Podcast appearances and mentions of Nicholas Ray

A life lost way too soon at 24 years old, James Dean will always be remembered as one of Hollywood's greatest actors. Add to that feat the fact that he only had leading roles in three films and his potential becomes infinitely more devastating. In honoring him seventy years after his passing, Sophia and Nick look back at two of his films that were also released that same year: Elia Kazan's triumphant adaptation of John Steinbeck's epic novel, East of Eden, and Nicholas Ray's definitive portrait of 1950's America, Rebel Without a Cause (34:24). Listen as they discuss Dean's career highlights and how his performances stand out even among many other Oscar nominees (and a winner!) and CinemaScope beauty that transports us back in time.

From August 2014: Authors Paul Green and Mary Ann Anderson join Ed for a look back at the life and career of Jeffrey Hunter. Paul's book Jeffrey Hunter: The Film, Television, Radio and Stage Performances is a comprehensive look at the actor best known for his starring roles as Martin Pawley in The Searchers, Christopher Pike in the original pilot episode of Star Trek, and Jesus Christ in Nicholas Ray's King of Kings. Mary knew Jeffrey Hunter; her mother, actress Emily McLaughlin, married Hunter just three months before he died in May 1969. By all acccounts, Jeffrey Hunter was not only highly respected as an actor, but a genuinely nice person. His sudden death age at forty-two was a shock to everyone who knew him and left many wondering what direction his life and career would have taken, had he lived.

This month, we're talking about 60s and 70s Hollywood; the old masters giving their last efforts for a dying system, and the new filmmakers who changed everything. Today's episode is on We Can't Go Home Again, the groundbreaking, kaleidoscopic experimental film that Nicholas Ray made with his students at the end of his career. Then, we get into some segments from Other People's Podcasts. 00:00 - We Can't Go Home Again 47:03 - OPP

James and Thomas discuss Nicholas Ray's thrilling 1950 film noir In a Lonely Place. In an outstanding, nuanced performance, Humphrey Bogart plays quick-tempered screenwriter Dixon Steele, who enters into a fast-moving relationship with Laurel Gray (Gloria Grahame) just as he is under suspicion for the murder of another young woman. The investigation puts a strain on their romance, revealing the problems of relationships without the requisite mutual trust.

Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America and all ships at sea, and welcome to Episode 57 of Vintage Sand, our first of 2025. In this episode and the next one we return, for the penultimate time, to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary's hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternative Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary's model to approach every full decade in which the Academy has handed out Oscars except two: the 2010's, and the topic for this two-part episode, Alternate Oscars: The 1940's Edition. It's interesting that the 40's are considered to be the peak of Hollywood's Golden Age, yet many films that were beloved and honored back then have not well withstood the passage of time. The early part of the decade's most important development was the rise of the writer/director in Hollywood. Preston Sturges was the first, with his incredible run of films from 1940-1945, and he was followed quickly by the Billy Wilder/Charles Brackett team and, of course, that clever young fellow from the Mercury Theater. The 40's also marked the arrival of Hitchcock to these shores, and the rise to prominence of new directorial voices like Huston, Preminger, Zinnemann and Nicholas Ray. There were also many high points in the decade for well-established directors like Ford, Capra, Hawks, Lubitsch and Wyler. We have the incredible run of films between 1942 and 1946 made by Val Lewton's brilliant B-movie unit at RKO, and, of course, the birth of film noir, overseen predominantly by expats like Wilder, Lang, Preminger, Ulmer, Lewis and Siodmak. The latter half of the decade, which we will cover in Episode 58 in February, saw two major developments. The end of the war saw the return to strength of many European film industries as well as studio filmmaking in Japan. In France, in the wake of 1945's miraculous "Les Enfants du Paradis", directors as different as Cocteau, Clouzot and Bresson began or restarted their careers. This explosion of creativity was matched in the UK, with the arrival of Lean, Reed, and especially with the flowering of the Powell-Pressburger Archers team. Clearly, though, the most important such event was the rise of what today is called Italian Neo-Realism, as directors like Rossellini, De Sica, and to a lesser extent Visconti, created a brand new way to tell stories on film that is still influencing directors today. The second big change of the late 40's was really two changes in one: the landmark Paramount court case in 1948 that ended the vertical monopoly the studios had long held as owners of theater chains as well, and the mass arrival of television. Between 1948 and 1952, Hollywood lost nearly half of its audience, bringing down the curtain on that so-called “Golden Age” of Hollywood. In terms of the Oscars, the Academy made solid choices for Best Picture--they certainly picked better films than they did in the 1930's! These included enduring works like "The Best Years of Our Lives", "All the King's Men" and especially, "Casablanca". Who could argue with that? (Hint: us.) But there were plenty of head scratchers as well. Prestige choices like "How Green Was My Valley", "Mrs. Miniver" and Olivier's "Hamlet" look a little creaky these days. Hell, we might argue that "Rebecca" was not even Hitchcock's best film of 1940! And the less said about "Going My Way" and "Gentlemen's Agreement", the better. So kick back, round up the usual suspects, and help us make this podcast more important than the gas in that light…

