Podcasts about George Sanders

Today we live in a cynical world. It's pervasive, this debilitating disbelief in our institutions, our once assured tenets of groundedness. Now we doubt, not only what we see, but what we hear, and even our own thoughts. Are they indeed our own? Or, have they been shaped by the unrelenting marketers and influencers? Back in the 80's - even earlier back in the 60's the attitudes of boredom and mistrust seemed exclusively the province of old school Europe, in particular the French, who invented the perfect word for it: Ennui. The great bon vivant, George Sanders, in his suicide note explained that he was leaving his life because he was bored. In the following offerings we celebrate a time when cynics could be appreciated as unique and exotic. CYNICAL GIRL by Marshall Crenshaw proclaims the lure of nihilism in a poppy, irresistible interpretation. And, THEM TERRIBLE BOOTS by the Orlons makes fun of a wannabe fashionista at the crossroads of burgeoning Mod style. MARSHALL CRENSHAWIn Marshall Crenshaw's 1982 eponymous debut album, CYNICAL GIRL chimed out so brightly it was a paused that refreshed. The singer wants a cynical girl who has no use for the real world, and this notion, wrapped in candy colored chords, invited us to embrace the “Debbie Downers” in our lives, and to realize there's something comforting in the dark side. Maybe we could save each other. Crenshaw, the latter-day, second coming of Buddy Holly even portrayed the Proto-Rock God in “La Bamba” and charmed the world with his unapologetic cheeriness. But the euphoria couldn't last. His debut outing achieved his highest chart position, but it was a bracing example of positivity while it lasted. THE ORLONSThis quartet of street-wise, Philly teens made the trsition from middlin' Doo-Wop practitioners to dance craze mega stars with their triple crown of chart toppers: Wah Watusi, Don't Hang Up, and South Street, evolving into one of Cameo-Parkway's hottest acts. THEM TERRIBLE BOOTS from 1962 was the B-side to South Street, and rode that comet's tail into recording history. It's an evocative glimpse into that time when the cultural landscape was in transition from the staid 50s to the super-charged 60s. The aforementioned cynicism is reflected in the mockery to which the dude who is wearing the mod clothes is subjected.  But, he was just probably a bit ahead of his time. When the only male member, (and survivor) of the group, Stephen Caldwell, repeats the title phrase in his basso profundo, the whole salty world view clicks into place.

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

The Falcon was an old-time radio show that aired from 1943 to 1954. The show was based on the character of Michael Waring, a suave and sophisticated private investigator known as the Falcon. Waring was a master of disguise and had a knack for getting himself into and out of dangerous situations. The Falcon was a popular show during its run, and it helped to popularize the private investigator genre on radio. The show was also notable for its use of humor and adventure, which made it a favorite with listeners of all ages. The Falcon was created by Michael Arlen, who also wrote the novels that the show was based on. Arlen was a prolific writer, and he also created the character of The Green Hat, which was also adapted into a radio show. The Falcon was played by several different actors over the course of its run, including John Calvert, George Sanders, and Barry Sullivan. The show also featured a number of notable guest stars, including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and Cary Grant. The Falcon was a groundbreaking show in many ways. It was one of the first radio shows to feature a private investigator as the main character, and it was also one of the first shows to use humor and adventure as a way to entertain listeners. The Falcon was a popular show during its run, and it helped to pave the way for other private investigator shows on radio and television. In addition to its popularity on radio, The Falcon was also adapted into a number of films. The first film, The Falcon Takes Over, was released in 1942 and starred George Sanders as the Falcon. The film was a critical and commercial success, and it spawned a number of sequels. The Falcon films were popular throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and they helped to make the character of the Falcon a household name. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

EPISODE 47 - “Laird Cregar (Star of the Month) ” - 08/05/2024 With his sad, dark eyes, hulking frame, and aristocratic speech, actor LAIRD CREGAR often played the complex villain tortured by a sinister past or an unrequited love that turns into an obsession. No one played characters with suppressed anguish, a tortured soul, or darkness lingering beneath the surface better than he did. While he only made 16 films in a period of five years, he is unforgettable. His desire to be thin was his achilles heel that turned tragic.

