RENCONTRES - Catherine Schwaab reçoit : Marie Mahé, auteur et metteure en scène de "Viril(e )s", Benoît Solès, acteur, auteur et metteur en scène, "22 minutes, le pardon peut-il changer une vie ?", François Kasbi, auteur de "Mes chéries" Maria de Medeiros, actrice, metteur en scène. À propos du livre : « Mes chéries: Femmes écrivains » paru aux éditions PARIS "L'homme de sa vie, la femme de ses rêves - et une fois de plus, la vie gâche le scénario" : Joseph L. Mankiewicz a en partie raison, il a juste oublié... les livres. Qui corrigent, parfois, la vie. Parfois en effet, "la femme de ses rêves" - c'est-à-dire l'écrivain femme qui nous comble - existe. Elle a écrit. François Kasbi s'en souvient. Voici ses souvenirs de lectures de ces « femmes de ses rêves ». Qui ont construit, habité... ses rêves - et sa vie. Et, bientôt (nous l'espérons) : la vôtre. Quelles femmes écrivains ? Une centaine d'évocations ou portraits : des connues, voire classiques (Virginia Woolf, Elsa Morante, Sylvia Plath, Anna Akhmatova, Clarice Lispector, Elfriede Jelinek, Nathalie Sarraute, etc. ), des méconnues (les plus nombreuses, bien sûr : Maile Meloy, Soledad Puertolas, Sheila Heti, Eimar McBride, Ann Beattie, etc. ), des reconnues (Camille Laurens, Dominique Aury, Joan Didion, Catherine Cusset, etc.). Tantôt le charme est convoqué, tantôt le génie, parfois les deux - mais, tout le temps : la littérature.

durée : 00:06:51 - Le masque et la plume - par : Rebecca Manzoni - Inspiré par le cinéma de Joseph L. Mankiewicz, "The Christophers" de Steven Soderbergh confronte deux générations au cœur d'une maison labyrinthique. Une réflexion sur la manipulation, l'argent et le processus artistique. "Brillant", "merveilleux", "fascinant", le film a séduit les critiques. - réalisation : Stéphane Le Guennec, Ilinca Negulesco Vous aimez ce podcast ?

Cʹest Cendrillon qui finit assassinée par son prince. Un classique du cinéma, adulé, encensé. Normal, cʹest Joseph Leo Mankiewicz qui signe ce chef-dʹœuvre sorti en 1954, intitulé La Comtesse aux Pieds Nus, The Barefoot Contessa. Lʹhistoire est celle dʹune jeune femme, madrilène, fantastique danseuse, recrutée par un millionnaire pour les besoins dʹun film, qui devient une star, puis épouse un Comte impuissant, tombe enceinte du domestique et meurt. " Jʹai essayé de faire un conte de fées qui corresponde à la vie dʹaujourdʹhui, une version amère de Cendrillon. Le prince charmant aurait dû, à la fin, se révéler homosexuel, mais je ne voulais pas aller aussi loin. " confesse Mankiewicz. Vous lʹentendez, le propos est assez subversif. Dʹautant que le réalisateur sʹamuse à attaquer le tout Hollywood, sa chasse aux sorcières, son système pyramidal, la jet-set, la noblesse européenne vieillissante et quelques producteurs tout puissants dans la foulée. Cʹest un film porté de bout en bout par son réalisateur qui vient de fonder sa propre maison de production Figaro Inc., Figaro Incorporation. Construits en flash-backs, le film propose un magnifique portait de femme porté par la présence magnétique dʹAva Gardner. Un rôle clé, marquant, à la fois proche et éloigné de la réalité. Elle y est tour à tour exceptionnellement fragile, forte, folle, amoureuse, déprimée, magnifique. A ses côté, Humphrey Bogart dans le rôle dʹun metteur-en-scène ami, sorte de doublure visuelle du réalisateur. Ne tardons pas. La comtesse marche pieds nus dans cette success story complètement pervertie, dans un film placé sous le signe de la fatalité et de la tragédie.