On Episode 146 of Floating Through Film, we begin our new series picked by Luke, Nicholas Ray! Luke starts off the episode introducing by introducing Nicholas Ray and telling us why he picked him for this series, before reviewing two of Ray's early classics, his debut film in 1948, They Live by Night (31:45), and his 1950 noir, In a Lonely Place (1:41:09).

Apenas un año separa al estreno de «Woman They Almost Lynched» (Allan Dwan, 1953) y el de «Johnny Guitar» (Nicholas Ray, 1954). A esta última, el tiempo la ha convertido en título mítico de la historia del cine, mientras que la primera ha quedado como una de esas maravillas por descubrir que abundan en el cine clásico. Las dos fueron westerns atípicos por su absoluto protagonismo femenino. Tanto sus heroínas como sus supuestas villanas son mujeres que se enfrentan en el duelo final de rigor, y que llenan la pantalla con su fuerza arrolladora. Ambas, además, surgieron como modestas producciones en el seno de la Republic. En EAM analizamos con pasión este doble duelo. Tras los micros, Miguel Muñoz Garnica, Lourdes Esqueda y José Luis Forte.

Biblical embarrassment from Nicholas Ray

Professor Lucy Blue is in Egypt with a team of specialists co-directing a project with the Universities of Southampton and Ulster as part of the MarEA (Endangered Maritime Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa) project.  Together with experts from the Universities of Alexandria and Mersa Matruh, Egypt they are utilizing satellite imagery and other technologies to explore the western section of the north African coastline of Egypt.  This approach has revealed an extraordinary number of ancient sites, many dating back over 2,000 years. The findings shed new light on the rich maritime history of the region, including trade, settlement, and cultural interactions along the Mediterranean coast. This large-scale survey is crucial for documenting and preserving vulnerable archaeological sites, many of which are under threat from modern development and environmental changes.  Speaking with members of the team, including Dr Nicholas Ray, MarEA, Ulster University and Dr Ziad Morsy and Hagar Wafik from the Centre of Maritime Archaeology and Underwater Cultural Heritage, University of Alexandria, and Dr. Basma Khalili, a ceramic expert from the University of Mersa Matruh, we learn that the project has uncovered remarkable archaeological finds from pottery production sites to rock-cut tombs. Some of the discovered sites span several kilometres, highlighting the scale of these ancient settlements and hinting at the vibrant trade networks of the time.  MarEA is a research project based in the University of Southampton and partners in University of Ulster, funded by Arcadia and the NW Egypt coastal survey is largely funded by the Honor Frost Foundation.

