"IT'S FATAL: WHAT IS FILM NOIR?" (PART III) (080) 3/24/2025 Welcome to the third and final installment of our series on Film Noir. As we have previously discussed the technical elements of noir and met the typical character's of noir, we will now take a look at the creative aspects of the genre that help create that special brand of dark, sexy, deadly movies. We'll discuss dialogue, and clever devices like voice overs, flashbacks, and dream sequences that enhance these dark, moody films. We'll also look at the fatalistic themes that reigned supreme throughout the genre.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

CW: This episode discusses cinematic sexual violence. Aaron and Carlee from the Hit Factory podcast return from San Francisco to discuss one of Anthony Mann's best films, the psychological western Man of the West, starring Gary Cooper in one of his final performances as a former outlaw who has worked to get away from his sordid past and rebuild his life, only to find himself by circumstance back in league with the very “family” of killers who raised him, in a classic film noir scenario transposed to the Western genre. Jean-Luc Godard hailed Man of the West as the best film of 1958 and in this episode we discuss the psycho-sexual complexities of this western and how it pointed the way to the future of American cinema including the horror genre, how like Michael Mann's Manhunter it implicates the audience by depicting an “audience” within the movie forced to watch sexually-charged violence unfold, and the modernity of the performances by Lee J. Cobb as the crazed paterfamilias of the killers and the singer Julie London as the “saloon singer” held hostage by the gang. We also discuss what this film has to say about violence as the substance that forged Western expansion and which, as we've seen in the wake of Donald Trump's re-election, still courses through the American bloodstream today.

EPISODE 60 - "THELMA RITTER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 11/04/2024 There's a scene in the classic 1950 film All About Eve where Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER), a star-struck fan who has infiltrated the life of Broadway star Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS), is telling the tragic story of her past to Margo and her friends. While Margo and company are drawn into the sad circumstances of Eve's life, Margo's acerbic dresser Birdie, played to perfection by the great THELMA RITTER, is not buying her sob story. After Eve finishes, Birdie mutters, "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end." This is probably the moment I fell in love with Ritter. With her heavy New York accent, diminutive size, working-class charm, and sarcastic zingers, she made a career of stealing scenes from big stars and making the most of her time on screen. She played characters wiser than most, and her characters certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. She is a cinematic treasure, and we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

Dana and Tom with returning guest Kieran B (Host and Creator of the Best Picture Cast; @bestpicturecast on X, IG, Letterboxd) and new guest, Sara Shea (Host and Creator of Shea Cinema; @sheacinema on X, IG) revisit one of the defining legal drama in film, 12 Angry Men (1957): directed by Sidney Lumet, written by Reginald Rose, score by Kenyon Hopkins, cinematography by Boris Kaufman, starring Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Martin Balsam, Jack Klugman, Jack Warden, and Robert Webber.Plot Summary: "12 Angry Men" is a masterclass in cinematic storytelling, a film that transcends its simple setting to explore the complexities of human nature and the intricacies of the American justice system. Directed by Sidney Lumet, this 1957 classic features a powerhouse performance by Henry Fonda, leading an ensemble cast through a tense, emotionally charged jury deliberation.The plot revolves around twelve jurors tasked with deciding the fate of a young man accused of murder. As the film unfolds almost entirely within the confines of a single jury room, the characters' personal biases, prejudices, and moral dilemmas come to the forefront. Fonda's Juror 8 stands as the lone voice of doubt against an initial consensus of guilt, gradually dismantling the case piece by piece through logical reasoning and relentless questioning."12 Angry Men" remains a timeless reflection on justice, democracy, and the power of reasonable doubt. It's a film that challenges viewers to look beyond the surface and question the assumptions that underpin their beliefs. This is not just a courtroom drama; it is an enduring examination of the moral and ethical struggles that define us all.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introductions03:38 The Dreaded New Guest Questions12:36 Background for 12 Angry Men - Cast and Recognition16:03 Relationship(s) to 12 Angry Men24:51 What is 12 Angry Men About?31:13 Is 12 Angry Men Too Idealistic or Naive?36:54 Plot Summary38:32 Did You Know?39:56 First Break40:37 Ask Dana Anything50:57 Who Would You Want to Play You in the Movie of Your Life?55:29 The Stanley Rubric56:55 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:05:00 The Stanley Rubric - Impact and Significance01:18:27 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:29:34 Second Break01:39:09 In Memoriam01:42:52 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:48:26 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:52:29 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score/Final Score01:54:07 Remaining Questions for 12 Angry Men02:09:05 Thank You to Our Guests02:12:56 CreditsYou can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.For more on the original episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/51-12-angry-men-1957For more on the episode, go to:

