Cʹest un film humaniste, interrogeant la place et la pertinence des médias face à la terrifiante complexité du réel, le voyeurisme de télévision, et la répression policière. Un film en marge qui parle dʹêtres en bordure, des freaks comme les appelle le cinéaste. Dans Un après-midi de Chien, Dog Day Afternoon, sorti en 1976, le réalisateur américain réussit le pari dʹun huis-clos haletant en partant dʹun fait divers réel qui a eu lieu à Brooklyn en août 1972. Le scénario est écrit au cordeau par Frank Pierson. Un homosexuel, amoureux, pour payer la transformation de son mari en femme, ne va rien trouver de mieux que de braquer une banque avec lʹaide dʹun complice tout aussi branquignole que lui. Une idée folle évidemment, et qui tourne court. Le récit échappe très vite au film de braquage. Les voyous multiplient les imprudences, les poisses, la banque est rapidement encerclée par la police et par les médias. Les cambrioleurs, coincés, se transforment en preneurs dʹotage et se joue alors une histoire presque surréaliste où la foule prend parti pour les braqueurs. Le drame devient une tragicomédie, où tout est pathétique. La situation de Sonny, joué avec maestria par Al Pacino, sa femme, transsexuelle, sa mère, le drame joué devant les caméras, et puis John Cazale, qui lʹaccompagne, loser également, font de ce film un spectacle étonnant, un classique du cinéma. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, nous allons plonger dans lʹunivers de ce cinéaste réaliste, issu de la télévision, fort dʹune filmographie de 43 longs-métrages dont les plus connus sont sans doute 12 hommes en colère et Serpico. Sidney Lumet est donc au cœur de lʹémission du jour, avec ce film incroyable quʹil faut avoir vu une fois dans sa vie. Ne tardons pas…direction Brooklyn, un après-midi de canicule, quelques instants avant la fermeture dʹune banque, au moment où tout va déraper.

Have Gun – Will Travel is an American Western series that was produced and originally broadcast by CBS on both television and radio from 1957 through 1963. The television version of the series starring Richard Boone was rated number three or number four in the Nielsen ratings every year of its first four seasons, and it is one of the few shows in television history to spawn a successful radio version. That radio series starring John Dehner debuted November 23, 1958, more than a year after the premiere of its televised counterpart. Production. Have Gun – Will Travel was created by Sam Rolfe and Herb Meadow and produced by Frank Pierson, Don Ingalls, Robert Sparks, and Julian Claman. Of the 225 episodes of the television series, 24 were written by Gene Roddenberry. Other major contributors included Bruce Geller, Harry Julian Fink, Don Brinkley, and Irving Wallace. Andrew V. McLaglen directed 101 episodes, and 28 were directed by series star Richard Boone. Premise. This series follows the adventures of a man calling himself "Paladin" (played by Richard Boone on television and voiced by John Dehner on radio), taking his name from that of the foremost knights in Charlemagne's court. He is a gentleman investigator/gunfighter who travels around the Old West working as a mercenary for people who hire him to solve their problems. Although Paladin charges steep fees to clients who can afford to hire him, typically $1000 per job, he provides his services for free to poor people who need his help. Like many Westerns, the television show was set in a time vaguely indicated to be some years after the American Civil War. The radio show announced the year of the story that followed in the opening of each episode. The season 5 television episode, "A Drop of Blood", gives the specific date of July 3, 1879. In the fourteenth and seventeenth ("Lazarus", March 6 and 7, 1875) episodes of season 5, it is 1875. Title. The title is a variation on a cliche used in personal advertisements in newspapers like The Times, indicating that the advertiser is ready for anything. It has been used this way from the early twentieth century. A trope common in theatrical advertising at the time was "Have tux, will travel" (originally from comedian Bob Hope in 1954), and CBS has claimed this was the specific inspiration for the writer Herb Meadow. The television show popularized the phrase in the 1950s and 1960s, and many variations have been used as titles for other works, including the 1958 science fiction novel Have Space Suit—Will Travel by Robert A. Heinlein. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

