Podcast appearances and mentions of Hal B Wallis

“But where is Becket's honour?”Before cameras could roll on Becket, the film's producers had to secure the screen rights to Jean Anouilh's original French play. Anouilh was initially hesitant to sell the rights, but the persistence of producer Hal B. Wallis convinced him to sign on. With the acclaimed playwright on board, the next task was finding a director who could bring the theatrical story to life on the big screen. The producers eventually landed on Peter Glenville, an experienced theater director who had recently made the jump to film. With Glenville set to direct, Wallis turned his attention to casting the two crucial lead roles. Several big names were considered, but it ultimately came down to Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole. The two actors had never worked together before, but their chemistry and talent made them the perfect choices to embody this complex medieval tale of friendship and betrayal. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off the 1965 BAFTAs Best Film From Any Source Nominees series with a conversation about Glenville's 1964 film Becket.Here's a hint at what we talk about:We dive deep into the fascinating central relationship between King Henry II and Thomas Becket. Their intimate friendship takes surprising twists and turns, and we examine how Burton and O'Toole bring nuance, humor, and gravitas to their performances. We also discuss how Becket grapples with weighty themes like loyalty, honor, and the separation of church and state. Though we take issue with some historical inaccuracies, we find the film an engrossing character study bolstered by its two talented leads.Here are a few other points in our discussion: Appreciating Becket's unexpected comedic tone and banter The riveting confrontations between Henry and Becket Questioning the importance of the Saxon/Norman divide Assessing Peter Glenville's brisk direction and Anne V. Coates' editing Burton and O'Toole's captivating performances Becket gives a revealing look at how friendship, politics, and religion collide for two powerful men.

In this weeks episode we talk weird measurements and the classic film noir Dark City! Dark City is a 1950 American film noir crime film starring Charlton Heston in his Hollywood debut, and featuring Lizabeth Scott, Viveca Lindfors, Dean Jagger, Don DeFore, Ed Begley, Jack Webb and Harry Morgan. It was produced by Hal B. Wallis and directed by William Dieterle. This was Heston's first appearance in a professional film production, following his participation in David Bradley's amateur Peer Gynt (1941) and semi-professional Julius Caesar (1950). In later interviews, he would refer to Dark City as "definitely not an 'A' picture, but a pretty good 'B'." Webb and Morgan would go on to famously co-star in the popular police drama television series Dragnet. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/speakeasy-noircast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/speakeasy-noircast/support

No episódio 74, Alexandre, Fred e o jornalista e blogueiro Rafael Amaral (Blog Palavras de Cinema) estão presos no Marrocos Francês e precisam de salvos-condutos para embarcar pra Lisboa e voltar ao Brasil. Enquanto esperam e esperam, se encontram no Rick’s Cafè para discutir um dos mais memoráveis clássicos do cinema americano, o romance “Casablanca” (1942), longa produzido pela Warner Brothers durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e até hoje considerado um dos maiores filmes já realizados. Fundamental para estabelecer os atores Humphrey Bogart e Ingrid Bergman como estrelas de Hollywood, o longa foi dirigido por Michael Curtiz e produzido por Hal B. Wallis, que exerceu importante papel em manter de pé uma produção que começou sem nem mesmo ter um roteiro pronto. O resultado, um tanto inesperado, foi um clássico vencedor de importantes estatuetas no Oscar e um filme para ser apreciado por gerações futuras de cinéfilos.

Elvis Presley at his most Elvis-like-ness! In one of his few films not overseen by Hal B. Wallis, Elvis shines as the young ex-con/laborer who finds his singing talent while in the hoosegow, assisted by another singing con, played by the great Mickey Shaughnessy. Judy Tyler, whose life ended much too soon, plays The King’s love interest and her sudden death shortly after the completion of this film kept Elvis from watching it for many years.
