Podcasts about Lewis Milestone

We complete our second round of 1930 on Studios Year by Year with Universal. This time around we've got two auteur entries, Lewis Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front, and a much deeper cut, Tod Browning's eccentric crime drama Outside the Law. We discuss All Quiet as emblematic of the Laemmele Jr. era before turning to Browning's tense, messy melodrama, with a powerhouse performance by the scandal-plagued Mary Nolan. A fine finale to another trip through 1930 with the Hollywood Studios!  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s: Universal Recap 0h 15m 58s: ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT [dir.

There are very few extra-special films in the history of cinema that not only stand the test of time, they really changed the way we look at history in general ... fictional films that make us see real life in a truly different manner.  Lewis Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front did just that. It took our perspective of war and turned it on its head by having us see the world of the enemy soldiers.  This film is so technically brilliant and the acting is first-rate. This is a remarkable piece of filmmaking. However, was this Best Picture winner, in retrospect, still deserving of the honor of best film of 1929/30?Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about All Quiet on the Western Front, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1929/30.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching  Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHear RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, BlueSkyShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messanger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Send us a text

This Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode tackles two more films made with leftist colleagues, Elliott Nugent's My Girl Tisa, a Popular Front-style tale of early 20th century immigrants and the American Dream, and Lewis Milestone's quirky, stylistically inventive comedy No Minor Vices (written by Arnold Manoff). We also watched François Villiers' fascinating Hans le Marin (also known as Wicked City), a vehicle for Maria Montez co-starring and co-written by her husband, Jean-Pierre Aumont, which Elise considers the Frenchest movie she's ever seen; Palmer co-stars as the Romani rival to Aumont's obsession. And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we talk about Kira Muratova's The Long Farewell (1971), a saga of the tormenting love between a mother and her teenage son, told in a distinctive style that did not find favour with the Soviet authorities during the Brezhnev era.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      MY GIRL TISA (1948) [dir.

This is a tough one. We cover Lewis Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front, released on April 21, 1930. This is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed (and highly controversial) WWI novel. This is our first film that we are intimately familiar with: Sara has seen it dozens of times. That being said, because Sara lost her brother (and, therefore, Dad his son) in the Iraq war, this review will sound a little different. Fair warning: the subject matter and film are very intense, and we do get personal. Other excellent podcasts that cover All Quiet on the Western Front are History in Film, Best Picture Cast and The Best Pictures Podcast. Check them out, too!On the lighter side, we do cover five months of history, with several stop-offs with the births of some of our favorite actors. Books mentioned by Dad:The New Biographical Dictionary of Film by David ThomsonCinema: The First Hundred Years by David ShipmanHistory Goes to the Movies: A Viewer's Guide to the Best (and Some of the Worst) Historical Films Ever Made by Joseph RoquemorePlease leave us a review wherever you are listening!Email us rants as well as raves: sheacinema@gmail.comYou can also find us on Instagram (and now Twitter/X): @sheacinemaPoem Sara reads: Dulce et Decorum est                     by Wilfred OwenBent double, like old beggars under sacksKnock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,And towards our distant rest began to trudge.Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind;Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hootsOf gas-shells dropping softly behind.Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumblingFitting the clumsy helmets just in time,But someone still was yelling out and stumblingAnd flound'ring like a man in fire or limeDim through the misty panes and thick green light,As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.In all my dreams before my helpless sightHe plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.If in some smothering dreams, you too could paceBehind the wagon that we flung him in,And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin,If you could hear, at every jolt, the bloodCome gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,Obscene as cancer,Bitter as the cudOf vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–My friend, you would not tell with such high zestTo children ardent for some desperate glory,The old Lie: Dulce et decorum estPro patria mori.

Episode 45: ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1930) This week, we discuss the oldest movie remaining: the Best Picture winner from the third Academy Awards (TM) ceremony covering the years 1929-1930. All Quiet on the Western Front is an early sound film based on Erich Maria Remarque's 1929 German novel. The film follows very young men who eagerly sign up for service in World War I. They soon come face to face with the horrors of war. Lewis Milestone directed this classic antiwar film. All Quiet on the Western Front ranks #25 on our countdown.* Join us next week as we jump ahead to 2003 for the fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.

