A Budapest Pride megnyitójának apropóján olyan filmeket veszünk sorra, melyekben a queer tapasztalat nemcsak identitás, hanem társadalmi szerep is – és bizony, ez a szerep sokáig a komód alsó fiókjában lapult a tiltott könyvek között. Mert míg a "Van, aki forrón szereti" című klasszikusban Tony Curtis és Jack Lemmon parókát ölt és „nőnek látszik”, addig a "Madárfészek" már azt mutatja meg, hogyan lehet egy transzgresszív családmodellből polgárilag elfogadható esküvői performansz. De a queer film nem csak habkönnyű komédiák terepe – elérkezik a kamaszkor kínja is, ahol a "C.R.A.Z.Y." és a "Szólíts a neveden" a vágy első, zavarba ejtő fellángolásait mesélik el, némi diszkóval és David Bowie-val. A "coming of age" itt tapasztalat: hogyan lehet felnőni egy világban, amely nem biztos, hogy visszatekint. De ha meg is teszi, hogyan kell megtenni az első, bizonytalan lépéseket? És mit kezdjünk a tükörképünkkel, ha nincs hozzá egy támogató családi háttér? A "Távol a mennyországtól" és "A boldogító nem" már a felnőtt lét keserű kompromisszumairól szólnak, ahol a homoszexualitás nem cool, hanem tabusított trauma. Vissza lehet-e bontani egy majdnem zenitre ért életet, hogy a mindig is vágyott irányba állítva újrakezdjük? A "Túl a barátságon" pedig két cowboy tragédiája, és egy olyan Amerikáé, amely nem tud mit kezdeni azzal, ha a hegyekben nemcsak juhokat legeltetnek, hanem érzelmeket is. Ennek betetőzése a "Milk", amelyben Harvey Milk városházi képviselő története nem a „meleg hős” hollywoodi prototípusa, az identitás már politikai tetté válik. A beszélgetés során a hollywoodi kánonba befurakodó másság nyomait kutatjuk: hogyan lesz a szekrényből kilépő figurákból társadalmi kísérlet. Aki pedig szerint „ez az egész túl van tolva”, annak ajánljuk a műsort terápiás céllal.A beszélgetés résztvevői:Balázsy IstvánLaska PálA Régen minden jobb volt a Tilos Rádió hátrafelé nyilazó történelmi műsora:https://www.facebook.com/regen.minden.jobb.volt

"Always be Podcasting" - It's an action movie of words as Phil takes 1992's Glengarry Glen Ross off the shelf this week. Dave remembers watching this movie at the old apartment and remembering some of the highlights. Phil recounts his time discovering the movie and being transfixed by the performances, the words, the lighting. David Mamet's writing is incredibly memorable and these are some of the best actors doing some of their best work. Dave can't help but feel that Jack Lemmon's performance is the most deserving of an Oscar despite it being Pacino that was nominated.