AP Mike from THE BEST SHOW joins us once again for our #Noirvember episode and he's bringing Humphrey Bogart with him. Mike has chosen two wildly different takes on the Bogart persona from two of Hollywood greatest directors. First, it's the classic mystery that made Bogie a star with THE MALTESE FALCON from first-time director John Huston in 1941. Bogart is San Francisco private dick Sam Spade in this veritable blueprint for all the detective noir that followed it. Bogie is backed by an amazing cast with Mary Astor as femme fatale Brigid O'Shaughnessy; Petter Lorre as Joel Cairo; Sydney Greenstreet making his film debut at 62 years old as Kaspar Guttman; and Elisha Cook, Jr. playing shifty thug Wilmer Cook. All of these characters are on an existential quest the big, black bird--the stuff that dreams are made of--and several of them will do anything to get it. Then, Bogart goes grim dark in Nicholas Ray's IN A LONELY PLACE (1950). Bogie plays Dixon "Dix" Steele, a hasbeen Hollywood script writer with severe anger management issues. Dix is dragged in for questioning after Mildred, the hat-check girl he took back to his apartment, turns up murdered, and Bogie's wise-cracking ways take on an air of extreme menace as he jokes his way through the police interrogation. His neighbor, Laurel Gray played by Noir princess Gloria Grahame, falls for him despite the allegations because she saw that he didn't leave with the victim. But as Dix grows more violent and domineering, she, and the audience, start to question all that we've seen. Mike details the differences between the movie and the novel that it's based on. Eddie Muller's favorite film of all time. In our opening segment, we attempt to sort out the wreckage of our society, and our world, post-election before the conversation devolves into more recent movie recommendations. Cory really wants everyone to see CONCLAVE, while Bob says to get really high and watch HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS on Fandor or tubi. Meanwhile, Philena is plotting her escape to Ireland. With Robert Eggers' remake of NOSFERATU hitting theaters next month,OMFYS will be back next month for NOSFERATU CHRISTMAS. Movie critic Matt Zoller Seitz of MZS.press will join us to pair weed with FW Murray's original expressionist vampire epic from 1922 and Werner Herzog's 1979 remake with Klaus Kinski.

In this episode at the Silver Screen Video, we explore the fascinating intersection of Johnny Guitar (1954) and the broader genre of Western Noir. Directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Joan Crawford, Sterling Hayden, and Mercedes McCambridge, Johnny Guitar stands out as a moody, subversive take on the Western genre, blending classic tropes with dark, psychological elements. We delve into how Johnny Guitar flips traditional Western conventions, turning the usual hero-villain dynamic on its head, with complex characters whose motivations are more ambiguous than in typical Westerns. With its stylized use of color, stark landscapes, and its morally gray characters, Johnny Guitar anticipates many of the hallmarks of Western Noir — a subgenre of Westerns that leans heavily into crime, fatalism, and the darker aspects of human nature.

Elegant. That was the adjective used by Team Vintage Sand's own Michael Edmund to describe why the films of Joseph Losey are so important to him, and why he has been such a huge fan of Losey's for nearly all of his film-going life. Losey's was a name that seemed to keep popping up in a wide variety of contexts over the course of the podcast, so, after many delays, we are proud to present Episode 54—Director's Cut: Joseph Losey. Losey's is a unique career in the sense that it really was two distinct careers. After growing up in a life of privilege in Wisconsin (where he was a high school classmate of another pretty good director, Nicholas Ray) and an education at Harvard and Dartmouth, Losey made his way to Hollywood and directed a couple of interesting, low-budget films. Among these were the stilted but prescient "The Boy with Green Hair" (1948), and the rather senseless remake of Lang's "M" (1951), the latter replete with awful soundtrack music and LA sunshine. One possible reason that Losey might have gotten involved with this misguided effort might have been to give actors (Luther Adler, Martin Gabel) and other creatives (screenwriter Waldo Salt), who had been or were about to be blacklisted, a shot at getting some work. Losey himself, an unapologetic member of the Communist Party and an important creative associate of Bertolt Brecht, knew that when Brecht was called before HUAC, it was only a matter of time before he would meet the same fate. So before he could be summoned, he fled to London, and never again worked in the United States for the remaining three decades of his life. He began his English period with some low budget films, some of which, like 1954's "The Sleeping Tiger", still hold some interest. It was during this period, however, that he met two men who were going to help him create the reputation that he still carries to this day, that of a director of great style whose films, not surprisingly given his own life experience, were always political without ever dealing directly with politics: the actor Dirk Bogarde, and the legendary playwright Harold Pinter. Their first work together, 1963's "The Servant", is generally regarded as Losey's masterpiece. It is an absolute evisceration of a rotting class system that has yet to realize its time has passed and that the empire on which it was founded has disintegrated. The complex, ever-changing relationship between upper class twit Tony (the wonderful James Fox) and Barrett, the manservant Tony hires (Bogarde), is cold, chilling and surprising right to the very end. Losey continued his obsession with social class in the World War I drama "King and Country" (1964), a film with a setup similar to "Paths of Glory" that in some ways is an even more powerful anti-war statement than Kubrick's film. Losey teamed up again, somewhat less successfully, with Pinter and Bogarde for 1967's "Accident", and with Pinter for one more masterpiece, 1971's "The Go-Between", a gorgeous period piece featuring pitch-perfect performances by Alan Bates, Margaret Leighton, newcomer Dominic Guard as the titular young man, and especially by the never-more-luminous Julie Christie. There are no easy answers when it comes to Losey, but two things come to mind. As John notes in the episode, had Losey not fled persecution and stayed in America, he probably would have been nothing more than a more-talented-than-average studio hack. Exile turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to him, and it may be a direct result of his outsider status that Losey was able to cast an even sharper eye on the follies and perils of the dying English class system more effectively even than the great native British directors of the 1960's. Whatever your thoughts on his work, in the end, it is that aforementioned elegance and intelligence that make Losey's best films worth watching today.

