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.

Dans le roman graphique Seule contre Hollywood, son auteur Halim nous transporte 80 ans avant #MeToo lorsqu'une jeune actrice aura le courage d'affronter l'un des plus puissants studios hollywoodiens et de porter plainte pour agression. À 20 ans, un juge américain a dit d'elle qu'elle était la femme la plus dangereuse au monde. On était en 1937, 80 ans avant Me Too et le procès d'Harvey Weinstein. Et les dirigeants de la puissante Metro Goldwyn Mayer avaient eu l'idée, sans rien y voir de répréhensible, de livrer en pâture 120 jeunes danseuses professionnelles à 300 invités, juste pour fêter une année de bénéfices record, quitte à fermer les yeux sur le viol de certaines d'entre elles. Mais Patricia Douglas, elle, a choisi de ne pas se taire. Et elle a eu le courage de dénoncer les prédateurs d'Hollywood. L'affaire a été longtemps occultée, mais elle a fini par revenir à la surface via la presse, d'abord, puis via un documentaire.Halim est l'invité de Sur le pont des arts.

Ko so leta 1933 v filmskem studiu Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer odkupili pravice za filmsko adaptacijo zelo priljubljenega romana avstrijskega pisatelja Felixa Saltna Bambi, so nameravali posneti igrani film, a se je to kmalu izkazalo za prevelik zalogaj, zato so pravice prepustili Waltu Disneyju in vse preostalo je zgodovina … Zgodba o malem jelenčku, ki se je pod Disneyjevo taktirko precej zmehčala in se iz nekoliko temačnejšega romana za starejše bralce spremenila v živo pisano risanko za najmlajše gledalce, je dobila čisto nove razsežnosti. Le malokdo vsaj ohlapno ne pozna njene vsebine, izraz »bambi«, ki sicer izvira iz italijanske besede za otroka, pa je postal celo pogovorni sinonim za majhnega srnjačka. Bambi je dobrih sto let po nastanku romana verjetno najbolj znani jelenček na svetu poleg Božičkovega Rudolfa in končno je napočil čas ali bolje rečeno dovoljšen tehnološki napredek, da ga na filmskem platnu zaigra pravi jelen. Te zahtevne ideje se je z veliko potrpežljivosti lotil francoski scenarist in režiser Michel Fessler in se z ekipo odpravil v Orleanski gozd, da bi ob pomoči podjetja Animal Contact, ki usposablja živali za avdiovizualni svet, v naravnem okolju posnel igrani film s samimi živalskimi junaki. Rezultat je osupljiv in gledalec zlahka pozabi, da ne gleda dokumentarnega filma, ampak kosmate, pernate ali luskaste igralce, ki so prizore pred snemanjem večkrat vadili in nato tudi večkrat posneli. Seveda od njih ni moč pričakovati disneyjevske obrazne mimike ali kakšnih res zapletenih, le v risankah možnih akcij, vendar so svojo nalogo izvrstno opravile, neokrnjena narava pa seveda še bolj pripomore k pravljičnemu ozračju. Prav zato, ker je vse na meji dokumentarnosti, Bambijeva življenjska pot ni tako zelo melodramatična, kot se morda spomnimo iz risanke; v gozdu namreč ne obstajata dobro in zlo, le boj za preživetje, in tako na primer sicer neuspešni lov orla na Bambijevega zajčjega prijatelja izzveni le kot popolnoma naraven gozdni pojav – dramatičen, a brez nepotrebne drame. Edini pravi sovražnik je seveda človek. Človek, ki v gozd vdre od zunaj in s svojim nerazumevanjem in nespoštovanjem njegovih prebivalcev prepletenemu gozdnemu ekosistemu povzroča nepopravljivo škodo. Prav zaradi tega skoraj vizionarskega uvida – Salten, sicer tudi sam zagrizen lovec, ki pa je menda po puški segel le v res nujnih primerih, je delo napisal že daljnega leta 1923 – roman Bambi sodi tudi med začetnike okoljevarstvene literature. In težko bi si zamislili boljši format za osvetlitev tega danes tako žgočega problema, kot ga je v svoji vizualno čudoviti igrani filmski različici predstavil Michel Fessler in Bambija končno osvobodil disneyjevskega počlovečenja.

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?!

They're here! Join BP, Coop and Justin as we analyse the iconic original Poltergeist movie.

It stars JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, and Beatrice Straight, and was produced by Spielberg and Frank Marshall. Plot Poltergeist focuses on a suburban family whose home is invaded by malevolent ghosts that abduct their youngest daughter.

