Our final Diana Wynyard episode has arrived all too soon! We look at her two final key roles, in Alexander Korda's film of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband (1947) and The Feminine Touch (1956), a nurse drama that's better than its silly title. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we cover the 2025 Toronto Silent Film Festival, focusing on three films built around miraculous performances, Victor Sjostrom's The Wind (1928), starring Lillian Gish, Victor Fleming's Mantrap (1926), starring Clara Bow, and Josef von Sternberg's The Last Command (1928), starring Emil Jannings (ably supported by Evelyn Brent), before turning our attention to a film that was entirely new to us, the blatantly anti-capitalist The Johnstown Flood (1926), featuring Janet Gaynor in her first major role.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    AN IDEAL HUSBAND (1947) [dir.

“RICHARD CARLSON: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” (081) - 3/31/2025 Tall, dark-haired, and handsome, RICHARD CARLSON was always a welcomed addition to any cast. From the beginning, when he was playing preppy college students opposite LANA TURNER, to his reign in the 1950s as the King of Sci-Fi thrillers, Carlson brought believability and authority to each role but also a sense of introspective thoughtfulness. You looked into his deep blue eyes and chiseled face and believed him. Whatever he was selling, we were buying. And while he never became an A-list leading man, he enjoyed a long and steady career and enhanced many a mediocre film with his special appeal. This week, we celebrate RICHARD CARLSON as our Star of the Month.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Monsters in the Machine (2016), by Steffen Hantke; Keep Watching the Skies (2009), by Bill Warren; “Richard Carlson: Albert Lea's Other Film & Television Star,” December 24, 2016, by Ed Shannon; “Today's Underrated Actor Spotlight: Richard Carlson,” June 24, 2105, by Bynum, www.thetinseltoentwins.com; “A Tribute To Richard Carlson,' January 9, 2014, www.scififilmfiesta.com; “Richard Carlson, Actor, Dies at 65,” November 27, 1977, New York Times; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned:  Desert Death (1935), starring Raymond Hatton; The Young in Heart (1938), starring Janet Gaynor, Roland Young, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr & Paulette Goddard; The Duke of West Point (1938), starring Louis Hayward & Joan Fontaine; Winter Carnival (1939), starring Ann Sheridan, Richard Carlson, & Robert Mitchum; These Glamour Girls (1939), starring Lana Turner & Lew Ayres; Dancing Co-Ed (1939), starring Lana Turner & Richard Carlson; Beyond Tomorrow (1940), starring Haley Carey & Charles Winning; No, No, Nanette (1940), starring Anna Neagle; The Howards of Virginia (1940), starring Cary Grant & Martha Scott; Back Street (1941), starring Margaret Sullavan & Charles Boyer; The Little Foxes (1941Ol staring Bette Davis & Teresa Wright; The Affairs of Martha (1942), starring Marsha Hunt & Richard Carlson; My Heart Belongs to Daddy (1942), starring Richard Carlson & Martha O'Driscoll; Fly By Night (1942) starring Richard Carlson & Nancy Kelly; Hold That Ghost (1941), starring Bud Abbot & Lou Costello; White Cargo (1942), staring Hedy Lamarr& Walter Pidgeon; Presenting Lily Mars (1943), starring Judy Garland & Van Heflin; The Man From Down Under (1943), starring Charles Laughton & Donna Reed; So Well Remembered (1947), starring John Mills & Martha Scott; Behind Locked Doors (1948), starring Richard Carlson & Lucille Bremer; The Amazing Mr. X (1948), starring Turban Bey, Lynn Bari, & Cathy O'Donnell; King Solomon's Mines (1950), starring Stewart Granger & Deborah Kerr; The Sound of Fury (1950), starring Frank Lovejoy; The Blue Veil (1951), starring Jane Wyman, Charles Laughton, & Joan Blondell; The Magnetic Monster (1953), starring Richard Carlson; It Came from Outer Space (1954), starring Richard Carlson & Barbara Rush; The Maze (1953), starring Richard Carlson & Hillary Brooke; The Creature from The Black Lagoon (1954), starring Richard Carlson & Julie Adams; All I Desire (1953), starring Barbara Stanwyck & Richard Carlson; Riders To the Stars (1954), starring William Lundigan; Appointment with a Shadow (1957), starring George Nadar; The Saga of Hemp Brown (1957), starring Rory Calhoun; Johnny Rocco (1958), starring Richard Evers & Coleen Gray; Tormented (1960), starring Richard Carlson; Kid Rodelo (1966), starring Broderick Crawford & Janet Leigh; Change of Habit (1969), starring Elvis Pressly, Mary Tyler moore, & Richard Carlson; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

