On any given day, you could pick 20 American movies that would show a different cross section of the complex contradictory conflicting aspects of the American character. Today, Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill picks 20 including 1928's King Vidor directed The Crowd, the biting 50's satire Ace in the Hole, 70's masterworks like Husbands, Girlfriends, Nashville, Killer of Sheep, Black Caesar, and more recent works that wrestle with American identity like He Got Game, Better Luck Tomorrow, Nomadland, and Killers of the Flower Moon (+many more). On this 4th of July, Secret Movie Club tries to aid the American experiment by taking a look at how our national character has expressed itself in our cinema.
For this MGM 1931 episode we watched The Easiest Way, a feminist subversion of melodrama tropes by director Jack Conway and screenwriter Edith Ellis, starring Constance Bennett as the fallen woman and a young Clark Gable, verging on stardom, as her judgemental brother-in-law; and possibly the most sentimental movie ever made, King Vidor's The Champ, starring Wallace Beery as a ne'er-do-well ex-boxing champ dad and Jackie Cooper as his passionately devoted son.

We've got a big one for you this week: four main movies plus four Fear and Moviegoing viewings. Our main feature is Stanning for Sten: Anna Sten's three movies for Samuel Goldwyn, Nana (1934), based on (more like inspired by) the Zola novel, We Live Again (1934), with a Tolstoy source, and The Wedding Night (1935), plus a glimpse at one of her later supporting roles in Let's Live a Little (1948), a Robert Cummings comedy vehicle. Goldwyn infamously brought Sten to Hollywood with the intention of creating his own Dietrich-Garbo hybrid and lavished the most prestigious Hollywood talent (Arzner, Mamoulian, Vidor, Gregg Toland, and co-stars like Frederic March and Gary Cooper) and literary source material on her, only to have the public reject her; but we argue that Goldwyn's care didn't go to waste. And in Fear and Moviegoing, we look at the career of actress/director Mai Zetterling, discussing two movies directed by her, and two early films in which she appears (one directed by Ingmar Bergman, the other written by him).

The author Jacob Bacharach returns to continue this podcast's look at Megalopolis. On this episode we compare Coppola's latest to another overheated epic about a visionary architect, King Vidor's ludicrous 1949 adaptation of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Coppola has acknowledged the film version of The Fountainhead as a key influence on Megalopolis, but what Jacob and I value about these two films is how they each rebuke the reactionary source material: Vidor does it through hyperbole while Coppola rejects Rand's philosophy outright in his parable about America as a near-future Roman Empire. And both films are intensely personal projects with Vidor pointing the way towards the future of cinematic language (no doubt inspiring Paul Verhoeven and the Coen Brothers) and Coppola emptying out his bag of tricks to finally finish a deranged project he spent half his life hoping to make. And Jacob and I contrast the ways we each saw Megalopolis: from a packed out IMAX cinema in Toronto with a live-streamed Coppola q&a and the full “immersive” presentation to being the only people in a suburban cinema in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was the best time we each had in a movie theatre in eons. Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Según los más de tres millones de espectadores que han votado la lista de las 250 mejores películas de la historia en IMDB, la mayor y más importante base de datos cinematográficos del mundo, ‘Cadena perpetua' de Frank Darabont se sitúa a la cabeza de esta lista con una puntuación de 9'3 sobre 10, una décima más que la segunda película, ‘El padrino' de Francis Ford Coppola. Este 14 de octubre se cumplen 30 años de su estreno y nosotros la recordamos en este episodio. También es el aniversario, en este caso los 60 años de su fallecimiento, de uno de los grandes artífices del musical americano, a la vez que uno de los compositores de canciones más importantes del siglo XX: Cole Porter, al que hemos dedicado el capítulo de nuestra Enciclopedia de esta semana. Charlamos con Teresa Figueroa, ex jefa de prensa de Warner que ha publicado un libro de sobre sus años de trabajo con numerosas anécdotas sobre las estrellas de cine que conoció. Y en “Diligencia hacia el Oeste” tenemos esta semana el que es posiblemente el western más melodramático de la historia: “Duelo al sol” de King Vidor, con la arrebatada historia de amor y odio que protagonizaron Jennifer Jones y Gregory Peck.
In this episode, we're laughing and crying to the sweet melodies of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2008 film Tokyo Sonata, and its social commentary on the Japanese nuclear family in the midst of a financial crisis. We explore the film's construction of a patriarchal nuclear family, discuss Kyoko Koizumi's unique role as the mother of the family (taking care of all her boys), and go long on her wild narrative journey in the film's second half with a surprising supporting actor… Eli finds parallels in Kurosawa's choices with classic films like King Vidor's The Crowd and Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Wilson highlights Kurosawa's selective cinematographic change-ups, and Ben shares some behind the scenes discoveries of the film's making.