Shakespeare famously wrote, what's in a name? But let's say it out loud. Jack Lemmon. It says it all right there in the name. Jack. Ordinary, the guy across from you on the subway. Lemon. The one that got the broken car. The bitter taste, yet the surprising brightly colored yellow sun inside of the bad luck. Jack Lemmon, arguably the greatest comic and dramatic actor to ever grace the screen, who is unrivaled as the everyman who trips, stumbles, triumphs and gets the girl. Or in the case of Some like it Hot, the guy. Starting this week at one of my very favorite movie theaters, the Film Forum on Houston Street, Jack Lemmon turns 100. Can you believe it? And the Film Forum is opening its two week tribute on Friday, May 16th with the iconic story of opposites, the Odd Couple. But I'm not here to talk about Mr. Lemon's legendary roles in Days of Wine and Roses, Glengarry Glen Ross having a revival on Broadway now with Bob Odenkirk reprising Lemon's unforgettable Shelley Levine, The Front Page, Mr. Roberts, Bell, Book and A Candle. A personal favorite of mine, Some like it Hot, which I watched on VHS until the tape broke…I am here to talk about one of the greatest comedies, if you can call a film about a mid level office drone working at an insurance company who lets his superiors bully him into letting them have his apartment for their affairs in hopes of him getting promoted and the suicidal elevator girl who whom he falls in love with. A comedy The Apartment. Legendary director Billy Wilder, coming off the wild success of Some like it Hot with Marilyn Monroe, wanted to keep his collaboration with Lemon going. So in 1960, Wilder and I.A.L diamond (Come on, is that the coolest name?) who wrote Some Like It Hot with Wilder were inspired by an infamous Hollywood murder story about agent Jennings Lange who was having an affair with actress Joan Bennett in an underlings apartment. So her husband, producer Walter Wanger, shot and killed Lange. Check out Karina Longworth's excellent podcast Love Is A Crime from You Must Remember This for the full retelling to you and I. This might not seem like source material for one of our greatest comedies, but in Wilder, Lemon and the adorable Shirley MacLaine's Hands, it was a box office smash, winning five Oscars out of ten nominations. Now I could go on and on about Billy Wilder's meticulous directorial precision, Lemon's unreal comic timing and turn on a dime pathos why Ving Rhames spontaneously gave him his very own Golden Globe in 1998. But I'm actually here to talk about a hat, a haircut, and a mirror. Let's rewind to 1960 - President Kennedy just took office, Roy Orbison's ‘Only The Lonely' was on the radio, and the kids were doing Chubby Checker's ‘The Twist'. The very seriously subversive theme and subject of The Apartment can not be over stated in this climate. The film, shot in gorgeous black & white by Joseph LaShelle of Laura and Marty fame, puts us smack-dab in what I'd call ‘Mad Men' central - a heady swirl of cigarette smoke and ‘Tom & Jerry' cocktail mix, office Christmas parties, wives holding on line 2 while executive husbands scheduled accepted trysts before dinner and kissing the kids goodnight. Lemmon plays ‘C.C. Baxter', a hard-working, well-meaning drone who somehow gets himself turned into a sort of brothel landlord. His neighbors wonder how he can withstand being such a Lothario - the sounds coming through the walls everynight don't match C.C. Baxter's unassuming Brooks Brothers suit with a rumpled white shirt with rounded collars and tie-bar to boot.But Baxter is caught in a hilarious cycle of paying his dues to climb the corporate ladder. This is what you must do. You must get out of bed at midnight to allow your boss to wine and bed his mistress in your Upper Westside apartment even if it involves you sleeping on a park bench in Central Park and catching your death (which Lemmon really did on that particular night shoot on location in the chilly fall of NYC). Lemmon's aspiration is to be ‘the youngest junior executive at Consolidated Insurance' so he MUST climb that corporate ladder to get the accoutrements - the windowed office, the carte blanche phone calls to pass on favors, and the bowler hat!He proudly shows it off to Shirley MacLaine's elevator operator, Fran Kubelik, who regards it as the ultimate symbol of the last ‘nice guy' crossing over the river Styx to the underworld of betrayal. She is happy for Baxter, but her eyes register a cultural sadness - this white male corporate culture is a disease and its got it claws in Baxter, and Baxter is completely oblivious to what he is about to sign on the dotted line for. Fran isn't. Despite her absolutely adorable ‘pixie' hair-cut, she has been groped by the best of them, and seems unreachable by the hordes of executives. Fran is the Snow Leopard, the last big game that hasn't been conquered. You can grab her butt, and she firmly pushes you on your way. There is something modern, forward-leaning in her attitude and appearance, punctuated by that hair-cut representing women's liberation, strength, and independence. ‘I don't need long flowing hair to make you like me, pal.' The pixie cut was popularized by Audrey Hepburn in the late 1950's, followed by the model Twiggy, and reaching its apotheosis with Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby in the mid-1960s. But Shirley MacLaine, in my humble opinion, does it best as ‘Fran', the hard-working elevator operator girl who won't fall prey. Fran says in one of the film's most famous lines of dialogue, “When you're alone with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara.” Shirley MacLaine's tender and deep performance as ‘Fran', lets us - and eventually Baxter - know that all is not well in the corporate system and the culture at large. One of the most ingenious uses of the Hollywood film adage ‘show don't tell' in filmmaking is the use of a simple compact make-up mirror to tell a major plot turn in The Apartment. Baxter's boss, Jeff D. Sheldrake played with brave impunity by silver screen star Fred MacMurray, who was so hated after this performance he would be aaccosted in the street by ladies chasting him for playing such a ‘dirty man'. Sheldrake calls Baxter into his office early in the film for what Baxter thinks is his promotion. Sheldrake says he's heard about Baxter's ‘key' - meaning his revolving brothel. Sheldrake wants in. Baxter obliges as Sheldrake is THE biggest fish. Later, in another summoning to the head honcho's office, Baxter gives him a floral compact he discovered in his couch, assuming it belongs to Sheldrake's mistress. The mirror inside the compact is cracked jagged down the middle splitting the image of whoever opens it in two. Baxter thinks nothing of it until he is modeling his bowler hat - the Junior Executive - for Fran. What do you think? he askes her. “After all, this is a conservative firm. I don't want people to think I'm an entertainer…”. In the midst of this, Fran helpful as ever, opens her compact to show Baxter how the bowler hat looks. To Baxter's deep inner shock, he puts ‘two and two together' and realizes Fran is in fact Sheldrake's mistress. The horror. The one that was ungettable gotten by the biggest fish with a wife and two kids. The shot of Lemmon reacting in the cracked compact is on the of most effective story and visual devices I can think of in cinema. Baxter sees himself split apart - two worlds: the happy go lucky Baxter, and the Baxter that is now privy to some vile stuff involving the one girl he actually likes.Fran sees his reaction and asks ‘what is it? Baxter takes a beat. “The mirror…it's broken.” Then Fran utters one of my favorite lines, “I know. I like it this way…makes me look the way I feel.” WOW. What a subversive revilation! What a profound utterance. Talk about Chekhov. ‘Makes me look the way I feel'. We begin to realize all is not right with Fran. Sheldrake is leading her on. She sets a boundary at the local Chinese restaurant where he apparently takes all his conquests - the back booth. But Sheldrake works her over, and convinces her he WILL leave his wife. After a tryst back at Baxter's apartment on Christmas Eve, Sheldrake must catch his evening train to make dinner with the family. Obviously having forgotten to get Fran anything of real signifigance for Christmas, he opens his wallet and hands her a hudred dollar bill. Even in today's anything goes era, it's a shockingly seedy gesture that is all too real. MacLaine's Fran takes it in stride - just like Baxter leaving his key under the rug for his bosses - and stands to take off her coat and gets ready to disrobe. Fran says something like, ‘well, you already paid for it.' Ugh. My heart broke! For Fran, for Baxter, for the sad inevitablity of it all. Trigger Warning. The last portion of this episode deals with suicide. Listen with care. Fran asks to be left alone. In the bathroom, she finds the hundred dollar bill in her purse, and realizing she will never be able to break this cycle, she sees Baxter's sleeping pills - Seconal - and takes them all. Meanwhile, Baxter is out drowning his sorrows with a hilarious companion, played by actress Hope Holiday. They get drunk and dance, looking for a place to get even closer, they head back to Baxter's apartment - “Might as well go to me. Everybody else does.” Once back at his place, he discovers Fran and races to his jocular doctor neighbor, played by Jack Kruschen (also Oscar nominated for his hilarious supporting role as Dr. Dreyfuss), and Fran narrowly misses checking out. While recovering at Baxter's playing gin rummy (which MacLaine was playing alot of as a peripheral member of the Rat Pack), Fran and him bond, more than bond. They fall into bliss and don't even know it. It's a beautiful chemistry, one that apparently as it evolved dictated the script. Sources say upon commencement of filming, the screenplay was a mere 40 pages, and Wilder liked to work that way and let things evolve. He was also famous for re-shooting after viewing dallies. MacLaine calls him 'sciencentific, brittle and caustic with women but made you better for it'. She tells a story about once such instance during a climactic scene with Fred MacMurray's ‘Sheldrake' where she couldn't get the emotion necessary for their break-up in the Chinese restaurant they frequent. MacLaine's native Canadian accent was coming out literally on the word ‘out.' After viewing the ‘rushes', he concluded they need to re-shoot, even calling MacLaine out in the screening room. MacLaine, much like Fran, didn't buckle under pressure, and they re-shot. On the day, Wilder called ‘Action' and excused himself to give her the privacy to do the scene. She hit it out of the park, uttering the lines from that take that made the final cut, “So you sit there and make yourself a cup of instant coffee while he rushes out to catch the train.”Well, long story short, Baxter and Fran end up together - thank Heavens. I could explain the plot twists to get them there, but I want to leave you with one final remberance of MacLaine's. When asked what it was like to work with Jack Lemmon, she said, “He would say, ‘Magic time!', every time the camera rolled. And then we knew we'd better make some magic.”Check out The Apartment on the big screen at The Film Forum in all its glory this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And all of Jack Lemmon's ‘Magic time' over the next two weeks.

