Welcome to our inaugural Gloria Grahame episode, which is also our final Acteurist Oeuvre-view! In this episode we consider Gloria's first significant movie role, as the cause of Blonde Fever (1944), in which she and Philip Dorn confuse each other and provide occasion for Mary Astor's multiple levels of irony. We then turn to Gloria's breakthrough role in one of our very favourite movies, It's a Wonderful Life (1946), examining it through the lens of Gloria's iconic character, Violet Bick. We consider Violet's thematic link to George at a crucial moment, Capra's invention of a "wholesome small-town siren" trope that's essential to David Lynch's universe, and the qualities that enable Gloria Grahame to embody this concept.

There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. For Episode 3, Mandy is joined by Zev Burrows for some quality time In a Lonely Place (1950) with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. Tune in to find out what it has in common with The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, why more movies should be made in the middle of their stars' messy divorces, and what Zev was thinking when he decided, like a weirdo, that it might be fun to watch a good movie for the podcast.

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.

AP Mike from THE BEST SHOW joins us once again for our #Noirvember episode and he's bringing Humphrey Bogart with him. Mike has chosen two wildly different takes on the Bogart persona from two of Hollywood greatest directors. First, it's the classic mystery that made Bogie a star with THE MALTESE FALCON from first-time director John Huston in 1941. Bogart is San Francisco private dick Sam Spade in this veritable blueprint for all the detective noir that followed it. Bogie is backed by an amazing cast with Mary Astor as femme fatale Brigid O'Shaughnessy; Petter Lorre as Joel Cairo; Sydney Greenstreet making his film debut at 62 years old as Kaspar Guttman; and Elisha Cook, Jr. playing shifty thug Wilmer Cook. All of these characters are on an existential quest the big, black bird--the stuff that dreams are made of--and several of them will do anything to get it. Then, Bogart goes grim dark in Nicholas Ray's IN A LONELY PLACE (1950). Bogie plays Dixon "Dix" Steele, a hasbeen Hollywood script writer with severe anger management issues. Dix is dragged in for questioning after Mildred, the hat-check girl he took back to his apartment, turns up murdered, and Bogie's wise-cracking ways take on an air of extreme menace as he jokes his way through the police interrogation. His neighbor, Laurel Gray played by Noir princess Gloria Grahame, falls for him despite the allegations because she saw that he didn't leave with the victim. But as Dix grows more violent and domineering, she, and the audience, start to question all that we've seen. Mike details the differences between the movie and the novel that it's based on. Eddie Muller's favorite film of all time. In our opening segment, we attempt to sort out the wreckage of our society, and our world, post-election before the conversation devolves into more recent movie recommendations. Cory really wants everyone to see CONCLAVE, while Bob says to get really high and watch HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS on Fandor or tubi. Meanwhile, Philena is plotting her escape to Ireland. With Robert Eggers' remake of NOSFERATU hitting theaters next month,OMFYS will be back next month for NOSFERATU CHRISTMAS. Movie critic Matt Zoller Seitz of MZS.press will join us to pair weed with FW Murray's original expressionist vampire epic from 1922 and Werner Herzog's 1979 remake with Klaus Kinski.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** The 1950s was a real transitional decade for classic films. As we got further away from WW2, and the Cold War began to rise up prominently, there was a cynicism across the land that influenced the content of many Hollywood movies. Films took on a grittier, more realistic feel, and the subject matters were darker and more controversial. It was the decade that sparked masterpieces like “Sunset Boulevard,” “All About Eve,” “From Here To Eternity,” “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof,” “A Streetcar Named Desire,” “Anatomy of a Murder,” “ Strangers on a Train,” “Shane,” and “High Noon.” Listen as Steve and Nan talk about some special 1950s films that inspire them.