Have Gun – Will Travel is an American Western series that was produced and originally broadcast by CBS on both television and radio from 1957 through 1963. The television version of the series starring Richard Boone was rated number three or number four in the Nielsen ratings every year of its first four seasons, and it is one of the few shows in television history to spawn a successful radio version. That radio series starring John Dehner debuted November 23, 1958, more than a year after the premiere of its televised counterpart. Production. Have Gun – Will Travel was created by Sam Rolfe and Herb Meadow and produced by Frank Pierson, Don Ingalls, Robert Sparks, and Julian Claman. Of the 225 episodes of the television series, 24 were written by Gene Roddenberry. Other major contributors included Bruce Geller, Harry Julian Fink, Don Brinkley, and Irving Wallace. Andrew V. McLaglen directed 101 episodes, and 28 were directed by series star Richard Boone. Premise. This series follows the adventures of a man calling himself "Paladin" (played by Richard Boone on television and voiced by John Dehner on radio), taking his name from that of the foremost knights in Charlemagne's court. He is a gentleman investigator/gunfighter who travels around the Old West working as a mercenary for people who hire him to solve their problems. Although Paladin charges steep fees to clients who can afford to hire him, typically $1000 per job, he provides his services for free to poor people who need his help. Like many Westerns, the television show was set in a time vaguely indicated to be some years after the American Civil War. The radio show announced the year of the story that followed in the opening of each episode. The season 5 television episode, "A Drop of Blood", gives the specific date of July 3, 1879. In the fourteenth and seventeenth ("Lazarus", March 6 and 7, 1875) episodes of season 5, it is 1875. Title. The title is a variation on a cliche used in personal advertisements in newspapers like The Times, indicating that the advertiser is ready for anything. It has been used this way from the early twentieth century.

For the third week in our Comfort Crime Month, we take a trip back to a sweaty August day in 1970s Brooklyn to ride shotgun with Al Pacino and John Cazale on a bank robbery gone very wrong in Sidney Lumet's Oscar-nominated Dog Day Afternoon. We talk about the real-life 1972 robbery that inspired the film, the Gen X/Millennial interest in true crime (a seed probably planted by Unsolved Mysteries), the improvisational rehearsal process that supported and enhanced screenwriter Frank Pierson's Oscar-winning script, Sidney Lumet's naturalistic approach to telling this story, the birth of sensationalist news, the uniquely unforgettable John Cazale, and the choice to limit music apart from the amazing opening song "Amoreena" by Elton John, an incredibly nuanced pick that both contrasts and amplifies the themes of the film. Release your hostages and give us a listen!

McLaglen directed 101 episodes, and 28 were directed by series star Richard Boone. Premise. This series follows the adventures of a man calling himself "Paladin" (played by Richard Boone on television and voiced by John Dehner on radio), taking his name from that of the foremost knights in Charlemagne's court. He is a gentleman investigator/gunfighter who travels around the Old West working as a mercenary for people who hire him to solve their problems. Although Paladin charges steep fees to clients who can afford to hire him, typically $1000 per job, he provides his services for free to poor people who need his help. Like many Westerns, the television show was set in a time vaguely indicated to be some years after the American Civil War. The radio show announced the year of the story that followed in the opening of each episode. The season 5 television episode, "A Drop of Blood", gives the specific date of July 3, 1879. In the fourteenth and seventeenth ("Lazarus", March 6 and 7, 1875) episodes of season 5, it is 1875. Title. The title is a variation on a cliche used in personal advertisements in newspapers like The Times, indicating that the advertiser is ready for anything. It has been used this way from the early twentieth century. A trope common in theatrical advertising at the time was "Have tux, will travel" (originally from comedian Bob Hope in 1954), and CBS has claimed this was the specific inspiration for the writer Herb Meadow. The television show popularized the phrase in the 1950s and 1960s, and many variations have been used as titles for other works, including the 1958 science fiction novel Have Space Suit—Will Travel by Robert A. Heinlein.

