EPISODE 56 - “MARJORIE REYNOLDS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 10/07/2024 Most film fanatics agree that after the Paramount Picture's holiday classic “Holiday Inn” (1942), actress MARJORIE REYNOLDS, who gave a star-turn as struggling actress Linda Mason who gets a break singing and dancing in the seasonal nightclub run by BING CROSBY, should have been a big star. However, for reasons not quite clear, she didn't rise into the stratosphere. While she had a very respectable and long career, she just didn't soar to the top, as expected. As our Star of the Month, we will take a look into Marjorie Reynolds' life and career and explore our theories on why “Holiday Inn” did not make her a major star.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Christmas In the Movies (2023), by Jeremy Arnold; Whatever Became of…10th Series (1986), by Richard Lamparski; My Heart Belongs (1976), by Mary Martin; Scarlet Fever (1977), by William Pratt (including the collection of Herb Bridges); The Film Lovers Companion (1997), by David Quinlan; Biography of Marjorie Reynolds, July 25, 1942, Paramount Pictures;  “Super Cinderella,” November 1942, by William Lynch value, Silver Screen magazine; “Marjorie's Horse Comes In,” November 7, 1942, by Kyle Crichton, Collier's Magazine; Versatility Pays Off for Marjorie Reynolds,” March 10, 1944, by Hedda Hopper, Los Angeles, Times; “Divorce Plans Discussed by Miss Reynolds,” July 23, 1951, by Hedda Hopper, Los Angeles, Times; “Marjorie Reynolds to Be Wed to Film Editor,” May 16, 1952, Los Angeles, Times; “Marjorie Reynolds Weds Film Editor,” May 18, 1953, The Sedalia Democrat (Missouri); “Marjorie Reynolds: Sixty Years in the Film Business,” April 1984, by Colin Briggs, Hollywood Studio Magazine; “Marjorie Reynolds, 79, Actress, In Classic Films and on Television,” February 16, 1997, The New York Times; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; IBDB.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Holiday Inn (1942), starring Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Marjorie Reynolds, & Virginia Dale; Wine, Women, and Song (1933), starring Lilyan Tashman; Murder In Greenwich Village (1937), starring Richard Arlen & Fay Wray; Tex Rides With The Boy Scouts (1937), starring Tex Ritter; The Overland Express (1938), starring Buck Jones; Western Trails (1938), starring Bob Baker; Six Shootin' Sheriff (1938), starring Ken Maynard; Star Spangled Rhythm (1942), starring Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour, Veronica Lake, & Alan Ladd; Dixie (1943), starring Bing Crosby & Dorothy Lamour; Up In Mabel's Room (1944), starring Dennis O'Keefe & Gail Patrick; Ministry of Fear (1944), starring Ray Milland; Three Is A Family (1944), starring Charles Ruggles & Fay Bainter; Bring On The Girls (1945), starring Veronica Lake & Eddie Bracken; Monsieur Beaucaire (1946), starring Bob Hope & Joan Caulfield; The Time Of Their Lives (1946), starring Bud Abbott & Lou Costello; Meet Me On Broadway (1946), starring Fred Brady & Spring Byington; Heaven Only Knows (1947), Bob Cummings & Brian Donlevy; Badmen of Tombstone (1949), starring Barry Sullivan & Broderick Crawford; That Midnight Kiss (1949), starring Mario Lanza & Kathryn Grayson; The Great Jewel Robber (1950), starring David Brian; Home Town Story (1951), starring Jeffry Lynn, Alan Hale Jr, & Marilyn Monroe; Models, Inc (1952), starring Howard Duff & Coleen Gray; His Kind of Woman (1951), starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell, & Vincent Price; The Silent Witness (1962), starring Tristram Coffin & George Kennedy; Pearl (1978), starring Angie Dickinson, Dennis Weaver, & Robert Wagner; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** When THERESA HARRIS appears on screen, you cannot take your eyes off of her. Beautiful, talented, and a skilled singer and dancer, she lights up any scene she's in. Despite appearing in over 100 films, she rarely received screen credit and most often played a maid, waitress, or other types of domestic servant. Her parts were small, but her charisma and presence on screen were enormous! As a black woman in the early days of Hollywood, she was limited in the roles she could perform by the restrictive Hayes Code of 1934 and the horrible Jim Crow laws of the South. Still, she is a welcome presence in so many classic films. This week, we look at the extraordinary life and career of the talented THERESA HARRIS.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Theresa Harris, Credited and Uncredited in Over 100 Films,” March 28, 2024, by Herb Boyd, New York Amsterdam News; “Just a Maid in Movies, But Not Forgotten,” April 21, 2011, by Manohla Dargis, The New York Times; “The Underrated Charms of Theresa Harris,” July 11, 2020, by Constance Cherise, TCM.com; “Theresa Harris: Television and Film Actress of the 1930s,” August 18, 2023, by Jae Jones, BackThen.com; “Actress Theresa Harris Hollywood Vixen Turned Servant,”September 2, 2011, by Veronica Wells, Madamenoire; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Thunderbolt (1929), starring Fay Wray and George Brent; Hold Your Man (1932), starring Jean Harlow and Clark Gable; Baby Face (1933), starring Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent; Professional Sweetheart (1933), starring Ginger Rogers, Norman Foster, and Zasu Pitts; Horse Feathers (1932), starring The Marx Brothers and Thelma Todd; Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933), starring Joan Blondell, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Ginger Rogers; Morning Glory (1933), starring Katharine Hepburn and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr; Flying Down to Rio (1933), starring Delores Del Rio, Gene Raymond, Ginger Rogers, and Fred Astaire; Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935), starring Jack Benny and Eleanor Powell; Banjo On My Knee (1936), starring Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea; Bargain With Bullets (aka The Gangster's On The Loose) (1937), starring Ralph Cooper and Theresa Harris; Jezebel (1938), starring Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and George Brent; Tell No Tales (1939), starring Melvyn Douglas and Louise Platt; Buck Benny Rides Again (1940), starring Jack Benny, Ellen Drew, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, and Theresa Harris; What's Buzzin' Cousin?

