Es una de las sagas de comedia más taquilleras de la historia del cine y esta semana ha llegado a nuestras carteleras su cuarta entrega. Nos referimos a la serie de películas de Bridget Jones, el personaje al que da vida Renée Zellweger. Os hemos preparado un reportaje resumiendo lo que ha dado de sí hasta ahora esta saga. También recordamos a uno de los directores más libres y eclécticos que ha conocido el cine como fue Robert Altman. El 20 de febrero se celebra el centenario de su nacimiento. Charlamos con el director Enrique Buleo que ha estrenado su película “Bodegón de fantasmas” y en la sección dedicada al cine del Oeste tenemos una película dirigida por el productor y magnate de la aviación Howard Hughes. Se trata de “El forastero”, un film que en su día causó un gran escándalo por la sensualidad que transmitía su protagonista femenina, la actriz Jane Russell.
EPISODE 56 - “MARJORIE REYNOLDS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 10/07/2024 Most film fanatics agree that after the Paramount Picture's holiday classic “Holiday Inn” (1942), actress MARJORIE REYNOLDS, who gave a star-turn as struggling actress Linda Mason who gets a break singing and dancing in the seasonal nightclub run by BING CROSBY, should have been a big star. However, for reasons not quite clear, she didn't rise into the stratosphere. While she had a very respectable and long career, she just didn't soar to the top, as expected. As our Star of the Month, we will take a look into Marjorie Reynolds' life and career and explore our theories on why “Holiday Inn” did not make her a major star.

This Saturday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Saturday Matinee," we start with the "Archie Andrews" show where the episode titled “Free Movie Tickets,” originally broadcasted on September 25, 1948, brings laughter and chaos. Archie Andrews, voiced by Bob Hastings, finds himself the lucky recipient of two movie tickets, leading to a humorous conflict as both Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge, played by Rosemary Rice and Gloria Mann respectively, vie for the chance to be his date. Jughead Jones, portrayed by Harlan Stone, and Archie's mother, voiced by Alice Yourman, add to the comic mix with their own quirky antics. Following the comedic start, we dive into a star-studded "Command Performance" episode from December 25, 1948, guest-hosted by Bob Hope. This special holiday broadcast features performances and skits by Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra, creating a festive atmosphere filled with song and laughter, perfect for the Christmas season. The matinee concludes with "Skippy Hollywood Theatre," presenting the episode "High Polish" from September 17, 1948. In this episode, Jane Russell stars in a gripping narrative about a young shoeshine boy in Hollywood who dreams of a bigger life amidst the stars and studio lights. The episode captures the aspirational and often harsh realities of Hollywood through a poignant story that mixes ambition with the glitz of show business. Each episode brings its unique flavor to the airwaves, combining humor, drama, and the timeless charm of radio's golden age, ensuring an entertaining afternoon for all listeners.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a witty social satire on gender and class that also serves as a celebration of female ingenuity and solidarity, decked out in beautiful brightly coloured ball gowns and diamonds. It's a love story, but not in the traditional sense; it puts female friendship front and centre, and remains one of the best buddy comedies. Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe are electric together, their friendship is obvious, they're flawless, with pitch perfect comedic timing. It remains a Golden Age Hollywood movie well ahead of its time in relation to sexuality, representation of intelligence, feminism and a celebration of pop culture. It turns 70 years old this year, can you believe?! A kiss on the hand may be quite continental... I would love to hear your thoughts on Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) !CONTACT....