We went deep for our second King Vidor Special Subject episode, looking at four films from the 1930s: Street Scene (1931), adapted by Elmer Rice from his famous stage play about working-class New Yorkers; the little-known Cynara (1932), starring Ronald Colman as a kindly upper-middle-class man who stumbles into adultery and the abyss; Our Daily Bread (1934), Vidor's eccentric, self-produced response to the Great Depression; and Stella Dallas, one of the great woman's pictures, centered on one of Barbara Stanwyck's greatest performances. Class, gender, transformation of consciousness, and how they're served by melodrama story structures all come in for examination as we find links with the films of other auteurs, from Ozu to Lynch. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we take a quick look at monster movie tropes and James Cameron's masochistic feminism in The Terminator. All this and more feedback on our Lilli Palmer series!

The Stars Shine in our review of six new Blu-rays from the Warner Archive. To begin, George Feltenstein takes us through the intricate process of restoring the 1940 Technicolor epic "Northwest Passage," starring Spencer Tracy, discussing the hurdles of working with nitrate negatives and the impressive results. This cinema classic from King Vidor brims with adventure and beautiful landscapes that look better than ever.Our reviews continue as we spotlight Clark Gable and Norma Shearer's unforgettable performances in the 1939 MGM classic "Idiot's Delight." George explains director Clarence Brown's anti-war messaging and details the inclusion of both the international and American endings to the film.Next, we review the 1965 musical "Harum Scarum" starring Elvis in a comedy set in the deserts of Arabia. Gorgeous sets filled with beautiful women plus Elvis' trademark rock'n'roll songs make this a pop hit for Elvis fans. Finally, we shine a light on three forgotten gems that deserve a second look. We start with the 1995 period drama "The Stars Fell on Henrietta" starring Robert Duvall in an unforgettable performance and supporting actors Aidan Quinn, Frances Fisher, and Brian Dennehy. Next, we highlight Sissy Spacek's powerful role in the 1985 film "Marie, A True Story." Directed Roger Donaldson, this film has a terrific script and a wonderful supporting cast that includes Jeff Daniels, Morgan Freeman, and Fred Thompson. And finally, there is the heartwarming 1994 Irish film "War of the Buttons," a gem of a family film that deserves a wider audience.Tune in for an episode brimming with film reviews, restoration insights, and a profound appreciation for cinematic history!

One of the first films to provide a realistic depiction of warfare and its effects on those both on and off the battlefield, King Vidor's 1925 epic The Big Parade became one of the highest-grossing films of the silent era, and MGM's biggest hit until another war epic, Gone With the Wind (1939).For our episode on The Big Parade, we opted to forgo our usual roundtable discussion format in favor of a feature-length commentary track, to ensure that everyone gets to see this landmark work of Hollywood filmmaking from a bygone age.Watch the full film with our commentary here: https://youtu.be/iRuKW3osSbY Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