My friend Maria Banson from the Brunello Bombshell newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about the connection between Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell that began with this film, the religious undertones that keep cropping up throughout the film, and some stunning cinematography that has to be seen to be believed.You can watch 7th Heaven on YouTube and be sure to check out Maria's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:Moulin Rouge! directed by Baz LuhrmannStreet Angel directed by Frank BorzageSadie Thompson directed by Raoul WalshAladdin directed by John Musker and Ron ClementsCasablanca directed by Michael CurtizAnora directed by Sean BakerAll Quiet on the Western Front directed by Lewis MilestoneAll Quiet on the Western Front directed by Edward BergerDownton Abbey (series)Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans directed by F.

During the heyday of Hollywood's studio system, stars were carefully cultivated and promoted, but at the price of their independence. This familiar narrative of Hollywood stardom receives a long-overdue shakeup in Emily Carman's new book. Far from passive victims of coercive seven-year contracts, a number of classic Hollywood's best-known actresses worked on a freelance basis within the restrictive studio system. In leveraging their stardom to play an active role in shaping their careers, female stars including Irene Dunne, Janet Gaynor, Miriam Hopkins, Carole Lombard, and Barbara Stanwyck challenged Hollywood's patriarchal structure. Through extensive, original archival research, Independent Stardom: Freelance Women in the Hollywood Studio System (U Texas Press, 2016) uncovers this hidden history of women's labor and celebrity in studio-era Hollywood. Carman weaves a compelling narrative that reveals the risks these women took in deciding to work autonomously. Additionally, she looks at actresses of color, such as Anna May Wong and Lupe Vélez, whose careers suffered from the enforced independence that resulted from being denied long-term studio contracts. Tracing the freelance phenomenon among American motion picture talent in the 1930s, Independent Stardom rethinks standard histories of Hollywood to recognize female stars as creative artists, sophisticated businesswomen, and active players in the then (as now) male-dominated film industry.

Original Air Date: Monday 3 June, 9 pm Eastern Description: A question about UFO Disclosure from a listener leads to a fascinating, hilarious and inspiring opening to this week's show. Afterwards, Dean and Phil follow up on their (ongoing) discussion surrounding the Kirk Douglas-starring musical version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by appreciating the all-too overlooked actress Susan Hampshire and by revealing something Douglas' co-star Donald Pleasance once revealed about the making of that film. After that, Dean and Phil follow up on last week's discussion about the silent classic Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans by exploring the fascinating life story of that film's star, Janet Gaynor. One new film and two Disney classics get appraised, and two Oscar-winning stars get remembered in "Celebrity Deaths"!

Just to note, Kim is ill and is recovering so we will do the review of Once as soon as she's ready. On this episode of I Am The Wiz, Wiz does an impromptu review of A Star is Born, starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, directed by William Wellman.

First story "Mr. Henry" stars Janet Gaynor and Joseph Cotton. Second story stars Ray Bidwell Collins as "Mr. Brown". Ray Collins (December 10, 1889 – July 11, 1965) was an American character actor in stock and Broadway theatre, radio, films, and television. With 900 stage roles to his credit, he became one of the most successful actors in the developing field of radio drama. A friend and associate of Orson Welles for many years, Collins went to Hollywood with the Mercury Theatre company and made his feature-film debut in Citizen Kane (1941), as Kane's ruthless political rival. Collins appeared in more than 75 films and had one of his best-remembered roles on television, as Los Angeles homicide detective Lieutenant Arthur Tragg in the CBS-TV series Perry Mason. Ray Collins, Glenn Anders and Orson Welles perform a short story written by Arthur Stander and presented on The Orson Welles Mercury Theater Show on CBS Radio December 1st, 1941.

