Jaume Segalés y su equipo comentan asuntos de la actualidad y traen las mejores recomendaciones culturales. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: ‘El otro lado de la cama' Muchos recordarán el éxito que supuso ‘El otro lado de la cama' para el cine español allá en por el año 2002. Una comedia romántica y dramática, emotiva y divertida, que ahora podemos volver a disfrutar en versión escénica musical en el Nuevo Teatro Alcalá (c/ Jorge Juan, 62), de miércoles a domingos en su Sala 2. Las canciones que los personajes cantaban, y cuyas letras estaban absolutamente relacionadas con la trama, fueron sin duda una de las claves de su éxito. Temas de artistas como Kiko Veneno, Tequila, Mastretta, Los Rodríguez, Paloma San Basilio o Coque Malla, entre muchos otros. Además, su guion sigue absolutamente vigente, gracias a su forma de abordar, con mucho humor y también profundidad, asuntos como la infidelidad, los celos, el deseo, la inseguridad emocional y la amistad. Todo ello navegando a través del amor, del sexo y del humor con muchísima ironía y, por supuesto, también música. En esta propuesta escénica que acoge el Nuevo Teatro Alcalá, Borja Rabanal se han encargado de la adaptación teatral del libreto original de David Serrano, mientras que Joan Olivé dirige a las 3 parejas implicadas en esta célebre historia de enredo. Entrevistamos al actor que interpreta a Ernesto, Adrià Olay. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre 'Mi amor brasileño' (Latin Lovers). Comedia romántica estadounidense de 1953 dirigida por Mervyn LeRoy y protagonizada por Lana Turner, Ricardo Montalban y John Lund. El film, producido por Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, cuenta la historia de Nora Taylor (Lana Turner), una rica heredera que ansía encontrar el amor verdadero a la vez que se mantiene suspicaz respecto a los hombres que encuentra en su camino, pensando que sólo les interesa su dinero. Algo que contrasta con el hecho de que su novio Paul Chevron (John Lund) sea más rico que ella. Durante un viaje de la pareja en Brasil, ella se enamora del carismático Roberto Santos (Ricardo Montalban), quien sí está en apuros económicos. Así, la protagonista se ve abocada a tomar una difícil decisión.

La saga James Bond, Le Hobbit, Thelma et Louise, Rocky, 2001 L'Odyssée de l'espace, Ben-Hur, La Mort aux trousses… Tous ces films et plus de 4000 autres ont un point commun : leur visuel d'ouverture, un lion animé rugissant, dans un anneau de bandes de films dorées portant le slogan “ars gratia artis”, “l'art est la récompense de l'art” en latin. Ce logo, c'est celui de la société de production hollywoodienne MGM, la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. L'entreprise est créée en 1924 à la suite de la fusion de la société Metro Pictures et des Studios de Samuel Goldwyn et Louis B. Mayer. Le premier propriétaire de la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer est l'un des principaux exploitants de salles de cinéma aux États-Unis, Marcus Loew. De quand date cette société de production ? Ça a toujours été le même lion ? Et aujoud'hui, le logo a-t-il changé ? Ecoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture".

El 17 de abril de cada año se celebra en todo el mundo el Día Mundial de la Hemofilia, una fecha proclamada por la Federación Mundial de Hemofilia (FMH) que eligió la fecha en conmemoración del nacimiento de su fundador Frank Schnabel. El objetivo de este Día Mundial de la Hemofilia es concienciar a la población sobre la enfermedad y lograr compartir conocimientos e investigación para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con esta enfermedad. ¿Qué es la hemofilia? La hemofilia es una patología congénita, que no permite que la sangre se coagule de la manera correcta. Es un padecimiento crónico y progresivo que se caracteriza por presentar hemorragias de forma permanente en el paciente, las cuales se dan de manera repentina. Esto ocurre por la no presencia en la sangre de una proteína esencial denominada Factor de Coagulación. Cuando existe un defecto en el factor de coagulación, se forma más lentamente el coágulo que impide el sangrado. Como consecuencia, las lesiones o heridas sangran durante más tiempo del debido. El síntoma recurrente, es la presencia de sangrado, pero que termina afectado otros sistemas del organismo que son vitales para la vida. 1492: en España, los Reyes Católicos y Cristóbal Colón firman las Capitulaciones de Santa Fe, convenio previo a su supuesto viaje a Asia para adquirir especias. 1610: el rey Felipe III ordena la expulsión de los moriscos de Aragón. 1711: se forma el Cuerpo de Ingenieros Militares por real decreto de Felipe V. 1888: en Inglaterra se constituye la Liga de Fútbol Profesional, formada por doce equipos. 1924: en Estados Unidos se crea la empresa cinematográfica Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, fusión de Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures, y la Louis B.

Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar, soy su anfitrión, José Enrique Guzmán y hoy dejaremos el suelo firme para lanzarnos a una misión de supervivencia desesperada, pero extrañamente divertida. Hablemos de Proyecto Fin del Mundo. Imaginen despertar en una nave espacial, a años luz de casa, con amnesia total y dos cadáveres como únicos compañeros de cuarto. No parece el mejor inicio de semana, ¿verdad? Pues esa es la premisa de la nueva joya de la ciencia ficción dirigida por el dúo dinámico de Phil Lord y Christopher Miller. Estos dos, que ya nos volaron la cabeza con Una Película de LEGO y el universo animado de Miles Morales y su Spider-Verse, se han aliado con Drew Goddard en el guion—quien ya hizo magia adaptando The Martian (Misión Rescate)— para darnos algo que el cine necesitaba a gritos. Esta historia nace de la mente de Andy Weir, el mismo tipo que nos hizo amar la botánica en Marte. La transición del papel a la gran pantalla fue casi instantánea; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer compró los derechos del libro por una cifra millonaria antes siquiera de que la novela llegara a las librerías. ¿La razón? El carisma irresistible de Ryan Gosling, quien se enamoró del proyecto desde el primer borrador y decidió que él sería Ryland Grace, nuestro profesor de ciencias convertido en salvador de la humanidad. La trama, sin entrar en terrenos peligrosos de spoilers, nos presenta a Grace intentando resolver un rompecabezas cósmico: el Sol se está apagando por culpa de un organismo microscópico y él es la última esperanza de la Tierra. Armado solo con su ingenio, un laboratorio de alta tecnología y mucha, mucha ciencia, Grace debe recordar quién es y cómo salvar al sistema solar. Lo que hace a Proyecto Fin del Mundo especial es su espíritu. Vivimos en una era cinematográfica obsesionada con el cinismo y la distopía. Parece que si el futuro no es un desierto lleno de zombis o una tiranía digital, no nos interesa. Pero esta película es un regreso glorioso al cine de ciencia ficción positivo, optimista y esperanzador. Es una oda a la sinceridad emocional que ya casi no vemos. Nos recuerda que la inteligencia, la empatía y la cooperación son nuestras mejores herramientas contra la extinción. Proyecto Fin del Mundo podría describirse, sin exagerar, como la película que un Steven Spielberg inspirado habría hecho en los años 80. Es una mezcla perfecta entre la escala épica de Interestelar, el asombro por lo desconocido de Encuentros Cercanos del Tercer Tipo y esa conexión emocional profunda y pura que nos hizo llorar en E.T. El Extraterrestre. Preparen sus suministros, revisen su oxígeno y no se despeguen, porque hoy vamos a descubrir que, a veces, para salvar al mundo, lo único que necesitas es un poco de ciencia y un amigo inesperado. Esto es Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas.  Comencemos.Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que lo disfruten! #CinefiliaYOtrasHierbas #ProjectHailMary #AndyWeir #RyanGosling #SciFi #CineDeCienciaFiccion #Astrofisica #RylandGrace #PodcastDeCine #RockyPHM

