hunts and a dude named Pee Wee Hunt and his orchestra to the mix and you've got a Hot Date not to be missed. The body's in the chest!! 1948's Rope is your Hot Date Episode 21.

Luchino Visconti was known for dabbling with neorealism, but Senso mixed his love of the opera and melodrama with the film movement that his name is attached to. Italy's first Technicolor film, Senso is a love story set during the Austrian occupation of Venice in the 1860's. The film is a visual feast, with sweeping setpieces that reflect Visconti's love of the opera. Alida Valli and Farley Granger (whose English was dubbed into Italian for the film's Italian release) give stellar performances as the leads, particularly Valli, who won a Golden Globe for her effort. This is another title currently readily available on Blu-Ray and DVD from the Criterion Collection; viewing the heavily-cut American version of the film from the disc's special features is to experience an exercise of how not to edit a film.

Underappreciated Hitchcock - Our Old Movie Club, featuring classic films many of us haven’t seen selected just for us by Philip Michaels, is back! In this edition, we look at two underappreciated films of Alfred Hitchcock: 1943’s “Shadow of a Doubt” and 1948’s “Rope.” The former features Joseph Cotten shooting up through the ceiling of creepy, a battle of telepathy versus telegraphy, the special bond of people named Charlie, murder by soda, and an appearance by the Exposition Radio Network. The latter offers long unbroken scenes, drunk Farley Granger, a perfect murder perpetrated by Batman villains, and Jimmy Stewart as Columbo. Both films have Hitchcock in common, as well as Hume Cronyn… and murder! Host Jason Snell with Philip Michaels, Steve Lutz, Monty Ashley, Dan Moren, David J. Loehr and Andy Ihnatko.

THEY LIVE BY NIGHT is film noir at its best. Edward Anderson's little-known hard-boiled rural bandit novel is made into a screenplay as lean as the post-war dreams of its players. The shifty camera frames every sucker that comes its way, making them false promises then plunging each into a darkness more than night. Rookie director Nicholas Ray mercilessly rolls rising stars Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell in the existential muck, but manages nonetheless to show us the ethereal gold that lines their hearts and dreams. Beyond the sublime writing, acting, and directing, what truly sets the film apart is its ruthless humanity, its unwavering determination to show the full spectrum of good and bad in everyone—the shades of gray that haunt the war-battered world of black and white. It is as poignant now as it was upon its release sixty years ago. This podcast is brought to you by Clute and Edwards, of www.noircast.net.
