Arrancamos nueva temporada de “Sucedió una noche”, la duodécima ya, y lo hacemos inaugurando sección. Jack Bourbon dedica su serial de las mejores películas de cada género cinematográfico al cine negro. Para comenzar tenemos la película que muchos críticos y expertos consideran “la piedra fundacional” del género: “El halcón maltés” de John Huston. También vamos a recordar que hace 50 años fallecía el guionista Dalton Trumbo, uno de los famosos “diez de Hollywood” represaliados en las listas negras, y que hace 25 tenía lugar un acontecimiento que iba a cambiar el mundo tal y como lo conocíamos hasta entonces: El atentado del 11 de septiembre contra las Torres gemelas de Nueva York. Repasaremos cómo nos lo ha contado el cine. Y el primer invitado de nuestra sección “El cine de su vida” es el director Kike Maillo que precisamente ha dirigido un documental titulado “La superviviente” que tiene mucho que ver con el 11-S.
Jason Fraley celebrates the 45th anniversary of the neo-noir classic “Body Heat" by flashing back to his convo with Kathleen Turner for the 2019 Arena Stage Gala in Washington D.C. Turner shares what it was like to work with director Lawrence Kasdan on “Body Heat,” John Huston on “Prizzi's Honor,” Francis Ford Coppola on “Peggy Sue Got Married,” and Robert Zemeckis on “Romancing the Stone” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
Em plena Segunda Guerra Mundial, prisioneiros aliados são desafiados a enfrentar uma equipe de soldados nazistas em um jogo de futebol que vai muito além das quatro linhas. O campo se transforma em palco de resistência, coragem e esperança.O filme reúne um elenco de peso: Sylvester Stallone, em um papel surpreendente como goleiro, mostra sua força e determinação; Michael Caine, com sua elegância e liderança, dá o tom estratégico da trama; e, claro, o incomparável Pelé, que brilha com sua genialidade dentro de campo, levando o espetáculo para outro nível.Mais do que um simples filme esportivo, Fuga para a Vitória é uma celebração da união e da liberdade, onde o talento e a paixão pelo futebol se tornam armas contra a opressão. A presença de Pelé não só enaltece o esporte, mas também transforma o longa em um marco cultural, mostrando ao mundo a grandiosidade do “Rei do Futebol”.PIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthIntro - 0:00 Vic Tori - 4:02O que é "Fuga para a Vitória"? - 4:34Notas dos agregadores - 10:19Tirando o bode da sala - 10:56O momento da História - 24:15Futebol by Sly - 26:48Pelé no filme - 28:19Michael Caine, véio e jogando - 29:23Uma Fuga da prisão - 30:22O jogo final - 32:42A fuga final - 38:55O jogo de 1914 - 41:47Boleiros - 44:02O MO do John Huston - 45:12O método do Sly - 47:49A partida da morte - 48:30 O ego do Stallone - 50:43Bilheteria - 51:14Notas do Filmes e Games - 53:25Momento Locadora - 56:12Revelação do FGcast #435 - 1:36:56Dicas do FGcast #436 - 1:45:04
How did a wartime prison-camp football match become one of cinema's most beloved sporting stories — and just how great were the Allies of Escape to Victory?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team continues with the ultimate meeting of football and film: Escape to Victory.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn are joined by John Smith, author of Escape: A Love Letter to a Cult Football Classic, for an affectionate deep dive into the making, mythology and enduring appeal of a film they have loved since childhood.John explains how that love became a two-year research project, uncovering the remarkable stories behind the production and the extraordinary collection of actors and footballers brought together to make it.The story begins with the history, legends and earlier films that helped inspire Escape to Victory, before moving through its lengthy journey to the screen and into the hands of legendary director John Huston.It arrived at a fascinating moment. Pelé had helped bring football unprecedented attention in the United States, Sylvester Stallone had become a global star through Rocky, and the worlds of Hollywood and international football were ready to collide.And what a cast they assembled.Michael Caine. Sylvester Stallone. Pelé. Bobby Moore. Osvaldo Ardiles. Mike Summerbee. Kazimierz Deyna. Hallvar Thoresen. John Wark. Russell Osman.Jamie, Graham and John explore how the footballers were recruited, why so many members of the Ipswich Town squad became involved, and how genuine football action was