EPISODE 111 -  “CELEBRATING DIANE KEATON: THE HIDDEN GEMS OF A HOLLYWOOD ORIGINAL” - 10/27/25 When DIANE KEATON passed away on October 11, 2025, she left behind an incredible legacy of important films and stunning performances that were some of the best of the era. Her youthful effervescence, her fashion style, everything about her belied mortality.  Most people think of her masterful, Oscar-winning performance in Annie Hall, (1977) but her career is so much more than that one role. Over the past five decades, her filmography is a study in contrasts: farce, heart wrenching dramas, rom-coms with a twist — she's taken risks, playing complicated women (even in the lighter faire), and made some really interesting choices. In this episode, we're going to take a look at some of the films Diane Keaton made that don't always get the spotlight they deserve. Watching these films, whether for the first time or a revisit, you realize just how bold and varied her work was. Whether in a quiet drama focusing on an intimate character study, a quirky comedy, or something completely unexpected, Diane Keaton always brought a mix of honesty, humor, and heart that was entirely her own.  So, today we honor the life and legacy of the multifaceted Diane Keaton.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de Cómicas y de cine clásico. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: "Cómicas" en el Teatro de la Zarzuela Mujeres de teatro en la España del siglo XVIII. Nos vamos al Teatro de la Zarzuela donde, sólo este fin de semana, está en cartel una propuesta muy especial: "Cómicas". Ayer 8, hoy, sábado y domingo, 9, 10 y 11 de mayo. Se trata de una nueva producción propia del templo del género chico por excelencia (ubicado en la c/ Jovellanos, 4). Esta propuesta teatral y musical, a modo de tonadilla escénica, recupera el legado de mujeres españolas que tuvieron un papel ciertamente destacado y reconocido durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en los escenarios de nuestro país. La obra está protagonizada por las voces de las solistas Jone Martínez, María Hinojosa y Pilar Alva y por la narración de la actriz Cristina Medina, acompañadas por el conjunto Forma Antiqva, aclamada agrupación de música antigua que engloba oboes, trompas, violines, violonchelos, contrabajo, guitarra barroca, tiorba y clave. Entrevistamos al clavecista Aarón Zapico, que es quien tuvo la idea original de esta propuesta y quien se ocupa de la dirección musical. La dirección escénica corre a cargo de Pepa Gamboa y la dramaturgia es de Antonio Álamo. "Cómicas" - Mujeres de teatro en la España del siglo XVIII- Teatro de la Zarzuela (c/ Jovellanos, 4) - Nueva producción del Teatro de la Zarzuela. 8, 9 y 10 de mayo a las 19:30 y el 11 de mayo a las 18:00 Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre La soga. Thriller psicológico criminalístico de 1948 dirigido por Alfred Hitchcock basado en la obra teatral homónima de 1929 de Patrick Hamilton. La historia fue adaptada para la película por Hume Cronyn y el guion fue escrito por Arthur Laurents. Está protagonizada por James Stewart, John Dall y Farley Granger. La trama se centra en los estudiantes Brandon (Dall) y Philip (Granger), quienes, alentados por las ideas de su profesor de filosofía (Stewart), asesinan a un antiguo compañero y celebran una fiesta con el cadáver aún oculto en su apartamento. Todo con el único propósito de probar que son intelectualmente superiores y capaces de cometer el "crimen perfecto". Tanto la película como la obra de teatro original guardan importantes similitudes con el mediático caso real del asesinato de Bobby Franks a manos de los estudiantes Nathan Leopold y Richard Loeb, cometido en Chicago en 1924.

We're talking about Tay Garnett's 1946 adaptation of the steamy James M. Cain novel “THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE”. It stars Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway & Hume Cronyn.

Welcome to this week's episode of “Friday Night Noir” on Vintage Classic Radio. We're delving into the shadows with two masterpieces of the thriller genre. First, we unearth a rare gem from the mid-1940s, “Once Upon a Midnight.” This untransmitted pilot from the proposed ABC Radio series featured the legendary Alfred Hitchcock as both host and narrator, drawing inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." Although it never found a sponsor, the pilot, recorded on May 11th, 1945, remains a fascinating 'what could have been' in the annals of radio history. Based on Francis Iles' novel "Malice Aforethought," the episode stars the incredibly talented married duo, Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, who bring to life the story of a murderous doctor. The narrative, soaked in suspense and shock, showcases Hitchcock's unique approach to storytelling, where the music, composed by Felix Mills, punctuates the drama rather than merely bridging scenes. Then we turn the dial to October 4th, 1951, for an episode of "Suspense" titled "Alibi Me," featuring the indomitable Mickey Rooney. This story plunges us into the world of a small-time hoodlum who finds himself in desperate need of an alibi. The tension ratchets up as we follow his frantic efforts to secure his innocence. "Suspense" was a radio anthology series, renowned for its stellar storytelling and its ability to attract Hollywood's finest to the microphone. These audio plays are time capsules, capturing the essence of an era when radio was king, and the voices of the airwaves could conjure images as vivid as any on the silver screen. Join us as we step back in time and experience the chilling tales that had our grandparents clinging to every word. This is “Friday Night Noir,” where the dark corners of the human psyche are illuminated by the soft glow of the radio dial.

Greatest Movie Of All-Time

Dana and Tom discuss another Alfred Hitchcock classic in Rope (1948): directed by Alfred Hitchcock, adaptation by Hume Cronyn, screenplay by Arthur Laurents, starring James Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger. Plot Summary: Philip Morgan (Farley Granger) and Brandon Shaw (John Dall) strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope to experience the supremacy of murder. Planning to capitalize on this experience, the two plan a dinner party upon the very chest where they have laid their victim. To make matters worse, the pair welcome their invited guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée (Joan Chandler), the victim's parents, and the college professor (James Stewart) whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing. Will the two succeed and prove their superiority, or will they fail and prove the folly of their efforts?

