Dana and Tom with frequent guest, Kieran B. (Host and Creator of the Best Picture Cast), discuss Bad Day at Black Rock (1955): directed by John Sturges, written by Millard Kaufman and John McGuire, music by Andre Previn, starring Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Walter Brennan, Ernest Borgnine, and Lee Marvin.Plot Summary: In Bad Day at Black Rock, director John Sturges crafts a taut, sun-scorched thriller that unfolds with the precision of a coiled spring. When John J. Macreedy (Spencer Tracy), a stoic, one-armed stranger, arrives in a remote desert town, his quiet inquiries about a man named Komoko rattle the fragile veneer of its close-knit community. Suspicion and hostility mount as the town's residents, led by the menacing Reno Smith (Robert Ryan), close ranks to protect a dark secret buried beneath the dusty, desolate landscape.Guest:Kieran BHost and Creator of the Best Picture Cast; @bestpicturecast on X, IG, Letterboxd - BPC, Letterboxd - PersonalPrevious Episodes: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1957), Lost in Translation (2003), Gran Torino (2008), Stalag 17 (1953), Shane (1953), A Fistful of Dollars (1964), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) Revisit, 12 Angry Men (1957) Revisit, The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Revisit, Saw (2004), Up in the Air (2009)Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome to Kieran02:35 Cast and Recognition for Bad Day at Black Rock04:15 Relationship(s) with Bad Day at Black Rock10:09 What is Bad Day at Black Rock About?14:14 Is Historial Context Needed to Appreciate the Film?22:04 Plot Summary for Bad...

Every escape artist in Germany is transported to the ‘perfect' camp of Stalag Luft III. Led by Big X, they band together and come up with an ingenious plan to carry out the greatest mass escape from a POW camp. But how many will escape, and will they make it to freedom. The epitome of rainy day bank holiday viewing, John Sturges' The Great Escape is one of the greatest adventure films ever made.

Smid en besked :)Så springer vi på hestene og spænder seksløberne, når vi rider mod Mexico for at befri en fattig landsby fra Eli Wallachs onde bande i John Sturges' stjernespækkede "Magnificent Seven". Vi rider sammen med stjerner som: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Jim Coburn og Charles Bronson. Det bliver spændende, hyggeligt og maskulint.

This week on End Credits, we escape. Greatly! No we're not talking about the classic 1963 John Sturges' movie staring Steve McQueen, but it is about World War II and it is about an escape, and it was kinda great. Today, we're going to review the new bio-pic conveniently called The Great Escaper, and we're also going to talk about other movie escapes. This Wednesday, June 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Great Escapes. Movies are full of great escapes, and this week's entry falls into that category (and not just because "great" and "escape" are in the title). Whether one is escaping literal confinement, or something a little more metaphorical, there are lots of movies about one person's unyielding quest for liberation. Whether that's confinement in a room, a city, a planet, or a weird moving maze, we will talk about great movie escapes. REVIEW: The Great Escaper (2024). When the world marked the 70h anniversary of D-Day in 2014, a 90-year-old veteran named Bernie Jordan left his seaside nursing home in England, under his own steam, and made his way across the channel one last time to mark the occasion. Jordan's story has been realized in The Great Escaper, a heartfelt tribute to love and duty as seen through the eyes of a married couple played by the late-Glenda Jackson and Sir Michael Caine it what looks like his last movie. So this is an easy thumbs up, right? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

In Anlehnung an Kurosawas "Die sieben Samurai" lieferte "Die glorreichen Sieben" von John Sturges eine Blaupause für vergleichbare Story-Konstruktionen in Film und Fernsehen. Zum Klassiker-Status verhalfen dem Film neben dem All-Star-Cast um Anführer Yul Brynner sicher auch die eingängige Titelmelodie von Komponist Elmer Bernstein.

We close this week's reviews on War Films with yet another set in a POW camp. Unlike Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, this episode highlights a Hollywood classic that has been considered a beloved war film since it's release: The Great Escape. Despite both films set in a POW camp, they couldn't be any more different. Lawrence shows the brutality, humiliation and cruelty that can happen in a camp, while Escape has a more charming, entertaining disposition. In fact, The Great Escape is more of a heist/comedy with action sprinkled in than a serious film about war. It has more in common with films like Ocean's Eleven than with The Deer Hunter. Despite that, the film has plenty of charming actors who make the film entertaining for it's near 3 hour runtime and it's something that you should watch and enjoy if you haven't already. The Wiz RECOMMENDS The Great Escape

Jason loves The Gunfighters. Unreservedly and without irony. It ranked as #13 on his Top 60 of-all-time Doctor Who stories as announced in November 2023. So this episode about the novelization needs to be big, epic, as widescreen as Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas (and Deforest Kelley!) in John Sturges' Gunfight at the OK Corral. This week, Jim Sangster and I focus primarily on the behind-the-scenes production chaos behind the making of Doctor Who's third production season, which informs a lot about why Gunfighters is one of the show's last pure historicals. Jason also touches briefly on the context of the novelization, and then next week, both Jim and I are back for more rootin' tootin' Gunfighters.