Dixon, un guionista amargado, bebe ginebra con soda y no suele ver las películas que escribe. Irascible, al borde del precipicio, sus ojos demacrados se reflejan en el retrovisor, ya en la primera escena quiere partirle la cara a un tipo al volante, es su carta de presentación en este noir esplendido realizado por Nicholas Ray. Destila magia a borbotones la atracción entre dos almas vecinas de soledad, Humphrey Bogart y Gloria Grahame. El guionista tiene una invitada que su vecina mira de reojo, en pocas horas será sospechoso de su asesinato. Dixon -Bogart- no aprecia en absoluto la novelucha que relata la pobre chica del guardarropa que morirá después, se la cuenta en su apartamento porque así le ahorra tener que leerla. En el film real a Nicholas Ray tampoco le convencía la obra original de Dorothy Hugues, en la que Dixon si era un asesino, en lugar de un tipo violento y bebedor que no sabe controlarse, y contó con Andrew Solt para adaptarla. Otro paralelismo entre la ficción y la realidad estriba en que Ray y Gloria Graham eran pareja y estaban al borde de la ruptura, y por supuesto las semejanzas del protagonista con el propio Bogart. El caso sin resolver de la chica asesinada sirve como pretexto para el interés real del film, la atracción entre Laurel y Dixon. Quizá el último refugio del lobo, esa mujer de ojos somnolientos que ríe mientras sueña y sufre en la vigilia, que le mira desde la ventana contigua y es capaz de decir en una comisaría con policías por medio que el sospechoso le parece un hombre atractivo. "Nací cuando ella me besó, morí el día que me abandonó, y viví el tiempo que me amó", la frase que ha escrito Dix y no sabe donde colocar, le pide su opinión a Laurel y ella le sugiere que la utilice de nota de despedida. En un lugar solitario es uno de los grandes films de cine negro sobre un romance y sobre el propio cine, a la altura de otros dos tan buenos como El crepúsculo de los dioses -Wilder- o Barton Fink de los Coen, más descarnado y cínico si cabe, no podía ser de otra forma siendo obra del director de “Los amantes de la noche” o “La casa en la sombra”, o “Más poderoso que la vida”. Esta noche intentamos no sospechar del guionista… Salvador Limón, Raul Gallego y Zacarías Cotán