In the years since its release, the film has been recognized as a horror classic. It was nominated for three Academy Awards, named by the Chicago Film Critics Association as the 20th-scariest film ever made. Steven Spielberg involvement Accounts differ as to the level of Spielberg's involvement, but it is clear that he was frequently on set during filming and exerted significant creative control. For that reason, some have said that Spielberg should be considered the film's co-director or even main director, though both Spielberg and Hooper have disputed this. Sequels and Remake The film was followed by Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986), Poltergeist III (1988), as well as a 2015 remake, but none had the critical success of the original. The Poltergeist Curse The Poltergeist franchise is believed by some to be cursed due to the premature deaths of several people associated with the film (including Heather O'Rourke and Dominique Dunne), a notion that was the focus of an E! True Hollywood Story. Poltergeist was also featured on Season 1, episode 3 of Cursed Films. Popular Culture "Bad Dream House", the first segment of "Treehouse of Horror", the first episode of the annual The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Halloween specials, is partly a parody of Poltergeist. Spice Girls pays homage to the film in their 1997 music video for the song "Too Much". The Family Guy episode "Petergeist", Peter Griffin discovers an Indian burial ground when he attempts to build a multiplex in a backyard. When he takes an Indian chief's skull, a poltergeist invades the Griffins' home. The episode used some of the same musical cues heard in the film and recreates several of its scenes. American Dad! also parodied the film with the season 10 episode "Poltergasm", in which the Smith house has become haunted by Francine's unsatisfied sex drive, and Roger plays Ruby Zeldastein, a parody of Tangina. The 2001 comedy horror film Scary Movie 2 parodies the movie's clown doll attack in Robbie's bedroom, as well as Diane's levitation. #poltergeist #theotherside #ghost #haunt #movie #horror #1982 #80shorror #carolanne #jobethwilliams #reverendkane #tangina #clown #familyguy #drawntogether #podcast #completeguidetohorror #stevenspielberg #screamqueens

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.

Stāsta kinokritiķe, Rīgas Starptautiskā kino festivāla (Riga IFF) radošā direktore Sonora Broka. Neilgi pēc tam, kad 1927. gadā tika dibināta Amerikas Kinomākslas un kinozinātnes akadēmija, Losandželosas centrā, „Biltmore” viesnīcas kristāla zālē notika vakariņas, lai apspriestu jaunās organizācijas mērķus. Viens no šiem mērķiem bija izstrādāt metodi, kā godināt izcilus sasniegumus nozarē, tādējādi veicinot augstāku kustīgā attēla radīšanas procesa kvalitātes līmeni. Tobrīd gan Akadēmijas dienas kārtībā aktuālāki bija jautājumi, kas saistīti ar darbaspēku, nozares publisko tēlu, kā arī informācijas nodrošināšanu tehnoloģiskos un producēšanas jautājumos, un tikai 1929. gada maijā Rūzvelta viesnīcā Holivudā tika pasniegtas pirmās 12 apzeltītās statuetes, ko pazīstam kā “Oskarus”. Balvas dizaina — bruņinieka, kurš stāv uz filmas ruļļa un tur rokās zobenu – autors bija „Metro Goldwyn Mayer” jeb MGM mākslinieciskais direktors Sedriks Gibonss. Kinolentes ruļļa spoles pieci spieķi simbolizēja sākotnējās piecas akadēmijas filiāles – aktierus, režisorus, producentus, tehnisko profesiju speciālistus un scenāristus, bet zobens – nozares attīstības un labklājības aizsardzību. Ilgus gadus statuetes tika lietas bronzā un apzeltītas, bet Otrā pasaules kara gados tās tika izgatavotas no ģipša. Kādēļ Oskars? Pastāv vismaz trīs versijas – aktrise Beta Deivisa apgalvoja, ka statuetes aizmugure izskatījās gluži tāda pati kā viņas vīra Harmona Oskara Nelsona mugura. Žurnālists Sidnijs Skolskis tā nodēvēja balvu, rakstot par Ketrīnas Hepbernas uzvaru 1934. gadā, bet Akadēmijas tobrīd bibliotekārei, vēlāk izpilddirektorei Mārgaretai Herikai statuete esot atgādinājusi viņas tēvoci Oskaru. 1939. gadā laikraksts “Los Angeles Times” pārsteidzīgi nodrukāja uzvarētāju vārdus savā vakara izdevumā, kas iznāca īsu brīdi pirms ceremonijas – pateicoties šai rūgtajai mācībai, balvu ieguvējus turpmāk prese uzzināja vien kopā ar citiem, skatoties ceremoniju. 1953. gadā ASV Kinoakadēmijas balvu pasniegšanu pirmo reizi demonstrēja televīzijā, bet kopš 1969. gada ceremonija tiek pārraidīta arī ārpus ASV. Skatītāju miljoniem lēnām sarūkot pēc 2010. gada, tika nolemts ceremoniju saīsināt, kā arī sākt to agrāk. Tomēr Latvijā “Oskara” ceremoniju joprojām skatās vien rūdītākie kino fani –  tās norise pēc vietējā laika sākas nakts vidū. Mūsdienās Amerikas kinoakadēmijai ir 55 cilvēku valde, kas pārrauga 17 atsevišķas filiāles, kas pārstāv dažādas kino jomas: aktiermākslu, režiju, scenāriju, skaņas montāžu un citas. Kopš 2016. gada, kad valde paziņoja, ka dažādos Akadēmijas biedru sastāvu, tās rindas ir paplašinājušās līdz aptuveni 8000 biedriem. Uzskaitot pāris kritērijus dalībai Akadēmijā: tajā netiek uzņemti ne televīzijas profesionāļi, ne preses pārstāvji, turpretī iepriekšējo gadu nominantiem uz balvu bieži dalība tiek piedāvāta automātiski. “Oskari” tiek piešķirti 24 kategorijās, un divās no tām, pateicoties Ginta Zilbaloža filmas “Straume” neticamajiem starptautiskajiem panākumiem, šogad ir cerība izskanēt arī Latvijas vārdam. Šobrīd ir izziņoti īsie pretendentu saraksti uz nominācijām 10 kategorijās, tai skaitā arī kategorijā “labākā ārzemju filma”. Tajā līdztekus tādām Latvijā redzētām filmām kā Metjū Renkina režisētajai “Universālajai valodai”, Magnusa fon Horna “Meitenei ar adatu”, norvēģu drāmai “Armands” un Berlināles „Zelta lāča” ieguvējai Senegālas dokumentālajai filmai “Dahomejas karaliste” ierindojusies arī “Straume”.