By the early 1950s, Jane Russell (1921–2011) should have been forgotten. Her career was launched on what is arguably the most notorious advertising campaign in cinema history, which invited filmgoers to see Howard Hughes's The Outlaw (1943) and to "tussle with Russell." Throughout the 1940s, she was nicknamed the "motionless picture actress" and had only three films in theaters. With such a slow, inauspicious start, most aspiring actresses would have given up or faded away. Instead, Russell carved out a place for herself in Hollywood and became a memorable and enduring star. Christina Rice offers the first biography of the actress and activist perhaps most well-known for her role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). Despite the fact that her movie career was stalled for nearly a decade, Russell's filmography is respectable. She worked with some of Hollywood's most talented directors―including Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh, Nicholas Ray, and Josef von Sternberg―and held her own alongside costars such as Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mitchum, Clark Gable, Vincent Price, and Bob Hope. She also learned how to fight back against Howard Hughes, her boss for more than thirty-five years, and his marketing campaigns that exploited her physical appearance. Beyond the screen, Rice reveals Russell as a complex and confident woman. She explores the star's years as a spokeswoman for Playtex as well as her deep faith and work as a Christian vocalist. Rice also discusses Russell's leadership and patronage of the WAIF foundation, which for many years served as the fundraising arm of the International Social Service (ISS) agency. WAIF raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, successfully lobbied Congress to change laws, and resulted in the adoption of tens of thousands of orphaned children. For Russell, the work she did to help unite families overshadowed any of her onscreen achievements. On the surface, Jane Russell seemed to live a charmed life, but Rice illuminates her darker moments and her personal struggles, including her empowered reactions to the controversies surrounding her films and her feelings about being portrayed as a sex symbol. Mean...Moody...Magnificent!: Jane Russell and the Marketing of a Hollywood Legend (UP of Kentucky, 2021) offers a fresh perspective on a star whose legacy endures not simply because she forged a notable film career, but also because she effectively used her celebrity to benefit others.

La notoriété de certaines vedettes de cinéma tient parfois à peu de chose. Ainsi, que serait Cary Grant sans sa fossette au menton et Clark Gable sans sa petite moustache ? Il en va de même pour Marilyn Monroe, dont l'aura, 60 ans après sa mort, ne s'est pas encore dissipée. Mais si la star est devenue une véritable icône, c'est en partie à cause de la couleur de ses cheveux. Comme le laisse entendre le titre du film d'Howard Hawks, dans lequel elle donnait la réplique à la brune Jane Russell, "les hommes préfèrent les blondes". Qui, en effet, pourrait imaginer Marilyn sans son casque de cheveux blonds ? Et pourtant l'actrice ne fut pas toujours blonde. En effet, quand elle ne s'appelait encore que Norma Jeane Baker, ses cheveux étaient châtain. Ce qui ne l'empêche pas d'être remarquée, dans la fabrique de parachutes où elle travaille, par des photographes militaires. À partir de là, débute une carrière de mannequin qui lui permet de quitter rapidement l'usine. Elle pose alors pour des couvertures de calendriers et des magazines. Puis on lui propose de faire de la publicité pour un shampoing. Mais il y a un problème. On trouve en effet qu'elle a les cheveux trop sombres. Et c'est alors qu'elle prend la décision de les éclaircir. Elle ne fait pas les choses à moitié. Marilyn ne veut pas seulement avoir les cheveux plus clairs, elle veut devenir une "blonde platine". Comme Jean Harlow, la star qui, dès la fin des années 1920, a mis à la mode ces cheveux presque blancs, qui, pour les fans de cinéma, deviennent synonymes de "glamour". Cette métamorphose ne se fait pas sans mal. En effet, pour obtenir cette chevelure peroxydée, l'actrice doit se décolorer les cheveux très souvent, avec une solution composée en partie d'acide sulfurique. Elle doit se soumettre à ce supplice tous les quatre jours. À la la longue, ses cheveux n'y résistent pas. À tel point que, vers la fin de sa vie, Marilyn Monroe devait porter une perruque, avec laquelle elle sera d'ailleurs enterrée. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode, get swept away to an exotic locale with 1952's Macao, with Van Ice American Lager generously provided by @vannuysbeerco and @macleodale. Not even the star power of Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell could make this a hit, but for us it's all about watching these two legends playing it smooth and sexy. The convoluted plot is simply window dressing. We chose an easy drinking lager packed with flavor because it seems like something Mitchum would drink, and just the kind of refreshing beverage one would enjoy in sweltering Macao.

We are joined by self-proclaimed Muppet geek and co-host of the “Movin' Right Along” podcast, Anthony Strand, for a look at two of Groucho's solo efforts, “Double Dynamite” and “A Girl in Every Port. Despite the episode's title, we think these films are just fine…where else can you see the world's greatest comedian and the world's greatest singer do a duet on a treadmill, or watch the dad from “Hazel” cheat on the sister of Groucho's future wife. Along the way, we dump on Jane Russell, exalt Marie Wilson, and somehow claim Frank Sinatra is miscast as a character who's described as looking like Frank Sinatra. So, if you want to learn who ‘Icy Knockers' is, or the only performer besides Groucho to appear in both films, join us…you're as sick as we are.
