Cleopatra was released in 1963 and has gone on to herald the end of the golden age of the historical epic in Hollywood. Known as one of the most expensive films to ever be made, its troubled production and the on screen connection between Taylor and Burton have both cemented its place in cinematic history.A Troubled ProductionWe have a look at some of the issues that led to production delays and there were a lot! From tricky weather conditions, Taylor's health troubles, to issues with the script, there wasn't an issue that this film didn't face in the journey to release. Dr Rad delves into the details of the factors that influenced the production including:the monetary problemsthe challenges into Twentieth Century Fox in this periodthe increasing pressure to write and shoot for Mankiewiczand Taylor's public aura in the early 1960sA Foray into Roman and Egyptian HistoryThe historical pedigree of Cleopatra is based on a few different sources including credit given to Plutarch, Appian, and Suetonius! The impetus for the film was also based on the book published in 1957, The Life and Times of Cleopatra by Carlo Maria Franzero. There's a depth of references throughout the film that have support in the ancient sources. Dr G considers:the representation of Ptolemy and his advisorsThe divided representation of Cleopatra as a savvy politician and a seductressThe burning of the library of AlexandriaThe history of where Alexander the Great's body ends up after deathThings to listen out forThe life and significance of CaesarionThe importance of Mankiewicz in bringing this project to lifeShifting to French hoursWhat's up with Mithridates?Caesar's winding journey through the MediterraneanOur historical sources for Cleopatra's lifeJulius Caesar in Egypt versus Cleopatra in RomeCleopatra's complex Mediterranean identityThe powerful representation of motherhoodElizabeth Taylor's requirements for this filmKeen to delve more into Cleopatra?

Steve Rubin’s Saturday Night At The Movies

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

Many of us grow up in homes with high expectations, but perhaps not the burden of expectation that Ben Mankiewicz experienced.  His grandfather and great uncle were prominent in Hollywood, his father in the world of politics.  Ben long ago dreamed of being a baseball broadcaster.  Along the way, he worked in sports media, hosted an eclectic news broadcast in Miami and eventually moved to California where he went on scores of auditions and batted .000.  But much like in his beloved baseball, it only takes one.  At the audition for Turner Classic Movies (TCM) in 2003, Mankiewicz hit it out of the park.  More than 20 years later, generations of classic movie fans are glad he did. I hope you enjoy the latest episode of “Before The Cheering Started with Budd Mishkin.” If you like the episode, please rate and review it on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.  And please share it on social media and by old fashioned word of mouth.

Estreou em 1941 um dos filmes que é considerado por muitos o melhor filme de todos os tempos: Cidadão Kane. Filme dirigido por Orson Welles e roteirizado por Welles e Herman J. Mankiewicz, o filme ganhou uma importância cinematográfica além do seu tempo de exibição e premiações. Foi o tempo que colocou Cidadão Kane em seu merecido lugar de destaque.O filme aborda a história de Charles Foster Kane, um magnata, dono de um conglomerado de mídia que influenciou, denunciou, propagandeou e politizou informações junto à população, impactando positiva e negativamente a vida de muita gente. Cidadão Kane desenvolve essa história que busca, através do olhar de terceiros, desvendar quem realmente foi Kane e por que, em seu leito de morte, ele disse "Rosebud".No episódio de hoje, Rafael Arinelli recebe Cecília Barroso (Cenas de Cinema), Alan Alves (colunista Cinem(ação)) e Wesley Castro (Wanna Be Nerd) para conversar sobre as inovações técnicas que o filme trouxe para o mundo do cinema e, sobretudo, sobre como a narrativa, que muitas vezes é pouco elogiada, consegue ser inventiva e moderna ao contar uma história complexa, de forma não linear e com o ponto de vista de tantos personagens.Então, sintonize seu rádio, ligue sua TV, aprume seu jornal, e venha ouvir um podcast detalhando o filme Cidadão Kane.• 03m56: Pauta Principal• 1h12m10: Plano Detalhe• 1h26m23: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Feed: https://bit.ly/cinemacaofeed• Apple Podcast: https://bit.ly/itunes-cinemacao• Android: https://bit.ly/android-cinemacao• Deezer: https://bit.ly/deezer-cinemacao• Spotify: https://bit.ly/spotify-cinemacao• Amazon Music: https://bit.ly/amazoncinemacaoAgradecimentos aos patrões e padrinhos: • André Marinho• Anna Foltran• Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Lima• Eloi Xavier• Gabriela Pastori• Guilherme S.