combined with actors, professional players and some remarkably effective body doubles.Along the way, they head down some classic football-history and filmmaking rabbit holes — including why winger Kevin O'Callaghan was cast as a goalkeeper, the roles played by Kevin Beattie and Paul Cooper, the characters and Jean-Paul Rémy storylines that disappearedThere is also the small matter of Stallone playing in goal, Pelé designing the football sequences, Michael Caine attempting to look like an international-class defender and a half-time escape plan being abandoned because the Allies suddenly fancied their chances of completing the comeback.The episode then turns its attention to the fictional Allied XI.A team containing Pelé, Moore, Ardiles, Deyna, Summerbee and Thoresen surely possesses a touch of greatness — but can a hastily assembled collection of ageing internationals, prisoners of war and one extremely unconventional goalkeeper really be considered a great team?Jamie and Graham examine the players, the balance of the side, their performance against Germany and the cultural legacy of football's most famous fictional team before deciding where the Allies belong in the pantheon of greatness.Style of PlayManaged from the pitch by John Colby, the Allied side combines experience, improvisation, individual brilliance and extraordinary resilience.Defensively, Bobby Moore provides composure and authority, while Luis Fernandez — played by Pelé — supplies the imagination, skill and spectacular finishing. Carlos Rey brings South American flair, Terry Brady adds energy and direct running, and the wider squad offers a wonderfully unlikely mixture of international class and prison-camp resourcefulness.Tactically, however, the Allies are less convincing.They are underprepared, unbalanced and initially overwhelmed by a younger, fitter and far better-organised German side. Their goalkeeper has never previously played in goal, their star forward is carrying an injury, and their player-manager appears to be developing the tactical plan while the match is taking place.But when the stakes are at their highest, individual talent and collective spirit take over.The result is a side built less upon tactical sophistication than courage, defiance, improvisation and the irresistible demands of the Hollywood comeback.
Associate producer of DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST (1991) and legendary film programmer FLOYD WEBB is back on the podcast with a pair of movies set in Africa, but only one of them is filmed there. It shouldn't be too hard to guess which one. First, Mory and Anta, a pair of young lovers dream of leaving the dusty streets of Dakar in Senegal for their fantasies of Paris in TOUKI BOUKI (1973). Director Djibril Diop Mambéty's visual masterpiece starts out hyper realistic but becomes more hallucinatory as Mory and Anta plan their escape. Emergency guest host Darren Norris says that it feels like somebody is telling you their dream. The image of Mory and Anta riding on a motorcycle with a zebu steer skull attached to the handlebars was recreated by Beyoncé and Jay-Z to promote their 2018 world tour and the movie was named the 66th greatest film of all time on Sight and Sound's Critic's Poll in 2022. Streaming on Criterion and HBOMax. Then Richard Widmark is a Viking conman and Sidney Poitier is a Moorish King and their both after "The Mother of All Voices," a bell made with half of the gold in all the world, in THE LONG SHIPS (1964), an historical epic that's a little heavy on the cheese while being groundbreaking in actually having a Black person portray the ruler of an empire. Directed by Jack Cardiff, the master of Technicolor who was the director of photography of Powell and Pressberger's visual feasts THE RED SHOES (1948), A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (46), and BLACK NARCISSUS (47) along with John Huston's THE AFRICAN QUEEN (51). Hey, he also shot Rambo and Conan sequels in the 80s. Also starring Russ Tamblyn in Viking hotpants and Rosanna Schiaffino in the outfit that inspired Princess Leia's geddup from RETURN OF THE JEDI. Streaming on tubi. Philena couldn't make it becasue she can't deal with the animal snuff no matter how artfully filmed the graphic slaughter of goats and steers may be, and her dad Greg is on assignment, but so they sent their cousin DARREN NORRIS from the CULTURAL FUTURES EXCHANGE podcast as an emergency guest host!