"Der deutsche Tycoon" - Uwe Kullnick spricht mit Christof Weigold - Hörbahn on Stage(Hördauer ca. 36 min Lesung, Hördauer ca. 70 Gespräch)Privatdetektiv Hardy Engel würde für seine Freunde alles tun. Als einer von ihnen stirbt, verbeißt er sich in einen Mordfall, der bald schon legendär wird.Als Hardy Engel 1920 nach Amerika einwanderte, bekam er dabei entscheidende Hilfe von seinem Landsmann Paul Levy, den er danach aus den Augen verlor. 1932 trifft Engel, inzwischen Privatdetektiv, ihn wieder. Levy ist unter dem Namen Paul Bern zu einem mächtigen Filmproduzenten von Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer geworden – und Ehemann von Hollywood-Superstar Jean Harlow. Mitten in der Weltwirtschaftskrise scheint es, als sei das Wiedersehen ein Glücksfall für den arbeitslosen Detektiv, der von Paul einen lukrativen Auftrag bekommt. Und auch für seinen Freund, den Barbesitzer Buck, der massive Schulden bei der Mafia hat. Doch dann liegt Paul ermordet in seiner Villa, und Hardy wird in einen Fall hineingezogen, der ihn fordert wie noch keiner zuvor und der alte Freundschaften infrage stellt. ...Christof Weigold, 1966 in Mannheim geboren, schrieb Theaterstücke, war fester Autor der Harald-Schmidt-Show und arbeitet heute als freier Drehbuchautor für Film und Fernsehen. 2018 erschien der erste Band der Reihe um den deutschen Privatermittler Hardy Engel, Der Mann, der nicht mitspielt. Weigold gewann damit den Preis des Mordsharz-Festivals für das beste deutschsprachige Debüt und war für den Glauser-Preis nominiert. Es folgten drei weitere Teile: Der blutrote Teppich, Die letzte Geliebte und Der böse Vater. In Das brennende Gewissen ermittelt zum ersten Mal der Fallanalytiker Felix Petry, der wie Christof Weigold in München lebt.⁠Wenn Ihnen dieser Beitrag gefallen hat, hören Sie doch auch einmal hier hinein⁠oder vielleicht in diese SendungKommen Sie doch auch einfach mal zu unseren Live-Aufzeichnungen nach SchwabingTechnik: Jupp Stepprath, Redaktion und Realisation Uwe Kullnick

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy ponemos el foco en la situación actual de la saga James Bond, una franquicia que continúa inmersa en la búsqueda de su próximo protagonista. Han pasado ya cinco años desde el estreno de No Time To Die, la película que marcó la despedida definitiva de Daniel Craig como el icónico agente 007. Desde entonces, los responsables de la saga no han logrado cerrar el relevo, y los rumores no han dejado de circular. El nombre que más fuerza ha ganado en los últimos tiempos es el de Callum Turner, aunque anteriormente también sonaron con insistencia actores como Aaron Taylor-Johnson o Tom Hardy. Mientras el tiempo avanza sin novedades concretas, la importancia económica de la franquicia sigue siendo incuestionable. Las cinco películas protagonizadas por Daniel Craig lograron recaudar en conjunto alrededor de 4.000 millones de dólares en taquilla. De todas ellas, Skyfall fue la más exitosa, superando por sí sola la barrera de los 1.000 millones a nivel mundial. Estos resultados convirtieron a James Bond en un objetivo muy atractivo para Amazon, que decidió dar un paso estratégico en 2022 al adquirir el histórico estudio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, propietario de los derechos cinematográficos de 007, por una cifra superior a los 8.000 millones de dólares. Sin embargo, lo que prometía ser una operación altamente rentable se ha visto frenado por conflictos internos. El principal obstáculo ha sido el desacuerdo entre Amazon y los herederos de Albert Broccoli, Barbara Broccoli y Michael G. Wilson, figuras clave en el control creativo de la saga durante décadas. En 2024, The Wall Street Journal reveló que Amazon quería expandir la franquicia con un modelo similar al de Marvel, repleto de derivados y spin-offs, una idea que generó un profundo rechazo por parte de Barbara Broccoli y deterioró gravemente la relación. La situación empezó a desbloquearse en febrero de este año, cuando Amazon alcanzó un acuerdo con los herederos para crear una empresa conjunta. Aunque no se hicieron públicos los términos económicos, este pacto otorgó a la compañía de Jeff Bezos un mayor control sobre el futuro de las películas. Según The Sun, el objetivo sería estrenar la próxima entrega a finales de 2027, con un presupuesto cercano a los 250 millones de libras. Por ahora, eso sí, James Bond sigue sin rostro, director ni fecha definitiva.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, created in 1924 by the merger of three film production companies, quickly rose to become the most successful studio of the era. The record box office for the 1939 film Gone with the Wind represents the studio at its height.