EPISODE 30 - “Robert Walker: Old Hollywood's Tragic Boy Next Door” - 04/08/2024 No one played sensitive, lost souls quite like ROBERT WALKER. However, he is best known for playing one of the most complicated, psychopaths in film history, Bruno Antony in ALFRED HITCHCOCK's masterpiece “Strangers On A Train” (1951). His journey from playing sensitive innocents to playing Bruno is reflective of his troubled, turbulent life, and the heartbreak from which he never recovered. This week, we'll discuss the artistry and the tragedy of this incredible actor.

Halloween season is in full swing at Film ‘89 Towers as we bring you our special 2023 horror themed episode as Steve & Skye, along with returning guest hosts, John Arminio and Stephen Simpson, delve headlong into a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Director William Friedkin's 1973 film adaptation of author William Peter Blatty's best selling 1971 novel, The Exorcist. It's a film that's not only regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made but one that's also, adjusted for inflation, one of the most financially successful films ever made. Featuring amazing performances from Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, Max von Sydow, Lee J. Cobb and a stunning turn from then child actress, Linda Blair, The Exorcist is a film that pushed boundaries in a way no film before it had done, and is one that has endured for half a century as an all-time classic of cinema. Special thanks to Matt Needle for the great episode artwork.

The anti-Communist hysteria rampant in the U.S. in the 1940s and 1950s is often called the McCarthy period. But the red-baiting and persecution started even before McCarthy was elected to the Senate in 1946. The notorious House Un-American Activities Committee led the crusade to ferret out alleged Communists in the U.S. They struck gold when they took on Hollywood, not because they actually found Communists but because of the public's media-fed fixation on movie stars. Perhaps the most interesting case involved the great director Elia Kazan who felt he had to name names and cooperate with HUAC. In this program Victor Navasky raises interesting moral choices and questions. His discussion of the actor Lee J. Cobb is most moving. Interview by David Barsamian and S.K. Levin. Recorded at KGNU.

This 1957 film is perhaps more relevant now than when it debuted. Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb and more star in “12 Angry Men.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stan-the-movie-man9/message

12 Angry Men (1957) remains one of the greatest courtroom dramas. Directed by Sidney Lumet from a screenplay by Reginald Rose, the film stars Henry Fonda as the hold-out juror among his peers who are ready to quickly convict a teenager charged with murder in a New York court.  Through a series of dramatic moments, Fonda eventually persuades his fellow jurors that there remains a reasonable doubt about the defendant's innocence, forcing them to address their own preconceptions and prejudices in the process. Fonda (who coproduced the film), teams up with a sensational ensemble cast that includes Lee J. Cobb, Jack Warden, Ed Begley, Martin Balsam, E.G. Marshall, and Jack Klugman. I'm joined by Elkan Abramowitz, one of America's leading criminal defense attorneys, whose many notable clients include Woody Allen, to explore why 12 Angry Men remains essential viewing even as much has changed about the American jury system since it was made.Timestamps:0:00     Introduction3:48     Why 12 Angry Men still resonates today5:15     How juries have changed6:47     Why serving on a jury can be so meaningful10:04   The beyond a reasonable doubt standard15:01   Bigotry and prejudice in the jury room 17:28   Selecting the jury22:59   Group dynamics on juries26:24   The problem with eyewitness cases28:01   Jurors doing outside research30:56   The vanishing jury 34:07   Just down the block: New York v.  Trump39:26   How juries deliberate43:22   Why the film holds up so wellFurther Reading: Asimow, Michael, “'12 Angry Men': A Revisionist View,” 82 Chicago-Kent L.