EPISODE #429-- We return to the wild, wild west with Nicholas Ray's JOHNNY GUITAR from 1954. It's a good one. It's got Sterling Hayden. People love Sterling Hayden! We also talk about the lastest (French) version of THE THREE MUSKETEERS (2023) (as well as Richard Lesters' adaptations), as well as AMC's THE TERROR (2017) (now on Netflix!), Venkat Prahbu's THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME (2024), and the unfortunate TERMINATOR: ZERO (2024), which sucks an unbelievable amount of butt.

Three time Ms. Noir City Audra Wolfmann joins us once again to look at some of the strangest Westerns ever produced by Hollywood. Both of these films have surprisingly feminist themes while being directed by two of the studio system's true iconoclasts. First, Joan Crawford as saloon keeper Vienna is pitted against Mercedes McCambridge as the sexually-frustrated matriarch Emma Small in JOHNNY GUITAR (1954) for control of an Arizona town, and its two most eligible bachelors: The Dancin' Kid (Scott Brady) and Johnny Guitar (Sterling Hayden). Vienna has had both of them, which Emma has had none, but Emma appears to be more attracted to her feminine rival judging by the intensity of her rages whenever she's around Vienna. Directed by Nicholas Ray, whose best-known film, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955), also concerns a love triangle that doesn't conform to the gender norms of the time. Also starring Ernest Borgnine, Ward Bond, and John Carradine, and filmed in striking Trucolor by Henry A. Stradling (Hitchcock's SUSPICION; A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE). Next, Barbara Stanwyck is the "high ridin' woman with a whip in director Sam Fuller's utterly bizarre FORTY GUNS (1957), a movie as obsessed with dicks as its title would suggest. Three very Earp like brothers played by Barry Sullivan, Gene Barry, and Robert Dix (they couldn't find another Barry?) ride into Cochise County, Arizona and are immediately confronted by the movie's titular 40 guns. Stanwyck is Jessica Drummond, who rules the territory with lead and leather. Incredible camera work here by Fuller and cinematographer Joseph F. Biroc (THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN). We discussed Fuller previously way back in our Dark AF episode (S1E7) with THE NAKED KISS (1964). FORTY GUNS also stars Dean Jagger, Elvis' milquetoast dad from KING CREOLE (S2E10), as the milquetoast sheriff. We also ask all the hard questions like why Lady Gaga doesn't want to call the musical JOKER sequel a musical? The answer may surprise you. And please give us good reviews on Apple Podcasts.