Here is a “Sunny Song”, wherein the fleeting sunlight is a dappled reminder of the evanescence of existence. They're all gone now: Bill Evans (piano), Tony Bennett (vocals), Henry Mancini (Composer), and Johnny Mercer (Lyricist), but their beautiful creation lives on to remind us to gather our rosebuds while we may.Sadness, and gratitude run in equal measure throughout all of the song's manifestations. The title itself derives from an 1896 poem by Ernest Dowson, taken from the Roman poet, Horace, whose latin translates as:“The brief sum of life forbids us the hope of enduring long;” The film for which Mancini and Mercer furnished this deathless song, was so tragic in its portrayal of addiction, that, even as a 10 year old, I mourned for the hopelessness of Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick's doomed romance that should have produced nothing but happiness, but brought only sorrow. In the magician's hands of Bill Evans, the chordal melody seems to waft in the breeze, and Tony Bennett's voice, never more supple, interprets the wistfulness of unfulfilled longing with a seasoned perfection. The results: a collaborative triumph. Tony was quoted as saying that their recordings were “the most prestigious thing I ever did”. Quite a statement from the acknowledged master.
Why does “Bart Gets Hit by a Car” (S2E10) show the episode title on screen at the beginning, unlike nearly every other episode of The Simpsons? We think we found an answer in The Fortune Cookie (1966), the very first pairing of longtime comedy duo Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. They're the original odd couple! This forgotten movie provided the plot for this early episode of The Simpsons, and possibly much more.Also in this episode:• A classic example of “homage, French for theft”• How this movie may have inspired the origins of Lionel Hutz and Dr. Nick Riviera• When does Walter Matthau sound most like season 1 Homer in this movie?• Adam and Nate unwisely try to rewrite Billy Wilder and I.A.L.

