We return to Camelot with a look at the 1967 film production of the Lerner & Loewe musical, again starring Richard Harris as King Arthur. At three hours, it's an overly-long production that loses steam in its third hour, but the first two are lush and often inspired, and possibly the best-looking movie we've covered for the show. Starring Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave, Franco Nero, David Hemmings, and Lionel Jeffries. Written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. Directed by Joshua Logan. This is a preview of our Patreon-only series Hollywood Avalon: An Arthurian Film Podcast.

What happens when a multiple Oscar-winning screenwriter and a Pulitzer Prize-winning director adapt a musical by one of the most successful Broadway duos of all time? An absolute disaster.Adam and Nate force themselves to watch Paint Your Wagon (1969), an infamous musical flop and part of the hilarious wraparound for Simpsons musical clip show, “All Singing, All Dancing” (S9E11).Also in this episode:• An attempt to capitalize on 1960s counterculture with a cowboy throuple and folk music• How Alan Jay Lerner's back-seat directing derailed the production and drove Joshua Logan insane• An uneasy combination of westerns and musicals, realism and slapstick • Lee Marvin's alcoholic antics and the tragicomic on-set affair between Clint Eastwood and Jean Seberg• Why did anyone think this was a good idea in the first place (seriously)?Next time, Adam and Nate check out a blockbuster that barely exists, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982).

El próximo martes 17 de mayo y hasta el día 28 se celebra la 75 edición del festival de Cannes. Este aniversario tan redondo nos ha animado a consultar nuestra “Enciclopedia curiosa” para recordar cómo nació el hoy considerado festival de cine más importante del mundo y darle un repaso a su historia. También os vamos a contar cómo Harvey Keitel pasó de ser considerado un actor maldito a convertirse en un imprescindible del cine americano de las últimas décadas. Charlamos con el director Juan Miguel del Castillo que acaba de estrenar su nueva película, “La maniobra de la tortuga” y en la sección de Jack Bourbon traemos esta semana el musical que puso a cantar a dos tipos duros del cine como Clint Eastwood y Lee Marvin. Nos referimos a “La leyenda de la ciudad sin nombre” dirigida por Joshua Logan en 1969.

This week on Fabulous Film & Friends our run of great 1955 films comes to an abrupt and awkward end as we discuss Picnic, a time capsule dramatic weepie directed by Joshua Logan and starring everyone's favorite red-eyed, clenched jawed everyman, William Holden, a nearly diffused and dowdy Kim Novak, skinny and young Cliff Robertson, a suitably wild eyed Rosiland Russell and an always dependable Arthur O'Connell. My guests today are Roseanne Caputi and Alex Robertson. And now the synopsis: Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by William Inge Picnic tells the story of Hal Carter, a handsome but loud and big-talking freight hopping roustabout who lands in a sleepy Kansas town on Labor Day, the day of the big town picnic. It's no accident that Hal lands in the town as it is home to Hal's former college roommate Alan Benson. and Hal is hoping that the wealthy grain-empire magnate to be can offer him employment. Alan is happy to see Hal and indeed offers him labor in the grain silos while also loaning him a car so he can take Millie Owens to the town's festivities. Millie is the sister of Alan's fiancé Madge. And Millie is bookish, college bound and awkward while Madge is beautiful and glamorous but a bit of an underachieving working girl who has a job at the town's five and dime. Madge, under intense pressure from her mother to marry up with Alan, takes an immediate liking to Hal. Accompanying the foursome on the picnic are Rosemary and Howard, a schoolteaching spinster and her bachelor boyfriend, whom she seems to regard as below her standards. After a day of sack races, pie eating contests, and tug-of-war, night settles in sexy dancing starts and with the help of the demon liquor, the human drama comes to a loud and steady boil. What's it all mean? Is it an enduring classic? Find out!
En este episodio recordamos que hace 60 años se estrenaba uno de los mejores westerns de la historia, “El hombre que mató a Liberty Valance” que John Ford dirigió y John Wayne, James Stewart y Lee Marvin protagonizaron. Repasamos también la carrera y la volcánica personalidad de María Félix, todo un mito del cine mejicano. Hemos charlado con Fernando Bovaira, el productor de las películas de Amenábar que nos ha explicado en qué consiste su trabajo. Y en la sección dedicada al cine musical que cada semana nos trae Jack Bourbon nos ocupamos de “Camelot” de Joshua Logan, una película sobre la leyenda artúrica que Richard Harris y Vanessa Redgrave protagonizaron en 1967.
1956's Picnic, adapted from the Pulitzer and Tony award winning stage play by William Inge, gave director Joshua Logan the chance to realize the grand picnic of the title on actual locations in Kansas. But the filming was not without it's headaches. With two insecure lead actors, tornadoes that threatened to shut production down, and thousands of extras to corrall, Picnic could have been mess. But it went on to be a box office success and win two Academy Awards. Dan and Vicky discuss the classic drama along with some recently seen selections including Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022, The Batman, 1960's Flesh and the Fiends, Hulu horror Fresh, Ti West's X, and Dexter: The New Blood.