Welcome back folks! In this episode, we discuss the classic noir, The Big Heat, whilst incorporating our new AI friend, talking about the evil madness of a particular UK DIY company, and our classic banter in between! The Big Heat is a 1953 American film noir crime film directed by Fritz Lang starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame, and Jocelyn Brando[3] about a cop who takes on the crime syndicate that controls his city. William P. McGivern's serial in The Saturday Evening Post, published as a novel in 1953, was the basis for the screenplay, written by former crime reporter Sydney Boehm. The film was selected for inclusion in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2011. Directed by Fritz Lang Screenplay by Sydney Boehm Based on the Saturday Evening Post serial and 1953 novel by William P. McGivern Produced by Robert Arthur Starring Glenn FordGloria GrahameJocelyn Brando[1] Cinematography Charles Lang Edited by Charles Nelson
Episode 103: The Big Heat, with Ruekeller Helles, provided by Placentia's The Bruery. This is one tight, vicious little picture about a good cop pushed to the edge when gangsters blow up his life. Big thanks to The Bruery for giving me their Helles, a light, full flavored beer that pairs great with this intense, fantastic picture starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin.
Por una sencilla razón esta semana Juan Luis Álvarez titula el capítulo del podcast así: Enseriate como puedas porque para ver estas series que son historia de la televisión hay que buscarse la vida porque no están en ninguna plataforma. Ahora, cuando las encuentres, lo vas a gozar. Hombre rico, hombre pobre (12 capítulos, 1976) Fue una exitosa miniserie de televisión de los años 70. Basada en la novela homónima de Irwin Shaw. Los actores del reparto eran Peter Strauss, Nick Nolte y Susan Blakely rodeados de viejas glorias como Dorothy McGuire, Ray Milland, Dorothy Malone y Gloria Grahame. Narra la vida de la familia Jordache, desde 1945 hasta 1968. Los hermanos Rudy y Tom son hijos de un amargado inmigrante alemán, dueño de una panadería en los suburbios de Nueva York. Rudolph, inteligente y ambicioso, creció influenciado por alcanzar el sueño americano y triunfar. Acabará convirtiéndose primero en alcalde y después en senador. Thomas, por el contrario, es pendenciero e inquieto. Será boxeador, y se verá implicado en el crimen organizado. Raíces ( 1 temporada, 1977) La serie que paralizó un país: En el siglo XVIII, cuando el nativo africano Kunta Kinte de 15 años de edad, intenta encontrar un tronco fuera de su aldea para hacerle un tambor a su pequeño hermano, es capturado por traficantes de esclavos y junto con otros 140 hombres y mujeres, es llevado a bordo de una nave negrera. Vendido como tal para un cruel plantador, queda al cuidado de El violinista un veterano de su propiedad (el recientemente fallecido ganador del Oscar Louis Gossett Jr.) a quien le encarga enseñarle al ahora llamado Toby como ser un esclavo obediente, pero éste se revela como un luchador por la supervivencia y la libertad. Dallas (14 temporadas, 400 episodios, 1978-1991) Narra la historia de la guerra familiar entre los riquísimos Ewing y los menos afortunados Barnes, que se odian desde hace décadas, pero deben aceptar que sus hijos unan a las familias al enamorarse y casarse, al más puro estilo “Romeo y Julieta”. Serial legendario, culebrón de lujo, dignifico el trabajo de los actores de televisión obligando a que cobraran lo mismo que los del cine. Inolvidable el pérfido JR interpretado por Larry Hagman.