On the episode, Adam is joined by his wife Melissa (co-host of the Below Freezing Podcast & heard on our “Singin' in the Rain” episode) to discuss Henry Fonda's enduring (yet somehow not Oscar nominated) performance, the violence & fragility of Lee J.

    Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we present an encore episode with Quincy Coleman, daughter of actor Dabney Coleman and actress Jean Hale. Ironically, this comes on the heels of our encore episode with James Coburn's son, James Coburn.  Which means we have now spoken to the children of all-four leads from the film In Like Flint including Tony Cobb, son of Lee J. Cobb and Richard Duggan, son of Andrew Duggan. Weird. We spoke to Quincy about a variety of subjects from her dad's favorite Mexican restaurant, her own health issues, her singing career, her mom's criminally unheralded acting career, her parents acting classes in New York that featured many up-and-coming stars, her dads funny but intimidating on screen personality plus growing up in Los Angeles, attending the same college on the East Coast and much more. It was great talking to Quincy and we hope you will like our conversation with her because we sure did. Now if Josh only remembered that her dad was the Commodore and not the Commander on HBO's Boardwalk Empire that would have made this an ideal episode. Oh well. Take a listen to Quincy Coleman on this edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast.

Dana and Tom discuss the last of their month of Best Picture winners with one of the great Crime Dramas in American Cinema with On the Waterfront (1954): directed by Elia Kazan, written by Budd Schulberg, starring Marlon Brando, Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden, Rod Steiger, and Lee J. Cobb. Plot Summary: Dockworker Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) had been an up-and-coming boxer until ordered to throw a fight by powerful local mob boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb). Terry, now working for Friendly, helps set up another longshoreman, Joey Doyle, who is talking to the Waterfront Crime Commissioner. Not knowing that he was helping Friendly in Joey's murder, Terry's conscience is disturbed, and he starts questioning his involvement. Circumstances place Terry around Joey's sister, Edie (Eva Marie Saint) and a romance develops. This relationship, together with the advice and support of streetwise priest Father Barry (Karl Malden), pushes Terry to decide his path. Does he stand up to Friendly and turn his back on Friendly's right-hand man, Terry's brother Charley (Rod Steiger), risking his own life and safety, or does Terry "follow the code" and remain silent?

Today we bring you yet-another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast as we talk to Tony Cobb, son of acting great Lee J. Cobb. Tony was a great guest, full of stories and also doing a great impression of his dad that still has us laughing today. We talk about the storied career of a man who was known best for his stage and screen persona, Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman as well as his roles in classic films of all genres, including The Exorcistin the 1970s, In Like Flint in the 1960s and On The Waterfront in the 1950s. We also touch an uncomfortable subject that we broached in an earlier encore episode, The Blacklist. And while it's absolutely true that Lee J. Cobb in fact, named names during a terrible period in US History during Senator Joseph McCarthy's HUAC witch hunts, it was truly edifying to hear Tony's side of things. Tony was able to crystalize the stress and the heartache of this time period, about the pressure and the stress his father was put under to give the government what they wanted. It's a horrific story about wire-tapping, passports being confiscated, not being allowed to work as an actor and being tailed by the FBI. And that's just the beginning. You'll have to hear Tony's story and for us, that's when we began to see that not everything is so black and white when taken at face value. Thankfully, we get to hear great stories about how Cobb was an obsessive tinkerer in their San Fernando Valley house, but that he was very much a model kit maker and practical joker. We hear how Tony's sister dated a young actor who went on to star in American Graffiti  prior to his Academy Award and how his dad's booming voice was both a source of teasing and worry to the adolescent Tony. And lastly, we hear what was one of Tony's best memories of his dad? Seeing a film at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood with his dad and their rolling out of the red carpet when they realized one of paying customers was Lee J. Cobb. It's all next, on this encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast.