The HBS hosts return to the movies to learn why men are cheaper than guns.The Magnificent Seven, produced in 1960 and directed by John Sturges, has a significant place in the history of the western in the U.S. Some have claimed that it is, in fact, the last true western. In fact, the movie practically says this itself. It is a remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film, The Seven Samurai, placing it in a different genre and a different cultural context. Kurosawa, apparently, told Sturges that he loved the film. The Magnificent Seven deals with questions of the use of force, the capitalist function of thieves and bandits, the meaning of courage, and the loss that war brings. And it has an amazing score, written by Elmer Bernstein. So why are we watching this film? “It seemed like a good idea at the time!”Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-121-hbs-goes-the-the-movies-the-magnificent-seven-1960-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Even though John Sturges is one of the most underrated directors of all time, remaking Seven Samurai could have turned out to be a big mistake if it failed. Instead, The Magnificent Seven is fun, cool and exciting...and it has a layer of sadness too. Sadness and desperation have been unintentional themes in our movies this month, actually. Still, it's hard not to make your western cool when you've got names like Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson in the cast. Who's your favourite of the Seven? What's your favourite broad gesture by a member of the cast? We discussed those things and we discussed how Mag Seven is revered now, but wasn't the blockbuster that it seems like it should have been when it came out. Perhaps the straightforward "good guy vs bad guy" western was a dying genre in 1960, even though this is similar to the greatest horse-and-gun movies in that it has more complications and angles than it seems at first. So go on location down in Mexico and do the right thing for a bunch of farmers who are just trying to avoid being killed by a bandit's henchman as we present a crackerjack episode here in Have You Ever Seen #551.

Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945) Un grupo de oficiales ingleses y norteamericanos que están prisioneros en un campo de concentración nazi, se proponen organizar una fuga en la que se verán implicados doscientos cincuenta presos. Para llevar a cabo su plan comienzan a excavar tres túneles. Se cumplen 60 años del estreno de 'La gran evasión', la estupenda película de John Sturges que contaba la fuga masiva de prisioneros en un campo de concentración alemán durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En este episodio recordaremos el caso real gracias a las maravillosas narraciones de Miguel Ángel Tocado en el que se inspiraba y la película que protagonizaron Richard Attemborough, Steve McQueen y compañía, todo esto acompañado nuevamente del gran Alberto García-Salido. Esperamos que disfrutéis plenamente de esta nueva incursión cinematográfica y sonora y no olvidéis comentar, darle me gusta al programa y seguir en las siguientes plataformas: Twitter: https://twitter.com/webbpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/webbtertainment/ Telegram: https://t.me/webbtertainment

Min 4: EL FILTRO LUCHINI: DE ÁNGELES Y DEMONIOS Analizamos el justificado batacazo en la salas de “El Exorcista: Creyente” y la entrada fuerte de “Sound of Freedom”. La película protagonizada por Jim Caviezel (La Pasión) llega a España marcada por la ruidosa controversia que ha tenido en el mercado americano por su cuestionado bombazo en taquilla. Este thriller que denuncia el imparable mercado del tráfico de menores tiene un fuerte respaldo del entorno ultra católico americano y nuestros críticos nos desvelan qué hay de bueno y de malo en el estreno más destacado de la semana. Min 14. ME HE HECHO VIRAL Pero para quienes huyan de películas tan intensas y prefieran dedicar un rato a reír y a disfrutar de lo nuestro sin complejos, resulta que la película de la semana es española, la protagoniza Blanca Suárez y se titula “Me he hecho viral”. Alberto Luchini y Raquel Hernández explican por qué lo que parecía un título menor es en realidad una comedia refrescante con secuencias tan divertidas como actuales. Min 20. PATRULLA CANINA Aunque la película de este Puente del Pilar sin duda es infantil y arrastrará a las salas a miles de niños y a sus familias. “La Patrulla canina: La Super Película” es lo más llamativo para los más pequeños, pero aquí te desvelamos por qué no es oro todo lo que parece relucir en esta apuesta animada Min 26. O CORNO Alberto Luchini analiza lo mejor de la intimista y personalísima cinta gallega que se ha llevado la Concha de Oro en San Sebastián. Min 30. SITGES SE RINDE A UN BAYONA DE OSCAR “La sociedad de la nieve” tiene serias opciones de dejar un nuevo Oscar para España”. El titular es de nuestros críticos de cabecera, que tras visionar la película de J.A. Bayona y de comprobar la doble ovación que se llevó en Sitges, ven claras opciones de estatuilla. Min 36: ESPECIAL BSO LA GRAN EVASIÓN Pero el mejor regalo de este veraniego Puente del Pilar viene en forma de tarta de cumpleaños. Celebramos los 60 años de “La Gran Evasión” rindiendo homenaje a la gloriosa banda sonora que el gran Elmer Bernstein le compuso a John Sturges. Ángel Luque y Roberto Lancha se ponen de pie para rendir honores a una joya cinéfila y musical que va mucho más allá de su “silbable” y reconocible melodía principal.