This week, we share a winding, whirling discussion about the 1955 classic: Rebel Without a Cause. What follows isn't just a thematic breakdown of the movie's commentary on post-war generational tensions, but a macro discussion about the state of modern movies and how far we've come from the simple-yet-impactful cinematic eye of directors like Nicholas Ray.Check out our website for more great movie deconstructions.If you'd like to support the show and hear episodes ad-free, then join our Patreon!Music by Ross Bugden.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I denne episoden av Filmfrelst byr vi på del 2 av prosjektet som startet i episode #490, hvor vi ser nærmere på en av Hollywoods ikoniske regissører – den myteomspunne Nicholas Ray (1911-1979) – som er mest kjent for Johnny Guitar (1954), Rotløs ungdom («Rebel Without a Cause», 1955) og Bigger Than Life (1956). Ray spillefilmdebuterte med They Live By Night (1948), og i den første delen av denne podkast-diptyken – publisert på Montages i februar 2022 – snakket vi oss gjennom store deler av hans biografi og filmene han laget i første del av karrieren, frem til og med Johnny Guitar. Hør episoden her. Nå i del 2 plukker vi opp tråden der vi slapp i første samtale, og i praten nedenfor følger vi Ray fra 1955 og gjennom de to store kunstneriske høydepunktene Rotløs ungdom og Bigger Than Life, via en periode i Europa med bl.a. krigsfilmen Bitter Victory (1957) frem til og med karrieren i Hollywood imploderer under innspillingen av 55 Days at Peking (1963). Mot slutten av episoden diskuterer vi også den siste fasen av livet til Nicholas Ray, der anerkjennelse fra europeiske kritikere og filmskapere under den franske nybølgen og inn på 1970-tallet leder regissøren over i undervisning og en rolle som mentor for unge filmskapere, som igjen inspirerte hans siste verk – det eksperimentelle, kooperative prosjektet We Can't Go Home Again (1973), etterfulgt av meta-gravskriftet Lightning Over Water (1980), laget i samarbeid med Wim Wenders. Ved mikrofonene sitter Karsten Meinich og Erik Vågnes. God lytting!

We conclude our Camp Cinema season with our eighth episode covering Johnny Guitar (1954) and Imitation of Life (1959).In our finale, we delve into the origins of Camp Cinema in the 1950s, spotlighting Nicholas Ray's flamboyant western Johnny Guitar and Douglas Sirk's melodramatic Imitation of Life. Johnny Guitar subverts the traditional male bravado typical of most westerns by pitting two powerful women against each other. The visual artistry of Ray and his cinematographer, Harry Stradling, reveals the campy essense of the film with a rich palette of canary yellows, baked terra cottas, and deep azures. Imitation of Life achieves a similar feat, but with emotional resonance rather than visual flair. During our 1950s season, we explored Todd Haynes' commendable Douglas Sirk hommage, Far From Heaven. But nothing compares to the authentic touch of Sirk himself. Sirk masterfully understood cinema's power over an audience, manipulating emotions with precision in Imitation of Life. Its finale is one of the most emotionally explosive moments ever captured on celluloid. Camp manifest is many forms. Here we have two films that seem diametrically opposed in genre, but both use camp to full effect to elicit a deep response.

Johnny Guitar (1954): It’s unusual, it’s weird, and it’s unlike any other film made by these stars. And it’s our first LTS western. Because maybe your show runner has a slightly twisted appreciation for the genre. Nicholas Ray, whose directorial chops we last experienced with In A Lonely Place, directs Joan Crawford, Sterling Hayden and Mercedes McCambridge. It’s a story that centers female characters, and gives Joan a chance to stomp around in great western wardrobe. Poor Sterling Hayden is just along for the ride. I picked this because I wanted a Joan Crawford vehicle, and because at least two LTS regulars were excited when I mentioned it. Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, Nathan Alderman and Randy Dotinga.

Host Oona Chaplin speaks to some of those whose careers were ruined and friendships fractured, as anti-communist fervour pushed witnesses to expose the names of alleged communists.

THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR is this month's theme and that means classic noir 5 days a week. Bob loves this shit so we're all gonna overdose on it. No drug use under the Hays Code, though. We got ourselves a lovely little “noirmance” from “Rebel Without a Cause” director Nicholas Ray. This is actually Ray's debut film and it's a very worthy noir gem that most folks may not have heard about. We're talking about “THEY LIVE BY NIGHT” from 1948. It stars Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell in an incredibly sincere and believable romance that is cornered by the dark realities of the kind of world that all of our characters this month are forced to live in. A beautifully shot love story that connects until it inevitably rips you apart. This world is too hard on true love.