The book is part of the Hollywood Legends Series of the University of Mississippi Press. Despite triumphs as diverse as Monkey Business and Cleopatra, and Pride of the Yankees and Guys and Dolls, the witty, intellectual brothers spent their Hollywood years deeply discontented and yearning for what they did not have—a career in New York theater. Herman, formerly an Algonquin Round Table habitué, New York Times and New Yorker theater critic, and playwright-collaborator with George S. Kaufman, never reconciled himself to screenwriting. He gambled away his prodigious earnings, was fired from all the major studios, and drank himself to death at fifty-five. While Herman drifted downward, Joe rose to become a critical and financial success as a writer, producer, and director, though his constant philandering with prominent stars like Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, and Gene Tierney distressed his emotionally fragile wife who eventually committed suicide. He wrecked his own health using uppers and downers in order to direct Cleopatra by day and finish writing it at night, only to be very publicly fired by Darryl F.

Újabb hollywoodi klasszikust pótoltunk a héten: az All About Eve (Mindent Éváról) Joseph Mankiewicz rendezése 1950-ből. A filmet rekordszámú, 14 Oscarra jelölték, amelyből ugyancsak rekordszámú, négy jelölést kaptak a színésznők. Ezt azóta sem tudta megismételni egyetlen produkció sem. Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm és Thelma Ritter is emlékezeteset nyújtanak, mellettük még egy nyúlfarknyi szerepben Marilyn Monroe is feltűnik. Az adásunkban a wmn.hu kritikusa, Gyárfás Dorka volt a vendégünk. A Mindent Éváról a New York-i színészvilágban, a Broadway környezetében játszódik - milyen általános, és ma is érvényes állításokat fogalmaz meg a sztárságról? Hogyan száll szembe a műfaji sztereotípiákkal az átverésekkel, rivalizálással, szélhámossággal foglakozó történet? Miért lenyűgözően sokrétű Bette Davis alakítása a negyvenes éveiben járó színpadi legenda, Margo Channing szerepében? Anne Baxter hogyan lepi meg a nézőket a feltörő üdvöske, Eve Harrington szerepében? George Sanders játssza a kritikust, Addison DeWittet, akin keresztül az egész sajtóról alkot képet Mankiewicz filmje.

Join Kevin Goetz as he welcomes the host of Turner Classic Movies, Ben Mankiewicz. As a member of the illustrious Mankiewicz family, Ben provides a unique insider perspective, from delightful stories about his early life surrounded by Hollywood royalty to the privileges and expectations that come with having a famous name. He also shares colorful anecdotes about his father, who spurned the movie business in favor of making an impact through politics and public service. Throughout the episode, Ben brings his deep passion for film to life, offering thoughtful analysis and critiques on everything from beloved classics like Casablanca to defining what makes a movie truly great. His joy and encyclopedic knowledge when discussing cinema is infectious.Ben's Family Legacy and Getting into Columbia (2:42)Ben talks about his family's long history at Columbia and getting rejected initially despite his famous relatives.Ben's Father Spurning Hollywood for Public Service (8:08)Ben recounts his father Frank Mankiewicz's remarkable transition from Hollywood entertainment lawyer to a member of the Peace Corps in Peru. He further elaborates on his father's notable career milestones, which encompassed serving as Robert F. Kennedy's press secretary and spearheading George McGovern's campaign.Following His Own Path (9:15)Ben compares his interests to his father's drive to make a difference rather than join the movie business.Behind the Scenes of Turner Classic Movies (12:08)Ben describes auditioning for TCM and having long discussions about movies, playing to his strengths. Ben says seeing The Barefoot Contessa on TCM right after his audition felt like a good omen he'd get the job because it was a Mankiewicz movie.Ben's Takes on Classic Films (20:53)Ben argues audiences over time, not just critics, determine what becomes a classic film based on emotional impact. Ben names Paths of Glory and Casablanca as his favorites for their emotional resonance.On the Waterfront and the Problem with Kazan (33:47)Ben expresses admiration for On the Waterfront, acknowledging its brilliance and emotional depth, particularly praising Eva Marie Saint's performance. However, he expresses disdain for Elia Kazan's decision to name names during the McCarthy era. Mank and the Family Name (41:36)Ben talks about being a Mankiewicz, and describes being incredibly moved by the 2020 biographical drama film Mank directed by David Fincher capturing Ben's grandfather Herman's spirit.