Gone too soon, Phoef and Mark share memories of getting to work with him for two seasons of the family drama “Chesapeake Shores,” where Treat played the patriarch Mick O'Brien. They also cover his five-decade career, highlighting some of the wonderful films, TV series and TV movies he appeared in. Treat worked with some of the truly great film directors, such as Sidney Lumet, Milos Forman, Steven Spielberg, John Sturges, Sergio Leone, etc. Everything is discussed from “Hair” to “Prince of the City” to “The Late Shift” to “Everwood” to “We Own This City,” and many more.

Rest In Peace, Treat (1951-2023)

For the latest episode of the Film Stories podcast, a war movie, a boxing movie, and a few problems in the making of both.1963's The Great Escape was a film that director John Sturges couldn't initially get off the ground, and he needed his success with The Magnificent Seven to make it happen. When it did? It wasn't the easiest of productions, with a lot of chopped down trees, and a star who wasn't happy with his part in the film.Sylvester Stallone wasn't initially chomping at the bit to make Rocky III meanwhile, but when he opted to make the movie, his script would reflect the difficulties he was facing himself at the time. Then there was the small matter of finding the actor to play his opponent: Clubber Lang...---Find Simon on Twitter and Bluesky at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstories Hosted on Acast.

Dan and Vicky head back to the old west for a Gunfight at the OK Corral.  The 1957 film directed by John Sturges and starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas tells the oft told tale of the legendary, albeit short, gun battle between the Earps and the Clantons and the violence, greed and passions that lead up to it.   In a wide ranging conversation, your hosts talk about the recent actors strike, Dan's show at the Bay Street Theater and lots of recently seen including Insidious: The Red Door, Mission Impossible:  Dead Reckoning Part One, Wake in Fright, the Rock Hudson doc All That Heaven Allowed, and the phenomenon that is Barbie and Oppenhemier. https://www.baystreet.org/ Follow us here: hotdatepod.com FB:  Hot Date Podcast Twitter: @HotDate726 Insta:  hotdatepod

Michael accidentally pulls a fast one and makes Pax watch a non-historical Western, John Sturges' The Walking Hills. It stars Randolph Scott and Ella Raines as two members of a party that enters the desert dunes looking for a lost wagon train and (according to legend) the gold that it was carrying. But even though the movie takes place in the 1940s, the comic Pax read does not. It's the Sixth Gun mini-series Shadow Roads.

Se cumplen 60 años del estreno de 'La gran evasión', la estupenda película de John Sturges que contaba la fuga masiva de prisioneros en un campo de concentración alemán durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En este episodio recordamos el caso real en el que se inspiraba y la película que protagonizaron Richard Attemborough, Steve McQueen y compañía. Nuestra “Enciclopedia curiosa del cine” nos cuenta esta semana cómo han sido retratadas las fiestas de San Fermín en el cine. Hemos charlado con el director Luis Tinoco, conocido hasta ahora por sus trabajos como especialista en efectos digitales en películas como 'Interestelar', de Christopher Nolan, que debuta en la realización con 'La paradoja de Antares', una película con una sola protagonista y una sola localización. Y para terminar, 'Irreversible', la película de Gaspar Noé que levantó un gran escándalo en la edición de 2002 de Festival de Cannes, es el título que os traemos esta semana en “Cine incómodo”. Una de las películas más perturbadoras de la historia del cine.