Jaume Segalés y su equipo analizan los temas de actualidad y comentan la agenda cultural. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos:Ciclo ‘Zarzuela en La Latina' de L'Operamore Ya estamos en uno de los momentos más castizos del año en Madrid. En plenas fiestas de San Cayetano, San Lorenzo y La Paloma, podemos disfrutar del ciclo de verano ‘Zarzuela en La Latina' de la productora L'Operamore. El Teatro La Latina (Plaza de la Cebada 2), acoge, durante todo el verano, los conciertos de siete títulos clásicos del repertorio lírico español, con especial protagonismo del género chico, la zarzuela madrileña y la zarzuela grande, además de la ópera ‘La Traviata' como cierre del festival. Todos ellos interpretados con voces y orquesta en directo y con funciones de miércoles a sábado a las 20:00 y los domingos a las 19:00. Este fin de semana es el turno de la tercera pieza del ciclo, ‘La Revoltosa', obra cumbre del género que, con música del maestro Ruperto Chapí, está a las puertas de celebrar su 130 aniversario. Le seguirá la célebre ‘La verbena de la Paloma', que se va a representar los mismos días de la fiesta que le da nombre. Y posteriormente será el turno de: ‘El barberillo de Lavapiés', ‘Luisa Fernanda', ‘La tabernera del puerto' y ‘La Traviata'. Entrevistamos al barítono Marco Moncloa, director de la compañía L'Operamore.Mercado del automóvil Continúa mostrando una evolución positiva. Las matriculaciones de turismos crecieron un 3,7% en julio, hasta alcanzar las 101.949 unidades, encadenando cinco meses consecutivos por encima de las 100.000 ventas y consolidando la recuperación del sector. El buen comportamiento del mercado se ha extendido a todos los canales de venta. Los particulares siguen concentrando la mayor parte de las matriculaciones, aunque las compras de empresas y, especialmente, de compañías de alquiler también mantienen una evolución positiva durante la campaña de verano. Recogemos la valoración del director de comunicación de Faconauto, Raúl Morales, sobre el balance actual de la venta de vehículos. Entre los modelos más demandados, el Dacia Sandero se mantiene como el coche más vendido de España tanto en julio como en el acumulado del año, seguido por el Seat Ibiza, que ocupa la segunda posición.Sección de cine clásico Es sesión continua Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre 'El viento y león' ('The Wind and the Lion'). Película estadounidense de 1975 dirigida por John Milius que combina aventuras, acción y drama histórico. Contó con un gran y extenso elenco encabezado por Sean Connery, Candice Bergen, Brian Keith, John Huston y Geoffrey Lewis. Su trama, inspirada en un hecho real, se desarrolla a principios del siglo XX. El jefe de los bereberes El Raisuni, secuestra en Tánger a una bella viuda estadounidense y a sus hijos para pedir un fuerte rescate. Este hecho desencadena un conflicto diplomático en el que se verán involucrados el gobierno americano (Theodore Roosevelt: 1901-1909), tropas alemanas y diversas facciones del sultanato de Marruecos. El rodaje se llevó a cabo en España, en las ciudades de Sevilla, Almería, y Madrid para las escenas de Tánger y Fez. Para las escenas del desierto Milius uso localizaciones de Almería que ya habían sido usadas en otras películas históricas como 'Lawrence de Arabia' y 'El Cid', además de muchos Spaghetti Westerns. La escena de Yellowstone donde Roosevelt da su discurso fue filmada en la Meseta Central, al norte de Madrid. Milius volvería a usar estos paisajes en su película, de 1982, 'Conan el Bárbaro'. Los marines de la escena del ataque al palacio de Tánger eran en su mayoría soldados españoles. En la ciudad de Madrid se rodaron escenas en el Hotel Palace, en el Parque de El Retiro y en la estación de Delicias. La música de 'El viento y el león fue' fue compuesta por Jerry Goldsmith, que usó una gran variedad de percusión e instrumentos típicos de Marruecos. Está considerada una de las mejores composiciones de su carrera y el American Film Institute la incluye en la lista de mejores músicas de cine.