In 2024, the beloved cable channel Turner Classic Movies will turn 30, and for host Ben Mankiewicz—who recently celebrated his 20th anniversary at the helm—he still feels “so unbelievably fortunate to be associated with the channel.” It's one of those rare networks where “it's a little bit part of your identity” and “the only channel where the channel itself matters to people,” he told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. Part of the network's charm is that it taps into nostalgia. “Nostalgia is a really powerful and important emotion. It is the emotion that connects us to our past. And our past can mean so much—family, friends, school, where you were at a time of your innocence.” In addition to the films, TCM offers a festival, the new podcast Talking Pictures, even a themed cruise. But for Mankiewicz, recommending just three films for newer fans of classic cinema is difficult. “I'll just give them three off the top of my head, I'd tell them to watch Casablanca, Paths of Glory and Three Days of the Condor.” But he's quick to add that those movies could change depending “on the day and the mood.”Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.

He's a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Tufts University, and Georgetown Day High School in Washington, DC, the school with the worst mascot in recorded history: the Grasshoppers. Mankiewicz lives in Santa Monica with his beautiful wife, their beautiful daughter, one perfect dog, and one other dog, who's available for adoption at any time. Seriously, please take him

Dos grandes directores de la historia del cine protagonizan el episodio de esta semana. Uno estadounidense, Joseph Mankiewicz, responsable de películas como 'Eva al desnudo', 'La condesa descalza' o 'Julio Cesar'; “el más inglés de los directores norteamericanos” como alguien le definió una vez. El otro es español: Carlos Saura quien a sus 91 años recibirá dentro de unos días el Goya de Honor de este año. Un buen momento por tanto para echar la vista atrás y recordar el cine y la trayectoria profesional del veterano director aragonés. Charlamos también con la productora María del Puy Alvarado que precisamente acaba de producir la última película de Saura, el documental 'Las paredes hablan'. Y en la sección dedicada al “Cine incómodo” hablamos esta semana de 'Éxtasis' la primera película comercial que mostró en la pantalla el desnudo integral de una mujer.

It can be hard to formulate long-term treatment plans when your patients are young. Syndromic craniosynostosis is diagnosable at birth, meaning that the treatment plans need to start from the get-go. In the previous episode, we spoke to Dr. Michael Markiewicz (MD DDS FACS) about craniosynostosis: how to diagnose it, what causes it, the different forms of the deformity, and why doctors shouldn't delay diagnosis. In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Mankiewicz and talk further about the syndromic aspect of craniosynostosis, looking specifically at syndromic versus non-syndromic. Dr. Markiewicz compares Apert syndrome and Crouzon syndrome, their characteristics and features, and the differing opinions on treatment plans. Dr. Markiewicz discusses the purpose of distraction osteogenesis when treating craniosynostosis, the amazing combination of virtual surgery planning and resorbable plates/screws, and why he is an advocate for cranial implants. Key Points From This Episode:The syndromes that can accompany craniosynostosis.How geneticists help diagnose syndromic craniosynostosis.Who makes up the Craniofacial team.The most common syndromes Dr. Markiewicz treats.The main characteristics and features of Apert syndrome and Crouzon syndrome.The differing opinions on treatment for Craniofacial dysostosis.The timeline for sequencing different stages of treatment.The role of the neurosurgeon, pediatric ophthalmologist, orthodontist, and OMFS.The role of virtual planning.The materials (typically titanium) used during craniosynostosis surgery.The purpose of distraction osteogenesis when treating craniosynostosis. New medical advancements Dr. Markiewicz is seeing.Why Dr. Markiewicz is an advocate for cranial implants.The consolidation phase versus the distraction period.The social management of big surgeries with a small child. Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Michael Markiewicz — https://www.michaelmarkiewiczddsmd.com/Dr. Michael Markiewicz on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-markiewicz-dds-md-mph-facs-04b02821/Dr. Michael Markiewicz on Twitter — https://twitter.com/mrmarkiewiczmdDr. Michael Markiewicz on Faceboook — https://www.facebook.com/drmichaelmarkiewiczmdddsDr. Michael Markiewicz on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelmarkiewiczmdddsDr. Michael Markiewicz Email — mrm25@buffalo.eduCraniosynostosis Surgery — https://www.chop.edu/treatments/surgical-treatment-craniosynostosisAO Foundation Surgery Reference — https://surgeryreference.aofoundation.org/Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059KLS Martin promo code EOSExo22 — https://www.klsmartin.com/