For this special 100th episode, we're throwing it way back to the very first Academy Awards. We're discussing the first and only film to win Most Unique and Artistic Picture, why we wish that category hadn't disappeared, and how Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans makes us wish we knew more about silent film.

En himla massa stjärnor har fötts på filmhistoriens himmel, men vi tänkte fokusera på två av dem: Janet Gaynor & Barbra Streisand. Arons lillebror Staffan återvänder till podden när vi diskuterar huruvida den här historien är bäst när den handlar om film- eller musikbranschen, om den manliga huvudrollskaraktären är rörande eller mest patetisk och om någon av de här två versionerna ens är den bästa versionen.

It was not long ago that you could not go into any grocery store without hearing on the loudspeaker songs from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's version of A Star is Born. Many know that this was based partially on a 1970s film starring Barbra Streisand. But even earlier there were two other versions. The first, made in 1937, stars Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. In the first movie the leading lady has her eyes set on conquering Hollywood as an actress rather than a singer. The following version, made in 1954, is well cast with Judy Garland and James Mason in a familiar storyline but in a time when Hollywood is dominated by technicolor musicals, and is also aware of its ratings battle with television. The melancholic story of an underdog just beginning to make it big and reaching their dream life, paired with a star at the peak of their fame but struggling with alcoholism and substance abuse is a story that strikes at the heart and evidently continues to appeal to each generation.

Warner Bros executive George Feltenstein takes us through the Spring 2022 releases from the Warner Archive.  We kick  off the discussion with the March Blu-ray release of “Captains of the Clouds” (1941) starring James Cagney, Brenda Marshall, Dennis Morgan, and directed by Michael Curtiz.   Beautifully restored in Technicolor, this film has never looked so good. Next George details the David O. Selznick version of “A Star is Born” (1937) starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, and directed by William A. Wellman.  This film has been in desperate need of restoration and this new blu-ray returns it to the proper sound and visual it deserves.  And we wrap up the month with a review of the classic TV show "Head of the Class" season 4 on DVD, starring the late Howard Hesseman.  Kevin Costner rules April with Blu-ray releases of two films released in 1985.  The first is "American Flyers," followed by the cult favorite "Fandango." For May, George reviews the Blu-ray of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1941) starring Spencer Tracy in both roles, and co-starring Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner.  Next is "The Carey Treatment" (1972) starring James Coburn and Jennifer O'Neill.  And also in May is season 5 of the hit TV show "Lucifer," on Blu-ray.  We wrap up the podcast with a discussion on the recent 4K release of "Singin' In the Rain" and what it could mean for future 4K releases of Warner Bros classics.

Emmy nominated documentary producer, author, and speaker Steven C. Smith joins the podcast to discuss his book MUSIC BY MAX STEINER: THE EPIC LIFE OF HOLLYWOOD'S MOST INFLUENTIAL COMPOSER.During his illustrious career, composer Max Steiner scored over 300 films and was nominated for 24 Academy Awards.  We explore Steiner's career highlights starting with the groundbreaking King Kong (1933), before detailing his work on the beloved “Gone with the Wind” (1939) and the classic “Casablanca" (1942). We then review Max Steiner's score on two Warner Archive releases in March of 2022, starting with the 1937 version of “A Star is Born” starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March,  and the 1942 James Cagney World War II classic “Captains of the Clouds.”Mr. Smith also touches on Steiner's positive working relationships with director Michael Curtiz, Warner Bros studio boss Jack Warner, actresses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and the relentless David O. Selznick.  And we discuss Max Steiner's tireless efforts on behalf of composer residuals, something that eventually happened toward the end of his career and guaranteed his financial comfort, before briefly touching on Steiner's influence on some contemporary composers and filmmakers.And finally, Mr. Smith provides his opinion on the recent decision by the  Academy of Motion Pictures to not broadcast live the Oscar for “Best Original Score” and what that might mean for the future of the broadcast, and what Max Steiner would have thought of this decision.LINKSSteven C.