It's Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked.This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 30th Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1957. It was held March 26th 1958 at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by Bob Hope, Rosalind Russell, James Stewart, Jack Lemmon, David Niven and Donald Duck.David Lean's The Bridge On The River Kwai won 7 awards that night, with Joshua Logan's Sayonara starring Marlon Brando receiving the most nominations.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of alcoholism, child neglect, substance abuse, addiction. Every year at the Oscars there's a movie that stands out as the film that should be the Best Picture, just for the sheer raw power of its storytelling. This is that movie. Jack Lemmon is giving a performance for the ages, the supporting cast is rock solid, and the always contrarian Blake Edwards goes for broke. This could have easily been a melodrama, but you get the sense very quickly that everyone making this movie got the impact of what they were doing here. And that's incredible, considering there's movies that come out in 2025 that can't capture the truth of addiction like this movie.

El cine, como la novela, me ha permitido estar en territorios a los que nunca iré. Puedo quedarme rodeado de miseria y pobreza en lugares en los que nunca he vivido o estar en lujosos salones que para mí son tan raros como excepcionales. Creo que me sucede como a José Luis Garci, que leo las novelas como películas y puede que vea las películas como novelas. Por eso me decepciono cuando una novela que he leído se lleva al cine, porque la heroína que yo me había imaginado resulta que es una actriz de la vida real. Decía Rafael Alberti: “respetadme, he nacido con el cine”. Y por eso dedicó poemas a Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd y a Laurel y Hardy. Respetadnos también a los que nacimos con Clint Eastwood, Jack Lemmon, Berlanga, Shirley MacLaine, Paco Raval, Brando, Coppola, Garci, Newman, López Vázquez o la Loren. El cine era una liturgia semanal y, por tanto, extraordinaria. Los lunes, en la escuela, comentábamos la película que habíamos visto el sábado o el domingo y, el martes, ...

