Podcasts about Humphrey Bogart

Welcome to the seventeenth episode of our ongoing series: Fascism On Film. Each episode of this series, the Holmes Brothers look and review a film that has to do with fascism. During the episodes, the brothers look and see how the aspects and portrayal of fascism shown in the film relate to current and/or past events.On this Fascism on Film episode, the Holmes Brothers sit down to discuss Archie Mayo's film Black Legion, starring one of their favourite actors Humphrey Bogart. This was in the early days of Bogart's career, and he wouldn't blow up as an actor and as a movie star until 1941 with High Sierra. He reunites with Archie Mayo who directed him in The Petrified Forest, for this hard-hitting drama set in the Midwestern parts of the United States. Frank Taylor (Bogart) is a blue collar factory worker who is expecting a promotion any day now. When he is passed over for a younger Polish immigrant, it takes a toll on Frank. He becomes bitter and mean. He is influenced to join a secret hate group called the Black Legion. Being part of the group alienates everyone from Frank. His family and friends. It all builds to a tragic conclusion. The Black Legion were a faction of the Klu Klux Klan. They were active in the 1920s and 1930s, they grew to prominence in the Great Depression. The film is based on the real life kidnapping and murder of a Work Progress Administration organiser: Charles S. Poole.We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more episodes of this Fascism On Film series.Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos.

With the help of his defense lawyer (Kelly Lynch), who is madly in love with him, psychotic killer Michael Bosworth (Mickey Rourke) escapes prison and goes on the run with his brother (Elias Koteas) and his partner in crime (David Morse). Killing time before his lawyer can meet up with them, the three invade the home of Tim (Anthony Hopkins) and Nora Cornell (Mimi Rogers), a bickering couple on the brink of divorce. Now the couple must fight to save their marriage, and their lives.Clearly drawing on Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Cimino makes his first thriller in this remake of a classic Humphrey Bogart film. How does he fare? Why does he keep casting Mickey Rourke? How could a movie with this cast (and Elias Koteas WITH HAIR) not snag an audience?