《發現音樂劇》第四集,發現音樂劇裡的「導演」。導演統御全局,是創作團隊的領袖,劇壇早年習慣將音樂劇的詞曲創作人(有時加上編劇)認定為「作者」,隨著創作觀念逐漸改變,至今「導演」已經是整部劇作中不可或缺的最重要主導勢力。 歷來大師細數不盡,前集所談三位重要編舞家,在創作能量全盛時期也都在舞作之外身兼導演;只導而不舞的名家亦多,舊譯「麥墨連」的魯本馬莫連(Rouben Mamoulian)、約書亞羅根(Joshua Logan)、喬治亞柏特(George Abbott)、哈洛普林斯(Harold Prince)等等,在本集節目中都有介紹;進入21世紀,值得一提的還有長期與紐約林肯中心合作的巴萊薛爾(Bartlett Sher),擅將過往的累積,當成豐富的文化遺產,前輩的藝術歷程對他而言不再是沉重的包袱,而是滋潤的創作養份。 本集節目特別來賓邀請到《發現音樂劇》原創音樂的創作人,同時也是全能打擊樂手、作曲家、編曲家吳沛奕(Allen Wu),分享他在上海迪士尼樂園長期演出的《獅子王》(The Lion King)劇組,置身觀眾席旁側包廂,既是伴奏樂師又是現場表演者的精采經歷,也讓聽眾朋友明白一齣長期上演的商業音樂劇,究竟是怎麼運作的。 節目企劃暨主持/陳煒智(Edwin W.

Luke Yankee (yes, it’s his real name) is a writer, director, producer, actor and teacher. He is the author of the memoir, Just Outside the Spotlight: Growing Up with Eileen Heckart (published by Random House, with a foreword by Mary Tyler Moore). His play, The Last Lifeboat, is published by Dramatists Play Service and has had more than 50 productions in North America. His other plays include Marilyn, Mom and Me, Confessions of a Star Maker, The Man Who Killed the Cure, The Jesus Hickey and A Place at Forest Lawn. His website is www.lukeyankee.com. In 1956, when Marilyn Monroe was cast as the lead in the film Bus Stop, she was the biggest star in the world. She had taken the previous year off to study with Lee Strasberg and had become the poster child for “Method” acting, where an actor has to experience every moment truthfully. The tough, no-nonsense, Broadway character actress Eileen Heckart was cast as her best friend in the movie. As a part of her newly discovered style of acting, Marilyn was determined to make Heckart her best friend – both on screen and off. Reluctantly, Heckart went along with it for the sake of the film and found herself emotionally entrenched in the life of Marilyn Monroe. From all outward appearances, Monroe had it all. And yet, more than anything, she yearned for what Heckart took for granted: a stable marriage, two kids and a respected Broadway career. Forty-five years later, Heckart’s middle-aged gay son, Luke, is trying to unravel his mother’s relationship with Monroe in order to better understand his own path with this highly critical, caustic, yet loving woman. Why did his mother burst into tears every time someone mentioned Marilyn’s name? The play utilizes the chaotic world of movie making in 1950’s Hollywood to uncover universal truths about love, acceptance and what it really means to feel loved and wanted.