When a young Black woman came to town in the 1920's came to town to make a blues record, she accomplished that and more. Having had a successful recording career in her youth, she decided to form a record label that would keep older blues musicians recording. Just press play to hear the whole story. —— — Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Andrew Wanko, Black History, Women's History, Music, Business, Arts, Entertainment, and Culture, Podcast Transcript: I'm Andrew Wanko, Public Historian of the Missouri Historical Society, and Here's history on 88.1, KDHX. —— In 1926, teenager Victoria Spivey sat alone and nervous on a 600-mile, one-way train ride bound for St. Louis. It was a city bigger than any she'd ever seen during her Texas childhood, and a place where she knew no one. But more than anything, Victoria Spivey wanted to make a hit blues record, and St. Louis was where to do it. ——— At the DeLuxe Music Shoppe on Market Street, she sat down at the store's piano, and belted out her chilling original song “Black Snake Blues.” Within a week the obvious hit was being pressed in New York City, and it would sell countless thousands of copies within the year. She became a staff songwriter for the St. Louis Publishing Company, and in 1927 scored her next smash hit. The socially conscious “T.B. Blues” chronicled the discrimination faced by the era's victims of tuberculosis. ——— With an animated voice and distinct nasal moan she called her “tiger squall,” Victoria Spivey captivated 1920s listeners across dozens more records. When the Great Depression dissolved recording opportunities, Spivey pivoted to become an actress. In 1929 she starred in King Vidor's film Hallelujah!, among the earliest major Hollywood productions to feature an all-black cast. The following April, she graced the front cover of The Crisis, the official publication of the NAACP. ——— Victoria Spivey retired from show business by 1950, but as the folk revival of the 1960s took hold, a new generation of fans on both sides of the Atlantic were seeking her out. In 1962 she founded Spivey Records, and got other older blues musicians – including former St. Louisans Lonnie Johnson and Big Joe Williams - recording again for new audiences. On one Spivey Records recording session, an almost completely unknown young folk singer named Bob Dylan provided backing vocals and harmonica.

In the Season Premiere of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek (of Bumper in Berlin) and screenwriter Katy Baldwin (of the Story Yelling Podcast) to discuss an elusive musical gem from the early talkie era of Hollywood with King Vidor's loving and parable driven examination of black spirituals and rituals in the South and their dynamic of passion versus reason in the rare all black musical Hallelujah (1929).
Stella Dallas, the star vehicle for Barbara Stanwyck, hinges on a thought experiment: if you knew that by pushing a button your child would be happy for the rest of her life—but the cost of this happiness was that you could never see her again—would you do it? Mike and Dan talk about King Vidor's 1937 melodrama as an example of what movies do so well: getting viewers to understand why people make decisions that defy logic but which are emotionally reasonable. Mike calls Stella a character who exhibits the maximum of emotion with the minimum of introspection: is he correct? Skip that birthday party—no one's coming, anyway—and give this a listen! Dan interviewed Catherine Russell on New Books in Film about her 2023 book The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck. You can find the interview here and the book here.