Hollywood And Horsepower Show with Mark Otto From Casablanca to the Cutting Room with guests Michael Blowen and Buck Wilson From Casablanca to the Cutting Room: Hollywood Stories, Movie Legends, and the Restaurants That Remember Summary Hollywood's Vanishing Creative Community Marc Otto welcomes former Boston Globe film critic Michael Blowen and movie enthusiast Buck Wilson for a wide-ranging conversation about classic cinema, studio culture, and the relationships that shaped Hollywood history. Blowen describes the old studio environment as a working community where writers, actors, directors, and critics could form genuine relationships and help one another. His memories of John Huston, Jack Nicholson, Julius J. Epstein, and the storytellers gathered at Epstein's Beverly Hills dinners reveal a Hollywood built as much on conversation and trust as on formal production. The guests contrast that atmosphere with a modern industry they see as more controlled, compartmentalized, and promotional. They also emphasize that conflict on a set was not necessarily a sign of failure, because strong films could emerge from arguments, creative tension, and competing ideas. Throughout the discussion, collaboration is presented as one of the essential forces behind enduring entertainment. Why Casablanca Became an Evergreen Casablanca becomes the central thread of the episode because it is the favorite movie of both Marc and Buck and is closely connected with Michael's friendship with screenwriter Julius J. Epstein. Michael explains that the screenplay was created through a collaborative studio process involving Julius and Philip Epstein, Howard Koch, Casey Robinson, and other contributors. He recalls that Epstein regarded it as simply another studio assignment and was surprised by its later cultural importance. The group discusses Harvard screenings, the film's gradual growth after its initial release, its memorable dialogue, its wartime themes, and the layered moral conflict beneath its romantic story. Marc also describes production documents and budget information that Michael shared with him, including cast and writer salaries and disputes over the film's moral implications. Their conversation presents Casablanca as a movie whose reputation grew because its writing, performances, music, editing, historical moment, and accidental creative discoveries all came together. Movies That Found Their Audience Later The guests explore how many famous movies were not immediate successes and only later became classics. Michael points to Casablanca, A Christmas Story, and Citizen Kane as films that developed audiences through rereleases, television, college traditions, or long-term critical appreciation. Marc describes his own delayed appreciation of Citizen Kane and compares the experience to learning to hear the complexity of the Beatles. Buck openly says he still does not like Citizen Kane, leading to a discussion of the intangible qualities that make a work connect with one viewer but not another. The episode also touches on Tommy Boy, Three Men and a Little Lady, Home Alone, Billy Jack, The Born Losers, and The Pope of Greenwich Village. Together, these examples show how timing, competition, distribution, cultural context, and personal perspective can matter as much as opening-weekend performance. Deals, Theme Songs, and Unexpected Fortunes The conversation moves behind the business side of entertainment through stories about contracts, percentages, music rights, and studio employment. Buck recounts how Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne created “Three Coins in the Fountain” with almost no information and later discovered that no one had secured the studio's ownership of the song. Michael tells how Alec Guinness accepted a percentage of Star Wars and later said the decision paid for his retirement. He also recalls Richard Brooks narrowly missing the chance to purchase lifetime rights to “Rock Around the Clock” for an additional $500. Marc adds the story of the Cheers theme song becoming an iconic last-minute replacement. These anecdotes reinforce the episode's recurring idea that small decisions, overlooked details, and unplanned substitutions can become some of the most important parts of entertainment history. Restaurants as Places Where Stories Live After Michael leaves, Marc and Buck connect Hollywood history with restaurants, travel, friendship, and personal memory. They discuss Musso & Frank Grill, The Brown Derby, The Palm, St. Elmo Steak House, Malone's, Win Schuler's, Eddie Merlot's, and Tony's Steak and Seafood as places tied to careers, family experiences, relationships, and memorable evenings. Buck recalls disliking formal restaurant outings as a child before learning to appreciate the Brown Derby, while Marc describes teaching his children the etiquette they absorbed from dining with adults. Buck tells the story of marrying Trina during a dinner in the wine cellar at St. Elmo, and Marc explains why The Palm Miami and Eddie Merlot's carry emotional significance for him. The discussion suggests that restaurants often serve as unofficial clubhouses where people decompress after work, exchange stories, form relationships, and preserve the social bonds of an industry. The Invisible Art That Saves a Film The episode closes with Buck's story about a deleted scene from Save the Tiger that Jack Lemmon considered some of his best acting. Although the scene was powerful on its own, it was removed because it interrupted the film's momentum, illustrating the discipline required to sacrifice strong material for the larger work. Marc expands the point by describing editing as an underappreciated art equal in importance to acting and cinematography. He notes that filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Judd Apatow are valued for their ability to recognize useful pieces and assemble them into a coherent whole. The traditional phrase “cutting-room floor” becomes a reminder of the physical process by which film was once cut and spliced. The closing lesson is that audiences often experience only the finished harmony, while the choices, arguments, discarded scenes, and invisible craftsmanship behind it remain untold.
I Is Another marks Felix Randau's return to the Locarno Film Festival, where the film premieres in competition. Inspired by the true story of Felix Kersten, personal masseur to Heinrich Himmler, we discuss why Randau rejected a conventional hero narrative in favor of a morally ambiguous portrait, exploring the blurred line between truth, history, and the stories we choose to believe.We also discuss antiheroes, historical storytelling, filmmaking in Germany, and the films that shaped Felix's love of cinema, including The African Queen, Heat, The Third Man, and the work of John Huston, Michael Mann, François Truffaut, and Fritz Lang.At its core, our conversation is about resisting simple answers, embracing moral complexity, and recognizing that history is often shaped as much by storytelling as it is by fact.