Round Up the Unusual Suspects by Elizabeth Crowens is historical cozy. B. Norman Investigations is back at Warner Brothers Studio at the behest of Jack Warner himself. A stage hand was been found murdered on one of the set and Babs Norman and Guy Brandt are hired to not only find the killer but make sure there isn't a second body in the wings. But the PIs have more than just murder on their minds—there's Babs's Japanese gardener she's hiding from authorities, Guy's draft number being called, Guy's maybe new boyfriend, Babs's fanatic suitor, and Hollywood being Hollywood as WWII rages.Bottom line: Round Up the Unusual Suspects is for you if you like Casablanca and WWII era American stories told from a Cozy perspectiveThe brightest light in this story is the world Crowens created. It's 1942 in Burbank, California. Warner Brothers Studio, led by Jack Warner, is pushing forward on projects as the world changes. WWII is underway. Pearl Harbor has happened, and now Japanese emigrants and descendants are under orders to turn themselves in to internment camps. Emigrants from across Europe have sought refuge in North America including the U.S. The draft is happening and able bodied young men from across the country are called to report for duty.Within all of the uncertainty and anxiety of the time, Crowens placed a light-hearted adventure / mystery that highlights where people found relief—in other people. The cast of ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is large and draws in characters you already know like Humphrey Bogart, Dashiell Hammett, Errol Flynn, and Ingrid Bergman. For fans of Casablanca, ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is a behind-the-scene tour of the celebrated film and its stars.There is a lot packed in between the covers. There are many characters and, aside from the famous ones, I did have some trouble keeping everyone straight. While mystery is an element, ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is more dominantly an Americana story using mystery as the backdrop for seeing who we were then.ROUND UP THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS is the 3rd book in the Babs Norman Golden Age of Hollywood Mystery Series. I read book 1 but not 2. The storyline stands on it's own and doesn't require reading the first books. However, Book 1 HOUNDS OF THE HOLLYWOOD BASKERVILLES, where dog napping is the crime to be solved, is just plain fun.The Round Up the Unusual Suspects was released from Level Best Books and is promoted by Partners In Crime Tours and is available from online retailers. Check out PICT for links to all.https://partnersincrimetours.com/round-up-the-unusual-suspects-by-elizabeth-crowens/About Elizabeth CrowensElizabeth Crowens is bi-coastal between New York and Los Angeles, where she has worn many hats in the entertainment industry.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we head back to 1938 for Angels with Dirty Faces, Michael Curtiz's classic gangster drama starring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, Humphrey Bogart and Ann Sheridan.It is very much an old-school Hollywood crime picture — street kids, reform school, crooked lawyers, corrupt city rackets, priests, gangsters, ledgers, shootouts and plenty of “what do you say, what do you know?” patter — but the dads are surprised by how modern and effective parts of it still feel.We start with young Rocky Sullivan and Jerry Connolly, two poor kids stealing from freight cars in the hope of making a few dollars. Jerry makes it over the fence. Rocky gets caught. That one moment sends their lives in opposite directions: Jerry becomes Father Connolly, a priest trying to help the local boys; Rocky becomes a famous gangster whose name alone is enough to make those same boys look at him like a hero.The film's central question is simple and still uncomfortable: what happens when the person the kids admire most is exactly the person they should not become?Rocky returns to the old neighbourhood after prison looking for the $100,000 he is owed by Frazier, played by Humphrey Bogart in full slippery villain mode. Instead of paying up, Frazier and his partners try to have Rocky killed, while Rocky's presence in the neighbourhood starts pulling the Dead End Kids away from Father Jerry's attempts to give them discipline, sport and a better path.Along the way we discuss:James Cagney's magnetic gangster energyHumphrey Bogart before he became top-billed BogartPat O'Brien as Rocky's childhood friend turned priestAnn Sheridan as Laury, the grown-up “pigtails” from Rocky's youththe Dead End Kids as younger versions of Rocky and Jerrythe basketball scene and Jerry's attempt to teach rules and teamworkcorrupt rackets, hidden ledgers and gangster bookkeepingRocky's refusal to let Frazier and Mac kill Jerrythe rooftop/tenement shootout that seals Rocky's fatethe electric-chair ending and whether Rocky's fear is real or performedwhy that final walk is the thing everyone remembersthe film's influence on Angels with Filthy Souls in Home AloneSidey had not seen the film before and comes away genuinely impressed, especially by how strong the filmmaking feels for 1938. The camera moves more than expected, the street scenes have real life in them, and the moral ending still lands. Dan highlights Cagney's star power and the way his gangster roles sit alongside his broader musical and performance talents.So does it still work? Absolutely. The language and rhythms are unmistakably of their time, but the story of poverty, idol worship, bad choices and one final attempt at redemption still has weight.Strong recommend, see?You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Many actors have brought Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe to life. Humphrey Bogart, Elliot Gould, Danny Glover, and Liam Neeson are just a few of the men to portray the legendary private eye on the big and small screens, but today we'll hear four actors who played Marlowe on radio. First, Van Heflin is Marlowe in a radio adaptation of Chandler's "Red Wind" (originally aired on NBC on June 17, 1947). Next, Robert Montgomery reprises the role of Marlowe as The Lux Radio Theatre adapts "Lady in the Lake" (originally aired on CBS on February 9, 1948). Dick Powell steps back into the gumshoe's shoes in a Hollywood Star Time presentation of "Murder, My Sweet" (originally aired on CBS on June 8, 1946). Finally, Gerald Mohr proves "crime is a sucker's road" in "The Uneasy Head" (originally aired on CBS on June 6, 1950).

