My friend Amanda Kusek from the The 90-Minute Movie newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about a complex web of love triangles, the expressive, over-the-top performance of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. as Jeffry, and whether or not the source material truly was as scandalous as history has made it out to be.

The Falcon was an old-time radio show that aired from 1943 to 1954. The show was based on the character of Michael Waring, a suave and sophisticated private investigator known as the Falcon. Waring was a master of disguise and had a knack for getting himself into and out of dangerous situations. The Falcon was a popular show during its run, and it helped to popularize the private investigator genre on radio. The show was also notable for its use of humor and adventure, which made it a favorite with listeners of all ages. The Falcon was created by Michael Arlen, who also wrote the novels that the show was based on. Arlen was a prolific writer, and he also created the character of The Green Hat, which was also adapted into a radio show. The Falcon was played by several different actors over the course of its run, including John Calvert, George Sanders, and Barry Sullivan. The show also featured a number of notable guest stars, including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and Cary Grant. The Falcon was a groundbreaking show in many ways. It was one of the first radio shows to feature a private investigator as the main character, and it was also one of the first shows to use humor and adventure as a way to entertain listeners. The Falcon was a popular show during its run, and it helped to pave the way for other private investigator shows on radio and television. In addition to its popularity on radio, The Falcon was also adapted into a number of films. The first film, The Falcon Takes Over, was released in 1942 and starred George Sanders as the Falcon. The film was a critical and commercial success, and it spawned a number of sequels. The Falcon films were popular throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and they helped to make the character of the Falcon a household name. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

Why would Irish censors object to a satire of the English upper-classes? They probably wouldn't but Arlen wrote something far creepier. With Dr Laura Ludtke.He's merciless on the role of sport in creating Englishman. Aoife BhreatnachI have to admit, the introduction of Mosley as the Minister of War in a fascist conservative coalition government led by Winston Churchill did throw me for a bit. Laura LudtkeTo use the narrator's own terms, there is something damn queer about the case. Laura LudtkeThese are powerful mammaries.

Episode Topic: "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square"In the final week of London in Song, we focus on one of the most successful London songs of the twentieth century. Written in 1939, with words by Eric Maschwitz and music by Manning Sherwin, this romantic ballad was quickly established as a standard of the lounge repertoire and has been recorded by Vera Lynn, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Harry Connick Jr., Mel Torme, and Rod Stewert among many others. The song takes its title from a short story by Michael Arlen. This week we will consider what happens in the translation from short story to song, and we will ask what it means for a nightingale to sing in Berkeley Square.Featured Speakers: Ian Newman, Professor in the English Department and Fellow of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies and of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, University of Notre DameRev.

The story of why and how more than 3 million high school students take the SAT or ACT, the college entrance exams required by most four-year colleges, is vividly dissected in THE TEST & THE ART OF THINKING. For decades there have been questions about exactly what these tests measure, what role they play in the admissions process and how predictive they are of academic success. The anxiety-provoking exams, and the multibillion-dollar test-prep industry that has grown up around them, have also become lightning rods in the ongoing national debate over equity in educational opportunity. No matter what age the child,  they will have, or have had, a lot of pressure to perform well on these tests. There is also much money to be made from students and their parents in education particularly when it comes to the SAT/ACT with the not-for-profit College Board and the thousands of independent tutors reaping millions of dollars in profits. THE TEST & THE ART OF THINKING traces the history and evolution of the SAT/ACT as a major player on the pathway to higher education in America, and documents its current power in our culture. Director Michael Arlen Davis examines this controversy through interviews with students, parents, counselors, test-prep professionals and academics, to provide a fascinating look at this uniquely American rite of passage and how it reflects deeper issues in our educational system — and our society as a whole. Davis joins us for a lively conversation on how we got here and other options that may provide viable alternatives.

THE FALCON was the nom de guerre of a true man of mystery. He was either MICHAEL WARING, a shadowy figure who took on the underworld with the aid of his friend Sarge, avoiding the police because they tended to blame him for their unsolved crimes, created by Drexel Drake in 1936 and originally appearing in a series of novels and at least one short story. Or he was GAY STANHOPE FALCON, a sort of freelance adventurer and troubleshooter, definitely on the hardboiled side,.created by Michael Arlen in a 1940 short story. Either way, though, he was a man who made his living "keeping his mouth shut and engaging in dangerous entreprises," according to Otto Penzler et al's Detectionary. And, like Boston Blackie, a long, lucrative and convuluted career in film, radio and television soon followed, as The Falcon's occupation and even his name were changed from medium to medium.THIS EPISODE:July 17, 1952.