Fernanda Rossini"Diari"Matematica avanzata e Diario di preghiera.Flannery O'ConnorEdizioni Areswww.edizioniares.itPrefazione di Benedetta CentovalliTraduzione di Fernanda Rossini e Alessandro Matone«Voglio vivere – non funzionare». Sono diari di lotta, come li definisce Benedetta Centovalli nella sua Prefazione, i due quaderni che Flannery O'Connor tiene durante gli anni di studio prima a Milledgeville poi a Iowa City e che sono riuniti per la prima volta in questa edizione a cura di Fernanda Rossini e Alessandro Matone.Il primo quaderno, pubblicato negli Stati Uniti nel 2017 e finora inedito in Italia, corre lungo quaranta giorni, tra dicembre 1943 e febbraio 1944, e si intitola Higher Mathematics. Due anni separano questo primo diario da A Prayer Journal sulla cui copertina campeggiano le due date “Gennaio 1946 – Settembre 1947”.In questi diari la “lotta” di Flannery O'Connor si esprime in un dialogo libero e serrato con Dio in cui dalle vicende normali della quotidianità emergono desideri, delusioni e mortificazioni, la volontà di far coincidere il suo essere cattolica e artista, e una tensione all'infinito che il limite della vita insieme sconfessa ed esalta.E proprio nel senso della dipendenza da Dio e nella consapevolezza che la sua vita fa parte di un disegno più grande, il suo essere scrittrice trova significato e bellezza: «Caro Dio, voglio scrivere un romanzo, un buon romanzo».Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) cresce tra Savannah e Milledgeville, in Georgia. In contatto con alcune delle figure letterarie più importanti del Novecento, la sua vocazione artistica, che si manifesta con sorprendente precocità, matura nel corso di scrittura creativa alla University of Iowa. Il 1952 è l'anno in cui esordisce con il suo primo romanzo Wise Blood (La saggezza nel sangue) e in cui le viene diagnosticato il lupus, una malattia che eredita dal padre. La sua carriera letteraria prende rapidamente il volo grazie ai racconti raccolti nel 1955 in A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories (Un brav'uomo è difficile da trovare ed altre storie). La seconda raccolta di racconti sarà pubblicata postuma nel 1965 con il titolo Everything That Rises Must Converge (Punto Omega); mentre il suo secondo romanzo, The Violent Bear It Away (Il cielo è dei violenti), è pubblicato nel 1960. L'edizione dei suoi Collected Works vince il National Book Award (1972) e nel 1979 esce il film Wise Blood diretto da John Huston e tratto dall'omonimo romanzo. Oggi Flannery O'Connor è considerata una delle più grandi scrittrici americane del Novecento. In catalogo Ares anche Flannery O'Connor. Vita, opere, incontri di Fernanda Rossini, con un invito alla lettura di Daniele Mencarelli.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Jaume Segalés y su equipo analizan los temas de actualidad y comentan la agenda cultural.‘Alá!