This seminal World War II classic is about to turn 60 years old and for many Americans, it's a perennial rewatch usually around this time of year.   It was directed by John Sturges and features a legendary cast including Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasance, and James Coburn.  Based upon true events, it tells the story of a large band of military officer POW's from the Allied Forces who all been moved to a new German-run prisoner camp.  What all of these POW's have in common is they have each attempted multiple times to escape from other Nazi POW camps - apparently THIS camp will be the place where they can no longer escape as the Axis forces can now keep a close eye on ALL of them in one place.  So guess what this band of POW's FIRST course of action is?  Well you know the title of the movie right? :)  Host: Geoff Gershon  Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! Westerns Season comes to a close on this week's HUGE new main show as Morgan and Jeannine return to the big retrospective format to take a look at three versions of one story! Perhaps the most famous Japanese movie in history with plenty of Western influences of it's own in Akira Kurosawa's action adventure epic SEVEN SAMURAI (1954) starring Toshiro Mifune & Takashi Shimura in the bleaker, battle hardy, melancholy movie. John Sturges' star-studded Western remake of Kurosawa's original with its own iconic theme, larger than life characters and sense of pure heroism and honour with THE MAGNFICENT SEVEN (1960) starring Yul Brynner & Steve McQueen. And Antoine Fuqua's 2016 remake of the Western, changing the motivations and character traits to its own merit and starring Denzel Washington & Chris Pratt!!

Dans une série consacrée aux montres "importantes" et d'une "provenance exceptionnelle", sera adjugée, chez Christie's, le 8 juin prochain, une montre spéciale. En effet, cette montre Rolex a appartenu, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, au lieutenant britannique Gerald Imeson, pilote de la Royal Air Force. Il s'en est servi pour planifier ce qui est resté dans l'histoire comme la "grande évasion". Cet épisode, survenu le 24 mars 1944, a d'ailleurs inspiré un film de John Sturges, avec Steve McQueen. Ce jour-là, en effet, 76 prisonniers, sur 250, ont réussi à s'évader du stalag de Sagan, en Allemagne, où ils étaient détenus. Le chemin de la liberté, pour eux, c'était un étroit tunnel de 101 mètres de longueur, pour 60 centimètres de largeur, creusé avec la plus grande peine. Malheureusement, la plupart des évadés seront repris. 50 seront exécutés par les Allemands, les autres resteront détenus jusqu'à la fin de la guerre. Le lieutenant Imeson possédait donc une montre de la marque Rolex. Et il avait choisi un modèle prestigieux. On peut s'étonner qu'un prisonnier de guerre ait pu garder un tel instrument, qui aurait pu l'aider à s'évader. C'est bien pour cette raison que, d'ordinaire, leurs geôliers allemands dépouillaient les prisonniers de leurs montres. Mais ils faisaient souvent exception pour les pilotes, en vertu d'un accord tacite. Imeson avait reçu sa montre dans un colis de la Croix Rouge. Il avait profité de l'offre faite par le fondateur de Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, qui proposait aux militaires de ne payer leurs montres qu'une fois le conflit terminé. 3.000 officiers profitèrent de cette offre, choisissant d'ailleurs, le plus souvent, un modèle plus ordinaire. La montre d'Imeson disposant d'un chronographe, il put mesurer avec précision les intervalles de temps séparant deux patrouilles. On peut donc dire que cette montre joua un rôle important dans la "grande évasion". C'est pourquoi Gerald Imeson, qui mourut en 2003, à l'âge de 85 ans, ne s'en sépara jamais. Elle est aujourd'hui estimée à une valeur comprise entre 190.000 et 375.000 euros. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Daniel Epler from The Cobwebs Podcast joins me to compare Antoine Fuqua's version of The Magnificent Seven to John Sturges' 1960 classic remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 Japanese film, Seven Samurai. We discuss the film's diverse cast of characters, talk about what we like better about the 2016 iteration of the movie, and we speculate on future versions of the Western classic.

Zdravo. V 42. epizodi 4. sezone ugotovimo, da se dobro blago samo hvali, spomnimo pa se tudi na idejo o prehranskih dopolnilih za ljudi, ki so jih ugrabili vesoljci. Vmes se sprehodimo od Chat GPT-ja preko nigerijskih princev do aviza. V poglavju se posvetimo VHS kasetam in filmom na njih, po nesreči pa najdemo komad tedna, vas povabimo na Discord in se podučimo o najbolj glasbeni ulici v Londonu (Denmark St.), ki je čisto blizu Tottenham Court Road. Ker sta v epizodi omenjena kar dva filma, seveda tudi o filmih, Kubricku in Jugoslaviji ter Kinoteki in najbrž še čem. Za zaključek ugotovimo, da je življenje ... življenje, pač.