So Walter Matthau made a very successful career playing slightly curmudgeonly but reasonably endearing older (or old) men. Here, directed by his close friend Jack Lemmon, he is cast as a much older man who is a bit curmudgeonly and (eventually) reasonably endearing old man. So really a risky casting decision. But did it pay off? Tune in and find out what we thought.
The only movie title ever named after a sound! (I think?) A romantic comedy about a recently divorced couple (Jack Lemmon & Judy Holliday) who quickly discover that being single doesn't always lead to a happier life. Co-starring Jack Carson and Kim Novak.
Happy New Year from Citizen Dame! For our final episode of 2024, we talk about the hilarious and melancholic The Apartment, directed and written by Billy Wilder, starring Jack Lemmon as an office worker who lets executives use his apartment for extramarital affairs, and Shirley Maclaine as the elevator girl he develops feelings for (without knowing she's having an affair of her own). Come for the Billy Wilder dialogue, stay for Fred MacMurray being The Worst. (Available to stream for free on Prime and Tubi. TW for discussion/depiction of attempted suicide.) We hope you have a wonderful New Year and we'll talk to y'all in 2025!

Happy Holidays from The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we discuss the great Jack Lemmon with the great Mitchell Beaupre! Our B-Sides today include Cowboy, The April Fools, Tribute, and Out to Sea. There's also a lengthy appreciation of Save the Tiger, which won Lemmon his second Oscar. The three of us try to define how exactly Lemmon so perfectly encapsulated the average, American male for so many decades, while digging into his long career, that includes both filmmaker Billy Wilder and Walter Matthau. We discuss how Cowboy was ahead of its time, how The April Fools skates by on immense, charming chemistry, and how Tribute falters due to a stunted co-lead (sorry Robby Benson!). There's a lot in this episode. A true holiday gift! We appreciate the great film critic Janet Maslin. We recount that time when Ving Rhames won a Golden Globe and called Lemmon on stage to gift him the award out of respect. There's a brief reflection on the strange career of Tribute director Bob Clark, a discovery that our greatest living cinematographer lensed 80 for Brady, and an appropriate acknowledgement that Dyan Cannon, co-star of Out to Sea, makes every film better.

Let's travel back to the 50s, when men cheated on their wives like it was a competition and the one dude who enabled them was considered a hero. Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT sports a towering 93% score in the Tomatometer, so it clearly needs to be taken down a peg.

In Kuba aß er mit Che Guevara und den Castro-Brüdern zu Abend, in Südafrika traf er Nelson Mandela, in Indien Indira Gandhi. Jack Lemmon zeichnete ihn, dafür zeichnete er Jack Lemmon. Billy Wilder war ein Weggefährte, Kirk Douglas versuchte erfolglos, ihm eine Rolle abzuluchsen, Tom Hanks findet ihn super, Robin Williams schwärmte von ihm als Kollegen und Mensch. Die Aufzählung ließe sich fortsetzen, denn der 1930 im damals ostpreußischen Tilsit geborene Armin Mueller-Stahl traf in mehr als neun Lebensjahrzehnten zahllose interessante Menschen. Bei der Zuordnung seiner Berufsbezeichnung stoßen wir schon auf die nächste Aufzählung: Weltbekannt wurde er als Schauspieler, erst in der DDR, später auch in der Bundesrepublik und noch ein bisschen später dann in den USA, was, wir wissen es, alles andere als selbstverständlich ist. Mueller-Stahl spielte, er schrieb und schon immer liebte er die Musik, neben seiner Frau Gabi die mutmaßlich zweite große Liebe seines Lebens. Auch wenn die Malerei jetzt ein wenig neidisch um die Ecke schaut, denn auch der frönt Armin Mueller-Stahl, lange schon, regelmäßig und mit anhaltendem Erfolg. So scheint es, als würden alle Begegnungen, Situationen und Talente um die Zeit im Leben dieses Menschen konkurrieren und umso schöner, dass wir uns nun auch ein bisschen davon nehmen dürfen.

EPISODE 61 - “FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1960s” - 11/11/2024 The decade of the 1960s was an exciting time in filmmaking. The stodgy studio contract system was starting to give way to a new crop of independent cinematic auteurs, often associated with the "New Hollywood" era, include: Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, John Cassavetes, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Peter Bogdanovich.