When A Hard Days Night exploded onto the scene in 1964, its charm and success was simply ripe for some good ol' fashioned bootlegging. What followed was half a decade of wannabe music movies – specifically, movies in which pop bands play themselves while still following a strictly scripted plot. Mainly these were vehicles for British boy bands, but eventually they started to extend over to the Americas – where they warped from wholesome to hippie.In this season finale, Bart and Jenna tackle several of these band movies head on – and with Head on. It's an episode full of high highs (marijuana and LSD) and low lows (Herman's Hermits and Freddie and the Dreamers), but quite frankly they're all a treat as its such a decade-specific genre. Get ready for a whole lot of restless youths, square plots, stoner humor, and screaming, adoring fans.The following films are discussed:• Ferry Cross the Mersey (1964) Directed by Jeremy Summers Starring Gerry & The Pacemakers, Mona Washbourne, Cilla Black• Having a Wild Weekend (1965) Catch Us If You Can Directed by John Boorman Starring The Dave Clark Five, Barbara Ferris, Yootha Joyce• Help!

Some of the things we hear from successful streaming media executives are that: you should never become comfortable, you should never stop growing your audience, and you should never settle for just one medium, like Video On Demand, SVOD or when there are other ways to expand your audience reach. Netflix, Amazon, Paramount, BET+, Hulu, and Disney+ might be able to remain subscription-based-only services, but most online streamers need to explore every possible path to market their platforms in a somewhat crowded space. How exactly, can you build a media empire with this stiff competition ahead? George Sanders, a long-time media executive, has built, run, and funded his media company. He brings his unique perspective on how to build a thriving Media Enterprise. Mr. Sanders is the President and Founder of the Daily Gospel Network. He is considered one of the leading authorities on Christian Business and Ministry marketing. Through the years George Sanders has provided Ministries with a variety of marketing solutions from social media management to television broadcasting. George and the Daily Gospel Network team currently manage over 300+ Ministries with Television, Internet, Social Media, and Offline marketing. He recently chop't up with us regarding how to build a thriving streaming platform and the road towards massive success in 2024.

Not many movies make decorative artwork a sinister part of the story...but The Picture Of Dorian Gray does. Albert Lewin's handsome adaptation of Oscar Wilde's story about a painting that evolves to show the dark deeds of the lead character while he remains young is a popular concept. It's been remade many times. In this 1945 version, Hurd Hatfield's intentionally soulless performance as Dorian is one of the least-interesting parts of the film. George Sanders gets many caustic lines though and Angela Lansbury is the heart of the movie, even though she's not in it very much. This ranked on AFI's Top 100 Thrills and it's not scary all these decades later, but that doesn't mean there isn't something eerie going on. So stop obsessing about your looks as the 565th doodle of Have You Ever Seen (and another solo show by Ryan) investigates the supernatural goings on in The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

Bart and Jenna want to tell you what their favorites films from 1961 are, but the catch is that the films can only be selected from films covered on Cinema60 so far! But first, they're going to talk about six films from 1961 that they've chosen to watch in hopes that they can snazz up their Top Tens with some bonus bangers.

Once again, Cinema60 communes with the dead in order to highlight some notable opinions on film. Tonight's ghost guest is Susan Sontag and her seminal Sight and Sound review on Ingmar Bergman's Persona. Known primarily as an author, filmmaker and intellect, in the 1960s Sontag was just beginning her illustrious career as a writer – her essay “Notes on ‘Camp'” helped to define the camp aesthetic to the public at large. Simiarly, her 1967 review of Persona has endured throughout the ages, rising above other contemporary voices to help audiences (old and new alike) better derive meaning from Bergman's rather abstract film. In this episode, Bart and Jenna use Sontag's article as a sounding board to dissect Bergman's filmmaking and explore the depths of Persona. Easy enough for Bart, who likely would have chosen this film himself if the episode had been about his favorite ‘60s pick. Meanwhile, Jenna muses on the idea that all cinema must have a “point” – even if sometimes the point is that there is no point. The following film is discussed:• Persona (1966) Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Margaretha KrookAlso mentioned:• Journey to Italy (1954) Viaggio in Italia Directed by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders, Maria Mauban• L'avventura (1960) Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni Starring Monica Vitti, Gabriele Ferzetti, Lea Massari• Last Year at Marienbad (1961) L'année dernière à Marienbad Directed by Alain Resnais Starring Delphine Seyrig, Giorgio Albertazzi, Sacha Pitoëff• Through a Glass Darkly (1961) Såsom i en spegel Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Harriet Andersson, Gunnar Björnstrand, Max von Sydow• The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) Directed by John Ford Starring James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles• Winter Light (1963) Nattvardsgästerna Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Ingrid Thulin, Gunnar Björnstrand, Gunnel Lindblom• The Silence (1963) Tystnaden Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Ingrid Thulin, Gunnel Lindblom, Birger Malmsten• Hour of the Wolf (1968) Vargtimmen Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann, Gertrud Fridh• Shame (1968) Skammen Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Liv Ullmann, Max von Sydow, Sigge Fürst• Duet for Cannibals (1969) Duett för kannibaler Directed by Susan Sontag Starring Adriana Asti, Lars Ekborg, Gösta Ekman• The Passion of Anna (1969) En passion Directed by Ingmar Bergman Starring Liv Ullmann, Bibi Andersson, Max von Sydow• Brother Carl (1971) Bröder Carl Directed by Susan Sontag Starring Geneviève Page, Gunnel Lindblom, Keve Hjelm• The Point (1971) Directed by Fred Wolf Starring Ringo Starr, Mike Lookinland, Lennie Weinrib• Promised Lands (1974) Directed by Susan Sontag• Inland Empire (2006) Directed by David Lynch Starring Laura Dern, Justin Theroux, Jeremy Irons