Come with me! Its old music night at the Crypt Club! Welcome back to the Post Relevant Podcast. You've arrived at episode five. Imagine that. No, really, imagine it. Are you imagining it? Its another Under the Silver Lake decode banger, as we descend into the LA underworld with our perplexed protagonist. The episode starts off with Phil telling a successful D&D story (drugs and dancing). Then we take a left turn and interview artist and liminal space dweller Anna Tanner in an attempt to understand what a thoughtful-artsy-type lady might think of this lewd movie. Finally, Phil and brother Andy wade into the Silver Lake where they eat all the cookies and follow all the balloons across the glamorous graveyard and down into the hipster mausoleum, eventually dancing the metaphorical Watusi in Batman's disco. Questions asked: Does anyone in this movie give a shit about anything? Do skunks and weed have different smells? Do you like the movie? (I'm talking directly to you). Do we have to call Topher Grace "Bar Buddy," or can we still just call him Topher Grace? What is the actual gosh darn Frequency, Kenneth? And finally, can you call sleeping off a hangover in front of Janet Gaynor's grave 'working?' I say YES. But who am I...? You only get one chance to enjoy your body, and this is that one chance! It's time to make it with the Balloon Girl, or puke trying. May the best Kurt Cobain cosplayer win! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/post-relevant999/message

How does a film created in 1937 create such a lasting impact on multiple generations for close to 100 years? A STAR IS BORN has been created into feature films 4 times (1937 GAYNOR, 1954 GARLAND, 1976 STREISAND and 2018 GAGA) and each one comes with its changes, recreations, and timeless story-telling. In this episode, Jeff and Richie dive into discussing all 4 feature films, including what changes worked, what may have not worked, and what carried throughout all 4 versions. A STAR IS BORN is constantly retold in a modern setting. Exploring the tone, plot, music and vision of each film is discussed, as well as why this has been told so many times, and what a future version of this story could look like as well.

The fable-like, poignant story, subtitled A Song of Two Humans, Sunrise is an American silent melodramatic masterpiece by German director F.W. Murnau (In his American film debut) - a beautiful, atmospheric, lyrical and poetic work of art with roots in the German Expressionist movement (from 1914 to 1924). Starring George O'Brien, Janet Gaynor, and Margaret Livingston, the story of corruption and redemption involves a rustic farmer in a romanticized rural town who falls prey to the seductive wiles of a city vamp in an illicit affair. He plots to murder his loving wife during a boat trip to the temptation-ridden city. His conscience is awakened during the attempted killing and he relents, and in the city the couple fall in love again. On their return trip, a tempestuous storm appears to drown the wife, but she is eventually found and the family is reunited and reconciled. The script was adapted from the short story "The Excursion to Tilsit," from the 1917 collection with the same title by Hermann Sudermann. Sunrise is one of the first feature films with a synchronized musical score and sound effects soundtrack. The film won the Academy Award for Unique and Artistic Picture at the very first Oscars in 1929 (this particular award was created for the film itself. The category has since been disbanded since the 30s onward). Gaynor won the first Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in the film. Sunrise is widely considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest films ever made. Many claim it to be the best picture made during the silent era. ** We do apologize for a bit of strange overlap during the episode, especially around 38.2 minutes in. We promise we're not talking over one another! Also featured on this episode is the Laurel and Hardy silent Battle of the Century!

Winner of Academy Awards® for Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Actress for Janet Gaynor, Sunrise is a spectacular cinematic experience. Director F. W. Murnau’s crowning achievement is often considered the greatest silent film ever made. It retains its power even today.

In this episode we welcome back Raquel Stecher to the show to discuss F.W. Murnau's Sunrise (1927), starring George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor, and dig deep into what makes this film such a masterpiece of visual storytelling.   Sunrise is currently #82 on AFI's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time.

The original A Star is Born (and only other Best Picture nominee besides the Lady Gaga one), is a good movie with the bones of a great movie, and the first nominee entirely in color! Screen Test of Time favorites Frederic March, Janet Gaynor, and Alfred Anjou turn in excellent performances… just not necessarily in the same film. All the same, it’s still, unquestionably, a movie… which isn’t always the case here at SToT.