Patricia Douglas was a young dancer and an extra working in Hollywood during its so-called Golden Era when she was tricked into attending a party Tinseltown's most powerful studio, MGM, was throwing for the salesmen who were making it rich on May 5th, 1937. At this party, she was dragged into the parking lot and brutally raped by one on of those salesmen. The studio would bury her assault... but decades later her truth would finally come to light and help lead to much needed change in the movie industry.  For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

In the early 1940s, Nitti convinced Ricca and the rest of the Outfit's management to extort money from film studios in Los Angeles, California . Chicago gangster John "Handsome Johnny" Roselli controlled the film industry workers' union Projectors Union and threatened the studios with strikes and other union problems. To avoid labour unrest, RKO, Paramount, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and 20th Century Fox paid several hundred thousand dollars to the Outfit. However, two Chicago Mafia men, Willie Bioff and George Browne, were arrested for extortion and agreed to testify against the Outfit's management. In March 1943, Ricca, Nitti and other Mafia leaders were indicted for extortion.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.

Monumentalfilmklassiker wie Ben Hur und El Cid oder der Hitchcock-Thriller Spellbound sind ohne seinen Soundtrack undenkbar. Seine mehrfach Oscar-gekrönte Hollywood-Karriere im Dienst von Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer machte den ungarisch-amerikanischen Komponisten Miklós Rózsa berühmt. Dass er eigentlich viel lieber Werke für den Konzertsaal schrieb, blieb neben dem ganzen Filmrummel lange unbemerkt. Die Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz unter Gregor Bühl legt bereits ihr zweites Rózsa-Album bei "Capriccio" vor. Alexandra Maria Dielitz hat es sich angehört.

fWotD Episode 2902: Lady Blue (TV series) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 15 April 2025 is Lady Blue (TV series).Lady Blue is an American detective and action-adventure television series. Produced by David Gerber, it originally aired for one season on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network from September 15, 1985, to January 25, 1986. It was picked up by ABC after its pilot aired as a television film on April 15, 1985. The show revolves around Chicago detective Katy Mahoney (Jamie Rose) and her violent methods of handling cases. The supporting cast includes Danny Aiello, Ron Dean, Diane Dorsey, Bruce A. Young, Nan Woods, and Ricardo Gutierrez. Johnny Depp also guest-starred on the series in one of his earliest roles. With cinematography by Jack Priestley, the episodes were filmed on location in Chicago. Television critics noted Lady Blue's emphasis on violence, calling Mahoney "Dirty Harriet" (after Clint Eastwood's character Dirty Harry). Rose said she joined the project after being drawn to its genre. She prepared for the role by watching Eastwood's films, received advice from Eastwood on how to handle a gun, and practiced at a shooting range.After the pilot aired, Lady Blue was criticized by several watchdog organizations (particularly the National Coalition on Television Violence) as the most violent show on television. ABC moved the series from Thursdays to Saturdays before cancelling it in early 1986, partially due to the complaints about excessive violence. Critical reception to the series was primarily negative during its run, but television studies author Cary O'Dell questions whether that stemmed from contemporary sexism. Lady Blue has not been released on DVD, Blu-ray, or an online streaming service. The series' rights are owned by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, but there are no plans for future home releases.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:44 UTC on Tuesday, 15 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Lady Blue (TV series) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

CONTENT WARNING: imprisonment, solitary confinement, murder, homosexuality. The duds just keep on coming this week as a movie about one of America's most dangerous (and quirky) prisoners just collapses under its own weight. Many times we celebrate directors and casts who deeply care about their subject. In this case, it somehow makes the whole experience worse, mostly because it commits the cardinal sin of being boring. It's not the worst movie we've ever seen, but it's a real drag to sit through. Oscars ‘62 continues as we talk about Birdman of Alcatraz onMacintosh & Maud Haven't Seen What?!