The classic mystery film The Three Faces of Eve, directed by Nunnally Johnson, will shock you and make you question your sense of reality. The plot revolves around a young woman who has three distinct personalities. In addition, the film delves into the controversial mental disorder called multiple personality disorder, now known as dissociative identity disorder. The film stars academy award winner and superstar actress Joanne Woodward as the main character Eve White/ Eve Black and Jane. The second main character, Doctor Curtis Luther, is played by the brilliant Lee J. Cobb, who I discussed in my film review for 12 Angry Men about a month ago. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/collin-sugg/message

12 Angry Men is often near the top of many lists of top 100 films. However, it was not always certain that this would become the classic that it has become. This week, our guest is Dr. Phil Rosenzweig. We're going to discuss his book: Reginald Rose and the Journey of 12 Angry Men. We're going to discuss some of the inspiration behind Rose's penning of the play; his early connections with the great Rod Serling of The Twilight Zone; the casting of the film with Henry Fonda, Jack Klugman, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall, Ed Begley, etc.; the early perceptions of the film; some of the complications that it faced when it premiered; how it has become a great tool for educators; and how it continues to impact how we think of the justice system and what justice even entails.

The film 12 Angry Men is considered one of the best courtroom dramas and one of the best films ever made. The plot is about 12 male jurors of different backgrounds, personalities, and professions who need to decide the fate of a young teenager accused of murdering his father. If found guilty, he will be executed. The main stars are the fantastic Henry Fonda, who plays juror number 8. Initially, the only juror who chooses to vote the defendant, not guilty after a preliminary vote. Two-time Academy Award-nominee Lee J. Cobb plays juror number 3, the ringleader who argues for the defendant's guilt. Next, we have Academy-Award winner Ed Begley, juror number 10, portrayed as an awful man. Next, we have the longtime successful actor, E.G., Marshall as juror number 4, who is very calm and analytical. The last main character who deserves mention is juror number 7, a baseball fanatic played by Academy Award nominee Jack Warden. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/collin-sugg/message

The jury in a NYC murder trial is livid by a single member whose skeptical caution forces them to take a deeper look at the evidence before jumping to a hasty verdict. Starring Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall and Jack Warden.

Un capolavoro. Impossibile non descrivere con tale termine questa pellicola, esordio col botto di un regista che già aveva le idee chiarissime su come fare un film. Dodici giurati riuniti in un'aula all'interno di un tribunale per decidere se condannare a morte o meno un ragazzo accusato di parricidio. Uno di loro (Henry Fonda immenso!) solleva un ragionevole dubbio, non mostrandosi d'accordo con il quasi unanime verdetto di colpevolezza e tenterà di convincere anche gli altri, con arguzia e ragionamento. Pellicola imprescindibile per i legal thriller che, pur non avendo azione al suo interno, tiene incollato lo spettatore dall'inizio alla fine, con una tensione quasi palpabile, grazie anche alle magistrali interpretazioni di tutti i protagonisti, tra cui spiccano oltre a Fonda un granitico Lee J. Cobb, Martin Balsam, E.G. Marshall e Jack Warden. Da vedere, rivedere e collezionare.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS A PODCAST?!? Well, Lee J. Cobb, the NerdSkis dive into serious territory in this Installment with their look at the 1957 adaptation of the classic courtroom drama, 12 Angry Men!