"Music has a poetry of its own and that poetry is called melody" - Joshua Logan
World War II didn’t seem like ancient history in 1949 when South Pacific made its Broadway premiere. Sadly, its warnings of the damage that bigotry and prejudice can do aren’t ancient history now as it bows at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center. Based on James Michener’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Tales of the South Pacific, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan took a couple of the stories, softened some of the characters and created an immensely popular musical tale of wartime love. Set on two islands in the South Pacific during the war, two love stories are at the center of this tale. Navy Nurse Nellie Forbush (Heather Buck) finds herself falling in love with French expatriate plantation owner Emile de Becque (William O’Neill). Mssr. de Becque has a somewhat mysterious past, which doesn’t seem to bother Nellie too much. Well, at least not as much as the fact that he has bi-racial children born of a youthful relationship with a Polynesian girl. Meanwhile, newly-arrived Lt. Joe Cable (James Raasch) flips head over heels (in what seems like record time, even for a Broadway musical) for local girl Liat (Maya Babow). Liat’s mother, Bloody Mary (Elsa Fulton), is anxious to marry her off. Joe, however, just can’t imagine bringing her back to his Philadelphia family. Nellie and Joe end their relationships. Emile and Joe head off on a dangerous military mission, but will love be the ultimate casualty? Classic songs like “There’s Nothing Like a Dame”, “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair”, the enchanting “Bali Ha’i” and the beautiful “Some Enchanted Evening” fill out the story, with the daring-for-1949 “You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught” driving home the source of people’s prejudices. Musical director Nancy Hayashibara and her 11-piece orchestra deliver the lush score and Buck and O’Neill are in excellent voice and character with O’Neill’s operatic training put to good use here. Nice comedic support comes from William Thompson as Seabee ‘entrepreneur’ Luther Billis and Jeff Coté as harried Captain Brackett. Elsa Fulton steals every scene in which Bloody Mary appears. Directors Jim Coleman and Sheri Lee Miller keep things moving at a good pace through the two-hour, forty-five-minute running time, but there are some flat spots and things do get a bit sluggish in Act II. Don’t dive too deeply in the waters and you’ll find yourself enjoying the music and appreciating the message of South Pacific. South Pacific runs through February 25 at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park. Friday and Saturday performances at 8pm with 2pm matinees on Sunday. There’s also a Thursday, February 22 performance at 7:30pm. For more information, google Spreckels Performing Arts Center. They’ve got a funky city web address.