On this week's episode, Rob and Duncan are hobnobbing with stars including Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall for The Eagle Has Landed! Based on the 1975 novel by Jack Higgins (and released only a year later) John Sturges' film tells the story of a fiendish German plot to kidnap Winston Churchill. Michael Caine is a German! Donald Sutherland is an Irishman! The whole world is topsy-turvy: but, crucially, was this the operation that changed the course of the war? Presented by Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon.

This week we're talking about the little-remembered 1972 western JOE KIDD, starring Clint Eastwood, directed by John Sturges, and written by Elmore Leonard. We'd never heard of it either, but our viewing of the film led to a great discussion of the real person who inspired the story, the New Mexican land grant activist Reies López Tijerina. Topics include: courtroom appearances, school dances, Tijerina's 1967 armed raid on the courthouse at Tierra Amarilla, the frustrating legacy of misogyny in activist groups, roles for women in westerns, calculating how much money people in old movies are actually talking about, that stupid-looking gun the one guy has, Clint's Splinter Cell moves, the complicated intersections of liberation movements and religious groups, and allergies. [Heads up: we had an audio mix-up on this recording, so Ian sounds a little funny on this one. Totally listenable, just sounds lousy. And if you think the audio quality is bad, wait until you hear the words this guy's saying! Hey, come on, I'm joking around. Hey!]   For further reading, here's the great article on Tijerina's legacy that we mention in the episode: https://alibi.com/news/44776/Who-is-Reies-Lopez-Tijerina.html   Follow Pod Casty For Me: https://twitter.com/podcastyforme https://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/ https://www.youtube.com/@podcastyforme Artwork by Jeremy Allison: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyallisonart  

Ho ho ho! It's Christmas, and what is more festive and merry than The Great Escape? A perennial Boxing Day favourite (except for Rob, who was forced on family walks), John Sturges' 1963 prisoner of war caper featured one of the great ensemble casts in cinema history: Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, James Garner, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasance and many more. They were all trying to break out of Stalag Luft III – but can the film break out of the doldrums of mediocre moviemaking? Why is there an unhelpful American stuck in the cooler? How miserable was the ending in reality? And – repeat after me – is this the mission that changed the course of the war? Presented by Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon.

We're moving on to World War II this week with a film that more prison break than war movie. Though in this case, it also happens to be 100% real, and the real story might even be more wild than the movie. It's a star-studded, solid cast with some outstanding writing. Unfortunately, the story is so sweeping, with so many characters, that even 3 hours doesn't give us quite enough to really latch onto. But despite terrible studio notes and a diva actor in the lead role, it's still one heck of a movie, even 60 years on.

Week 3 in our “Tribute to Ian” series takes us one year ahead from our “Lawrence of Arabia” episode to another epic of a different sort – John Sturges' “The Great Escape”. Please tune in as Myke from “CineMusts” joins Adam this week to discuss this rollicking film about the endurance, the need for freedom, and just what the hell is wrong with Bosely Crowther. Is this the epitome of escapes movies? Was Steve McQueen's behavior on set acceptable? How much was this film shafted at the Oscars? We discuss all this and more. Also, this week Myke recommends “Stalag 17” (available for free on Kanopy or Hoopla) & Adam recommends “It's Such a Beautiful Day” (available on The Criterion Channel). 0:00 – Intros/History with Ian 11:03 – “Stalag 17” 14:59 – “It's Such a Beautiful Day” 18:40 – “The Great Escape” Stats/History 40:56 – “The Great Escape” Plot/Thoughts 1:36:41 – Final Thoughts

Also, discussion of torture, racism, brownface, racist portrayals in movies, homophobia, war, death, grief, murder. Our next history lesson takes us on a journey across the desert through the longest film to date for this show. Clocking in at just under four hours, David Lean's masterpiece is a film that truly stands alone in its scope and technique in filmmaking. No one had ever made a movie quite like this in 1962, and it feels safe to say no one will ever make another one like it again. Because the original story of the figure behind this week's movie and the process of making the film itself were both epic in every sense of the word. And while we have some issues with the script and storytelling, the sheer beauty, magnitude and influence of this week's film are simply undeniable.

John & Dave drink whiskey and beer to re-watch an American classic that Jeff hadn't seen before, The Great Escape! Directed by John Sturges, this Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, James Garner classic is long but mighty, with some incredible detail, and is grounded by a surprisingly lurid tone for a drama with serious subject matter that you never see anymore. We drink a whole lot of beer and whiskey and discuss, once Jeff finally gets done ranting about his hatred for one-word movie titles.