Of the 225 episodes of the television series, 24 were written by Gene Roddenberry. Other major contributors included Bruce Geller, Harry Julian Fink, Don Brinkley, and Irving Wallace. Andrew V. McLaglen directed 101 episodes, and 28 were directed by series star Richard Boone. Premise. This series follows the adventures of a man calling himself "Paladin" (played by Richard Boone on television and voiced by John Dehner on radio), taking his name from that of the foremost knights in Charlemagne's court. He is a gentleman investigator/gunfighter who travels around the Old West working as a mercenary for people who hire him to solve their problems. Although Paladin charges steep fees to clients who can afford to hire him, typically $1000 per job, he provides his services for free to poor people who need his help. Like many Westerns, the television show was set in a time vaguely indicated to be some years after the American Civil War. The radio show announced the year of the story that followed in the opening of each episode. The season 5 television episode, "A Drop of Blood", gives the specific date of July 3, 1879. In the fourteenth and seventeenth ("Lazarus", March 6 and 7, 1875) episodes of season 5, it is 1875. Title. The title is a variation on a cliche used in personal advertisements in newspapers like The Times, indicating that the advertiser is ready for anything. It has been used this way from the early twentieth century. A trope common in theatrical advertising at the time was "Have tux, will travel" (originally from comedian Bob Hope in 1954), and CBS has claimed this was the specific inspiration for the writer Herb Meadow. The television show popularized the phrase in the 1950s and 1960s, and many variations have been used as titles for other works, including the 1958 science fiction novel Have Space Suit—Will Travel by Robert A. Heinlein.

Have Gun – Will Travel is an American Western series that was produced and originally broadcast by CBS on both television and radio from 1957 through 1963. The television version of the series starring Richard Boone was rated number three or number four in the Nielsen ratings every year of its first four seasons, and it is one of the few shows in television history to spawn a successful radio version. That radio series starring John Dehner debuted November 23, 1958, more than a year after the premiere of its televised counterpart. Production. Have Gun – Will Travel was created by Sam Rolfe and Herb Meadow and produced by Frank Pierson, Don Ingalls, Robert Sparks, and Julian Claman. Of the 225 episodes of the television series, 24 were written by Gene Roddenberry. Other major contributors included Bruce Geller, Harry Julian Fink, Don Brinkley, and Irving Wallace. Andrew V. McLaglen directed 101 episodes, and 28 were directed by series star Richard Boone. Premise. This series follows the adventures of a man calling himself "Paladin" (played by Richard Boone on television and voiced by John Dehner on radio), taking his name from that of the foremost knights in Charlemagne's court. He is a gentleman investigator/gunfighter who travels around the Old West working as a mercenary for people who hire him to solve their problems. Although Paladin charges steep fees to clients who can afford to hire him, typically $1000 per job, he provides his services for free to poor people who need his help. Like many Westerns, the television show was set in a time vaguely indicated to be some years after the American Civil War. The radio show announced the year of the story that followed in the opening of each episode. The season 5 television episode, "A Drop of Blood", gives the specific date of July 3, 1879. In the fourteenth and seventeenth ("Lazarus", March 6 and 7, 1875) episodes of season 5, it is 1875. Title. The title is a variation on a cliche used in personal advertisements in newspapers like The Times, indicating that the advertiser is ready for anything. It has been used this way from the early twentieth century. A trope common in theatrical advertising at the time was "Have tux, will travel" (originally from comedian Bob Hope in 1954), and CBS has claimed this was the specific inspiration for the writer Herb Meadow. The television show popularized the phrase in the 1950s and 1960s, and many variations have been used as titles for other works, including the 1958 science fiction novel Have Space Suit—Will Travel by Robert A. Heinlein.