We keep our Oscars series rolling and well, things have been rough to start. You'd think with a musical as culturally significant and iconic as this one that the movies would have done it up for fun. Sadly, this is an incredibly BORING movie. Sure, Robert Preston is incredible, and sure, the songs are fun, but after the 3rd of 17 dance breaks, you start to realize that our director just barely made a movie. They might as well have filmed the stage production and screened that instead for as much money as they sunk into this.

Dicen que Isidoro Martínez Vela-Ferry nadaba como un delfín y terminó produciendo, dirigiendo y exhibiendo cine. Fue un grande la natación española, el mejor durante la década de los 40 que culmina con su participación olímpica en Londres 1948. Todo el mundo lo reconocía por la calle, en la prensa era el héroe, 'otra vez gana Ferry'. Pero en su vida también había mucho cine.  Su padre fue en los años 20 y 30 el gerente de la Metro Goldwyn-Mayer en España. El estudio cine mientras nadaba y las competiciones internacionales le permitieron hablar en inglés en una España de postguerra donde pocos dominaban otras lenguas. Todo ese cóctel biográfico hace que cuando llegan a España las grandes producciones americanas termine trabajando con ellos  e incluso siendo ayudante de dirección de grandes como Orson Welles, John Huston o Michael Anderson entre otros. Los extras y especialistas de las escenas más complicadas solían ser, gracias a Ferry,  sus compañeros del Real Canoe Natación Club, sobre todo nadadores y waterpolistas. Incluso él mismo Ferry se hizo famoso en la prensa de Estados Unidos tras salvar del morir ahogado a John Huston en el rodaje de "Moby Dick" , "De campeón de natación a héroe americano" titulaba la prensa en Estados Unidos. Pero su gran salto es cuando se hace productor y codirige "El pisito" con Marco Ferreri en 1958. Ahí tocó el cielo y luego vendrían sus cortometrajes documentales deportivos con Blume y Bahamontes entre otros y sus largos de ficción como 'La cara del terror' , 'Escala en Hi-fi o 'Cruzada en el mar'. También fue un pionero en los rodajes submarinos que culminan su etapa activa y creativa en el cine. Pero su relación con el régimen franquista nunca fue la mejor y terminó cansado y necesitado de tener una vida más rentable. Y sin alejarse del cine compra terrenos en la costa mediterránea y monta cines de verano y multisalas. Se hace exhibidor para completar todas las facetas del cine y así fue hasta el final de su vida en Benidorn. Muchas de su salas siguen hoy abiertas y regentadas por su familia. Hoy pueden escuchar en este podcast la vida de un grande del deporte y del cine que como tantos no ha tenido el reconocimiento que merece. Nos han hablado de  Isidoro Martínez Vela-Ferry su hijo Isidoro Martínez, su sobrino Antonio Martínez Asensio, Rodrigo Gil, director de comunicación de la Real Federación Española de Natación e hijo de Juan Gil, que nadó con Isidoro y  Carlos Heredero, crítico de cine, historiador y director editorial de Cuadernos de Cine. Han colaborado Sergio Castro, Gemma Alegrí, Iñaki Pascualena , Pascual Donate y Marcos Granados.

