"MARK STEVENS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" The name MARK STEVENS probably doesn't ring a bell with moviegoers today. However, he's one of those actors who once you see him on screen, you say, “Oh, yeah, THAT guy!” Still, at one time, he was a very in-demand leading man who was always compelling and had a tough-guy likability that brightened up many a hum-drum movie. He may not have reached the upper echelon of fame like contemporaries ALAN LADD or DANA ANDREWS, but he certainly left his mark — particularly in “The Dark Corner” with a pre-TV LUCILLE BALL. Like CHARLES LAUGHTON, DICK POWELL, and IDA LUPINO, he also became a pioneer of the actor-turned-director. Today, we take a look at his long and varied career and celebrate him as our Star of the Month.

Littérature étrangère de Gorian Delpâture : "Eve et Hollywood" d'Amor Towles (Flammarion). En septembre 1938, dans le train parti de New York qui la ramène chez elle, à Chicago, la jeune Eve Ross décide sur un coup de tête de poursuivre sa route jusqu'à Los Angeles. Là, elle fait la rencontre d'Olivia de Havilland et se met à fréquenter les endroits les plus en vue de Hollywood en sa compagnie. Chargée par la Warner Brothers de chaperonner la célèbre actrice, Eve se retrouve bientôt aux prises avec une mission plus périlleuse qu'il n'y semblait. La jeune provinciale devra alors déjouer les pièges d'un monde d'artifices qui cache bien son jeu sous son vernis glamour. Avec la légèreté, l'humour et l'élégance qui font sa signature, Amor Towles nous entraîne dans les légendaires années trente à Hollywood, aux côtés d'une héroïne aussi énigmatique que raffinée.

This week, we're playing clean-up on the last of the movies rushed into release to capitalize on Saoirse's Oscar nomination with Gillian Armstrong's Death Defying Acts. An almost entirely fictionalized melodrama set in the last weeks of Harry Houdini's life, the film stars Guy Pearce and Catherine Zeta-Jones at the very tail end of the star runs, and Saoirse Ronan as the latter's plucky con artist daughter. We talk the two leads' A-list careers twenty years on, fancast our own Harry Houdini biopics, argue over which de Havilland sister was better, and devote some time to talking about The Pitt. We mostly talk about The Pitt. How good is The Pitt y'all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The decades long feud between Hollywood legends and real life sisters Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland.

This episode was originally released on March 3, 2015. Listen to help prep for the next episode of our new season, The Old Man is Still Alive. She was the raven-haired beauty whose lily-white persona was forged by her supporting roles in Gone With the Wind and several Errol Flynn swashbucklers. He was the real-life swashbuckler, the heroic lover/drinker/fighter whose directorial debut The Maltese Falcon, was an enormous success. They met when Huston directed de Havilland in his second film, In This Our Life, and began an affair which would continue, on and off, through the decade, as he joined the Army and made several controversial documentaries exposing dark aspects of the war experience, and as she waged a war of her own, taking Warner Brothers to court to challenge the indentured servitude of the star contract system. De Havilland's lawsuit went all the way to the California Supreme Court, and had massive implications on the future of labor in Hollywood and beyond.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

En este episodio, exploramos la extraordinaria trayectoria de Errol Flynn, icono de la Edad de Oro de Hollywood cuyo carisma arrebató a millones de espectadores. Encarnó a héroes de capa y espada en cintas legendarias como Capitán Blood o Las aventuras de Robin Hood, mientras su vida personal sembraba tantos titulares como sus películas. A lo largo del programa, se desgranan los pasos de Flynn desde su natal Tasmania hasta su desembarco en la meca del cine, resaltando cómo, en apenas unos años, se convirtió en el paradigma del aventurero romántico. Sin embargo, no solo ahondamos en sus glorias artísticas: el episodio revela las sombras y polémicas que rodearon a Errol Flynn, desde su celebrada relación con Olivia de Havilland hasta los múltiples escándalos de prensa. Se abordan los rumores sobre su posible bisexualidad, la controversia por su juicio de violación, y su fama de vividor que desafió los límites morales de su tiempo y se destancan las contradicciones de un actor que se prodigaba en papeles de héroe intachable mientras sus devaneos extracinematográficos ponían en jaque a los estudios y la censura. La sección dedicada al contexto explica cómo Hollywood, regido por el Código Hays, pretendía cultivar una imagen pulcra de sus estrellas mientras ocultaba sus secretos más turbios. Flynn, con su carácter irreverente, terminó por encarnar la tensión entre la pantalla y la realidad, abriendo un debate sobre la identidad sexual y la hipocresía en la industria. Finalmente, el epílogo contiene una historia de lo más truculenta...

EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium. There have been some great ones — OLIVIA COLEMAN's funny and cheeky speech hit the right tone and who can forget JACK PALANCE's one-arm push-ups or CUBA GOODING's exuberance?

Brandon welcomes Samantha Mason to look at 1942's In This Our Life. Samantha is a history teacher and movie buff who cohosts the Movie Club podcast with former Front Row guest, Hayley Chow. Brandon and Samantha dive into a film that was both current and ahead of its time in many ways. Themes of racial prejudice and possible incest are peppered into John Huston's potboiler.  The movie also features one of Davis' most unsympathetic character portrayals. She is supported by an amazing ensemble cast including Olivia de Havilland, George Brent, Dennis Morgan, Billie Burke, Charles Coburn and Hattie McDaniel.

This week on The Video Store Podcast, we're diving into some adventurous waters with four pirate films you might not have rented yet, but are worth a look. These films span decades, showing how Hollywood has captured the allure of swashbuckling adventures over time. Whether you're a fan of classic Hollywood, musicals, or big-budget ‘90s action, I've picked a lineup that I think captures the spirit of the genre in different ways.Here's what's on this episode:Captain Blood (1935)If you're curious about Errol Flynn's big break, Captain Blood is the film to watch. Directed by Michael Curtiz, who later went on to make Casablanca, this movie was released during the Golden Age of Hollywood and set the standard for pirate films to come. In it, Flynn plays Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician turned reluctant pirate, a role that became iconic for him. Olivia de Havilland co-stars, marking the first of eight films they'd appear in together. The movie was actually adapted from Rafael Sabatini's 1922 novel, and what's interesting is that Flynn wasn't the studio's first choice. Warner Bros. originally wanted Robert Donat, but when he turned it down, they took a chance on Flynn, who was then unknown. The film went on to be a hit, and Flynn's career took off from there.Treasure Island (1950) Disney's first fully live-action film was Treasure Island, adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel. This film captures the heart of the classic pirate tale with Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as the unforgettable Long John Silver. Newton's portrayal of Silver is what many credit with shaping the “pirate accent” we recognize today, especially that exaggerated “Arrr.” For a lot of people, myself included, this is the definitive version of Treasure Island, so it's a must-watch for anyone wanting a straightforward adaptation of the classic tale.The Pirate Movie (1982)The Pirate Movie is very different from the last two films. It is more of a campy, musical rom-com take on The Pirates of Penzance. If you're looking for a quirky, offbeat experience, this film, starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins, is definitely that. Though critics weren't fond of it when it was released, it's gained a bit of a cult following since then. One interesting thing about this movie is that it openly riffs on the Gilbert and Sullivan opera it's based on, adding a lot of modern (for the time) references. It's worth a watch if you're into musicals and don't mind a less traditional approach to a pirate story.Cutthroat Island (1995)Last up is Cutthroat Island, an ambitious, big-budget adventure directed by Renny Harlin and starring Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. Known mostly for being a notorious box office bomb, it has gained some appreciation over the years for its impressive stunt work, practical effects, and for putting a female pirate in the lead. Davis plays Morgan Adams, a captain on a quest to find hidden treasure. While the film's financial failure might have overshadowed its merits at the time, there's a lot to admire. It's also one of the last pirate movies before Pirates of the Caribbean would revive the genre nearly a decade later. If you're ready for a bit of pirate escapism, these four movies offer different takes on the genre, from classic Hollywood adventure to musical satire to large-scale nineties action. Listen to the show to hear a little more about each film and why they're worth watching, and maybe even renting, this week. This is a public episode.

You Might Know Her From Palm Royale; Designing Women; Newhart; Looking; Baby Talk; The Mommie; Intolerable Cruelty; and Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker. We got to chat with Julia about her incredible arc as Mary Meredith Davidsoul on Apple TV's starry Palm Royale. That finale twist, huh? She also gave us the scoop on playing Patrick's mom on Looking (and the importance of playing mom to a queer person), her iconic run on Newhart (7 Emmy nominations!), and her ‘90s run as “Julia Duffy, sitcom saver” including joining the powerhouse female ensemble of Designing Women. We also got to chat about Julia's book Bad Auditions, who was in those rooms with her, and what it was like playing a high school student at 30.