One of Hollywood's staple of child actors during the 30s and 40s, Mickey Kuhn appeared alongside many top Hollywood stars including John Wayne, Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart and many more. Born in 1932, Mickey began to add to the family income at age 2 when, by chance, he was cast by Fox Studios for the movie “Change of Heart” (1934) starring the preeminent movie couple at the time, Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. In 1939, Mickey appeared as Crown Prince Augustin in  “Juarez” starring  Bette Davis and, most notably, as Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard’s son Beau in “Gone with the Wind.” “One-Take Mickey” proved quite dependable and was actively involved in several prestigious pictures during the 1940s and 50s including “One Foot in Heaven” (1941), “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” (1945), “Red River” (1948), “Broken Arrow” (1950) and “A Streetcar Named Desire” (1951). After a four-year term of duty, he returned to films and TV in 1955 and attended L.A. Valley College and Cal State Northridge on his G.I. Bill and majored in Theater Arts. As a young man, Mickey chose to leave the motion picture industry. He was hired by American Airlines in 1967 and subsequently served as a supervisor to flight attendants. He later became an administrative manager at a Boston airport and retired from the airlines in 1995. He received the Golden Boot Award for his work in westerns in 2005.

"Remember, Esther: for every dream of yours you make come true, you'll pay the price in heartbreak." The story is one that people connect with – a desire to follow your dreams, as crazy as they may be, and what happens when you make it. But with the rise of a new talent in each iteration of A Star Is Born, we also see the decline of another. Perhaps it's that emotional balance between these two journeys that makes this such a popular story to tell and retell. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our “A Star Is Born” series right at the beginning with William A. Wellman's 1937 film A Star Is Born. We talk about the origins of the film and how it was really birthed in George Cukor's 1932 film What Price Hollywood?. We look at Janet Gaynor and Fredric March as our two leads and what they bring to the table. We discuss the story issues we have with the film, notably the disappearance of our lead's family from the story for the bulk of the film, and why it feels problematic. And we look at the technical side of the film, notably the beautiful technicolor cinematography by W. Howard Greene, as well as Max Steiner's score (plus a song we didn't know was part of the film apparently). It's a great start to our series and certainly is one that sets the stage for the tale of fame and tragedy that we're going to be seeing over and over again. We have a great time discussing it, so check it out then tune in. The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins.

En este episodio de A Donde Vamos no Necesitamos Carreteras hablaremos sobre la franquicia de una historia que se ha reinventado con las décadas y que está vez viene en su versión del siglo XXI: A Star is Born. Desde su primera aparición como película en el 37 con la espléndida Janet Gaynor, hasta su última versión realizada en 2018, pasando por una versión colorida y musical de 1954 y adentrándose a la época hippie, rockera y contestataria con la versión de 1976 ,este episodio en particular se centrará en la figura del “ Remake” en el cine. En esta oportunidad, Sebastián, Nicolas y Julie se paran en orillas distintas. Mientras Sebastián defiende la idea que cada película funciona como una radiografía sobre la fama de cada época, Nicolas argumenta que hacer una película más de estas es simplemente caminar sobre lo pavimentado – aunque espera con muchas ganas una versión colombiana de “Nace una estrella “ con Manolo Cardona y Greicy Rendón. Por su parte Julie considera pertinente la última versión no solo por el reparto que tiene sino por la radiografía que la película sugiere sobre vida personal de Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (Lady Gaga) y la idea de la artista/cantante/performer moderna. ADVNNC es un podcast de 070 podcasts en colaboración con Akorde FD. Es producido por sus anfitriones Julie Fajardo, Sebastián Payán y Nicolas Torres. Cuenta con el diseño de María Elvira Espinosa, la música es de Gabriela Navas, la edición escrita de Nicolas Torres y la dirección y edición general son de Sebastián Payán.

In episode fifty-four of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about Cradley Booper's A STAR IS BORN starring Lady Gaga while comparing and contrasting the fifth iteration of the classic boom-and-bust Tinseltown tale with its older sisters: WHAT PRICE, HOLLYWOOD? (1932) with Constance Bennett, A STAR IS BORN (1937) with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, A STAR IS BORN (1954) with Judy Garland and James Mason, and A STAR IS BORN (1976) with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Ben breaks down the rising energy and ecstasy of “Shallow” shot-by-shot, Daniel gushes over Booper's open emotional borders as a filmmaker, and Brandon wonders how Babs both built her adobe desert mansion in a single night and channeled COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER in the process.