Book Vs. Movie: The Postman Always Rings TwiceThe James M. Cain 1934 Novel Vs. the 1946 Lana Turner Classic FilmThe Margos are feeling like a couple of femme fatales after reading the 1934 James M. Cain novel and watching the 1946 film The Postman Always Rings Twice for Book Vs Movie. We put on our white turbans and try to decide which is better in this film noir-loving episode. We covered Cain in our past episodes for Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity and consider ourselves to be Cain fans! In this novel, Frank Chambers is a drifter who finds work in a California burger joint. The owner, Nick Papadakis (The Greek), is married to a beautiful, younger woman named Cora. Frank and Cora have a steamy affair with sex scenes and themes of violence causing it to be “banned in Boston.” It was also a smash hit that began Cain's literary career. There are those that say the plot resembles Emile Zola's novel Therese Raquin which neither one of the Margos has read. There are a few adaptations to pick from for this work but we prefer the 1946 Lana Turner & John Garfield version which is plenty sexy and is considered a classic for several legitimate reasons. First of all, Turner is at her hottest and leaves us breathless from her all-white wardrobe to her sly smile. Garfield (who would sadly pass away of a heart condition when he was just 39) is a sweaty mess of a man who looks like he would kill for this woman.

Book Vs Movie: “A Streetcar Named Desire” The Tennessee Williams Play Song Vs the Elia Kazan Movie The Margos are feeling very fragile and need to take long, hot baths when discussing one of the greatest dramas of the 20th Century--A Streetcar Named Desire. The play by Tennessee Williams thrilled the Broadway stage in 1947 starring young buck Marlon Brandon who went full method with Kim Hunter, Jessica Tandy, and Karl Malden.  The play is Williams's follow up to the incredible success of The Glass Menagerie in 1944 which was greatly based on his own life story. Williams grew up in an unhappy home and had family members with mental health issues. The writing was his escape and many of his characters tend to be lost souls who are searching for meaning and/or companionship.  In post-World War 2 America, musicals were making the most money in New York theater but when A Streetcar Named Desire--audiences stood in lines for hours to watch  Brando and his masculinity on full display. He was a fan of Stella Adler and her acting technique which as first scared Jessica Tandy (playing Blanche Dubois--an “aging” southern belle who is looking for help in a time of crisis.”) Her husband, fellow thespian Hume Cronyn convinced this type of drama will change theater forever.  Taking place in New Orleans in 1947, Blanche Dubois is a woman who has just lost her family home in Laurel, Mississippi, and moves in with her younger sister Stella (Kim Hunter) and her brutish husband Stanley Kowalski. Brando plays Stanley as a cross between man & animal who resents his sister-in-law moving into their tiny home.  The tension between Blanche & Stanley fuels most of the scenes and has consequences for everyone in their lives culminating in violence.  The film was directed by Elia Kazan based mostly on his Broadway production though because of the Hays Code, many changes had to be made to make it “appropriate” for a 1950s movie audience. (There were no rating systems back then and movies were meant for a more general audience.) Most of the hyper-sexuality was toned down and were under the guise of symbolism to get their point across.  It's one of the top dramas of all time and we really enjoyed digging into the changes with the film (which started with the casting of Vivien Leigh as Blanche who was thought to be more commercial than Jessica Tandy.)  So between the play and the movie--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The life of Tennessee Williams New York theater in the 1940s & 1950s and how it changed acting forever  The backstory and controversial life of Elia Kazan The cast: Marlon Brando (Stanely Kowalski,) Vivien Leigh (Blanche DuBois,) Stella Kawalsky (Kim Hunter,) and Karl Malden as Mitch Mitchell.   Clips used: Blanche meets Stanley A Streetcar Named Desire trailer “Napoleonic Law”  “Stella!” Mitch confronts Blanche Music by Alex North Book Vs Movie is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.

In this 10-minute podcast, two of our community's best-known movie buffs, Frank Buxton and John Ellis, describe the upcoming "Film Noir" classic movie series they're hosting on six Tuesday evenings, starting Jan 17th. This is the sixth in the Art Museum's "smARTfilms" series, brought to us by these two seasoned film fans who are also buddies in the well-known local comedy troupe, The Edge Improv. The movies will be shown on the big bright screen of the Frank Buxton Auditorium (with its comfy cinema-style seating) at the Art Museum, and will be accompanied by optional dinner and drinks, plus post-movie conversation with Frank and John. As described by John and Frank in this podcast, recorded at Frank's home, the six films on six Tuesdays include: Jan 17: "M" (1931), directed by Fritz Lang, featuring Peter Lorre. Berlin's underworld, between two wars. Jan 24: "Shadow of a Doubt" (1943), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, with Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotton, Hume Cronyn. Jan 31: "The Big Sleep" (1946), featuring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, in their first film noir together. Feb 7: "The Third Man" (1949), directed by Carol Reed, with Orson Wells. A mystery about a death, and an investigation follows. Feb 14: "The Night of the Hunter" (1955), directed by Charles Laughton, with Robert Mitchum and Lillian Gish. Evil machinations of a murderous "preacher". Feb 21: "Touch of Evil" (1958), directed by Orson Wells, starring Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh and Wells himself. A portrait of corruption and morally-compromised obsessions. The $10 tickets for each film (or $50 for the series of 6) can be purchased via the Art Museum website. And there is an optional pre-movie drinks and dinner session for an extra charge, with doors opening at 5:30 for the 6pm start of dining. With apologies, the less-than-perfect audio quality of this podcast reflects the fact that it was recorded away from BCB's sound studio at our host's home.