Bullies In The Backyard,” North's second LP, features 10 songs written under the cloud of a seven-year lawsuit Matt's family ultimately won against Nashville Public Schools due to violations against his son's special needs. The Federal Court verdict changed precedents and now benefits families nationwide facing similar challenges. No, it's not 10 songs about special education, but with no work in sight for recording or live shows due to Covid, Matt enlisted himself at Nashville's Home Depot to support his family and spent the rest of his time recording “Bullies In The Backyard” in his home studio. Just like Guy Patterson in the iconic film “That Thing You Do,” Matt found himself selling appliances when he'd rather be drumming. Mixed by Grammy-winning producer, Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco, Los Lobos) and mastered by Pete Lyman (Tom Waits, Chris Stapleton, Weezer), the record features appearances from Jonny Polonsky and Jesse DeNatale alongside Matt's core band of Nashville A-listers: Stuart Mathis (Lucinda Williams, The Wallflowers) – guitars Chris Donohue (Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris) – bass Michael Webb (John Fogerty, Chris Stapleton) – keyboards   North grew up playing gigs in Champaign, Illinois; starting as a teenager drumming with the late Jay Bennett of Wilco and Coltrane bassist, Rafael Garrett. He dropped out of The University of North Texas in 1990, forfeiting his music scholarship to join the University of Illinois Jazz Band for a tour of Russia alongside bassist, Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett, Indigo Girls). Moving to San Francisco, he worked as a fact-checker for Mother Jones Magazine, played in garage bands, and wound up roommates with comedians Patton Oswalt and Mitch Hedberg in the Haight for some two years. At 26, North was signed as a writer to the William Morris Agency by manager, Dave Becky, whose roster included Marc Maron, Louis C.K., Dave Attell, and Chris Rock. Matt moved to Los Angeles, and began composing songs, answering “Drummer Wanted” ads, and writing a screenplay, Best Western; the latter won multiple awards, and led to regular work as a story analyst – a skill he's transferred into songwriting. In 2000, North starred opposite James Woods in the Golden Globe-winner “Dirty Pictures” directed by Frank Pierson (writer of Cool Hand Luke, Dog Day Afternoon) was soon hired by Larry David to guest star in “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Matt's chief focus remained on producing music and raising his son who was born with learning challenges due to a rare chromosomal disease. During his time in Los Angeles and Nashville he performed live and recorded with the following:   Matt's Info http://www.mattnorth.net /https://mattnorthofficial.bandcamp.com/releases

One left early, (20-year-old Bobby Westeberg) while Wojtowicz and 18-year-old Sal Naturale proceeded to steal almost $200,000 in cash and traveler's checks before being surrounded by the police. What happened for the next 14 hours was a standoff and media circus for the ages.  Turns out Wojtowicz said he needed the money for a “sex change” operation (as it was known at the time)  for his partner Ernest Aron. The police brought Aron to the scene straight from the hospital where they had attempted suicide the week before. Another of Wojtowicz lover was brought out and he kissed him on the mouth in front of the news camera which hundreds of locals who made up the crowd. He also threw money into the air and ordered pizza for the bank hostages held inside.  Eventually, the robbers and many of the bank hostages were taken to JFK airport where Naturale was shot in the chest and killed immediately. Wojtowicz was arrested and eventually spent a few years in jail for his crimes. He married again while in prison and had a tough time holding down a job because of his past. In the end, he was reduced to trying to make some money by posing in front of the bank for autographs. He died of cancer in 2006 at the age of 60.  Aron eventually had gender reassignment surgery and died from the complications of AIDS in 1987. She took the name, Elizabeth Eden.  Writers P.F. Kluge and Thomas Moore wrote about the crime and hostage situation on September 22, 1972, for Life magazine and the title of the article was “The Boys in the Bank” that was bought by Warner Brothers pictures and developed into the film Dog Day Afternoon.  The 1975 film directed by Sidney Lumet and screenplay by Frank Pierson changes a few of the major details. The lead crook is “Sonny Wortzik” played by Al Pacino and his main cohort is Sal Naturile played by 40-year-old acting legend John Cazale. Filmed in Winsdor Terrace, Brooklyn (near Margo D's home!) the movie would become a huge moneymaker and nominated for all of the major categories at the Academy Awards in 1976 (and losing most to One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest which was the movie to beat that season.)  The film is a modern classic and entered in 2009 to the Library of Congress and in the National Film Registry.  In 2014, The Dog a documentary by filmmakers Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren told the “real” story by following the real John Wojtowicz who painted himself as an early gay rights icon and misunderstood human.   So, between the original novel and the movie--which did we prefer?