“That Bacardi flavor, it certainly makes a difference, doesn't it?” Guys and Dolls (1955) written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra, Vivian Blaine, Stubby Kaye and Sheldon Leonard Next Time: Eraserhead (1977)

"El pasado nunca muere, no es ni siquiera pasado", decía el Premio Nobel de Literatura, Wiliiam Faulkner en su "Réquiem por una monja" en 1951. Esta frase la repetía mucho el escritor español Javier Marías, que tenía una auténtica obsesión por "El fantasma y la señora Muir". Esta novela de una escritora irlandesa. Josephine A. C. Leslie (1898-1979), la publicó en 1945 con el seudónimo de un nombre que podría ser de un hombre, R. A. Dick. La película que hizo sobre ella, Joseph L. Mankiewicz con la actriz Gene Tierney y el actor Rex Harrison, junto a Natalie Wood de niña y el actor suicidado en un hotel de Castelldefels, George Sanders, se considera ahora una de las mejores de la historia del cine. "El fantasma y la señor Muir" nos muestra a una joven viuda que se aleja de la molesta familia de su difunto marido, para empezar una nueva vida con su hija al lado del mar. Allí se encuentra con el fantasma de un capitán de barco que vivía en esa casa. Su aparición, lejos de producir terror, da la impresión de que estamos ante un comedia, que pronto se convierte en melodrama. Para autores como Javier Marías, el fantasma no es más que un reflejo del deseo insatisfecho, la representación imaginaria de un amor perfecto que nunca existió. Es una historia desoladora, a pesar de su final feliz. Al escritor español le recuerda a su maestro Juan Benet y su idea de que el amor llega siempre demasiado tarde.. En este programa comentamos esta historia "Al Trasluz" del Amor verdadero que está en la eternidad con Dios en Cristo Jesús. Escuchamos fragmentos del libro leído por Eugenio Barona y escenas de la versión doblada al castellano de la película. José de Segovia habla con la música de fondo de la banda sonora de Bernard Herrmann y John Barry para el relato semejante de Richard Matheson, "En algún lugar del tiempo" (1980). Las canciones son de los grupos ingleses The Police, "Espíritus en el mundo material" (Spirits In The Material World 1981) y The Psychedelic Furs, "El fantasma en ti" (The Ghost In You 1984). El diseño sonoro y la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro.

This week on The Shiver Show, Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn cinch up their trench coats once again and step into the shadowy world of wartime espionage with “Five Fingers” from Lux Radio Theatre (1952).Starring the incomparable James Mason, reprising his film role, this stylish spy drama is based on the real-life story of the infamous spy with the code name Cicero. Mason plays Ulysses Diello, a suave and deeply opportunistic valet working at the British Embassy in Ankara during World War II. By day, he's the model servant. By night, he's photographing top-secret documents and selling them to the Germans. Loyalty is negotiable, and everyone—especially Diello—has a price.Mary and Greg unpack the fascinating true story of Albanian valet Elyesa Bazna, whose daring espionage earned him a fortune… paid in counterfeit money. Not exactly a retirement plan. They also explore the film's legacy, from its glamorous 1952 cinema release (directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz) and shot in Istanbul.Expect clipped accents, coded messages, and plenty of intrigue—though perhaps not perfect sound quality this time! Still, Mason's velvet performance carries the day. Please join us for this terrific spy thriller. Thank you for listening!   If you like the show, please share us with your friends and family AND give us a review!

In this episode of Rewatching Oscar, I dive into one of the greatest films ever made about the theatre, stardom, and the razor-sharp ambition lurking behind the curtain: All About Eve. Released in 1950 and starring the legendary Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, and Thelma Ritter, this Oscar-winning classic isn't just a masterclass in acting—it's a biting, witty, and surprisingly timeless take on fame, friendship, manipulation, and power.We'll explore the film's iconic performances, the brilliance of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's script, the unforgettable character arcs of Margo and Eve, and the film's lasting impact on pop culture. From the razor-sharp dialogue to that haunting, cyclical ending—this episode covers it all. I even spotlight a few of my favourite scenes (with audio clips!) and break down how this film still resonates in today's celebrity-obsessed world. Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar for 1950? Listen and find out what film critic Jack Ferdman thinks, and which film he chooses for his Rewatch Oscar of that year.So fasten your seatbelts—it's going to be a bumpy night on Rewatching Oscar!

Mankiewicz, cinematography by Milton Krasner, music by Alfred Newman, starring Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe, and Thelma Ritter.Plot Summary: All About Eve is a classic drama about ambition, fame, and betrayal in the world of theater.

But over time, Margo and her friends—including her playwright friend Lloyd Richards (Hugh Marlowe), his wife Karen (Celeste Holm), and theater critic Addison DeWitt (George Sanders)—realize that Eve has bigger ambitions. She wants Margo's fame, her friends, and even her roles on stage.As Eve schemes her way to the top, Margo must face her own insecurities about aging and love, especially with her younger boyfriend Bill Sampson (Gary Merrill).