In 1949 Warner Bros. built a movie out of its own stars for one reason: to make Doris Day famous. It worked. Melanie Benjamin and Edward Kelsey Moore watch It's a Great Feeling, directed by David Butler and starring Doris Day, Dennis Morgan, and Jack Carson. It was Day's third Warner Bros. picture, made when the studio had a big star on its hands and wanted the whole town to notice. The plot is thin on purpose: Day plays a studio cafeteria worker who wants to be in pictures, Morgan and Carson play themselves, and the film opens on the joke that no director will work with Jack Carson except Jack Carson. What fills the rest is the cameo parade. Joan Crawford reprises her Mildred Pierce dialogue and slaps both leading men. Gary Cooper gets a single word. Edward G. Robinson parodies his own gangster persona, Errol Flynn turns up as the small-town fiance, and Bugs Bunny arrives by way of Mel Blanc. Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart are conspicuously absent. The hosts are honest about the rest: forgettable songs, a dream ballet that defeats explanation, a Maurice Chevalier parody that runs long. What works is Day herself, and one quiet late number in a train lounge car. Not a good movie. A delight anyway. Also discussed: Calamity Jane, Mildred Pierce, Christmas in Connecticut, Singin' in the Rain, The Sound of Music. Next: Homebodies by Tembe Denton-Hurst. Who the Hell Are We? is hosted by novelists Melanie Benjamin and Edward Kelsey Moore. Subscribe at melanieanded.substack.com. Notes: melandEd@whothehellarewe.com.

Juanma González y Dani Palacios conversan en esRadio sobre la relación de Howard Hawks con Faulkner y la influencia del filme 'El Crack'. En esta nueva entrega de Par Impar, el programa de cine de esRadio, los presentadores Juanma González y Dani Palacios conversan con Martín Torres, médico de urgencias y escritor que presenta la segunda edición de su aclamada novela negra, La Enfermera. Durante la charla sobre la mítica película de cine negro El Sueño Eterno, de Howard Hawks, se analiza cómo el autor ha logrado plasmar su experiencia profesional en un relato trepidante, ambientado en una ciudad que evoca la atmósfera del cine negro clásico: San Sebastián. Los tertulianos comparan la capital guipuzcoana con Los Ángeles por su capacidad para acoger intrigas oscuras bajo una fachada de sofisticación. Martín Torres explica que San Sebastián posee una dualidad idónea para el suspense, ya que combina el glamour de su festival de cine con el ambiente sombrío de sus días lluviosos, siendo la capital de provincia con más jornadas de precipitaciones al año. Esta atmósfera sirve de telón de fondo para La Enfermera, donde el entorno hospitalario de urgencias se convierte en el epicentro de una compleja trama criminal. El autor destaca que la medicina de urgencias aporta un dinamismo y una constante toma de decisiones extremas que encajan a la perfección con el ritmo que exige el thriller contemporáneo. El debate se traslada rápidamente a los grandes referentes del género, prestando especial atención a El Sueño Eterno, la mítica película dirigida por Howard Hawks y basada en la novela de Raymond Chandler. Martín confiesa su admiración por este clásico y destaca la colaboración del Nobel William Faulkner en el guión junto a Leigh Brackett. Entre las anécdotas del rodaje, recuerdan el famoso telegrama que Hawks envió a Chandler preguntándole quién había matado al chófer de la historia, a lo que el novelista respondió que tampoco lo sabía, un claro ejemplo de cómo la atmósfera y el magnetismo de los personajes superan a la propia coherencia de la trama. Otro aspecto de gran interés que se analiza de El Sueño Eterno es la inigualable química entre Humphrey Bogart y Lauren Bacall, cuya relación traspasó la pantalla y dio origen al famoso término Rat Pack, acuñado por la propia Bacall. Los presentadores de esRadio recuerdan cómo el estudio decidió añadir nuevas escenas para aprovechar el tirón publicitario del romance real, lo que dio pie a secuencias tan recordadas como la de los caballos, cargada de dobles sentidos de carácter sexual que lograron sortear la férrea censura de la época. Centrándose en el proceso de escritura de La Enfermera, Martín Torres revela que su prioridad ha sido construir diálogos ágiles y de gran realismo, inspirándose en el habla de la gente joven con la que trabaja a diario en el hospital. Asimismo, el autor confiesa que evita realizar descripciones físicas minuciosas de los personajes o de las localizaciones para estimular la imaginación del lector. Esta técnica permite que cada persona proyecte su propia imagen de los protagonistas, lo que agiliza notablemente la lectura y sumerge al público directamente en la acción. Por último, el programa de esRadio aborda una de las conexiones más fascinantes del cine español con Hollywood, detallando la supuesta influencia de El Crack, la obra maestra de José Luis Garci protagonizada por Alfredo Landa, en el cine de Quentin Tarantino. Los tertulianos rememoran una anécdota según la cual se le preguntó directamente a Tarantino en un festival si había copiado una escena para Pulp Fiction, a lo que el director estadounidense admitió conocer y admirar el filme de Garci. El broche de oro de la emisión lo pone la música de Fleetwood Mac con clásicos como Lies y Everywhere, que ponen ritmo a esta enriquecedora conversación sobre literatura, medicina y celuloide.