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Victoria Riskin, daughter of actress Fay Wray & screenwriter Robert Riskin. We first learned about Victoria in a Los Angeles Times interview with her about her book, Fay Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir & boy are we glad we reached out. Better yet, Victoria was an engaging guest full of great stories about her mother and father, her years growing up in Los Angeles, long lost LA haunts, her mother's fortitude over the years and her own career in Hollywood. While the kids love the buzz word, ‘iconic' these days, it's also the only real word to capture Fay Wray. She had a wonderfully full career in Hollywood which we discuss but it's her signature role as Ann Darrow in the 1933 film King Kong which fans remember as part of the golden age of Hollywood – and beyond. We also discuss her father, who wrote films for Frank Capra and we get a glimpse into their private life and courtship via our conversation about her memoir. There's also talk about Mary Tyler Moore, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Bernadette Peters and Bob Hoskins. And if you've never heard of C.C. Brown's Ice Cream Parlor, well you are missing out on more Hollywood lore you never knew existed. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.

C'est film clé de lʹhistoire du cinéma, sorti en 1933, avec des images fortes qui impriment notre rétine à jamais. Si je vous dis un immense singe sur lʹEmpire State Building, descendu par des avions, vous savez tout de suite de quoi nous parlons. Car cʹest aussi simple que cela : King Kong est une icône. Le singe le plus célèbre de lʹhistoire du cinéma, un animal fantastique, un gorille monstrueux, gigantesque, sauvage mais touchant. Une création due à la folie de deux réalisateurs complètement allumés et fans dʹaction : Ernest B. Schoedsack et Merian C. Cooper. Ce nʹest pas lʹadaptation dʹun livre dʹépoque, mais bel est bien une idée originale née de lʹimagination de ces deux hommes qui tournent des films entre deux autres projets, toujours par peur de sʹennuyer. Kong est leur immense bébé. Ce personnage de singe démesuré nʹest que le reflet de ses créateurs, un chef-dʹœuvre dʹinventivité, de créativité. Mais il y a un autre homme quʹil faut citer : Willis OʹBrien. Cʹest lui le décorateur et le maquettiste qui est derrière les effets spéciaux révolutionnaires qui donnent vie à King Kong, ce monstre dʹHollywood qui nous narre quelque chose de plus profond quʹune forêt exotique, une starlette kidnappée, et des gratte-ciel new-yorkais. Vous êtes prêtes ? Prêts ? Alors partons à lʹaventure, à la recherche du roi singe, de King Kong….le bateau pour Skull Island nous attend. Embarquement immédiat.

Ever since the shadow of Count Orlok crept up the staircase in 1922's Nosferatu, and Fay Wray emitted her iconic scream in 1933's King Kong, horror films have captivated and scandalised audiences in equal measure. Speaking to Matt Elton, Professor Roger Luckhurst explores how scary films have reflected changing social anxieties in the 20th and 21st centuries, and nominates the ten horror movies he thinks are most representative of their time.