In this special episode, we tackle the second half of the 1963 epic, Cleopatra.In the first part of this double-header, we tried to keep our focus on Cleopatra and Caesar and the initial challenges faced by #TeamCleo. However, today we get to delve into the second half of the movie when Cleopatra and Antony get it on. This means we finally get to discuss ‘Le Scandale', aka the Taylor-Burton affair that developed on the set once these two clapped eyes on each other. Their passion would result in two broken hearts, a publicity sensation and not one, but TWO, marriages (and divorces).Cleopatra (1963) is a classic example of how the context of a film can shape how the history was received. It's hard not to see some weird parallels between Taylor & Burton and Cleopatra & Antony. We need to work on some couple names before this gets too confusing. Cleotony? Antra? Tayton? Burtay? We'll keep workshopping these ideas. Things to listen out for:· Unexpected feline births· The casting couch makes an unwelcome appearance· Studio coups· Editing wars· Broken hearts (#JusticeforSybil&Eddie)· Odd similarities with the production of Spartacus· MORE production problems than you can every imagine!One thing we have concluded after three hours of discussion: don't start shooting a movie without a finished script.If you enjoyed this discussion, you might be interested in checking out The Plot Thickens, who are doing a whole season on Cleopatra (1963).Our SourcesDrs G and Dr Rad discuss ancient sources such as Florus, Cicero, Appian, and of course, Plutarch's Life of Antony.Brodsky, Jack, and Nathan Weiss.

Get ready for your new summer obsession! We're sharing a special preview of Cleopatra, the new season of Ben Mankiewicz's other podcast, The Plot Thickens. (Yes, he has two.) Cleopatra was the most tumultuous production in Hollywood history, a disaster of epic proportions written and directed by Ben's Oscar-winning uncle, Joseph L. Mankiewicz. With Mankiewicz calling the shots and with the luminous Elizabeth Taylor in the title role, Cleopatra should have been a smash.

His studio was collapsing. His budget was skyrocketing. And his two stars were making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Those were just some of the headaches facing Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the director of one of the most expensive and infamous movies ever made: Cleopatra. With Mankiewicz calling the shots and the luminous Elizabeth Taylor in the title role, Cleopatra should have been a smash. Instead, it was a shoot plagued by medical emergencies, climate disasters and nervous breakdowns… not to mention Taylor's scandalous love affair with Richard Burton. This season, Ben Mankiewicz digs through his own family stories to understand how it turned out so badly for his Oscar-winning uncle. Cleopatra, a six-episode limited series, begins July 17.

  In 1950, as Hollywood was roiled by the investigations of the House Committee on Un-American Activities and the Hollywood 10 were fresh in memory, a war broke out between legendary director Cecil B. DeMille and relative director newcomer Joseph L. Mankiewicz, whom DeMille had practically appointed as president of the Screen Directors Guild. The object of that war was DeMille's demand that SDG adopt a compulsory loyalty oath. Mankiewicz refused and subsequently DeMille organized a recall campaign that led to one of the most celebrated union hall meetings in history at the Beverly Hills Hotel.  This week, Steve is joined by former Showtime President of Programming Jerry Offsay, screenwriter/author Steve Molton and film historian Avie Hern as they talk about their film project, currently in development, which details this dramatic "Battle for Hollywood." 

During a turbulent era in Hollywood, Joseph L. Mankiewicz reinvigorated woman's pictures when they might have easily been cast aside. Ann Sothern's storyline, about a woman who scrambles to balance her career with her family life, is as relevant today as when the film premiered. Sothern had a series of false starts in her own career and she also struggled with the limitations of typecasting.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of most charming, romantic films of all time. Brandon is joined by Ryan Taylor to discuss 1947's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Ryan is a life-long classic film fans and has her own classic film content on Instagram celebrating Theda Bara. Brandon and Ryan praise the simple, but effective storytelling in The Ghost and Mrs Muir. The pitch perfect performances of Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison along with taut direction by Joseph L. Mankiewicz help to create a film that's been a fan-favorite for generations. The hosts also praise the supporting performances from George Sanders, Natalie Wood and Edna Best along with the haunting score by Bernard Hermann. 

We go over two cinematic legends when it comes to film direction: Roman Polanski and Joseph L. Mankiewicz. We do this by leaning on our ever reliable MovieWise for more reference points. And some mild football talk at the end. Engage!