Our favorite penguin is back for Season 2 of Apple's surprise sci-fi noir, Sugar.

Original Release Date: Monday 22 June 2026    Description:   There are two Carolinas in the USA. North and South. Phil is exploring both of them. So, this week's show was pre-recorded quite a few days earlier than usual. In it, Dean and Phil discuss The Actor's Gang, a well-respected theater company and training ground for talented performers (like their pal, Steve Benaquist). Dean and Phil continue to talk about the late, great artist David Hockney, his love of smoking, and the ways in which he taught the world to think of Los Angeles, namely as it pertains to light. Light and its interplay with shadows is absolutely top of mind for your friends in podcasting and they go deep into film noir, talking about such great actors as George Raft, Humphrey Bogart, Burt Lancaster, Edmond O'Brien, and Edward G. Robinson, and such great directors of noir as Fritz Lang and Robert Siodmak. The movies They Drive by Night, The Killers and Scarlet Street all get appraised. Finally, Phil holds court about the 1980 neo-noir The First Deadly Sin, which was the final motion picture produced by Frank Sinatra, and the final lead performance for Sinatra as an actor. It was supposed to have been directed by Roman Polanski, which has Phil asking, “What if it had been?” He also suggests another young director (at the time) who would have been a better choice than the film's eventual director, Brian G. Hutton. Nevertheless, Hutton did director a couple of Dean's favorite movies, so Phil shares the quite interesting details of Hutton's career.

Cʹest Cendrillon qui finit assassinée par son prince. Un classique du cinéma, adulé, encensé. Normal, cʹest Joseph Leo Mankiewicz qui signe ce chef-dʹœuvre sorti en 1954, intitulé La Comtesse aux Pieds Nus, The Barefoot Contessa. Lʹhistoire est celle dʹune jeune femme, madrilène, fantastique danseuse, recrutée par un millionnaire pour les besoins dʹun film, qui devient une star, puis épouse un Comte impuissant, tombe enceinte du domestique et meurt. " Jʹai essayé de faire un conte de fées qui corresponde à la vie dʹaujourdʹhui, une version amère de Cendrillon. Le prince charmant aurait dû, à la fin, se révéler homosexuel, mais je ne voulais pas aller aussi loin. " confesse Mankiewicz. Vous lʹentendez, le propos est assez subversif. Dʹautant que le réalisateur sʹamuse à attaquer le tout Hollywood, sa chasse aux sorcières, son système pyramidal, la jet-set, la noblesse européenne vieillissante et quelques producteurs tout puissants dans la foulée. Cʹest un film porté de bout en bout par son réalisateur qui vient de fonder sa propre maison de production Figaro Inc., Figaro Incorporation. Construits en flash-backs, le film propose un magnifique portait de femme porté par la présence magnétique dʹAva Gardner. Un rôle clé, marquant, à la fois proche et éloigné de la réalité. Elle y est tour à tour exceptionnellement fragile, forte, folle, amoureuse, déprimée, magnifique. A ses côté, Humphrey Bogart dans le rôle dʹun metteur-en-scène ami, sorte de doublure visuelle du réalisateur. Ne tardons pas. La comtesse marche pieds nus dans cette success story complètement pervertie, dans un film placé sous le signe de la fatalité et de la tragédie.