“I remember about the rabbits, George.”Capturing Steinbeck and Americana on the Big ScreenHaving been writing novels for 10 years, it made sense that eventually, Hollywood would turn to John Steinbeck's novels as a source for the silver screen. The first film to make the transition was Of Mice and Men, a novella he originally wrote as a ‘playable novel' and then as a play itself. To that end, it was already the perfect size for adapting. And to that end, the film works just as well as the story. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our series on 1940 Academy Award Best Picture nominees with a conversation about Lewis Milestone's 1939 film Of Mice and Men.Here's a hint at what we talk about.For a relatively simple story, a lot happens and the story works through a variety of topics. How does the story handle a character with an intellectual disability and what does it say about those who take care of others, whether it's this character or an aging dog? What about race relations? (To that end, it may be less pointed than the book but the film still feels like it handles race better than Gone With The Wind does.) The script changes how Mae – the only female character in the book and the only one with any real presence in the film – fits into the story. Here, we get a sense of the tragedy of this character, which does a lot to paint the gender differences in this place at this time. There's also the moralistic, religious, and humanistic angles we discuss. The casting is fantastic. Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney, Jr. play our two leads and deliver complex, compassionate performances that are the beating heart of this film. Betty Field plays Mae and rounds the character out with resonance and depth that never were on Steinbeck's pages, even if possibly inferred. The rest of the cast fits impeccably into their roles. Lewis Milestone directs and handles the story effectively and efficiently. And having Aaron Copeland score the film only enhances its feel of Americana.This film stands strong as a version of this film that's worth remembering. It's definitely one of the best films of the year and certainly worthy of its Best Picture nomination. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

A brand-new venture begins as the guys start conquering the 100 Greatest War Movies of All-Time (according to PASTE Magazine) by starting out with a rather important one - the 1930 adaptation of book-to-silver screen All Quiet on the Western Front. The guys talk about how such a vehemently anti-war film in 1930 must have been quite a sight to see and discuss the censorship of the film throughout the world, the modern filmmaking techniques that even Steven Spielberg must've taken note of for his films, the strategic use of older actors playing the main teenage characters, the fascinating story behind the dying french soldier in the trenches and much, much more.   Next week: Hacksaw Ridge.

Our Warner Brothers 1943 episode is a very special one, a Popular Front anti-Nazi double feature, the Stalinist propaganda film Mission to Moscow (directed by Michael Curtiz) and Lewis Milestone's drama about Norwegian resistance to the Nazi occupation, Edge of Darkness. We attempt (as complete non-experts!) to lay out the stakes involved in the case made by Mission to Moscow and discuss the circumstances of the film's production and the impact it made on Hollywood. Then we move on to Milestone and screenwriter Robert Rossen's depiction of what it takes to form a successful resistance movement—in this case led by a subdued Errol Flynn and a steely Ann Sheridan. Come to find out how Dave and Elise would have felt about living through Stalin's Five-Year Plans, stay to find out whether or not they would have been quislings.

In week 2 of our Public Domain theme month we watched the 1946 movie The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. 

On this episode of The Snub Club, our ensemble discusses the 1962 remake Mutiny on the Bounty. Directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Marlon Brando, Mutiny on the Bounty was nominated for seven Academy Awards but lost out on each one. In this episode, Danny, Sarah and Caleb discuss the 95th Academy Awards, some stellar production design, and Marlon Brando's truly bizarre behavior.   The Snub Club is a biweekly podcast about cinema history where we discuss the film from every year's Academy Awards with the most nominations but no wins.

The boys are back! Justin, Allan, and Tyler return for the second episode of Better Than the Movie. This time, they're going over not one, but TWO adaptations of Erich Maria Remarque's war classic All Quiet on the Western Front: the 1930 Best Picture winner, directed by Lewis Milestone, and the 2022 German-language version directed by Edward Berger. What are the gang's takes on the war movie canon? Does either adaptation stack up to the original novel? What did you, the fans decide? The anticipation is killing me! __________________________________________________________________ Produced by Mick Kowaleski and Justin Remer Music by Duck the Piano Wire