Filmed in Winsdor Terrace, Brooklyn (near Margo D's home!) the movie would become a huge moneymaker and nominated for all of the major categories at the Academy Awards in 1976 (and losing most to One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest which was the movie to beat that season.)  The film is a modern classic and entered in 2009 to the Library of Congress and in the National Film Registry.  In 2014, The Dog a documentary by filmmakers Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren told the “real” story by following the real John Wojtowicz who painted himself as an early gay rights icon and misunderstood human.   So, between the original novel and the movie--which did we prefer?

Il titolo della ventottesima puntata della terza stagione di J-TACTICS, trae spunto da:​​ “Quel pomeriggio di un giorno da cani”, (Dog Day Afternoon) che è un film del 1975 diretto da Sidney Lumet e sceneggiato da Frank Pierson.Interpretato da Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, Chris Sarandon e James Broderick.Il film è basato sugli eventi di una vera rapina tentata in una banca di New York, nel quartiere di Brooklyn, avvenuta il 22 agosto del 1972.Tre rapinatori mettono in atto il loro piano: entrano in una banca poco prima dell’orario di chiusura e, al momento opportuno, bloccano il personale.Subito un imprevisto intralcia l’operazione, l’elemento più giovane della banda non se la sente e abbandona il colpo. Rimangono Sonny e Sal.Quando è il momento di vedere cosa c’è nella cassaforte, i due hanno una brutta sorpresa, sono rimasti solo un migliaio di dollari.Disorientati, decidono di raccogliere i soldi e gli averi del direttore, del guardiano e delle commesse della piccola filiale, che inevitabilmente diventano ostaggi quando i rapinatori si accorgono che la banca è circondata dalla polizia e che la fuga non è più possibile senza trattare.Un poliziotto, avvia i negoziati sotto la supervisione dell’FBI.I rapinatori chiedono una scorta sicura fino a un aereo che li porti fuori dal paese. Intanto intorno la banca si accalcano persone pronte a osannare Sonny che, ormai fuori controllo, grida la sua rabbia verso la società americana.Arrivano giornalisti che fanno dei due le star del giorno, trasformando la disperazione in chiacchiere da bar, cercando di svelare chi siano questi due personaggi e il perché del loro gesto.Facendo la nostra solita trasposizione dalla cinematografia al mondo del calcio, ed in modo particolare alle vicende juventine, potremo utilizzare il titolo e le vicende narrate nella pellicola per analizzare la prova, scialba, piatta, senza cuore, anima e sangue offerta dalla sempre più sconfortante Juve di questa stagione in un “pomeriggio di un giorno da cani”, all’Artemio Franchi di Firenze.La Juventus non riesce a trovare continuità di gioco e risultati e dopo l’1-1 contro la Fiorentina vede complicarsi ancora una volta la rincorsa per un posto nella prossima edizione della Champions League.Dopo il pareggio del Franchi sotto accusa è finito nuovamente l’allenatore Andrea Pirlo che nella sua lucida analisi nel post partita ha ammesso i suoi errori (soprattutto l’aver schierato l’inedita difesa a tre) poi corretti in corso d’opera durante il match.Il tecnico bianconero, a cui Paratici poco prima del fischio d’inizio della partita aveva rinnovato la fiducia affermando che rimarrà sulla panchina del club anche nella prossima stagione in caso di qualificazione alla Champions League, ha poi anche ammesso che né lui né la società sono soddisfatti di quanto fatto in questa prima annata da allenatore.