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! A bold, in-your-face, bleak and hugely significant inclusion into the late Film Noir cycle on this week's main show as Morgan and Jeannine discuss the charisma of grey characters, heists gone wrong, how Gloria Grahame is able to totally steal any movie, and racial tension in Robert Wise's ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW (1959) starring Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan, Shelley Winters, Ed Begely & Gloria Grahame! Mixing traditional Noir elements with a charming brash directness that would dominate independent US movies in the 60s, this movie is the only time you'll see a Black leading man in the classic Noir cycle, and is perhaps Belafonte's greatest role!

On the tenth episode of All the Film Things I am joined by my good friends, Cole Echevarria and Joshua Smith, to celebrate the holiday season by talking about Frank Capra's 1946 Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life. This episode is spoiler- filled. Not only is this episode on a Christmas- focused film, this episode has a very Christmas-y feel. The holiday season is a time where friends and family come together. In enjoying each other's company, family and friends share meaningful moments, deep conversations, and maybe a dispute or two. This episode has all of that. The three of us analyze the film while discussing the deep themes... with some minor arguments throughout. It's a Wonderful Life is a fantasy, comedy film in which James Stewart plays the main character, George Bailey, a man with aspirations of seeing the world outside his hometown building skyscrapers and becoming wealthy. His big dreams are continuously put aside to allow him to help others which often, by extension, positively impacts the entire community of his hometown, Bedford Falls. His impact on so many people isn't realized until towards the end of the film, thanks to his guardian angel. It's a Wonderful Life was surprisingly not a success at the time of its release but has over time it has become regarded as one of the most widely celebrated Christmas films of all time. The film also stars Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Travers, and Gloria Grahame. Cole is back for his third appearance on this wide release of All the Film Things, making this his 14th appearance in total. This is Joshua's fifth time on ATFT. Joshua was the one to suggest we talk about this film, since it's his favorite. I then asked Cole which he preferred of the two options (this film or Home Alone) and he agreed with Joshua. This was my first time watching It's a Wonderful Life in its entirety. Joshua has been watching this film since he was a kid while Cole had only seen it twice. They both regard It's a Wonderful Life as their favorite Christmas film. This episode was recorded on December 8, 2023. In this episode, between the banter, we go through the film beginning to end discussing the admirable qualities of George Bailey, trying to better understand certain moments, and much more! Cole shares his personal connections to the film and why the film resonates with him deeply. I made a film comparison that is teased by both Cole and Joshua throughout this episode.