Iré' fusiona la danza contemporánea, la urbana y el electro-flamenco con el flamenco más puro, tomando como hilo conductor el último trabajo discográfico de Rafael Amargo, Flamencograma, del cual se interpretan varios temas. El repertorio sonoro también incluye una canción inédita de Diego el Cigala; poemas de Federico García Lorca, José María Pemán y Rafael de León; y clásicos universales como ‘Ne me quitte pas' junto a composiciones inéditas del propio Rafael Amargo.Sección de cine clásico Es sesión continua Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre Evasión o victoria (Escape to Victory).

We're joined by our friend, drag legend Love Connie for a look deep into the abyss. We watched Giulio Paradisi's unhinged 1979 shit show, The Visitor, and found that the abyss stares back. This is not an easy movie to explain. It is stacked with some of Hollywood's heaviest hitters in the cast: John Huston, Shelley Winters, Mel Ferrer, Sam Peckinpah, and Glenn Ford and no one can explain why that is. It's not even clear if any of these people even know what's happening. They're just happy to be here. Meanwhile, an American TV writer who is lucky enough to be fluent in Italian struggles to translate ideas from the director and producer into something that makes sense and ultimately gives in to their nonsensical demands as the director's vision for The Visitor is a series of images in his head that he thinks are cool and a producer's vision to rip off as many horror movies of the 1970s as possible in a single movie. In the end, nothing makes sense, the movie looks amazing, features a killer score, but just kind of meanders through hammy performances, nonsense dialog, and a psychedelic ending that does absolutely nothing to tie up whatever passes for a plot. In spite of all of this, The Visitor is mersmerizing train wreck of a movie to behold. If The Visitor is about anything, as near as this writer can summarize, it concerns a struggle between cosmic forces of good evil who wage a secret war. One side wishes to birth a pair of children who will come together to resurrect an ancient evil alien who will destroy everything. The other side opposes them, seeking to save the life of an innocent girl who commands the powers of evil and is destined to usher in a dark age for the universe. That is nominally what this movie is about. What happens in this movie is another matter entirely.

Everything old is new again this week on Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: MOANA (2026). If you've seen "Moana" (2016), you've seen "Moana." Disney's going back to the animation well one more time for their latest live-action remake. The songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda are the stars again, but newcomer Catherine Laga'aia has an appealing presence in the title role. Dwayne Johnson is back as the demigod Maui (of course). In theaters. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING: WAS IT GREAT OR WERE YOU 8?. This is our favorite game to play. This time, Alonso chose a film from his childhood to see how it holds up today. Sean Connery and Michael Caine co-star in this 1975 action epic from legendary director John Huston. If you've seen it, is it still great? Rentable and streaming in a variety of places. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to talk about always including early reactions to Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" (we're seeing it Monday morning and will have an out-of-the-theater reaction), Emmy nominations, the new "Dune: Part Three" trailer, Louise Lasser and more.

Hollywood giant John Huston directs Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone and – wait – Pelé, in this sports-war drama, reimagining the 1942 “Death Match”.

A star studded cast, actual Satanists, and intense of focus on melting said Satanists creates what has been called "the ultimate cult movie." Not ultimate in the way that's it's good, but in the way that it's singular in its existence and how it would impact the futures of horror and its stars. Bigfoot Ben rejoins Brian and Steve to talk about another Ernest Borgnine film. This time he brings Ida Lupino, Tom Skerritt, John Travolta and William Shatner along for a romp across the American south.