“Abbiam fatto un bruttissimo primo tempo. Dovevamo affrontarlo in un altro modo perché era una partita decisiva per la Champions League”, Le iniziali aspettative della squadra, erano diverse quindi non sono contento di quello che ho fatto. E credo non lo sia nemmeno la società”,le parole di Pirlo al termine di Fiorentina-Juventus ai microfoni di Sky Sport.Non tira una bella aria all’interno dello spogliatoio della Juventus.Se i passi falsi in campionato e l’eliminazione in Europa ad opera del Porto avevano già destabilizzato l’ambiente, l’andamento altalenante delle ultime giornate e il rischio di restare fuori dalla Champions hanno fatto il resto.Qualcosa insomma si è rotto tra Pirlo e il gruppo, e sono tanti i segnali a confermarlo.Una situazione che sembra dunque compromettere la permanenza dell’allenatore sulla panchina bianconera anche in caso di piazzamento tra le prime 4.Uno dei punti di forza della Juventus post-Sarri, sembrava la compattezza garantita dal ritorno di un grande ex come Andrea Pirlo.Uno che, nonostante avesse zero esperienza in panchina, avrebbe avuto dalla sua la conoscenza dell’ambiente, e un feeling molto forte con lo spogliatoio e in primis con i senatori, dei quali è stato anche compagno di squadra.Con il passare delle settimane, e alla luce dei risultati deludenti, qualcosa però si è incrinato e le cose non sono andate come da programma.Lo si è percepito anche dai commenti del mister alle prestazioni della sua squadra, considerata spesso non capace di trasferire in campo le sue idee di gioco.Si pensi ad esempio al post-partita del clamoroso tonfo interno contro il Benevento, quando Pirlo ha scaricato molte delle responsabilità del ko sui giocatori protagonisti di errori individuali grossolani, proferendo poi una frase emblematica: “È inutile raccontarci storie se poi non si ha la volontà di perseguire gli obiettivi in campo”.Insomma tanta confusione, poche certezze, e soprattutto atteggiamento troppo compassato.Queste le principali critiche a Pirlo, che secondo i ben informati, ha avuto problemi anche all’interno del suo staff.Si parla infatti di forti divergenze di vedute con Igor Tudor sui metodi del mister.Proprio l’ex difensore è stato uno dei nomi più gettonati delle ultime ore, come la possibile alternativa a Pirlo in caso di esonero immediato.Un esonero che al momento resta però molto difficile, a prescindere dalle dichiarazioni di circostanza di Paratici.Tuttavia al di là del destino del tecnico bresciano bisognerà centrare a tutti i costi l’obiettivo minimo della qualificazione alla Champions, e la vittoria della Coppa Italia.Due risultati che non sembrano, come detto, destinati a bastare a Pirlo per garantirsi la conferma.A Firenze in un aprile ancora ammorbato dalla pandemia è stato “un pomeriggio di un giorno da cani” non solo per il mister che pare essersi oramai arreso, ma anche per il presidente, ridotto ad un surreale silenzio dopo l’affaire SuperLega, e che in estate scelse l’ex centrocampista come tecnico.I due Andrea, come i protagonisti della pellicola da cui trae spunto l’odierna puntata di J-TACTICS.Il presidente come Sonny, istrione ed arringatore di folle, e Pirlo come Sal, con i suoi silenzi quasi autistici che rallentano il ritmo verso una pausa malinconico-meditativa, con la sua visione della situazione ristretta a pochi scambi di battute.Diversi caratterialmente come i protagonisti del film, ma come loro legati da una profonda e sincera amicizia.Sarà nostro gradito ospite l’amico Federico Gennarelli, speaker a Radio Sportiva, giornalista per ViolaNews.com, DonneNelPallone.com, CEO di Spezia1906.com.Diteci la vostra, interagiremo con voi in chat live! ​ Ecco i link dei nostri social:CANALE TELEGRAM:https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAE2Dp-yj5b1N4SNcMQINSTAGRAM:https://instagram.com/jtactics_?igshid=1fg7nrkzhl2mtFACEBOOK:http://m.facebook.com/jtacticsmdn/