Han har inspirerat till mode, blivit en metafor för manlig sexualitet, men också betraktats som en missförstådd kille. Inte minst har han blivit en superstjärna. Vi pratar förstås om King Kong. I veckans Stil ska vi ägna oss åt en stilbildande film med en stor och lurvig huvudrollsinnehavare som blev trendsättande, på många sätt – King Kong. Filmen hade premiär 1933 och fyller därmed 90 år, i år.Filmen blev en succé när den kom. Och det finns många tolkningar av vad gorillan Kong egentligen symboliserar. Är han en tragisk hjälte? En symbol för den stora depressionen som då grasserade i USA? Eller är han en metafor för rasism – eller för våldsam och otyglad manlig sexualitet? Kanske kan man läsa in lite av varje i Kong.Hur som helst var filmen något helt nytt när den kom, inte minst tekniskt och musikaliskt. Det berättar vi mer om i veckans program.Vi pratar också med Victoria Riskin, dotter till skådespelerskan Fay Wray, som spelade rollen som Ann Darrow i King Kong 1933. Vi tittar också närmare på, den något makabra, trenden med kläder av gorillapäls som växte sig stark på 1930-talet. Men var det verkligen gorillor som pälsarna var gjorda av? Det reder vi ut i programmet. Dessutom träffar vi Ing-Marie Persson som, likt kvinnor som Diane Fossey och Jane Goodall, vigt sitt liv åt primater.Veckans gäst är Johan Andreasson, tecknare och filmpoddare.

Cynthia Bemis Abrams welcomes Victoria Riskin, a second-generation filmmaker with a rich Hollywood legacy. Victoria's parents—Robert Riskin, a prolific, Oscar-winning screenwriter, and Fay Wray, best known for her role in the original King Kong—were instrumental in shaping the classic years of the motion picture industry. And Victoria has crafted an impressive career all her own. She is a producer, writer, digital magazine publisher, PhD in psychology, and past president of the Writers Guild of America (WGA). She shares her experiences as WGA president and explains how power has shifted over time to the imbalance that has writers and actors on strike now in 2023. We also learn how Victoria's father tried leveraging his success with the studios to improve conditions for writers in the 1930s, but ultimately joined the Screen Writers Guild (SWG) as an early, active member. And, on the lighter side, you won't want to miss Victoria's stories from her trip to China with Norman Lear, Mary Tyler Moore, Larry Gelbart, and Carl Reiner. Victoria knows Hollywood from deep inside. No doubt you'll enjoy the interesting history and fun stories she shares with us.  RESOURCES Victoria Riskin's website - https://www.victoriariskin.com/  Fay Wray and Robert Riskin: A Hollywood Memoir - https://www.victoriariskin.com/index.php/about Projections of America - http://projectionsofamerica.com/ The Last Best Year - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Best_Year Bluedot Living -  https://bluedotliving.com/ CONNECT WITH CYNTHIA and ADVANCED TV HERSTORY ATVH Newsletter - https://cynthiabemisabrams.com/ Website - https://cynthiabemisabrams.com/  Podcast Archive - https://cynthiabemisabrams.com/advanced-tv-herstory Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/advancedtvherstory/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/tvherstory Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Media.Cynthia YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@advancedtvherstory/featured PRODUCTION Podcast Editing - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariloumarosz/ Music by Jahzzar - https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/

This beloved monster movie from the filmmaking team of Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack employed then revolutionary stop-motion animation to bring not just the film's titular character to life, but a whole host of dinosaurs and other inhabitants of Skull Island. Featuring the original scream-queen, Fay Wray, as novice actress Ann Darrow, Robert Armstrong as desperate filmmaker Carl Denham and Bruce Cabot as daring sailor, Jack Driscoll, King Kong is arguably the most influential creature feature ever made and is discussed here along with the King Kong's legacy which has spawned a long-running series of films that's still going strong today.

Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, and scored by composer Max Steiner.  While re-releases are not common for the Warner Archive, the lack of availability for a film as important as “King Kong” made it a necessity to provide a new, affordable Blu-ray to the public.  And finally, we discuss the two films new to Blu-ray this month.  First up is "Abe Lincoln In Illinois," (1940) starring Raymond Massey, Gene Lockhart, Ruth Gordon, and directed by John Cromwell.  George provides background on the restoration and history of this presidential classic.  And we end our discussion with the award-winning release "Rachel, Rachel," (1968) starring Joanne Woodward and directed by her husband and first-time director, Paul Newman.Purchase on Amazon:King Kong (1933) Blu-rayAbe Lincoln In Illinios Blu-rayRachel, Rachel Blu-rayLucifer S6 Blu-rayYoung Sheldon S5 Blu-rayOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.  Contact us today to see how we can work together to achieve your goals.  www.otakumedia.tv

We first became of Victoria via her 2019 book, Fay Wray and Robert Riskin : A Hollywood Memoir and were intrigued not only about her actor mom and screenwriter father but in how she wrote it, which we discuss on this episode. We talk about her father's Oscar winning career writing for Frank Capra and others as well as her mom's six decade career in movies. From silent films, talkies, pre code, horror movies, comedies and later in AIP exploitation films and television, it's a distinguished career that involves much more than giant apes named King Kong. Victoria's mother's iconic name is kept alive today as its synonymous in current pop culture in comic strips, punk bands and the lyrics from the  Rocky Horror Picture Show. We also talk to Victoria about her own career as both a psychologist and later as a producer along with her Emmy-winning writer/husband David Rintels. Their  television work including The Last Best Year w/ Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters, World War II: When Lions Roared w/ John Lithgow, Bob Hoskins and Michael Caine as well as an adaptation of Willa Cather's My Antonia among others. Along the way we talk about the gone but not forgotten CC Brown's ice cream parlor in Hollywood, the first years of Palisades High School and if the term “scream queen” is still valid. It's all up next, on the Rarified Heir Podcast.

Hello, kaiju lovers! Godzilla Redux continues! Nate is joined by YouTuber/author/musician/Navy sailor Alyssa Charpentier (aka AlyssaGojiGeek) for a film from his previous podcast life: King Kong vs. Godzilla. While, yes, Nate discussed a pair of related unmade films with John LeMay, today he and Alyssa compare and contrast the original Japanese version and the re-edited U.S. cut. The latter softens the satirical tone of the original and adds pointless scenes with two boring white guys who use a children's dinosaur book to prove Godzilla is a dumb brute and Kong “is a thinking animal.” This leads to some talk about the subpar Criterion Collection box set—the only way to legally watch the Japanese cut in America—and how the Japanese economic miracle influenced the film. Even Alyssa never learned this stuff in school! Before the broadcast, Nate meets with Mr. Gold and his assistant, Ms. Kawaii. They try to sweet talk him with the gift of hot chocolate and promises of advancement. Nate feigns gratitude and endures accusations of brown-nosing from Jimmy. Afterward, Nate researches late into the night at the Sekizawa Library, where he tries—and fails—to accost the AWOL EDF Mutant Ozaki. Ozaki tells Nate about the shady operations he's been investigating the last few weeks. The prologue, “Secret Business, Part 1” was written by Michael Hamilton and Nathan Marchand. The epilogue, “Secret Business, Part 2,” was written by Nathan Marchand.