Having amassed more than 100 episodes in its run, PACCTS' sixth season will focus its sights on “the greatest films of all time” (both in the US and internationally), as assembled by the British Film Institute's 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of industry critics. Corey will be choosing American films from the list, and Paul will be choosing international ones.  Our goal is to examine the films that are considered great, and why that may be the case.   Ranked 211, which Paul and Corey agree is too low, is Joseph L. Mankiewicz's All About Eve (1950). From the zippy, witty, infinitely quotable dialogue to the brilliant performances (minus one?) to its nuanced and edgy discussions of women's oppression and queerness, All About Eve is a must-watch. 

Joe and Allison are joined by Tomatometer-approved Rotten Tomatoes critics Nick and Joseph of Fish Jelly Film Reviews in this week's episode of Queer Cinema Catchup. Together, they unpack the 1959 film Suddenly, Last Summer based on the Tennessee Williams play; directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz; written by Gore Vidal, Mankiewicz, and Williams; and starring Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, and Montgomery Clift.Listen as they discuss the behind-the-scenes queerness of this already queer movie (3:09); the central metaphor of the film and what it says about the implied queer identity of one of its major (albeit dead) characters (7:20); the deeper, darker implications of Elizabeth Taylor's famous white bathing suit (19:41); how the film got around the Hays Code (21:48); whether or not the coded and negative representation of the film is damaging (29:11); the connection between Tennessee Williams' personal history and the plot of the film (34:07); and how Katharine Hepburn's performance inspired Anthony Hopkins (39:50).Thanks very much to Joseph and Nick for joining us; you can hear more of their reviews on their youtube channel and podcast.

David Cairns returns to discuss the end of Ernst Lubitsch's career and life: a period in which, after a heart attack left him debilitated, he produced a series of films directed by the likes of Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Otto Preminger. We cover Dragonwyck, cinema's foremost depiction of the Dutch patroonship system in what is now upstate New York; A Royal Scandal, a remake of Forbidden Paradise; andThat Lady in Ermine, Lubitsch's final unfinished project later completed to little effect by Otto Preminger. Throughout the episode, we discuss the gap in worldviews between Lubitsch and Preminger, our dream Lubitsch/actor pairings that never came to pass, Billy Wilder's tall tales, Ernst Lubitsch's death, and what comes next. Edited by Brennen King. We have a Discord! Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify NEXT WEEK: A reading of Freundschaft, Samson Raphaelson's eulogy for Ernst Lubitsch.

Join us as we deep dive into this episode to talk about the future star Mariah May from her beginning as a content creator to being involved in one of the best stories to date. we talk about the story that's ALL ABOUT MARIAHThe storyline of "All About Mariah" closely mirrors the plot of "All About Eve," with Mariah May playing the role of the ambitious up-and-comer who gradually usurps the established star, Toni Storm, just as Eve Harrington did with Margo Channing. The parallels between the two stories highlight themes of ambition, manipulation, and the ruthless pursuit of fame.All About Eve and All About Mariah: A Comparative Analysis"All About Mariah" is a clear reference to "All About Eve," the classic 1950s film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz for 20th Century Fox. In the movie, a young Eve Harrington, played by Anne Baxter, cozies up to Bette Davis' aging Margo Channing, only to shoot herself to superstardom. Harrington grows close to Channing, adopts some of her mannerisms, and becomes a fixture in her life. When Harrington achieves success, she leaves the aging Broadway star in the dust as she ascends to the award-winning spotlight.ComparisonsIntroduction to the Protagonist All About EveAspiring actress Eve Harrington enters the life of established theater actress Margo Channing via Margo's close friend, Karen Richards.All About MariahMariah May enters Toni Storm's life through RJ City.First Meeting All About EveEve meets Margo for the first time as her big fan in the dressing room before a performance.All About MariahMariah meets Toni in a similar fan-like manner.Suspicion of IntentionsAll About EveMargo's maid, Birdie, gets suspicious of Eve's intentions immediately.All About MariahToni's butler, Luther, is similarly suspicious of Mariah's motives.Adopting the Star's PersonaAll About EveEve tries on Margo's costume while nobody is looking.All About MariahMariah always keeps hold of the AEW Women's World title and starts cosplaying as “Toni,” evolving from her rocker gimmick to her outcast gimmick.Becoming the UnderstudyAll About EveEve slowly manages to become Margo's understudy.All About MariahMariah starts repeating Toni's catchphrases and “learning from her.” They become “bosom buddies. Chin up tits out and Watch for the shoe!High TensionsAll About EveTensions run high when an old friend who knows the real Eve enters the fray.All About MariahAn old friend of Mariah, Mina, enters, causing Mariah to play both sides to keep the ruse going.Achieving SuccessAll About EveEve's manipulation leads to her replacing Margo as the top Broadway star.All About MariahMariah is poised to do the same with Toni on the biggest stage possible at All In, making it truly “all about Mariah.”For a full episode archive (AD FREE) and exclusive content visit CWKPOD.COMMake sure and follow the show and leave us a 5 Star Frog Splash of a review!Be sure to Follow us on all of our socials @CruisingwithKayfabe on Facebook and Instagram, @ItsMongo and @CruisingWithKayfabe_Emily on TikTok. Visit Dubby Energy at https://www.dubby.gg/discount/Mongo?ref=TokPgWhTYa3YrX and use promo code "MONGO" to save 10% on all orders all the time!Special Thanks to friends of the show the Undone for letting us use their song Miss Fortune!