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.

Se cumplen también 100 años del nacimiento de la Metro Goldwyn Mayer, que nació un 17 de abril de 1924 de la fusión de 3 pequeños estudios: la Metro, los Goldwyn y la Mayer. En Esto te va a sonar hablamos de la historia del mítico estudio y de su logo.

We have reached another Don Bluth animation classic! The Pebble and The Penguin. Another cult classic that 90s babies and kids hold near and dear to their hearts! The Pebble and the Penguin is a 1995 American independent animated musical comedy-adventure film directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. The film stars the voices of Martin Short, Jim Belushi, Tim Curry, and Annie Golden. Based on the true life mating rituals of the Adélie penguins in Antarctica, the film focuses on a timid, stuttering penguin named Hubie who tries to impress a beautiful penguin named Marina by giving her a pebble that fell from the sky and keep her from the clutches of an evil penguin named Drake who wants Marina for himself. Towards the end of production, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer significantly changed the film, forcing Don Bluth and Gary Goldman to leave their film and demand to have their names taken off the film. The two would later start working at Fox Animation Studios. The film was released in the United States on April 12, 1995, by MGM/UA Distribution Co., receiving negative reviews from critics and being a box office bomb, grossing only $3.9 million against a $28 million budget. It is the final film to be produced by Sullivan Bluth Studios before the studio went bankrupt and ceased operations.

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.

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.

The show experienced a re-emergence in popularity and, while the merits of the hour-long broadcasts must ultimately be decided upon by the listener, the decision by CBS to keep the series in production certainly seems in retrospect to have been the right call; "Suspense" would continue to be heard on the network for the next fourteen years, closing the curtain for the last time in September 1962.00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION00:01:54.350 = Fire Burn And Cauldron Bubble (April 06, 1943)00:31:20.444 = Two Sharp Knives (December 22, 1942)01:00:31.904 = The Pit And The Pendulum (January 12, 1943)01:30:01.398 = The Customers Like Murder (March 23, 1943)02:29:01.530 = Fear Paints a Picture (April 13, 1943)02:58:26.411 = The Moment of Darkness (April 20, 1943)03:27:50.753 = The Diary of Saphronia Winters (April 27, 1943)03:57:19.454 = Death Flies Blind (May 04, 1943)04:26:46.300 = Mr Markheim, Antique Dealer (May 11, 1943)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 12:46Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarknessWeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

Pat Mullin and Mark Radulich present our Josie and the Pussycats 2001 Movie Review!Josie and the Pussycats is a 2001 satirical musical comedy film co-produced by Universal Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Directed and co-written by Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, the film is based on both the Archie Comics series and the Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the same name. Filmed entirely in Vancouver, Canada, the film features Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, and Rosario Dawson as the Pussycats, with Alan Cumming, Parker Posey, Gabriel Mann, Paulo Costanzo, and Missi Pyle in supporting roles.Although the film's soundtrack album was well received, charting at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and quickly achieving Gold status, the film itself received mixed reviews and was a commercial failure upon its initial release. However, it has enjoyed later success as a cult film.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/markkind76alsoFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and allies like Ayn Rand were convinced that Hollywood was infested with communists. Now they started scouring the movies themselves for evidence of propaganda. Anti-communist figures in the movie business, including John Wayne and Gary Cooper, create the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals to counter groups like the Writers Guild. Even American classics like It's a Wonderful Life came under FBI scrutiny. Studios began to feel the pressure – even changing seemingly innocuous scripts to avoid political heat.

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!