Wie sagte schon der legendäre Jonny Cash: and it burns, burns, burns - in diesem Fall nicht der Ring of Fire, sondern der Verbrenner, und mit diesen Worten treten die beiden Streithähne gegeneinander an, wenn es darum geht das Aus für den Verbrennermotor zu diskutieren. Auf der einen Seite steht Marci als Verfechter des Verbrenners und fordert eine verlängerte Laufzeit, beziehungsweise den Einsatz von alternativen Kraftstoffen, während auf der anderen Seite Heiko, der Fürsprecher der reinen Elektromotoren, ein sofortiges Ende jeglicher Verbrennungsmotoren anstrebt. Hört rein, wenn Marci über die Vorzüge von e-fuels labert und seid gespannt, wenn Heiko über die unnötige Verlängerung einer ausgereizten Technologie redet. Dabei tanken die beiden Labertaschen ausgiebig Brennstoff verschiedenster Art und liefern nicht nur heiße Luft, sondern Argumente mit einem hohen Wirkungsgrad. Der Letzte macht den Verbrenner aus, bis bald, Otto Motor Marci & Stromer Heiko Feedback: wir_labern@gmx.net Insta: Wir _labern Film: Viel Rauch um Nichts (USA, 1978, Tue Adler, Tommy Chang, Cheech Marin) Im Westen nichts Neues (USA, 1930, Lewis Milestone, Lew Ayres) Musik: The Trammps - Disco Inferno Quellen: Wikipedia.de Tagesschau.de

This week, we turn our attention to the original movie adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's classic WWI novel, "All Quiet on the Western Front," directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Lew Ayres in his first major role. We compare Milestone's groundbreaking, early-sound era (1930)film to the remake currently nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, analyze the films' political intentions, praise Milestone's innovative filmmaking techniques, discuss the original film's complicated reception, and much more.

The Cinema Sideshow is hosted by Zeke Morgan-Hind and Jake De Agrela. This week on the show, the boys compare two adaptations on the same novel made nearly 100 years apart: Lewis Milestone's 1930 version and Edward Berger's 2022 version of 'All Quiet on the Western Front'.

Kenny and Mike open the 5th season of Faithspotting by discussing the film and faith issues spotted in the latest film version of Erich Maria Remarque's 1928 novel All Quiet on the Western Front. The 1930 film won the Best Picture and Best Director Oscar for Lewis Milestone.  the 2022 film, directed by Edward Berger and staring Felix Kammerer as Paul Baumer and Albrecht Schuch as veteran Stanislaus Katczinsky. All Quiet on the Western Front follows the 17 year old German student Paul, and his classmates who, whipped into a war frenzy by their school master, volunteer to serve in the German army in the last year of the war. Told they would be marching into Paris in a matter of weeks, the boys are driven to the stalemate that is the trench warfare of the first world war. The film also depicts the contrasts between those who fight in the trenches and the Generals who make decisions with little to no regard for the lives and welfare of the soldiers in the trenches. Kenny and Mike compare the film favorably with some of the great films depicting war, Saving Private Ryan, 1917, and Paths of Glory. All Quiet on the Western Front is German submission for the Best International Film Oscar for the 2023 Academy Awards. Faith Issues Spotted: The purpose and need for the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount and Plain in Matthew and Luke 6, and Paul's teaching in Romans 12. Disciples of Jesus are called to love enemies and return hate and persecution with love and forgiveness.  Followers of Christ are called to seek and live for the Kingdom of God by living by Righteousness rather than the ways and expectations of the ways of the world.  The film also echoes the need for the teaching of Galatians 3:28, that disciples of Jesus are all one, united in Christ, and no longer Jew or Gentile, male or female, slave or gree. Christians, as the Israelites are residents and aliens of the worldly nations and citizens of the Kingdom of God. All Quiet on the Western Front is rated R for Violence.      

Oggi due film con didascalie finali. Sappiamo tutti quanto sono insopportabili ormai. Ma in uno dei due ci è piaciuta, nell'altro decisamente meno. Si parla di "Niente di nuovo sul fronte occidentale" di Edward Berger, terzo adattamento cinematografico dal romanzo di Erich Maria Remarque dopo Lewis Milestone e Delbert Mann, e di "La stranezza" di Roberto Andò, successo al botteghino italiano nelle ultime settimane.