When Bill Gargan was fired from Martin Kane he planned to star in a Broadway rendition of Doctor Knock. In late September of 1951, Gargan signed a one-million-dollar contract that made him the exclusive property of NBC for the next five years. The deal required him to participate in a minimum of four guest spots on radio and TV each year. At the same time, Gargan was invited by Frank Folsom of RCA to accompany him to Rome to meet the Pope. Along the way, Gargan went to Paris to appear in the October 7th, 1951 episode of The Big Show. He participated in a sketch involving a poker game with George Sanders, Fernand Gravey, and Meredith Willson. Two weeks after his Big Show appearance, William Gargan was starring in a new series for NBC. Launched as part of NBC's year-long Silver Jubilee, Barrie Crane, Confidential Investigator, first aired over NBC from New York on Wednesday October 3rd, 1951 at 10PM eastern time. Bill Gargan debuted as the detective opposite Mr. President on ABC, Frank Edwards on Mutual, and boxing on CBS. The show was directed by the just-heard Himan Brown. By 1952 Brown had been involved in radio for decades. The Barrie was inspired by the nickname of William Gargan's oldest son, then twenty-two. The title of the show was soon changed to Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator. Episode three was called “The Judge and The Champ.” In conjunction with NBC's twenty-fifth anniversary, the network launched a series of both Radio and TV offerings highlighting the growth of NBC's technology, talent, infrastructure and advertising success. Block-sharing advertising was in full-effect. The network sold commercial time spots, rather than full shows and called it “Operation Tandem.” Gargan was back on The Big Show the next March 16th, 1952 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Tallulah Bankhead and good friend and fellow Catholic, Fred Allen. Now with transcription wide-spread, Barrie Craig could be heard on different days each week, based on the region. Listeners would also hear different commercials, depending on what local affiliate they were tuning into. These could also be a mix of local and national ad spots. Blocked-sharing was being used by the other networks. ABC touted theirs as 'The Pyramid Plan,' CBS as The Power Plan, and Mutual called their's MBS Plus. In a further refinement of MBS Plus, Mutual introduced an exclusive package of MGM programming for 1952. Both The Adventures of Harry Lime, and The Black Museum aired as part of this deal. For more information, tune into Breaking Walls episode 141. Launched with their tandem plan, NBC provided a "pay as you sell" opportunity for local affiliates. Local sponsors could pick from one-hundred-nineteen one-minute spots. The goal was to accommodate sponsors without a long contract. Craig occupied an office on the third floor of the Mercantile Building on Manhattan's Madison Avenue. Barrie Craig's writers included Frank Kane, Louis Vittes, John Roeburt, and Ernest Kinoy. William Gargan was supported by some of the finest east coast voice talents of the era. This included Santos Ortega, Elspeth Eric, Arlene Blackburn, Barbara Weeks, Joan Alexander, Parker Fennelly, Arnold Moss, Luis Van Rooten, and Herb Ellis. NBC announcers included Don Pardo and Ed King with John Daly as spokesperson for 1952 Pontiac spots and Carl Caruso for Bromo-Seltzer spots.