What happens when the Hunter becomes the hunted? Join us today for Richard Connell's classic short story "The Most Dangerous Game!"Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" and published in 1924 in The Saturday Evening Post and was adapted into a film of the same name in 1932, starring Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, and Leslie Banks. He began his writing career when he was 13 years old when he covered a local murder trial for his father's newspaper in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1906. By the age of 15, he was a seasoned crime and sports reporter. His father became a Congressman and Richard then attended Harvard and went on to serve a year in France during World War One where he edited a camp newspaper called “Gas Attack.” When he came back to America, he got married and moved to Hollywood where he worked on many projects, his most notable being “Meet John Doe” in 1941.    John Bell is our narrator and he is also the writer, producer, and actor on the award-winning "Bell's in the Batfry" podcast, which can be found at http://thebatfry.libsyn.com/We are always looking forward to discovering our next writer, so if you are interested in contributing, please send us your short story of fewer than 5,000 words to cathy@widowmakerindustries.com Looking for your next book? Check out this review of the 1st book in the C. Mack Lewis's Fallen Angels Series, Gunning for Angels:   Top reviews from the United StatesWilliam E. Wallace5.0 out of 5 stars C. Mack Lewis is on the Side of the Angels in Her Debut NovelPrivate eye Jack Fox has a problem. He just can't seem to keep his business end inside his pants, and winds up flopping into the sack with just about every female he meets.But his overactive libido isn't Jack's real challenge. The thing that is turning his life inside out is the fact that Enid, the daughter that resulted from one of those one-night stands sixteen years earlier, has run away from her alcoholic mother and taken the Greyhound to Phoenix looking for the father she only recently learned she had.For his part, Jack didn't even know Enid existed.This is the situation at the beginning of “Gunning for Angels,” a fast-moving detective yarn by Lewis, a New Jersey native transplanted to Scottsdale, Arizona, who deftly juggles plot twists, humor and mayhem in this enjoyable debut novel.The story involves unwanted children and a few that are wanted far too much for comfort.Lewis's character, Jack Fox, is a solo operator working out of a hole-in-the-wall office staffed only by his secretary receptionist.A Lothario from the get-go, Fox is described by Lewis as "not handsome enough for Hollywood but too handsome for his own good." Practically the only women in the story he doesn't get between his sheets are his daughter and the receptionist.This lust-struck peeper is between clients when Enid, the result of his blast in the past, walks into his office, coat-tailing on a woman who wants to hire him to identify her birth mom.Eventually the two enter into an uneasy alliance. Jack, who was rejected by his own birth father, a cop and bigamist, can't seem to work past his guilt at having a teenage daughter he's never met. Enid, who is used to cleaning up her drunken mother's messes, is distraught by her abandonment.Despite their mutual distrust and fear, they join forces and struggle to come to grips with what seems to be a simple parental abandonment case but turns out to involve trafficking in child prostitutes, pedophilia and fraud.Oh, yes: and murder; lots of murder.The basic plot of Lewis's book is pretty grim stuff, but she manages to serve it up with dashes of wit that leaven the violent and gruesome nature of the story. Just when you are beginning to think that Fox is a competent investigator and all-around cool guy, he hits a banana peel and does a pratfall – usually with his newly-acquired daughter looking on.Case in point: in one scene Jack is boffing a client while Enid who has managed to sneak into the bedroom before him, hides in the closet, trying to keep from blowing her lunch. Good times!And unlike the female partners in many detective yarns, Enid doesn't exist just to be menaced by the villains. She is manhandled, abused and subjected to violence in the novel, but manages to escape on her own. In fact, she does at least as much to solve the mystery and obtain justice as her gumshoe dad does.The characters in the book are all colorful and neatly rendered, particularly Jack and Enid. Unfortunately, as is the case with many novels these days, this one could have benefitted by a final editing pass to eliminate some of its tendency toward repetition. For example, at the beginning of the book, a death scene is described in which a “baby's fist spasmodically beat[s] against the dead woman's face, splattering rips and reams of blood in every direction of the tiny kitchen.”Nearly three quarters of the way through the book, Jack finds the corpse described in the initial passage and picks up the infant, whose “tiny fists beat against him, splattering rips and reams of blood across his face as she wailed at full volume.”I like the phrasing, but that's a few too many rips and reams of blood being splattered for my comfort.These are minor points, however. Offsetting them is the fact that Lewis has laced her novel with really fine writing that shows her eye for the telling detail and a facility for original language. It would have been easy to sketch the plot in a series of clichés, using tired metaphors hundreds of other authors have used before. Instead, Lewis opted for originality and flare.For instance, only a couple of sentences into her novel she gives us:“Eyes full of empty stared upward as she lay sprawled out like some grotesque pin-up girl. An all-American beauty served up on cheap linoleum, a Jackson Pollock canvas of bullet holes and blood spatter.”“Eyes full of empty;” “A Jackson Pollock canvas of bullet holes and blood splatter;” Now that's writing. An author capable of turning two phrases like that in a single paragraph knows what she's doing. What's more, Lewis does it over and over again in spinning out her story.She's on top of things from the very beginning. I'm looking forward to her next novel already.Read a sample of Gunning for Angels now (also available on Audible):https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B00I84NSE0&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_PW1M5AAVMJ81S3AEJ4X9&tag=podiat_ad2-20

Follow on Instagram for live chats and more | https://www.instagram.com/camp_kaiju/ Camp Kaiju T-shirts | https://banditsemporium.com/collections/camp-kaiju THE GOOD FX of this film are astounding. Trio of Denham, Driscoll and Englehorn are really fun. Charlie the Cook is the unsung hero of the SS Venture. The pacing rollicks. Skull Island is a wonderland of deadly, terrifying beasts. THE BAD 98% of Fay Wray's lines involve screaming. Best damn damsel in distress I've ever seen, but get ready to turn the volume down when she's onscreen. THE DOWNRIGHT CAMPY Imagine the writer's room when they decide to not only place Kong in NYC, but to have him climb the world's tallest building only to get shot down by machine guns. An insane conclusion that pays off monumentally. Bless the crazy. Bless the brave. . . . Classic. Stands the test of time thanks to its embrace of the genre while taking risks to offer something completely new. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/camp-kaiju/support