Happy Thanksgiving from Front Row Classics. We're celebrating Noirvember with the Czar of Noir himself, Eddie Muller. Eddie has penned a new children's book, "Kid Noir: Kitty Feral and the Case of the Marshmallow Monkey". The book is a charming introduction to the world of classics film for younger kids. Brandon and Eddie discuss the inspiration behind the book and importance of introducing classic film to the next generation. The conversation, then, turns to Eddie's favorite film, Nicholas Ray's "In a Lonely Place". The film features what may be Humphrey Bogart's most personal performance and a career-defining portrayal from Gloria Grahame. Eddie also makes a case for why 1950 just may be the greatest year in film. "Kid Noir: Kitty Feral and the Case of the Marshmallow Monkey" is available wherever books are sold from Running Press Kids and Turner Classic Movies. Eddie Muller, an authority on film noir, is the author of Dark City Dames as well as two mystery novels. He lives in the San Francisco area. Jessica Schmidt is a writer and film noir-enthusiast living in Philadelphia with her husband Nathan and very own crime-fighting canine, Loki. Forrest Burdett is an illustrator from New Jersey with a passion for vibrant colors and fairytales. His days are filled with drawings of faraway places and fantastical adventures. He studied illustration at FIT in Manhattan and now lives in Portland, Oregon.
This week, we cover Nicholas Ray's noir masterpiece, "In a Lonely Place." We discuss the production of the film with the recently separated Ray & Gloria Grahame, and Bogey's production company. We also discuss the themes and plot of the film. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a couple of fantastic double bills!Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on twitter @DoubleBillChil1 https://twitter.com/DoubleBillChil1Letterboxd: FartsDomino44
This week on Remainders we watch The Big Heat. A gripping 1953 film noir directed by Fritz Lang, The Big Heat follows determined detective Dave Bannion (Glenn Ford) as he exposes corruption within his own department after a fellow officer's death. Gloria Grahame is essential as one of Darren's all-time picks for noir femme fatales. With intense performances, dark atmosphere, and themes of corruption and justice, it's a stellar noir standout. Other topics include William Friedkin and Peter Jackson commentaries, physical media corner, hangout movies, the new Hives album, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game and Matthew McConaughey's rise the Texas Chainsaw franchise, and hoping for an equally cinematic gaming experience with the upcoming Killer Klowns from Outer Space video game.Songs of the WeekBloodRedMoon by Ha Ha TonkaSing Me Back Home by The Flying Burrito BrothersRemainders Podcast JukeboxWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter
Ahead of this season's Nyad, we are looking back at the Oscar history of Annette Bening and 2017's Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool. One year after missing out on a nomination for 20th Century Women, Bening returned with this film, starring as actress Gloria Grahame . Told from the perspective of actor Peter Turner … Continue reading "252 – Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool"
On January 6th, 1949 Lauren Bacall gave birth to their first child, Stephen Humphrey Bogart, named in honor of his character in To Have and Have Not. Meanwhile Bogart made Knock on Any Door and Tokyo Joe for his Santana Productions company. Both were moderately panned by critics. In 1950 he made Chain Lightning for Warner Brothers and In A Lonely Place for Santana. In A Lonely Place sees Bogart star as Dixon Steele, a troubled, violence-prone screenwriter suspected of murder. Gloria Grahame co-stars as Laurel Gray, his neighbor who soon falls for Dix. The film is considered among Bogart's best and perhaps a character with personality traits most like the real man. It was among a trio of films released that year, along with Sunset Boulevard and All About Eve, which comment on the dark side of Hollywood. Simultaneously, Bogart and Bacall looked for a vehicle on radio for their talents. Santana Productions partnered with the Frederic W. Ziv Company to develop a series called Bold Venture. It would be written by Morton Fine and David Friedkin, who famously wrote for Broadway is My Beat and Crime Classics. Bogart had long interest in starring in his own series, but had resisted due to the constraints of live radio. By 1950, due to widespread transcription, that was no longer an issue. He could do the show in takes and have music and sound effects added later. Three or four shows a week could be done, leaving Bogart and Bacall free for the rest of the year. Bogart plays Slate Shannon, hotel owner and owner of a boat called the "Bold Venture." Bacall, plays Sailor Duval, and Jester Hairson plays calypso singer King Moses. Shannon, based out of Havana, is always ready to rescue a friend in need or hunt down an enemy. Seventy-eight thirty minute shows were produced. The first show aired on March 26th, 1951. The Ziv Company distributed the series, putting up twelve-thousand dollars per episode. Bogart and Bacall were each paid four-thousand-dollars per show. Four-hundred twenty-three stations bought the series, paying weekly fees to Ziv ranging from fifteen dollars for small stations to seven-hundred-fifty dollars for big ones. Newsweek noted that although the series was set in Havana, it could just have easily been in Casablanca. While the series was first airing, the Bogarts were in Africa. Humphrey was set to star opposite Kathryn Hepburn in The African Queen.