"Presumed Innocent" was a hot commodity in Hollywood, with several studios putting up big bucks for the film rights. Alan J. Pakula and Frank Pierson fashioned a decent film adaptation from a novel seemingly difficult to translate to the big screen, and Harrison Ford does well to shed his Indiana Jones image ... with the help of a new hairdo. For those who have not seen the film, it might be best to watch it before listening to this episode, as host Jeff Commings gives away several major plot points in discussion of John Williams' score. Williams uses the piano for two pieces of thematic material that serve to waft over the atmosphere instead of serving act as leitmotifs for any of the characters.

"Your own personal piece of the American dream." Like the remake before it, Barbra Streisand’s decision to produce and play the lead in her own version of A Star Is Born likely had something to do with ego, but it’s hard to argue that the story is also one with two wonderfully rich characters at the heart of it – characters any actor would likely want to perform. Regardless, Streisand opposite Kris Kristofferson, who was also a big musical talent at the time, seemed like a perfect fit for this version. But it didn’t land quite as strongly for us as the previous two did. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our “A Star Is Born” series with Frank Pierson’s 1976 take on A Star Is Born. We debate what it is about this version of the story that leads us to find it the weakest of the three iterations thus far. We talk about Streisand and Kristofferson, what they each bring to the role, and how well they work for us. We look at the tone the film takes – very much a 70s feel – and how each of the versions thus far have really found a way to wholly ground themselves in their own period. We look at the songs and discuss how they work for us. And we look at some of the beats that repeat throughout these films and talk about why some don’t work that well here. It’s an interesting film to discuss in this series because the tone feels so different. It’s not our favorite of the lot, but it certainly provides a lot to talk about, so check it out then tune in to this week’s show. The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins.

Edición 177 de La Gran Evasión, 10/4/2018, esta noche de tormenta veremos que la voluntad del hombre es inconquistable, asistiremos a la forja de una leyenda, de un mito, de Luke el indomable, un excelso Paul Newman en la obra cumbre de Stuart Rosenberg, La Leyenda del Indomable, 1967. Magnifica parábola este Cool Hand Luke, todo un análisis de esos soldados que regresaron de la segunda guerra mundial y se trajeron la guerra con ellos, una premonición de la desconexión con el sistema, que llegaría en los años sesenta, pero la película es mucho más, de fondo, deja profundas reflexiones: Preferir la muerte a vivir entre grilletes, el Sacrificio que conlleva una autentica amistad, el Precio a pagar por tus Principios, la Dignidad del ser humano, el Cruel y Brutal sistema penitenciario, la Religión, la Forja de los mitos, esos Mártires que todos necesitamos, para no rendirnos, para no olvidar lo que somos, hombres, ni bestias, ni esclavos, simplemente, Hombres. La película de Rosenberg se mueve por el gran guión de Donn Pearce y Frank Pierson, basado en la novela, con trazos autobiográficos, de éste último, con emoción y cine, transita por la voluntad de Luke a través de escenas míticas, que ya forman parte de la historia del cine, la de los huevos, el alquitranado de la carretera, la llegada de la madre, el símbolo fascista y represor de ese guardián con gafas de espejo, el sadismo del Capitán, el sometimiento de la voluntad a partir de la rutina, de las reglas… Luke es un canto rodado, un insurrecto por genética, su obstinación es admirada por los reclusos y también rechazada, lo convierten en un ídolo, al que adoran primero y repudian después, otra alegoría cristiana. Para ser una leyenda, un mártir, debe haber un sacrificio, una entrega, unos “milagros”, que son sus hazañas… Pocos confían en ese espíritu, incluso los espectadores nos creemos su rendición, cuando lo atrapan por segunda vez, su sometimiento, tras la escena de la zanja, terrible, literalmente cava su tumba y se sepulta, su cuerpo se rinde pero su alma…NO. Se convierte en un mártir y tiene sus apóstoles, su acólito, Dragline, George Kennedy, su misión será mantener vivo el recuerdo de Luke, de un tipo indomable que realizó prodigios increíbles, y que sobre todo, era su amigo. Paul Newman está pletórico, nos brinda una gran interpretación, el Oscar se lo arrebató Rod Steiger por En el Calor de la noche (Jewison), pero Luke merecía la estatuilla, ese laconismo con el que se expresa, sólo habla para sentenciar, brillante. Consigue transmitir esa terquedad con su presencia, con su actitud ante el poder y la autoridad, fue ascendido y condecorado en la guerra, pero también degradado a soldado raso, ante alguna injusticia que no permitió, es un rebelde que no sabe que hacer ni como actuar en el mundo civil, siempre fuera de lugar, incapaz de acatar las reglas, los corsés sociales. Romper unos parquímetros le acarrean dos años de trabajos forzados… Los secundarios, vistos hoy en día son tremendos, Hopper, Dean Stanton, Strother Martin, George Kennedy, a destacar el breve, pero inolvidable papel, de la madre de Luke, Arletta, la gran Jo Van Fleet, una actriz de teatro inmensa, que en apenas unos minutos deja marca. La película realiza una clara denuncia de la crueldad penitenciaria, de los abusos de poder, de la vileza de los poderosos, el despotismo, la arbitrariedad y el sadismo de los jefes, acrecentado con ese “Jefe, ¿puedo...?” Todos deben pedir permiso, para secarse el sudor, para quitarse la camisa, para beber agua, hasta para mear, una humillación constante. La fotografía de Conrad L. Hall es muy importante, la narración se nutre de esa estética realista, notamos el calor, el sofocante calor, los sudores, los mosquitos, la atmósfera opresiva del barracón, los atardeceres llenos de simbolismo y libertad, con las siluetas de hombres engrilletados, esos crepúsculos desde una carretera interminable, geniales, ademas utiliza muchos ángulos ingeniosos, ver la fuga a través del reflejo de las gafas del jefe, las tomas desde arriba de Luke en la escena de los huevos, prácticamente un Cristo crucificado… El ritmo es pausado, pero cuando la historia lo requiere, salimos de la rutina y respiramos con los prodigios de Luke, ahí el montaje y el ritmo se aceleran, como en la primera fuga y su astucia para despistar a los sabuesos, otro golpe más a la conciencia, pues se siente más la muerte de un animal que la de un preso. Todo el conjunto está apoyado en una genial banda sonora de Lalo Schifrin, mezclando esos temas de guitarra y banjo, llenos de sentimiento y dolor, canciones populares del sur, de esos desposeídos, y las mezcla, con la emoción del uso de instrumentos de viento. Schifrin era un auténtico maestro en melodías. Bonus Track: Os dejamos como bonus un par de maravillas, otro tema de la banda sonora de Schifrin, el del concurso de comer huevos duros y una versión del Cotton Field, a cargo de la Creedence Clearwater Revival, que aparece en su memorable disco "Willy And The Poor Boys" (1969). Disfrutad de la libertad. -Egg Eating Contest -Cotton Fields Huimos del campo de trabajos forzados de Radiopolis, despistando a los sabuesos…..José Miguel Moreno, Gervi Navío y moviendo astutamente las ramas del cine con un cordelito, nuestro crítico, César Bardés Gervasio Navío Flores.