Our June Special Subject samples the surviving silent cinema of Dave's favorite director (now revealed!), King Vidor. We tease Vidor's auteur preoccupations out of these four early films—The Sky Pilot (1921), Peg o' My Heart (1922), Wild Oranges (1924), and La Bohème (1926)—and find a common focus on the successful, frustrated, or warped self-realization of his heroines. We explore the way Vidor articulates this theme through sometimes eccentric versions of a variety of genres: Western, comedy, Gothic melodrama, woman's picture. And if that doesn't tempt you, there are graphic and brutal fist fights, random storks, demonic dogs, milk-loving dogs, dangerous stunts, and Lillian Gish going that extra 10 miles for her art long before De Niro and Day-Lewis.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2023/05/11/thinking-aloud-about-film-stella-dallas-henry-king-usa-1925/ We discuss the latest in the series of magnificent Film Foundation Screenings, the 1925 version of STELLA DALLAS directed by Henry King and restored by MOMA. It's a glorious experience to see a film now almost 100 years old, looking brand new, probably seeing it in a better condition than most audiences would have seen it upon first release, particularly if they didn't live in major metropolitan centres. The quality of the image, the toning, the tinting: it's a sensuous joy. We also praise the film itself. It's a work that continues to move. We compare it to two later versions: King Vidor's 1937 film with Barbara Stanwyck and John Erman's 1990 version with Bette Midler. We discuss the treatment of class in all three films. José argues for the superiority of the 1937 version and praises Stanwyck and the extraordinary last shot of that film. That aside, we also discuss why we love this marvellous silent film, praised as a masterpiece when it first came out and then sidelined as a mere ‘woman's film' for many generations.
The Orson Welles Show (Lady Esther) | ep05, Wild Oranges | This episode aired, Monday, November 3, 1941Originally Wild Oranges was a 1924 American silent film directed by King Vidor, adapted from a story by Joseph Hergesheimer.Story: Despondent because his new bride has been killed in a carriage accident, John Woolfolk seeks solace cruising in his sailing boat with his cook and only companion, Paul Halvard. The sight of a dilapidated mansion and the odor of oleander and wild orange trees lure him to an island off the Georgia coast to seek fresh water. : : : : :My other podcast channels include: MYSTERY x SUSPENSE -- DRAMA X THEATER -- SCI FI x HORROR -- COMEDY x FUNNY HA HA -- VARIETY X ARMED FORCES.Subscribing is free and you'll receive new post notifications.

The Big Parade (1925) / La Grande Guerra (1959) This week we're off to the trenches as we march towards love and death with King Vidor's parade of doughboys while Mario Monicelli's comic cowards show us that war is no joke
Long-time listeners will be aware of the fact that I have a very complicated relationship with the works of director King Vidor. He was all over the map politically but did achieve the herculean feat of polishing Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, a veritable turd, into a highly entertaining melodrama. This week, I had the opportunity to discuss his most popular film, The Crowd, with renowned film critic Eoin Daly. We were deeply moved by this film's nuanced portrayal of dysfunctional family dynamics and the grieving process. Listen to us gush about this unqualified masterpiece for almost an hour!

The earliest surviving Technicolor feature film persists in cultural heritage not only for its legacy as a vibrant and awe-inspiring pioneer of technical innovation, but also as a starring vehicle for the sumptuous Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong, who appeared in her first starring role as the tragically lovestruck teenager in this retelling of the Madame Butterfly story. There are surprising observations to be made at every turn, from the inherent orientalist flavoring of story to the awe-inspiring visual direction which so beautifully survives today in spite of considerable mystery regarding its supposed rediscovery. Also discussed is a tour of the programming seen at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, where cohost David saw this film and a number of others, including titles from Lubitsch, DeMille, and King Vidor. Tune in as we evaluate the importance of such restorations and screenings as allowed by these festivals, and the unique experiences being curated for these special screenings we hope can be made more available as the interest in celebrating Silent Film only grows from here. David Attends the San Francisco Silent Film Festival: 00:00 - 30:40Color in Film, Technicolor, and The Toll of the Sea (1922): 30:40 - 1:28:46Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.
Es uno de los directores fundamentales de la historia del cine, el realizador norteamericano con la trayectoria cinematográfica más larga, 67 años nada menos. Nos referimos a King Vidor. Falleció hace ahora 40 años y queremos homenajearle repasando sus diez mejores películas. Hemos charlado también con el director Eugenio Mira que acaba de estrenar la serie de HBO Max '¡García!' y en la sección de "Cine incómodo" que presenta Jack Bourbon hablamos esta semana de 'La edad de oro', el primer largometraje de Luis Buñuel. Ah, y en vísperas como estamos de la noche de difuntos vamos a revisar cómo nos ha mostrado el cine la fiesta de Halloween.
James Cameron-Wilson reflects on the UK box office down for the 3rd week with a loss of 26%. Jordan Peele's "deliciously strange" Nope, starring Daniel Kaluuya, is at #1 with a take of £1.9m. James's DVD of the week is the Blu-Ray release of King Vidor's 1955 Western Man Without A Star, starring Kirk Douglas. And on Disney+ he found Prey a feminist action thriller which, although better than the rest of the franchise, ultimately just becomes another Predator film. Learn more about your ad choices.