Robert Winfree and Mark Radulich present their Red One 2024 Movie Review!Red One is a 2024 American action-adventure Christmas fantasy comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Chris Morgan, from an original story by Hiram Garcia. The film follows the head of North Pole security (Dwayne Johnson) teaming up with a notorious hacker (Chris Evans) in order to locate a kidnapped Santa Claus (J. K. Simmons) on Christmas Eve; Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, and Wesley Kimmel also star. The film is seen as the first of a Christmas-themed franchise, produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with Seven Bucks Productions, Chris Morgan Productions, and The Detective Agency.Red One was released internationally by Warner Bros. Pictures on November 6 and was released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on November 15, 2024. The film received generally negative reviews from critics.Filming began in October 2022 in Atlanta and wrapped in February 2023. Filming ran into issues with Johnson, who was an average of seven to eight hours late to film his scenes and missed several days of shooting. These delays reportedly increased the budget by $50 million to a total of $250 million, which Garcia disputed. Johnson later admitted to frequent tardiness as well as urinating in bottles on set, but Evans and Kasdan defended him.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Med sitt unika berättande förändrade Woody Allen filmhistorien. Sedan kom tiden, och anklagelser om sexuella övergrepp, ikapp honom. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Den amerikanske regissören Woody Allen är en av filmkonstens mest uppburna personer. Han har slagit rekord i antal Oscarsnomineringar, erövrat filmfestivaler, turnerat världen runt och hyllats för sina skildringar av hemstaden New York. I sju decennier har biobesökare tjusats av Woody Allens rappa, komiska dialog och känt igen sig i hans relationsskildringar. Men det senaste decenniet har kantats av något annat än framgångar. När anklagelser om sexuella övergrepp från det tidiga 90-talet åter kom upp till ytan under MeToo-rörelsen blev Woody Allen i praktiken canceled. Frågan är vad som händer med ett konstnärskap som sträcker sig över ett halvt sekel när det synas utifrån nya perspektiv, och en ny moral.Avsnittet är gjort våren 2024 av produktionsbolaget DIST.I avsnittet medverkar P1 Kulturs journalist Lisa Bergström, programledaren Fredrik Wikingsson och författaren Caroline Ringskog Ferrada-Noli.Programledare: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare och reporter: Tobias NorströmLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonLjudklippen i programmet är hämtade från Amazon studios, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sveriges Radio, HBO MAX, Arcade Publishing, PBS, AP, France24.

The network had no idea how well the series would perform - its only previous showcase was as an hour-long audition on the 1940 series "Forecast" - so running out and getting a sponsor didn't seem to be important at that particular stage. Besides, in the show's salad days, the guest stars that did appear were of considerably low wattage. But as "Suspense" grew in popularity and began to attract a more upscale acting clientele anxious to participate in “radio's outstanding theater of thrills,” finding someone to pick up the weekly tab became a top priority for CBS. Luckily, in December 2, 1943, the series found its 'angel' in the sponsorship of Roma Wines. "Suspense's" long association with Roma (and co-branded Cresta Blanca) was good for both the series and the company; a bigger budget attracted bigger guest stars and, as the program began to climb in the ratings, the company began to enjoy substantial profits. This fruitful arrangement came to an end on November 20, 1947. Roma had been admittedly seeing other programs behind "Suspense's" back and the bright array of top Hollywood talent began to dim a bit as many of the stars began to tire of the program. CBS rolled the dice and took one heck of a chance in keeping "Suspense" on the air; the network still felt that the series was popular with audiences and they agreed to sustain the program until another sponsor could be found. How serious was CBS about keeping its prestige show? Beginning January 3, 1948, "Suspense" was moved to Saturday nights and was broadcast from 8:00 to 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. That's right: a full hour of “Suspense.” Hour-long dramatic shows were a gamble at best; many stars tended to shun these programs - a half-hour show was grueling enough to get through - and only a few, "The Lux Radio Theater" being the best example, managed to continue on the air for very long. But Lux had a sponsor all too willing to write checks on a weekly basis...while CBS, without a sponsor to back them up, was still the sole support of "Suspense." What's more, the network learned soon enough that by doubling the show from half-hour to hour-long status, they had to double the pay of the individuals working on the show as well. (Networks, as a rule, cringe at the thought of giving money away.) To jazz up "Suspense," CBS hired actor Robert Montgomery to be the host and occasional performer, figuring that on the weeks when they had to resort to a less-than "A" list of guest stars, at least Montgomery would be around to provide a certain degree of glitter. Montgomery, at it turned out, made appearances in quite a few of the hour-long shows, including both the premiere, “The Black Curtain”, and most notably in “Night Must Fall”, which allowed him to reprise the role he had created in the 1937 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture of the same name. "Suspense's" hour-long experiment closed up shop on May 15, 1948 and the show moved back to Thursday night in its familiar half-hour form through September 1962.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.350 = The Lucky Lady (February 14, 1946)00:32:10.863 = Consequences (February 21, 1946)01:02:27.676 = Black Path of Fear (March 07, 1946)01:28:53.720 = No More Alice (March 14, 1946)01:59:25.121 = The Lonely Road (March 21, 1946)02:30:10.968 = Out Of Control (March 28, 1946)03:00:17.665 = Post Mortem (April 04, 1946)03:30:40.306 = The Name of the Beast (April 11, 1946)04:01:08.422 = The Night Reveals (April 18, 1946)04:31:23.782 = Dark Journey (April 25, 1946)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.comWeird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