Front Row Classics is thrilled to welcome back author & historian, Jeremy Arnold. Jeremy and Brandon discuss the art of preparing audio commentaries for blu-ray releases of classic films. They also take time to highlight two films in which Jeremy has provided commentary. The first film discussed is Sudden Fear from 1952 starring Joan Crawford, Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame. The conversation, then, turns to The Lavendar Hill Mob (1951) starring Alec Guiness and Stanley Holloway. We hope this episode will inspire our listeners to discover these two lesser known gems.
It's double trouble as Karl and Søren tackle two film adaptations of books from the boys' mystery cycle: Carl Franklin's 1995 neo-noir version of Devil in a Blue Dress, starring Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Beals; and Nicholas Ray's 1950 version of In a Lonely Place, with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. After discussing how widely Ray's film departs from Dorothy B. Hughes' novel, they talk about various technical aspects: Franklin's love of tracking shots, Devil's musical juxtaposition, Don Cheadle's charisma, and whether Bogey is a good actor or merely a good movie star (scandal!).

The DBG: It’s a concept built from an idea! This concept is from July 23, 1993 and I have titled it: “A Clear Case of Pun Poisoning.” This one is unashamedly bad in the best of ways, though Norm clearly feels otherwise and believes he’ll likely be out of a job. Norm had to scrape the birthday offerings to put this one together. Weirdly, only three people were playing… Helen from Boston who sounded like Norma from Boston but really was Helen from Boston I’m producing and playing in studio And the Mr. Jack Harte in Traffic Bdays: Olivia de Havilland (de haven) – Norm had, at one time, a torrid affair with her. The question is posed if she played the character Violet Bick in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life?’ I’ll tell you now that the answer is no. Young Violet was played by Jeanine Ann Roose whilst Gloria Grahame played the twenty-something Violet. There are many digressions during this one: Sexy ladies from Swampscott. Frolicking in the sand on King’s Beach. The Westinghouse Hitmen. Norm’s brother in-law’s lack of creative humor. And “rating a ‘chippy.’” Sam Watters from Oklahoma City, not to be confused with the Sam Watters from Methuen whose birthday is a week from next Thursday. Sam was in a group called Color Me Badd and Norm gives us a rendition of their hit, “I Wanna Sex You Up” which is not to be missed. We are awash in puns during this. Spencer “Don’t Call me Mr.” Christian – A weatherman from GMA David Essex – born David Cook in England and born Sidney Lefkowich in Methuen – sang Rock On. Also starred in some odd ball movies. Actually, the most underrated trilogy of medical films in movie history: “Odd Balls of 1973.” “Hold On, Let Me Cough” (in some countries it was known as “Excuse me while I Cough”) “We Have an Ointment for That” Norm wishes he was back on WMEX doing “It’s Curtain Time w/John Kiley on the Organ and the vocal stylings of Theo Carrero.” It had a swelling organ. Wait a minute…is that another medical film? Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy Don Drysdale – we believe he just died a couple of weeks ago. So, let’s guess how old he would have been today if… Pee Wee Reese – he was a ‘short’ short stop. We explore how his name also worked during other conversations. Woody Harrelson – I’m was not a fan back then, but I am now. Other Stuff: One of my deepest, darkest secrets is revealed. Norm sings and Helen wishes. We learn of a costly medical procedure that Helen could choose to undergo. “Schwoegler & Kent” – cigarette brand or clothing store? We get some words of wisdom: “If it’s unfair for all then that makes it fair.” Chicken brothel? Burlesque and Vaudeville make a comeback on this show. We get a couple of punchlines, “…but who’s smoking?” and "Excuse me lady but I think your sign fell down.” I coax Norm into telling us the set ups. Norm was worried he had an image to uphold. Needless to say, he didn’t have to worry. Helen thinks this show is getting worse. SO many puns that Norm questions all his life’s choices. Susquehanna Hats “…the Queen’s box.” I feel duped by my comrade. Norm had such high hopes when he was hosting su
The lads get born when they're kissed by director Nicholas Ray's 1950 masterpiece In a Lonely Place, based on the novel by Dorothy B. Hughes. They died when Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame left the screen. They lived a few weeks to tell you how much they love this film. Come join us in Hollywood for a sure thing!

"Gee, so much is happening to me today." It Happened In Brooklyn (1947) directed by Richard Whorf and starring Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, Peter Lawford, Gloria Grahame and Jimmy Durante. Next Time: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)
Dan nominated the brutal and violent 1953 Fritz Lang film noir THE BIG HEAT starring Glenn Ford for us to watch and I'll admit to being slightly less than enthusiastic when he did. How wrong I was. When Police Chief Tom Duncan dies by suicide, hardboiled Sergeant Bannion finds himself waging a one-man war with gangsters Mike Lagana (Alexander Scourby) and Vince Stone (Lee Marvin) as well as the corrupt political establishment in this searing pulpy revenge thriller.As better reviewers than us have noted, including Roger Ebert who loved this movie, Bannion's almost pathologicial pursuit of justice comes at a high cost, borne principally by the female characters: Bertha Duncan (Jeanette Nolan), the manipulative Police Chief's widow who is shot and killed, Lucy Chapman the unlucky potential witness, beaten, tortured and killed, Bannion's wife Katie (Jocelyn Brando) fated to be in the wrong place at the wrong time (and killed) and the superb Gloria Grahame as the disfigured femme fatale Debby (who is killed). Subversive even by todays standards with a scorching script, sharp dialogue and moody visuals, this is one to check out and recommended even to those who would normally avoid this kind of thing.
"I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me." The film noir series continues this week with 1950's IN A LONELY PLACE. Our classic film genius Rance Collins is back once again to help us break down the film, which stars Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame.

The film tells the story of a washed up screenwriter who gets mixed up in a murder investigation, and it's a surprisingly dark role for Bogart. Watch the film now on Amazon Prime if you haven't seen it.