This wasn't on my bingo card for 2026. The first live-action Spider-Man TV series since the 1970s stars 62-year-old Nicolas Cage in 1930s New York, doing a Humphrey Bogart impression. The show is available in both black-and-white and color, and it kicks off with “Step Into My Office,” introducing Ben Reilly as a down-on-his-luck private investigator who has retired his superhero identity, The Spider, after his fiancée's passing. Naturally, the series doesn't plan on letting him stay retired for long. On the podcast, we break down the pilot, discuss our favorite and least favorite parts, decide whether black-and-white or color is the way to go, and land on our ultimate rating. Tune in. Welcome to Today's Episode!

Forget everything you know about traditional, bright Marvel superhero stories—this is a gritty, smoke-filled 1930s detective drama that feels more like Casablanca than The Avengers.​We discuss an aging, down-on-his-luck Ben Reilly who has hung up the mask after a personal tragedy, only to get dragged right back into New York's criminal underworld by a messy new case involving a pyrokinetic target, a sultry club singer, and a sand-shifting enforcer. Plus, we debate whether the "True-Hue" color or classic Black & White format is the ultimate way to watch. Grab your fedora and drop your thoughts in the comments! Follow @kevin27wrld

Las películas tras bambalinas, sean estas las del teatro o del cine, ya habían generado al menos una par de obras maestras con La calle 42 (1934) y Nace una estrella (1937), cuando JL Mankiewicz —en la cumbre de su talento e influencia en Hollywood— estrena All About Eve (1950), obteniendo por ella una gran recaudación y seis premios Oscar (incluyendo dos para él, como director y guionista) y asegurando de paso la inmortalidad de Bette Davis como Margo Channing, la diva definitiva. La premisa es la misma de 42nd Street (la carrera de una actriz suplente explota la noche en que reemplaza a la estrella principal), pero la ejecución, la maestría de sus di´álogos y sobre todo la forma en que estos son interpretados por un elenco insuperable, hacen de All About Eve un objeto único: entretenimiento supremo, combinación perfecta entre drama y kitsch, y claro, la película sin la cual toda la obra de Almodóvar no existiría. Mucho menos conocida por el público actual, pero igual de esencial es La condesa descalza (1954), el gran ajuste de cuentas de Mankiewicz con sus propios colegas y, en especial, con los productores y financistas cinematográficos. El punto de partida es puro melo: situado ante un talento puro como el de María Vargas, el director Harry Dawes sólo está seguro de una cosa; tarde o temprano, ese diamante en bruto será destrozado. Suerte de post mortem de una industria a la que se ama y se odia, la fábula está perfectamente servida por Ava Gardner y Humphrey Bogart en los roles principales. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

It's another doubleheader in episode #735, this time with 2 unrelated '50s classics. First up, I talk about the offbeat John Huston comedy Beat The Devil. The screenplay he wrote with Truman Capote is very quotable, even though its characters and daffy plot parody serious caper flicks like Huston's The Maltese Falcon. Humphrey Bogart has been a regular on Have You Ever Seen over the years, but this is the first episode ever for Jennifer Jones or Gina Lollobrigida. Jenny is quirky, cute and quite a talented liar while Gina is...well, staggeringly gorgeous. Then I veer from the fun of that one to spend about 17 minutes on Lee J. Cobb and Jane Wyatt in The Man Who Cheated Himself. Felix Feist's noir is about a cop who breaks the law to cover for his murdering mistress. Jane Wyatt is yet another classic actress we'd never covered before. So spend this final Monday of April hearing about a loopy comedy and an intense crime flick. Well, Actually: "coupe" IS pronounced "coo-pay" in French AND in what's known as "British English". Also, the other movie that will be reviewed on Friday will in fact be the Gene Autry western South Of The Border.