In this episode Broken Boxes gets into conversation with writer and director Sterlin Harjo. We hear about Sterlin's journey to becoming a filmmaker and he shares memories of growing up in rural Oklahoma as 'that weird artist kid'. Sterlin talks about being a founding member of renown Native comedy group the 1491s and reflects on the beginning project that catapulted the group to what it is today. Sterlin also talks about Standing Rock as an Indigenous led global movement and we get his perspective regarding the film works that have come since. Sterlin also offers his insight for existing in a world consumed by social media and offers advice on how to approach creating film work in today's accessible media platforms. Sterlin Harjo belongs to the Seminole and Creek Nations, and is a native of Holdenville, Oklahoma. Interested from an early age in visual art and film, Harjo studied painting at the University of Oklahoma before writing his first feature-length script. Since then Harjo was a participant in the Sundance Institute's Feature Film Program. In 2004, Sundance Institute selected Harjo to receive an Annenberg Fellowship, which provided extended support over a two-year period to facilitate the creation of his feature project. In 2006 Harjo was in the inaugural class of United States Artists award recipients. He was also the youngest recipient.

A theme of death and loss looms over our 10th episode as we discuss A Star Is Born—the 1976 version starring Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson and directed by Frank Pierson. It's another trip back into the 70s, when sex, drugs and rock and roll were actual things. CeCe talks about Joan Didion's writings on grief before learning about Kristofferson the songwriter. We marvel at Streisand's perfect voice, discuss the problems of the film as well as its heart, and ponder how this film represents the offscreen entity that was “Barbara Streisand.” We close with a brief discussion of James' new book of political philosophy titled Living in an Age of Survival (Glass Spider Publishing).