Book Vs. Movie “Musicals in March” The 1931 Play Green Grow the Lilacs Vs the 1955 Musical Oklahoma!It's “Musicals in March” time here at Book Vs Movie The Margos are very excited to start our annual look at famous musicals and the inspiration for them. This episode is dedicated to one of the most successful Broadway shows of all time and the play Green Grow the Lilacs (1931) written by Oklahoma native Lynn Riggs. Riggs came up with the story of Oklahomans Curly, Laurey, and Ado Annie who live in a part of the world that will change dramatically in just a few short years. (Oklahoma became a state in 1907.) Curly is a cowboy (portrayed on Broadway by Franchot Tone) who is in love with Laurey Williams (June Walker) and the path to their relationship takes twists and turns. In this production, which takes place in 1900, American folk songs are used and sung by Tex Ritter on stage. Soon-to-be revered acting teacher Lee Strasberg played a Syrian “peddler” and just as in the musical, Curley is on trial for accidentally killing a farmhand (here his name is Jeeter.) In the early 1940s, Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein took the original play and infused it with more romance, intrigue, dance, ballet, and some of the most memorable songs in Broadway history. When Oklahoma! originally opened on Broadway (March 31, 1943), it became a massive hit that ran for over 2200 performances and won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1944. Some of the actors who played in the original show include John Raitt, Florence Henderson, Alfred Molina, Celeste Holmes, and Jamie Farr. The story is funnier and more robust than the play and the history-making ballet sequence left people breathless. The 15-minuter performance was choreographed by Agnes de Mille (her first Broadway gig!) and represented the desire Laurey has between Curley and Jud Fry. After running for five years and several revivals for the last 80 years, the funny thing about Oklahoma!--because the TONY Awards did not exist until 1947, it never won any major theatrical awards for the original run. The 1955 film stars Shirley Jones, Gordon McRae, Rod Steiger, and Gloria Grahame and was directed by Fred Zinnemann in 70-mm widescreen (available on Disney+) with most of the outdoor shooting taking place in Arizona. It would go on to become a classic with several Academy Award nominations and was inducted into the National Film Registry in 2007. So, between the original play and the musical adaptation--which did we prefer? In this ep the Margos discuss:The story behind the original play and the theater world of the 1930s The impact on the culture of the musical in the 1940sThe differences between the film and stageStarring: Gordon MacRae (Curly McLain,) Shirley Jones (Laurey Willaims,) Gene Nelson (Will Parker,) Gloria Grahame (Ado Anni Cames,) Charlotte Greenwood (Aunt Eller,) Rod Steiger (Jud Fry,) Eddie Albert (Ali Hakim,) James Whitmore (Andrew Carnes,) and Barbara Lawrence as Gertie Cummings.

I'm kicking off a month of Spooky Nuances with the 1950 film noir classic “In a Lonely Place,” a tense and twisted vehicle for superstars Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame that also features a face journey by actress Jeff Donnell as the suspicious Sylvia, the amazing Hadda Brooks as a lounge singer who gets a Moment, and Martha the no nonsense masseuse. We wrap things up with an unmissable interview Donnell did with Skip E Lowe that features my new favorite Barbara. Skip E. Lowe interview: https://youtu.be/Wn8f7tVUrVQ Get in touch with me!

Book Vs. Movie: In a Lonely Place The 1947 Novel Vs the 1950 Humphrey Bogart The Margos go back to Bogie and film noir with In a Lonely Place which was written by Dorothy B. Hughes in 1947 which tells the story of a homicidal maniac on the loose in post-War II Los Angeles. Dix Steele was an airman who prowls around LA and its environs in search of the perfect woman to strangle to death. In the novel, the story is told from his point of view and his hatred of women and fear of getting caught by his LA detective pal Brub Nocholi and his suspicious wife Sylvia. The story is scary and gripping but in 1950, the Hays code still had a grip on Hollywood and a screenplay filled with murder would shock its audience too much. Nicholas Ray directed the 1950 film that stars Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame and over the years has become a film many experts praise for being ahead of its time. Though Bogart is not a killer he has been known to be violent. Dix is a screenwriter and Graham plays Laurel Gray, an actress looking for a good script. The story is twisty and weird which makes for a unique film experience. So, between the novel and the movie--which did we prefer?