A fascinating, complex dual biography of Hollywood's most dazzling—and famous—brothers, and a dark, riveting portrait of competition, love, and enmity that ultimately undid them both. One most famous for having written Citizen Kane; the other, All About Eve; one who only wrote screenplays but believed himself to be a serious playwright, slowly dying of alcoholism and disappointment; the other a four-time Academy Award-winning director, auteur, sorcerer, and seducer of leading ladies, one of Hollywood's most literate and intelligent filmmakers. Herman Mankiewicz brought us the Marx Brothers' Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, and Duck Soup and W. C. Fields' Million Dollar Legs, wrote screenplays for Dinner at Eight and Pride of the Yankees, and cowrote Citizen Kane (Pauline Kael proclaimed that the script was mostly Herman's) and 89 others. Talented, witty (Alexander Woollcott thought him "the funniest man who ever lived"), huge-hearted, and wildly immature, Herman was a figure of renown and success. Herman went to Hollywood in 1926, was almost immediately successful (his telegram to Ben Hecht back east: "Millions are to be grabbed out here and your only competition is idiots. Don't let this get around.") and became one of the highest-paid screenwriters in Hollywood. Joe, eleven years younger, a focused, organized, and disciplined writer with a far more distinguished career, eventually surpassed his worshipped older brother, producing The Philadelphia Story, writing and directing A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve, both of which won him Oscars before seeing his career upended by the spectacular fiasco of Cleopatra. In Competing with Idiots: Herman and Joe Mankiewicz, a Dual Portrait (Knopf, 2021), we see the lives of these two men—their dreams and desires, their fears and feuds, struggling to free themselves from their dark past; and the driving forces that kept them bound to a system they loved and hated. Nick Davis, the grandson of Herman Mankiewicz and great-nephew of Joseph Mankiewicz, is a writer, director, and producer. He lives in New York City. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

Front Row Classics is thrilled to welcome Turner Classic Movies' host, Ben Mankiewicz. Ben has been an on-air host for the channel since 2003. Our interview covers his background in both film and politics. You'll also learn about some of his most memorable interviews during his tenure with TCM. Brandon and Ben also have fun discussing the pros and cons of classic film fandom. Ben Mankiewicz is the primetime host of Turner Classic Movies. When he made his TCM debut in September 2003, he became only the second host hired in the network's history.    During his career at TCM, he has introduced thousands of movies on the air. Additionally, he's become one of the best interviewers in the business, leading thoughtful and entertaining long-form conversations with more than two hundred of the industry's top talents, including Mel Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Sophia Loren, Martin Scorsese, Warren Beatty, Ava DuVernay, Annette Bening, Robert Redford, Quentin Tarantino, Jodie Foster, Brad Bird, Faye Dunaway, Lou Gossett, Jr., and Michael Douglas.    Mankiewicz is the host of TCM's first podcast, The Plot Thickens. Each of the three seasons, I'm Still Peter Bogdanovich, The Devil's Candy, and Lucy, were met with outstanding reviews and industry awards.   Since 2019, Mankiewicz has served as a contributor to the Peabody and Emmy-winning news magazine, CBS News Sunday Morning, and has hosted the American Society of Cinematographers Awards since 2018.   Prior to TCM, Mankiewicz worked as a reporter and anchor in Charleston, SC, and Miami, FL, twice being named Best Anchor in South Florida by The New Times. Additionally, he contributes to The Young Turks, an online political show he co-founded with Cenk Uygur in 2002.   Mankiewicz moved to Los Angeles nearly 75 years after his grandfather, screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz (“Mank” to his all his friends), headed west to work in the movie business. Soon after arriving, Herman cabled his friend Ben Hecht in New York, "There are millions to be grabbed out here and your only competition is idiots. Don't let this get around." His grandson is now proudly one of those idiots.   He's a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Tufts University, and Georgetown Day High School in Washington, DC, the school with the worst mascot in recorded history: the Grasshoppers.   Mankiewicz lives in Santa Monica with his beautiful wife, their beautiful daughter, one perfect dog, and one other dog, who's available for adoption at any time. Seriously, please take him.