An odd pairing for this MGM 1940 episode: King Vidor's Northwest Passage, which is not about finding the Northwest Passage at all but about an attack on an Abenaki village by an independent ranger company attached to the British Army; and Frank Borzage's mystical prison break movie, Strange Cargo. We make the argument for a Starship Troopers reading of Northwest Passage before grappling with the many issues of Strange Cargo, from Borzage's use of Crawford and Gable's star personas, to the movie's theodicy, to the many Code-defying topics it deals with. We find a tonal similarity with the poetic realism movement in French cinema of the 1930s, and consider Borzage's treatment of love, salvation and gender.

In a first for the ever-intrepid Team Vintage Sand, we devote an entire episode to the exploration of the history of a single genre. Thus we present Episode 37: A Pocket History of the Hollywood Musical. From its clunky beginnings at the dawn of sound through the unexpected brilliance of Spielberg's "West Side Story" remake last year, we take a deep dive into this most deliberately artificial (and therefore most polarizing) of all film genres. Rather than going decade by decade, we divided this history into six “movements” that provide a lens to view the rise, steep decline and startling rebirth of the musical over the last century. After a brief mention of such important early works as the Best Picture-winning "Broadway Melody of 1929" and King Vidor's first foray into sound, the daring and dazzling (if problematic for contemporary audiences) "Hallelujah!"(1929), the movements we lay out are as follows: I. The Warner Brothers musicals of the pre-Code 1930's, which confronted head-on the difficulties of life during the Great Depression and gave the world its first glimpse of the lunatic genius of Busby Berkeley II. The RKO musicals of the mid and late 1930's, featuring Astaire and Rogers, silly escapist story lines and music by some of the greatest composers of American popular song III. The Golden Age, a quarter century dominated though not exclusively limited to MGM, which is bookended by "The Wizard of Oz" in 1939 and "The Sound of Music" in 1956. This is the age of Vincente Minnelli and the Kelly/Donen team, of "Singin' in the Rain" and "The Band Wagon", of larger budgets and production values and, at its height, a rapidly increasing artistic ambition IV. The decline, which starts in the late 1960's with horrors like "Doctor Doolittle" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie". With the notable exception of "Grease" and the uniquely odd success of "Rocky Horror", the live action musical is essentially moribund from the 70's through the end of the century. However… V. …we argue that the traditional Hollywood musical is kept alive by whoever it was at Disney that had the vision, after having seen "Little Shop of Horrors", to hire Menken and Ashman to revive their animated musical division. The run of successes that Disney had from "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast" through Ashman's untimely death halfway through "Aladdin", and up through 1997's "Mulan" showed that the Musical hadn't died; it had just morphed into cartoon form for a while VI. The unlikely revival of Musicals in this century, sparked out of nowhere by a most unlikely film: Baz Luhrmann's 2001 "Moulin Rouge". The genre's return was cemented by the choice of "Chicago" for Best Picture the next year, and it has been going strong ever since As a final note, we also posit our Grand Unification Theory of the Hollywood Musical—that the greatest among these films were ones originally created for the screen rather than adaptations of Broadway shows. Yes, there are exceptions, but for every "West Side Story" (particularly the 2021), there are a few dozen films like "South Pacific", "Camelot", "A Little Night Music", "Rent", "Cats" and "Dear Evan Hansen". So come and meet those dancing feet as we take you on a whirlwind tour of a century of supreme artistry and epic fails, with stops at just about every point in between.
King Vidor survived the devasting hurricane of Galveston Texas in 1900 and developed a keen interest in film at an early age. Setting out for California with just a couple dollars in his pocket, he amassed a huge career in film - transitioning from silents to talkies and beyond. Find out how.