This week Sean and Steven dive deep into A Star is Born. We take the journey from the original 1937 version starring Janet Gaynor and Frederic March, to the 1954 version starring Judy Garland and James Mason, into the 1976 version, moved to the rock music scene, starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, and we finally reach the newest version starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. We talk about through lines and how this story has evolved over the years to become what it is today. Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, and enjoy! Email us at celluloidheroespod@gmail.com

Host Sonia Mansfield and her podcasting sister from another mister Margo D. from Book vs. Movie, The Best Neighbors Podcast, Not Fade Away and Fit Bottom Girls review "A Star Is Born," starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. This is the fourth remake of this story, so Sonia and Margo are off the deep end, listen as they dive in ... they're far from the shallow now. They talk about all the "A Star Is Born" films, including the 1937 version with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, the 1954 film starring Judy Garland and sad James Mason, and - of course - the 1976 movie with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

Cathy and her sister Elisabeth sing and weep their way home from the latest version of A Star is Born. Correction: This is actually the fourth version of the movie, not third as stated in this episode. The first was in 1937, with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March; the second in 1954, with Judy Garland and James Mason; the third in 1976, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

Ryan and Jason celebrate 81 years of "A STAR IS BORN" with a special retrospective examining every aspect of the 1937, 1954, 1976, and 2018 versions of the classic Cinderella melodrama. From the murky origins of its inspiration, to why Hollywood is drawn to these self-reflective themes of fame and addiction again and again, plus what makes each incarnation of this story unique and what binds them together. Ryan and Jason also detail their personal feelings about each version before landing on a LadyWatch ruling of the definitive film in the series, and who between Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Lady Gaga takes the crown as the ultimate titular Star!

In this week's episode, David posits the conspiracy theory that State Fair, remade half a dozen times in various media, is funded by the shadowy State Fair Lobby... but is his assertion as wild as it seems? Suzan believes the sole reason for this movie being made was because the camera operators figured out how to put a camera on a roller coaster. Janet Gaynor returns to the Screen Test of Time for the first time since the premier episode!

"My agent told me that he was going to make me the Janet Gaynor of England-I was going to play all the sweet roles. Whereupon, at the tender age of thirteen, I set upon the path of playing nothing but hookers.” -Ida Lupino   There are certain family names in Hollywood make you sit up and take notice. Today those names are the Fonda and the Bridges, Coppola and Sheen. It wasn't any different in the early days of Tinseltown. The names were different, but royalty was still royalty. Back then if you were a Barrymore than it caught people's attention, and if you were a Huston, then folks wanted to see what you had. For Ida Lupino, the family tree she grew out of was just as solid and sturdy as any in Hollywood, but the roots went deeper than most. She wasn't a Coppola or a Barrymore. She was a Lupino. And that name had a weight all of its own.    

Is Frederic March just a dirty old man in the original A STAR IS BORN? Can a Hollywood marriage survive when one career is on its way up and the other is in a death spiral? And why is James bitter when it comes to Janet Gaynor's character, a farm girl who wants to be in the "moving pictures?" Join us and this week's Audience of One, Larry Morgan of K-Earth 101 and The Snarkmonkey podcast, as we break down this 1937 classic. See this film and be prepared to scream at anyone who has ever doubted your dreams," Some day you won't laugh at me! I'm going out and have a real life! I'm gonna be somebody" #HoorayForHollywood

Academy Award Theater - Stars and movies with Oscars were the idea - in most cases, the movie stars recreated their academy award roles for the show, or in other cases, fine actors played the parts and gave it a different character. Both ways make for great radio drama and first class Hollywood motion picture star entertainment. The Lux Radio Theater had been doing this kind of radio show in the grandest manner for many years, but sponsor Squibb had the hubris and deep pockets to take on the competition by doing Academy Award Theater right after the Second World War. The year 1946 was pre-television, and so movies were still the major American visual art form, with radio the other popular network entertainment. In this final pre-TV time, Academy Award Theater was thought of as a premier radio production, a wow show, much like CinemaScope was to be in the 1950's when Hollywood felt the box office blow of early TV.All text on OTRCAT.com are ©2006 OTRCAT INC - All Rights Reserved.