Original Release Date: Monday 15 June 2026 Description: In a rather shocking cold open, Phil reveals not only that he has World Cup Fever, but also that he is genuinely thrilled about the early tournament achievement accomplished by Team Canada! Brief remembrances of artist David Hockney and journalist Gene Shalit (both of whom died during the past few days) are offered. Then, things turn dark, as Dean and Phil explore some of the shabbiest corners of show business, with the latest on the impending Paramount merger with Warner Bros. and the return of the It Ends With Us lawsuit between director Justin Baldoni and star Blake Lively. Last week Dean and Phil talked about actress Ann Savage, who starred in Dean's all-time favorite My Winnipeg. This week, Phil reveals to Dean that the Academy Museum will be hosting a “Weekend with Guy Maddin” featuring four of this master filmmaker's greatest works. Dean convinces Phil to attend the entire weekend. A couple weeks back, Dean and Phil discussed the all-time classic Some Like it Hot and in so doing, Dean made some comments about that film's indelible supporting player Joe E. Brown that inspired friend of the show Maurice Terenzio to hunt and peck his way through a lengthy, fascinating and rewarding missive about this great comic actor (and humanitarian). Film noir has been foremost on Phil's mind of late, and he offers detailed appreciations for two of his all-time favorite actors: Sterling Hayden (in the process analyzing the revered Nicholas Ray-directed and Joan Crawford-starring western Johnny Guitar and the classic John Huston crime procedural The Asphalt Jungle) and Veronica Lake (with particular attention paid to the Raymond Chandler original The Blue Dahlia). Finally, it's no secret that Dean loves action, and he offers a full report on the just-released action film The Furious.
This week we have a look at the 1973 film Battle for the Planet of the Apes. This is Episode 486! Battle for the Planet of the Apes is a 1973 American science fiction film directed by J.

In the film, after conquering the oppressive humans, Caesar (McDowall) tries to keep the peace amongst the humans and apes, but uprisings endure.Battle for the Planet of the Apes was released in the United States on June 13, 1973, by 20th Century-Fox.

México no solo ha sido el patio trasero de los sets de filmación de Hollywood; ha sido el escenario de leyendas urbanas, accidentes catastróficos y conspiraciones que todavía nos ponen los pelos de punta. ¿Sabías que filmar en suelo mexicano a veces sale "muy caro" en términos de mala suerte?

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.

“MAGGIE McNAMARA: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 4/06/2026 (134) The history of Hollywood is filled with stories of actors who experienced meteoric rises and then faded into obscurity just as quickly. Among the most poignant examples of this is the life of MAGGIE McNAMARA, an actress whose career began with remarkable promise but ended in obscurity and tragedy. With her pixie haircut, big doe eyes, lithe frame, and graceful moves, MAGGIE McNAMARA was poised to join the likes of AUDREY HEPBURN and LESLIE CARON as the new stylish gamine that was fashionable in movies in the 1950s. McNamara, who had one of the most auspicious starts in Hollywood history, earning an Academy Award nomination for her very first film, The Moon Is Blue, was a talented, intelligent young woman who had a mind and opinions of her own. And it might have been her strong-willed nature that contributed to her downfall. Join us this week as we discuss her life and career, as we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

Director John Huston lived the adventurous life that was frequently depicted in his movies. As a young man, he was made an honorary lieutenant in the Mexican army. He was nearly shot during a poker game and challenged to a duel in the middle of the street. His thrill-seeking antics soon turned fatal, when he accidentally struck and killed a woman with his car while driving down Sunset Boulevard. He ran off to London to lay low, but soon found himself with no job, no money, no prospects–and no choice but to live on the streets and beg for change.

Anjelica Huston has lived many lives, all with grace and charisma. As the daughter of John Huston (director of The African Queen, The Maltese Falcon, and more) she was movie royalty from birth. But she grew up in rural Ireland and went to high school in Swinging-Sixties London. That meant she developed a set of values far removed from Hollywood high society. Her first career was as a high-end fashion model, a favorite subject of Richard Avedon and later a muse of Halston. But she had always wanted to be a movie actress, and she spent time in the trenches, working on her craft in classes and smaller roles before her Oscar-winning turn in Prizzi's Honor. Right as she was leaving the photo studio for the movie studio, she met Jack Nicholson: "he made me laugh," she tells Alec. The couple defined Hollywood cool for almost two decades. Huston tells Alec the story of all of her transitions -- romantic, professional, and geographic. Her two wonderful memoirs are A Story Lately Told and Watch Me. Originally aired April 7th, 2020.

Glenn Danzig named his punk band after one of the most cursed Hollywood films of all time. The Misfits was where actor Montgomery Clift, permanently disfigured from a car accident, tried in vain to restart his stalled career. The director, John Huston, lost the film's entire production budget at a craps table. The lead actor, Clark Gable, suffered a heart attack the day after shooting ended and died ten days later. But was there any truth to the rumor that Gable was driven to an early grave not because of a grueling shoot or poor health, but by his demanding co-star, Marilyn Monroe?