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 20:07:47 +0000 https://die-filmanalyse.podigee.io/76-im-westen-nichts-neues 2b6b698cd74d803e86d3e739235070ec Die Filmanalyse Zum dritten Mal wurde nun Erich Maria Remarques berühmter Antikriegsroman „Im Westen nichts Neues“ verfilmt. Lewis Milestone's Adaption von 1930 ist ein Meisterwerk, doch die Neuverfilmung ist dieser Version ebenbürtig – wenngleich Regisseur Edward Berger eine Akzentverschiebung vornimmt, indem er die zähen Friedensverhandlungen zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich in einigen Szenen schildert. Im Mittelpunkt steht dennoch Paul Bäumer, der zusammen mit seinen Mitschülern, die gerade frisch das Abitur in der Tasche haben, zunächst glaubt, in ein großes Abenteuer zu ziehen, bis der erste Angriff gleich alle Illusionen raubt. Das Grauen des Krieges zeigt Kameramann James Friend in leicht stilisierten und zugleich hyperrealistischen Bildern, deren Farbgebung an Gemälde von Otto Dix erinnern. Dass der Mensch im Krieg seine Individualität verliert, war selten so klar und schmerzhaft zu erleben wie hier. Der Film erscheint im richtigen Augenblick, denn die Militarisierung der Gesellschaft schreitet fröhlich voran. Mehr dazu von Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Filmanalyse.

ANYTHING GOES COMPOSER: Cole Porter LYRICIST: Cole Porter BOOK: Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, revisions by Howard Lindsay & Russell Crouse DIRECTOR: Howard Lindsay CHOREOGRAPHER: Robert Alton PRINCIPLE CAST: William Gaxton (Billy), Ethel Merman (Reno), Victor Moore (Moonface) OPENING DATE: Nov 21, 1934 CLOSING DATE: Nov 16, 1935 PERFORMANCES: 420 SYNOPSIS: Set on a luxury liner that is sailing from New York to London, Billy, a lovelorn stock broker, attempts to win back his true love, Hope, while being guided in matters of the heart by brassy entertainer Reno Sweeney.  Robert W. Schneider argues that the oft-revived, oft-edited book musical, Anything Goes, houses a depth of social and political satire that was so topical and current upon its premiere that it is regularly overlooked by artists and audiences approaching the work. An in-depth analyses of Cole Porter's lyrics for select list songs in the show reveal commentary on American pop culture which align with the themes in the piece and suggest characters' milieu but, when studied more closely, hint at more subversive implications and taboo practices. The breakdowns demonstrate how a close reading of Anything Goes' score may provide readers with a sense of Porter's views on American life as well as his prowess as a lyricist. Robert W. Schneider holds academic appointments at Penn State University, New York Film Academy, and Mount Union University, as well as serving as the Artistic Director for The J2 Spotlight Musical Theater Company and as an original programming producer at Feinstein's/54 Below in New York City. He is the host of the podcasts Behind The Curtain: Broadway's Living Legends, Gay Card Revoked, and This Was A Thing. For the past fifteen years Robert has been one of the most prolific leaders of online education in the arts. He is a proud member of SDC, AEA, and AGVA.