Herman J. (1897–1953) and Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993) wrote, produced, and directed over 150 pictures. With Orson Welles, Herman wrote the screenplay for Citizen Kane and shared the picture's only Academy Award. Joe earned the second pair of his four Oscars for writing and directing All About Eve, which also won Best Picture. In The Brothers Mankiewicz: Hope, Heartbreak, and Hollywood Classics (University of Mississippi Press, 2019), Sydney Stern draws on interviews, letters, diaries, and other documents still in private hands to provide a uniquely intimate behind-the-scenes chronicle of the lives, loves, work, and relationship between these complex men. The book is part of the Hollywood Legends Series of the University of Mississippi Press. Despite triumphs as diverse as Monkey Business and Cleopatra, and Pride of the Yankees and Guys and Dolls, the witty, intellectual brothers spent their Hollywood years deeply discontented and yearning for what they did not have—a career in New York theater. Herman, formerly an Algonquin Round Table habitué, New York Times and New Yorker theater critic, and playwright-collaborator with George S. Kaufman, never reconciled himself to screenwriting. He gambled away his prodigious earnings, was fired from all the major studios, and drank himself to death at fifty-five. While Herman drifted downward, Joe rose to become a critical and financial success as a writer, producer, and director, though his constant philandering with prominent stars like Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, and Gene Tierney distressed his emotionally fragile wife who eventually committed suicide. He wrecked his own health using uppers and downers in order to direct Cleopatra by day and finish writing it at night, only to be very publicly fired by Darryl F. Zanuck, an experience from which Joe never fully recovered. Joel Tscherne is an Adjunct History Professor at Southern New Hampshire University. His Twitter handle is @JoelTscherne.

In this Paramount 1946 episode we look at two movies featuring Veronica Lake which otherwise could not be more dissimilar: Miss Susie Slagle's (directed by John Berry), about the trials of pre-WWI Johns Hopkins medical students living in a boarding house presided over by Lillian Gish; and famous Lake/Ladd noir outing, The Blue Dahlia (directed by George Marshall and written by Raymond Chandler). We discuss the potential influence of the leftists involved in making Miss Susie Slagle's on its portrayal of race and gender and debate the amount of damage done to The Blue Dahlia by the studio-mandated change to the plot. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we take a brief look at three very different movies: Tarkovsky's Nostalghia (stolen by a German Shepherd), Joseph L. Mankiewicz's A Letter to Three Wives (stolen by Linda Darnell), and Douglas Sirk's All I Desire (starring Barbara Stanwyck).  Time Codes: 0h 00m 35s:      MISS SUSIE SLAGLE'S [dir.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the most talked about films of the 20th century. We're celebrating the 60th anniversary of Cleopatra from 1963. Ryan Lootens and Erin McCabe from Front Row Flashbacks are joining Brandon to take a look as this gargantuan epic directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. We take a look at the strengths and flaws of a film that nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox. Other topics include the storied affair of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the expert performance of Rex Harrison and the incredible excess that is seen in every frame of the film.

A seemingly timid but secretly ruthless ingénue insinuates herself into the lives of an aging Broadway star and her circle of theater friends.  Written for the screen and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Based on the short story "The Wisdom of Eve" by Mary Orr (uncredited). Starring Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders and Celeste Holm.