What's more, the network learned soon enough that by doubling the show from half-hour to hour-long status, they had to double the pay of the individuals working on the show as well. (Networks, as a rule, cringe at the thought of giving money away.) To jazz up "Suspense," CBS hired actor Robert Montgomery to be the host and occasional performer, figuring that on the weeks when they had to resort to a less-than "A" list of guest stars, at least Montgomery would be around to provide a certain degree of glitter. Montgomery, at it turned out, made appearances in quite a few of the hour-long shows, including both the premiere, “The Black Curtain”, and most notably in “Night Must Fall”, which allowed him to reprise the role he had created in the 1937 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture of the same name.

The network had no idea how well the series would perform - its only previous showcase was as an hour-long audition on the 1940 series "Forecast" - so running out and getting a sponsor didn't seem to be important at that particular stage. Besides, in the show's salad days, the guest stars that did appear were of considerably low wattage.

Legendary publicist and Friar Jim Mahoney joins Joe Sibilia to discuss his book "Get Mahoney!: A Hollywood Insider's Memoir" about his unparalleled PR career, his start in public relations at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1940s working with Clark Gable, how he came to represent Friar Frank Sinatra for 15 years, why he never watched the Rat Pack shows while he was with the group in Las Vegas, why Sinatra didn't appear on a television special with fellow Friar and client Bob Hope, and working on the recovery effort of Frank Sinatra Jr. after his kidnapping in 1963. Plus, Jim talks about saving Friar and client Johnny Carson from a barroom brawl while filming "Johnny Goes Home" in the 1980s, being hit in an altercation with client Judy Garland, his first encounter with his friend and fellow Friar Don Rickles, the condition under which Jim would work with Friar Jack Carter, dealing with Friar and client Joey Bishop, staying at Friar and client Paul Anka's house, and Jim's son and fellow publicist Sean jumps in to talk about booking Friar Bob Newhart on David Letterman's talk show! Special thanks to Sean Mahoney, Marilee Mahoney, and Monica Mahoney-Adler!

Joan Crawford (born Lucille Fay LeSueur; March 23, 190?[Note 1] – May 10, 1977) was an American actress. She started her career as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies before debuting on Broadway. Crawford was signed to a motion picture contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925. Initially frustrated by the size and quality of her parts, Crawford launched a publicity campaign and built an image as a nationally known flapper by the end of the 1920s. By the 1930s, Crawford's fame rivaled MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo. Crawford often played hardworking young women who find romance and financial success. These "rags-to-riches" stories were well received by Depression-era audiences and were popular with women. Crawford became one of Hollywood's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest paid women in the United States, but her films began losing money. By the end of the 1930s, she was labeled "box office poison".

This episode contains high-speed chases, modified cars and a mission to uncover secret enemy technology. It's everything you'd find in a James Bond movie, but also on a Cold War BRIXMIS mission- one that today's guest Dave Butler was part of, gathering intelligence on Soviet firepower as Britain prepared for World War Three.During their time in East Germany, Dave and his fellow officers were given the opportunity to legally break the speed limits and laws and ignore the police; it was dangerous work and the trick was to avoid being caught by the enemy cars chasing them. For the 70th anniversary of Ian Fleming's first Bond book 'Casino Royale' Dan finds out if life as a spy is really anything like the Bond stories.Produced by Mariana Des Forges, edited and mixed by Dougal Patmore.Clips courtesy ofCasino Royale (2006) / Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Releasing/ Martin CampbellCasino Royale (1967) / Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer / John HustonThe Graham Norton Show/ BBCGoldfinger / United Artists/ Guy HamiltonIf you want to get in touch with the podcast, you can email us at ds.hh@historyhit.com, we'd love to hear from you!