Remark lindi në 22 qershor 1898 në Osnabryk të Gjermanisë. Një vit, pasi kishte filluar kolegjin si mësues, në nëntor të vitit 1916 shkruhet në ushtri. Plagoset nga një granatë në këmbën e majtë, krahun e djathtë dhe në qafë. Atëherë fillon të punojë për një roman mbi luftën. Del nga spitali, për të kaluar në batalionin e parë të këmbimit, në regjimentin 78 të ushtrisë në Osnabrück. I jepet medalja “Ylli i Ferrit”, klasi i parë, në Duisburg nga ana e Këshillit të Punëtorëve dhe Ushtarëve të Osnabrückut, por shkarkohet nga ushtria dhe heq dorë nga medaljet dhe dekorimet. Rifillon studimet e lëna për gjysmë dhe më pas punon për pak kohë si mësues filloreje. Në 29 janar të vitit 1929, publikohet si libër “Asgjë e re nga fronti i perëndimit” në Berlin. Ndërkohë punon për dy vepra paralelisht. Në 29 prill vjen shfaqja e parë e filmit “Asgjë të re nga fronti i perëndimit” me regji të Lewis Milestone, i cili për herë të parë shfaqet në Gjermani në muajin dhjetor. Ka reagime nga nacional – socialistët e Gjermanisë të udhëhequr nga Joseph Goebbels. Filmi ndalohet dhe çohet për kontroll në Berlin. Në vitin 1931 propozohet për Çmimin Nobel për paqen. Një vit më vonë fillon punën për një nga kryeveprat e tij “Tre shokët“. Në 10 maj ndalohen të gjitha librat e Remarkut në Berlin dhe në nëntor policia konfiskon “Asgjë e re nga fronti i perëndimit”. Në vitin 1938 publikohet në gjermanisht “Tre shokët” në Amsterdam dhe në 20 maj vjen shfaqja e parë kinematografike e këtij romani me regji të Frank Borzage. Në 4 korrik çatdhetarizohet nga Gjermania dhe disa muaj më vonë edhe bashkëshortja e tij Ilse Jutta Zambona. Nis punën për “Harkun e Triumfit“. Në shtator të vitit 1939 shkon në Los Angelos ku do të nisë një histori dashurie me Marlene Dietrich. Atje njihet me Greer Garson, Orson Welles, Igor Strawinsky, Arthur Rubinstein, Lion Feuchtwanger, Emil Ludwig, Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Cary Grant, Luggi Wolff e Brigitte Neuner – Wolff dhe shumë artistë të tjerë emigrantë. I jep fund lidhjes së ngushtë me Marlene Dietrich dhe disa muaj më vonë do të krijojë një lidhje të shkurtër me Greta Garbo. Në shtator të vitit 1942 zhvillon një takim me zv/ presidentin amerikan Wallace për të diskutuar mbi një aksion të mundshëm anti – fashist. Në tetor të vitit 1943 vendoset përfundimisht në New York. Në 15 dhjetor Elfriede Remarque (e motra) dënohet me vdekje nga Gjykata Naziste për “sabotim” dhe vritet në Berlin, lajm të cilin shkrimtari e mësoi dy vjet më vonë. Në 25 gusht 1944 përfundon versionin e parë të “Harkut të Triumfit“, i cili botohet në muajin dhjetor në New York dhe disa muaj më vonë edhe në gjermanisht. Shumë shpejt fillon të punojë mbi romanin “Kohë për të jetuar, kohë për të vdekur”. Është koha kur shëndeti i tij fillon të lëkundet. Fillon mjekimet dhe mëson se ka diabet.

Remark lindi në 22 qershor 1898 në Osnabryk të Gjermanisë. Një vit, pasi kishte filluar kolegjin si mësues, në nëntor të vitit 1916 shkruhet në ushtri. Plagoset nga një granatë në këmbën e majtë, krahun e djathtë dhe në qafë. Atëherë fillon të punojë për një roman mbi luftën. Del nga spitali, për të kaluar në batalionin e parë të këmbimit, në regjimentin 78 të ushtrisë në Osnabrück. I jepet medalja “Ylli i Ferrit”, klasi i parë, në Duisburg nga ana e Këshillit të Punëtorëve dhe Ushtarëve të Osnabrückut, por shkarkohet nga ushtria dhe heq dorë nga medaljet dhe dekorimet.

In this Studios Year by Year episode, 1936 begins with Paramount, and we take a look at two movies about gun-running that star Gary Cooper, but have little else in common (despite using the same cinematographer). We don't find much to love about Cecil B. DeMille's tribute to Wild West mythology, The Plainsman, starring Gary Cooper as an insufficiently hirsute Wild Bill Hickock and Jean Arthur as a whip-happy Calamity Jane; but Dave waxes enthusiastic about Lewis Milestone's The General Died at Dawn, an off-kilter Popular Front movie that's half-Hitchcock espionage romance, half-poetic realist manifesto.

Featuring an interview with Kristen Lopez of the Ticklish Business podcast. Barbara Stanwyck deserves to be considered among the greatest stars of classic Hollywood. Why do Hepburn, Davis & Crawford get all the love? This hidden noir gem from 1946 provides the perfect opportunity to dip our toe in the 70 year career of this screen legend. Directed by Lewis Milestone. Written by Roberts Rossen & Riskin. Starring Barbara Stanwyck, Van Heflin, Lizbeth Scott & Introducing Kirk Douglas. How is the world wrong about this film? From Andras: This film has so much going for it. A lurid title. An amazing cast led by one of the greatest actresses of the era. The screen debut of Kirk Douglas. And yet, I never hear anyone talking about it. Well, that ends now. My strange love for “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers” will not be deterred.

Mark and Izzy return after a long hiatus to bring you an archive episode from November 2019 before launching into series 3 this Autumn. This month, your friendly Oscarologists discuss the Academy's interest in exploring unique perspectives on World War 1. All Quiet On The Western Front is director Lewis Milestone's epic, realistic and harrowing account of WW1 told through the eyes of the german 2nd company, based on the Remarque novel of the same name. Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa is also a literary adaption of the biography of Karen Blixen (played by Meryl Streep), a danish woman who experiences WW1 whilst living near Nairobi. Thank you to Thomas Whitelaw for our intro music and Rachel Valentine Smith for our artwork.