Wes Craven didn't invent the idea of dying in your sleep during a nightmare — he read about it in the newspaper. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, dozens of young Hmong refugees in America went to sleep and never woke up, and nobody could explain why. The CDC investigated. Doctors were baffled. And the victims themselves had seen it coming — they were afraid to sleep. The real nightmare came first. Freddy Krueger came second.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Children dying in their sleep while having terrible nightmares. It's not just a movie plot from a Wes Craven film – it really happened, and inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. (The Terrifying True Syndrome That Inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street) *** We're used to seeing someone on television or in movies die from a gunshot or stabbing, knowing they were just pretending – that the gun was using blanks, or the knife was using a retractable blade. But what we don't often hear are the times that those prop weapons end up killing someone for real. (Death By Movie Prop) *** How can a little girl disappear in a big crowd of people with no one seeing anything? Was it a case of stranger danger or did someone she know betray her trust? We'll look at the case of Beverly Rose Potts who went missing in 1951, never to be seen again. (Peril in the Park for Beverly Potts) *** Part medicine, part honey, part cannibalism… who or what was the mellified man? (The Mellified Man) *** They say that tragedy can change a person forever… and that couldn't be more true for one man who went from being considered lucky, to becoming deranged after a horrible accident, (The Hidden Wounds of Mr. Schultz) *** Famous last words. Humphrey Bogart said, “I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis.” Winston Churchill's last words were simply, “I'm bored with it all.” But sometimes what a person says on their deathbed can be shocking or outlandish – even if they aren't a celebrity. We'll look at a few unexpected deathbed moments.

Send us Fan MailApril 1 in the Great Plains isn't just a punchline. We start with the kind of frontier humor that could make or break you: trail-boss tricks like sending a newcomer for a bucket of steam, and Dodge City stunts so convincing they leave bystanders sure they've witnessed a killing. Those pranks weren't random cruelty. They were a social code, a way to build community fast, measure grit, and survive a life defined by hard work, uncertainty, and long stretches of dust and wind.Then the story takes a sharp turn from saloons to searchlights. We head to April 1, 1939, when Dodge City transforms overnight into the center of the cinematic universe for the world premiere of Warner Brothers' Technicolor epic “Dodge City.” Special Hollywood trains roll into town carrying major stars like Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, alongside Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart, and Alan Hale. The population swells toward 50,000, the streets fill ten deep with hats and boots, and an army of reporters documents a prairie town watching a movie about itself.What makes this night unforgettable isn't only the celebrity or the parade. It's the moment Ford County history collides with American mythmaking. We talk about how Hollywood shapes the Old West legend, why locals don't seem to mind the facts getting bent, and what it feels like when your hometown stops being a place and becomes a story on the silver screen. If you care about Dodge City history, Old West culture, or how movies rewrite memory, hit play, subscribe, and share the show, then leave us a review and tell us: does a film keep history alive or blur it beyond repair?Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. 

“BETTE vs MIRIAM: WHEN STARS COLLIDED” - 3/30/2026 (133) What would Hollywood be without a good, old fashioned rivalry. It's well documented that BETTE DAVIS and JOAN CRAWFORD were not exactly besties. But did you know that Davis had another rivalry that was even uglier and more intense? That's right, the rivalry between Davis and her co-star in The Old Maid (1939) and Old Acquaintance (1943) was one for the ages. Completely different in upbringing, temperament, and acting styles, these two grand dames of the silver screen kept the gossip columnists' tongues wagging with their petty, mean-spirited one-upmanship. And while Davis ended up the victor in the long run, as she had a longer and more successful career, Hopkins could give as good as she could take. This week, we explore the long-standing feud between these two great divas.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Miriam Hopkins: Life and Films of a Hollywood Rebel (2018), by Allan R.

March 25, 1945 - Murder Mystery with guest star Alan Ladd. Mary Livingstone was named best dressed woman in radio. References include Humphrey Bogart and Fred Allen.