On this episode, we discuss the twenty-seventh Best Picture Winner: “On The Waterfront.”"On the Waterfront" follows dockworker Terry Malloy who had been an up-and-coming boxer until powerful local mob boss Johnny Friendly persuaded him to throw a fight. When a longshoreman is murdered before he can testify about Friendly's control of the Hoboken waterfront, Terry teams up with the dead man's sister Edie and the streetwise priest Father Barry to testify himself, against the advice of Friendly's lawyer, Terry's older brother Charley.  Directed by Elia Kazan, the film stars Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy, Lee J. Cobb as Johnny Friendly, Eva Marie Saint as Edie Doyle, Karl Malden as Father Barry, and Rod Steiger as Charley Malloy.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History. We are a Cinema Squad Production, presented on the Cinema Squad Podcast Channel.

The Criterion Collection, the last vestige of truly collectible DVD and Blu-Ray movies in existence. These are well produced, fancy pants editions of important and interesting films for the discerning film lover. We continue our journey through Jim's collection of movies with... On The Waterfront Spine Number: 647 Director: Elia Kazan Genre: Drama   Some movies are iconic without a lot of people even realizing it. "I could have been somebody. I could have been a contender." That is one of those lines that you hear all over the place. It's, arguably, one of the greatest lines in film history, which is it's kind of everywhere. But a lot of people who use it don't even know where it coes from. Well, it comes from "On The Waterfront."     Released in 1954, "On The Watefront" would go on to win 8 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director (Elia Kazan's second directing Oscar), Best Actor (Brando's  first), Best Supporting Actress (Eva Maria Saint in her first on screen role),and get three Best Supporting Actor nominations (Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden, and Rod Steiger). It's a movie about working class people struggling with corruption in the only industry many of them know, or have known for several generations. How do you survive in an area that depends on union jobs when the union is unabashedly corrupt? How can you be decent and honest when the institutions that govern every part of your life are fundamentally broken? Sound familar. Yeah, these problems have been around forever. Brandow is amazing as Terry Malloy, dockworker, former boxer, and right hand man/enforcer to the corrupt union boss. Eva Marie Saint is captivating as Edie Doyle, sister of a murdered dock worker. Malden kills it as the honest priest trying to help the workers. Steiger is perfect as Terry's older brother and bookkeeper for the corrupt union. And Lee J. Cobb steals the show as Michael J. Skelly, aka "Johnny Friendly" the cold hearted and ruthless mob connected union leader. This movie is fantastic and damned near plays like a beautifully shot documentary. It's a stunning portrait of working class life struggling against unimaginable corruption.  So, check it out with us.

It's pretty rare for a film to come along that has such a visceral effect on people when they're watching it where they faint or throw up because it's so overwhelming. When “The Exorcist” was released just after Christmas in 1973, it had that effect. People flocked to it in droves and seemed to have these heightened reactions to it, whether because they were so scared or they felt it was truly evil. It's a fascinating case study in how religion and horror draws people to the theatre. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Ellen Burstyn series with William Friedkin's “The Exorcist.” We talk about what makes this film so good and so horrific — something having to do with the sense of naturalism that William Peter Blatty, the screenwriter and author of the original novel, wanted in it and that Friedkin brought to it. We talk about the performances — Burstyn, Linda Blair, Max Von Sydow, Jason Miller, Lee J. Cobb and the demonic vocal stylings of Mercedes McCambridge — and look at what they each bring to the table in this story about a mother trying to protect her little girl from things she doesn't understand. We chat about Friedkin and his insane directing style that seems to put actors in harm's way in his quest for the perfect film, a frightening look at the ends justifying the means. We discuss the perfect cinematography brought to the story by Owen Roizman, lending touches to create both bright and dark shots that work in tandem. We look at the amazing makeup effects by Dick Smith, working well in both areas of makeup — creature effects and age makeup. We also touch on the amazing sound design and music — Tubular Bells anyone? And we chat about how well this film did, despite outlandish claims that the film was evil. It's truly a terrifying film that deserves the praise it gets. It's one of our favorites and we have a great time talking about it. Tune in!* * *Hey! You know what would be awesome?