Today we're taking a look at Holiday (1938), arguably the most understated of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn's four films together. We discuss the early years and muses of playwright Philip Barry, Holiday's role in launching Hepburn's career, her contentious but unwavering friendship with director George Cukor, and we finally have a legitimate reason to talk about Lew Ayres — plus Candice serves up another edition of her Puppet Corner and tackles the ultimate question: is it weird that Edward Everett Horton lived with his mom? Candice would like to clarify that she is aware she mixed up Lewis Milestone and Jacques Tourneur in her Night of the Demon (1957) anecdote and is suitably repentant. Please don't haunt us, Jacques Tourneur.

Story: Am Ende des Koreakriegs 1953 verhandeln die Gegner bereits über den Frieden, da erhält Lt. Joe Clemones den Befehl, noch eine Hügelkette einzunehmen. Denn, so fürchten die US-Verhandlungsführer, falls die Hügel in die Hände der Chinesen fielen, würden sie ihre Gesichter gegenüber dem kommunistischen Gegner verlieren: Ein unvorstellbarer Affront! Also führt Clemons seine Männer in einen Kampf ohne jeden militärischen Nutzen. Aber Befehl ist Befehl. Und das heißt: Siegen oder sterben.

Remembering Kirk Douglas For seven decades, Kirk Douglas was a Hollywood fixture, and for the first half of that era, he was one of the motion picture industry’s biggest stars. He worked for some of Hollywood’s greatest directors including Stanley Kubrick, Billy Wilder, Vicente Minnelli and Lewis Milestone. His costars included Burt Lancaster in seven movies, Tony Curtis, Lana Turner, Barbara Stanwyck .His son, Michael Douglas, carried on his legacy and became one of the most important actors in Hollywood. Kirk Douglas was one of the last links to the earlier Hollywood of the star system.

We return to the trenches of the first World War to consider Sam Mendes’ 1917 within the greater history of World War I films generally, and as a companion to Peter Weir’s GALLIPOLI specifically. Following some debate over whether 1917’s continuous shot gimmick makes it more or less emotionally affecting, and an attempt to parse the film’s attitudes about war, we look at these two films in tandem to consider what they have to say about the failures of leadership in wartime, their respective depictions of young male friendship and communication, and to what extent each registers as an anti-war film. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.

Listen to us discuss the original Oceans 11 from 1960 starring the Rat Pack. Army buddies hatch a scheme to steal money from 5 casinos in Las Vegas at the same time. It doesn't quite go the way they hoped...

"You’re just in time for the jokes." Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. were a part of what people called ‘The Rat Pack,’ a group of friends who all started hanging out regularly back at Humphrey Bogart’s and Lauren Bacall’s place. The members changed over time, but Sinatra, Martin and Davis always seemed to be the core trio. The three only appeared in a handful of films together, and the one they’re most known for is the heist film Ocean’s 11. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off our Ocean’s series with Lewis Milestone’s original 1960 Rat Pack film, Ocean’s 11. We talk about why the film doesn’t hold up very well for today’s audience and how it really takes someone who was much more connected to the Rat Pack group to really connect with this film today. We look at the script and its shift from drama to comedy, and why perhaps that shift during development left the script largely feeling disjointed and disconnected. We discuss the cast and try to answer why they’re largely uninteresting and unlikeable. We chat about the ending of the film and debate whether it’s effective or not. And we touch on the songs in the film – notably “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head” – and stew on why it wasn’t recognized by the Academy. It’s a film that unfortunately feels very dated, which means it may only appeal to audiences who really were fans of the Rat Pack. That doesn’t stop us from having a great conversation about it! So check it out then tune in! The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins.

Lewis Milestone’s ground-breaking sound film epic treats WWI not as an allegory, as many of its predecessors had, but as a painfully human story, showing the hopes and fears of a group of young men being thrust into battle. While in no way an obscure film, it had been cut to ribbons by a variety of editors over the years until it was merely a shell of its former self. Enter The Library of Congress Motion Picture Conservation Center, which worked diligently for more than five years to restore this magnificent film as close as possible to its original form.