Edición número 46 de La Gran Evasión, 21/7/2015.Un despropósito, irreverente y maravilloso a partes iguales, pero sobre todo "La leyenda de la ciudad sin nombre”, realizada en 1969 por Joshua Logan, es una película entretenidísima, graciosa y divertida, que se toma a broma todo o casi todo, una astracanada de lo más desvergonzado, de la que no se salva ni la religión, ni el civismo, ni la moralidad, ni el mítico oeste, la codicia de los hombres, ó las relaciones mujer/hombre/hombres...ni si quiera los Irlandeses se escapan de la crítica......que golpe de aire fresco poder disfrutar de esta peli en estos días tan oscuros. Una adaptación de un exitoso musical de Broadway de los 50 que fue rescatado en los 60 por la Paramount para aprovechar el enorme éxito de Sonrisas y lágrimas. Es gracias a la dirección de Logan que la peli funciona de forma tan efectiva. La puesta en escena, que no oculta en ningún momento el guiño a las grandes súper producciones (el diseño de producción y de decorados es deslumbrante), consigue sacar el mejor jugo posible a cada uno de los géneros que mezcla. Como obra musical, las canciones aparecen en el film en el momento justo para no interrumpir el avance de la acción, la base de los musicales, que los números hagan avanzar la trama y ahonden en los personajes, eso aquí si ocurre, además sus melodías son tan pegadizas como agradables (atención al vozarrón de Lee Marvin en la versión original). Como comedia, a lo largo del film se suceden episodios que ponen de relieve continuamente el aspecto más cómico del mismo, como la pelea provocada entre Ben y el "Socio" por ganarse el afecto de Elizabeth, el secuestro de las prostitutas, la secuencia del toro, que provocan que la ciudad se venga abajo, puro slapstick. Como western, “La leyenda de la ciudad sin nombre” toma los elementos más básicos para desarrollar la historia, es decir, el marco escénico y la época en que tiene lugar la acción (ese Oeste casi crepuscular), las dura vida de minero, los colonos, los granjeros en busca del sueño, la solidaridad entre desconocidos, el barro, el viento, la lluvia, el sol....la naturaleza más salvaje y extrema. Es curioso ver a Clint Eastwood tomándose medio a cachondeo su papel de pistolero sin nombre de los spaguetti western, porque aquí no sólo hace de galán, sino que además el tío canta al amor y al fracaso....la partida de póker y la canción Golfever es magnifica. Resaltar que el guión tiene una mala leche de cuidado. Se pitorrea de todos los principios morales y de comportamientos habidos y por haber, además, no duda en burlarse de todo y de todos, la moralidad, la religión, la civilización y sus reglas, los atavismos sociales, prejuicios sexuales,..que trio pecaminoso y amoral, pero lleno de amor y renuncia, nos deja para la reflexión.... Pero no lo hace ofendiendo ni insultando, sino con gracia, por lo que no te queda otra que reírte a ti también. Como el momento en que llega al pueblo el predicador, queriendo establecer un poco de orden moral, cuándo descubre que Elisabeth vive con dos maridos, las caras del pobre cura conforme avanza la conversación no tienen precio! Es Sodoma, es el mismísimo Infierno, es el Paraíso... Sin duda el momento que Marvin canta "I Was born under a wandering star" es grandioso, la lluvia, la niebla, la cuidad que se muere, los carros en camino, de nuevo a ninguna parte....memorable la canción de la estrella errante interpretada por esa voz ajada, toda una declaración de intenciones, los nacidos bajo el mismo sino pertenecemos a la misma hermandad, errabundos...viejos perdedores, solitario que das miedo, ¿es que nunca va a ganar este pobre perdedor, este pobre soñador...? Nos ponemos melancólicos, sabiendo que un buen amigo nos recogerá del barro después de esta borrachera de cine y nos llevará a casa: José Miguel Moreno a la dirección, contertulios Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y mención especial para José Gallego, que nos deleita con su sapiencia y buena compañía haciendo guardia mientras la bellísima Jean Seberg se baña en el río a la luz de la luna...

Best Plays presents theatrical paramounts of excellence. It's hosted by the drama critic of New York's Daily News, John Chapman. Dramatic and comedic performances outshine other theater radio shows, greatly performed by such greats as Boris Karloff and Alfred Drake.THIS EPISODE:Henry Fonda returned to films after an eight-year absence in this masterful adaptation of the actor's Broadway hit Mister Roberts. Written and partially directed by Joshua Logan, the film stars Fonda as Lt. Doug Roberts, chief cargo officer of the supply ship "Reluctant." WW2 is in its last few months, and Roberts is itching for combat duty. But the Reluctant's surly, despotic captain (James Cagney), anxious to use Roberts to expedite his own promotion, refuses to sign any of Roberts' transfer requests. Helping to brighten Mister Roberts' humdrum existence are his best friends, Ensign Frank Pulver (Jack Lemmon, in an Oscar-winning performance) and the ship's philosophical doctor (William Powell, in his final film appearance). Most of the laughs are provided by Pulver, officer "in charge of laundry and morale." When he isn't wheeling and dealing to bring a bevy of beautiful nurses on board the Reluctant, Pulver is concocting elaborate schemes to avenge himself against the Captain -- even though he's spent 14 months on the Reluctant without ever meeting his nemesis. The film's highlights include the efforts by Roberts, Pulver, and Doc to mix a bottle of Scotch from Coca-Cola, Iodine, and other vital ingredients; and Mister Roberts' (and later Ensign Pulver's) assertion of manhood by tossing the Captain's precious palm tree overboard. Halfway through shooting, legendary director John Ford was replaced, ostensibly because of illness, by Mervyn LeRoy. One of the finest service comedies ever made, Mister Roberts spawned a less amusing sequel, Ensign Pulver (1964), as well as a 1965 TV sitcom. Hal Erickson.