When the Hollywood classic, Casablanca, was released in 1943, moviegoers were thrilled by the love story. Humphrey Bogart stars as the cynical owner of Rick's Cafe, a nightclub in Morocco. Ingrid Bergman is his old flame, Ilsa, now married to Victor Laszlo, a dashing resistance leader hunted by the Nazis.Many of the characters at Rick's Café are European refugees trying to make their way to America. What most viewers didn't know is that those characters were played by actors who themselves had recently fled the Nazis. This casting choice lent the film an authenticity that helped deliver its message: that a war far from our borders was a war worth waging. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

What does HUMPHREY BOGART in “The Maltese Falcon,” INGRID BERGMAN in “Casablanca” (1942), and GARY GRANT & ROSALIND RUSSELL in “His Girl Friday” (1940), all have in common? They are all iconic screen performances that were not — clutch your pearls! — even nominated for an Academy Award.

We delve into the BBC Archives to hear from director Leni Riefenstahl about one of the most controversial propaganda movies ever made, Triumph of the Will, which was filmed at the Nazis' Nuremberg rally in 1934. Next, we hear about the challenges of making the Hollywood 1942 classic, Casablanca, from the late son and nephew of the screenwriters. Finally, the story of the Spanish language fantasy, Pan's Labyrinth, which took the world by storm in 2006.

EPISODE 129 -  “FRANK LOVEJOY: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 3/02/2026  I think many people know that one of our favorite films is In a Lonely Place (1950). Directed by NICHOLAS RAY, this film noir is the tragic story of a love affair unraveling at the hands of doubt and distrust. It stars HUMPHREY BOGART and GLORIA GRAHAME in roles that would be career-defining. However, adding quiet strength to the film is FRANK LOVEJOY, who played Brub Nicolai, Bogart's ex-army buddy turned private investigator. In the film, Lovejoy is not flashy, nor does he attempt to steal scenes, but he is so solid, so decent — he becomes the moral compass and Greek Chorus that helps define the narrative. What was so wonderful about Lovejoy was just how ordinary he was. He was Everyman. Square-jawed, no-nonsense, he looked like your Dad, or your uncle, or your local butcher. He wouldn't stand out in a crowd, but he brought such humanity and decency to every role he performed. You may not know his name, but you certainly know his face. So this week, we are going to dive into the life and career of FRANK LOVEJOY, an unsung hero of classic cinema, and our Star of the Month SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IBDB.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned: Black Bart (1948), starring Yvonne DeCarlo & Dan Duryea; Home of the Brave (1949), starring James Edwards & Lloyd Bridges; In A Lonely Place (1950), starring Humphrey Bogart & Gloria Grahame; South Sea Sinner (1950), starring MacDonald Carey & Shelley Winters; Three Secrets (1950), starring Eleanor Parker, Patricia Neal, and Ruth Roman; Breakthrough (1950), starring John Agar & David Brian;  The Sound of Fury (1950), starring Frank Lovejoy, Kathleen Ryan, & Richard Carlson' Goodbye My Fancy (1951), starring Joan Crawford & Robert Young; Force of Arms (1951), starring Wiliam Holden & Nancy Olson; I'll See You In My Dreams (1951), starring Doris Day & Danny Thomas; Starlift (1951), starring Gary Cooper & Doris Day; I Was A Communist For The FBI (1951), starring Frank Lovejoy & Dorothy Hart; Retreat, Hell!

Gina Lollobrigida was one of the biggest stars of European cinema in the 1950s and 1960s. Often described as "the most beautiful woman in the world", her films included Beat the Devil, the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Crossed Swords. She was fawned over by Howard Hughes, one of the world's richest men, and co-starred alongside the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Rock Hudson and Errol Flynn. But later in life, she reinvented herself as an artist and photographer. In 1974, she secured an exclusive photo shoot and interview with Cuban leader Fidel Castro, during which he gave her his watch as a gift.