At the end of the show a question from Neil. Recommendations: Stuart The Richard Burton Diaries - Book Chris Williams (editor), Richard Burton (author) Irresistibly magnetic on stage, mesmerizing in movies, seven times an Academy Award nominee, Richard Burton rose from humble beginnings in Wales to become Hollywood's most highly paid actor and one of England's most admired Shakespearean performers. His epic romance with Elizabeth Taylor, his legendary drinking and story-telling, his dazzling purchases (enormous diamonds, a jet, homes on several continents), and his enormous talent kept him constantly in the public eye. Yet the man behind the celebrity façade carried a surprising burden of insecurity and struggled with the peculiar challenges of a life lived largely in the spotlight. This volume publishes Burton's extensive personal diaries in their entirety for the first time. His writings encompass many years—from 1939, when he was still a teenager, to 1983, the year before his death—and they reveal him in his most private moments, pondering his triumphs and demons, his loves and his heartbreaks. The diary entries appear in their original sequence, with annotations to clarify people, places, books, and events Burton mentions. From these hand-written pages emerges a multi-dimensional man, no mere flashy celebrity. While Burton touched shoulders with shining lights—among them Olivia de Havilland, John Gielgud, Claire Bloom, Laurence Olivier, John Huston, Dylan Thomas, and Edward Albee—he also played the real-life roles of supportive family man, father, husband, and highly intelligent observer. His diaries offer a rare and fresh perspective on his own life and career, and on the glamorous decades of the mid-twentieth century. Eamonn Less: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer, Better Things Can Make Us Happier - Book Patrick Grant We used to care a lot about our clothes. We didn't have many but those we had were important to us. We'd cherish them, repair them and pass them on. And making them provided fulfilling work for millions of skilled people locally. Today the average person has nearly five times as many clothes as they did just 50 years ago. Last year, 100 billion garments were produced worldwide, most made from oil, 30% of which were not even sold, and the equivalent of one bin lorry full of clothing is dumped in landfill or burned every single second. Our wardrobes are full to bursting with clothes we never wear so why do we keep buying more? In this passionate and revealing book about loving clothes but despairing of a broken global system Patrick Grant considers the crisis of consumption and quality in fashion, and how we might make ourselves happier by rediscovering the joy of living with fewer, better-quality things. David Watch Koudelka: Shooting Holy Land - Documentary Josef Koudelka Josef Koudelka is a fiercely independent artist. Branded an exile, stateless for many years after the end of the Prague Spring, photography is for him a powerful act that shows both humanity and its unsettling strangeness. His images are imbued with bohemian freedom and a dull, inhospitable promise. So when he was asked to go and photograph in Israel, the fear of being politically exploited, the fact of having to accept his designated young guide (to control him? he wondered)... mistrust almost won out. It was overcome by a mixture of rejection of "the wall" and attraction for this symbolic land. He simply insisted on paying for his own plane ticket, so as not to owe anything to anyone. What happened next, between him and his young guide Gilad Baram, is a truly romantic story. A friendship was born between the old photographer and the young filmmaker. Gilad Baram had the intelligence to turn these moments into a magnificent film, adopting the right distance and documenting the work of this demanding photographer.

In 1945 confidence in British aviation was sky-high. Yet decades later, the industry had not lived up to its potential. What happened? The years that followed the war saw the Brabazon Committee issued flawed proposals for civil aviation planning. Enforced cancellations restricted the advancement of military aircraft, compounded later on by Defence Minister Duncan Sandys abandoning aircraft to fixate solely on missiles. Commercially, Britain's small and neglected domestic market hindered the development of civilian airliners. In the production of notorious aircraft, the inauspicious Comet came from de Havilland's attempts to gain an edge over its American competitors. The iconic Harrier jump jet and an indigenous crop of helicopters were squandered, while unrealistic performance requirements brought about the cancellation of TSR2. Peter Reese explores how repeated financial crises, a lack of rigour and fatal self-satisfaction led British aviation to miss vital opportunities across this turbulent period in Britain's skies. Peter Reese wrote this lecture for the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust in 2023.

EPISODE 32 - “The Mary Astor Purple Diary Scandal” - 04/22/2024 One of the most scandalous trials in early Hollywood history involved actress MARY ASTOR, who had made a name for herself playing virginal ingenues and good girls. Mary, who had kept a diary for most of her life, found her words used as a sensationalized weapon against her in her quest to regain custody of her 4-year-old child in 1936 after her acrimonious divorce from her doctor husband. The trial made worldwide headlines. Her sexy, salacious diary entries showed the world a more sensual side to our virginal Mary, and, in many ways, helped propel her career into the stratosphere.