Happy Thanksgiving from Front Row Classics. We're celebrating Noirvember with the Czar of Noir himself, Eddie Muller. Eddie has penned a new children's book, "Kid Noir: Kitty Feral and the Case of the Marshmallow Monkey". The book is a charming introduction to the world of classics film for younger kids. Brandon and Eddie discuss the inspiration behind the book and importance of introducing classic film to the next generation.  The conversation, then, turns to Eddie's favorite film, Nicholas Ray's "In a Lonely Place". The film features what may be Humphrey Bogart's most personal performance and a career-defining portrayal from Gloria Grahame. Eddie also makes a case for why 1950 just may be the greatest year in film. "Kid Noir: Kitty Feral and the Case of the Marshmallow Monkey" is available wherever books are sold from Running Press Kids and Turner Classic Movies. Eddie Muller, an authority on film noir, is the author of Dark City Dames as well as two mystery novels. He lives in the San Francisco area. Jessica Schmidt is a writer and film noir-enthusiast living in Philadelphia with her husband Nathan and very own crime-fighting canine, Loki. Forrest Burdett is an illustrator from New Jersey with a passion for vibrant colors and fairytales. His days are filled with drawings of faraway places and fantastical adventures. He studied illustration at FIT in Manhattan and now lives in Portland, Oregon.

This week, we cover Nicholas Ray's noir masterpiece, "In a Lonely Place." We discuss the production of the film with the recently separated Ray & Gloria Grahame, and Bogey's production company. We also discuss the themes and plot of the film. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a couple of fantastic double bills!Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on twitter @DoubleBillChil1 https://twitter.com/DoubleBillChil1Letterboxd: FartsDomino44

Nicholas Ray directs Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Graham. Bogie is Dix Steele, who should not be confused for Captain Picard’s hollowdeck alter ego, Dixon Hill. (Am I the only one who does that?) Bogie is not a detective, but a screenwriter suspected of murder. In A Lonely Place is considered one of the best film noir made, and Bogart and Graham give excellent performances. Shelly Brisbin with Judy Samelson, Randy Dotinga, Micheline Maynard and Nathan Alderman.

Nicholas Ray's ‘troubled teen' picture, ‘Rebel Without A Cause' opened in the US on 27th October, 1955. The film was eagerly anticipated, partly due to the recent death of its star, James Dean, in a car accident. Although the movie's title can be traced back to a book by Dr. Robert Lindner that explored the mind of a teenage criminal, the script underwent multiple revisions - in part so that Dean and the young cast, including Natalie Wood and Dennis Hooper, could contribute improvisation.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine the film's radical sexuality, yet latent conservatism; explain why it received an X rating in the UK; and reveal why it was released in colour, yet initially filmed in black and white…  Further Reading: • ‘Rebel Without a Cause: Review' (Time, 1955): https://time.com/4079963/review-rebel-without-a-cause/ • ‘Behind the scenes: Rebel without a Cause' (BFI, 2014): https://www.bfi.org.uk/features/behind-scenes-rebel-without-cause • ‘Screen Tests - Rebel Without a Cause' (Warner Bros., 1955): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj-qDUVJ1vI We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

Since 1929, Hollywood's brightest stars have flocked to the Chateau Marmont as if it were a second home. An apartment building-turned-hotel, the Chateau has been the backdrop for generations of gossip and folklore: where director Nicholas Ray slept with his 16-year-old Rebel Without a Cause star Natalie Wood; Jim Morrison swung from the balconies; John Belushi suffered a fatal overdose; and Lindsay Lohan got the boot after racking up nearly $50,000 in charges in less than two months. But despite its mythic reputation, much of what has happened inside the Chateau's walls has eluded the public eye - until now. With wit and insight, Shawn Levy recounts the wild revelries and scandalous liaisons, the creative breakthroughs and marital breakdowns, the births and deaths to which the hotel has been a party. Vivid, salacious, and richly informed, The Castle on Sunset is a glittering tribute to Hollywood as seen from inside the walls of its most hallowed hotel.

Halfway through Casablanca, we learn why Rick Blaine is so cynical, angry, and embittered; we also feel glad at the end when he takes off his armor and begins that beautiful friendship. But how would we respond if we never learned why Rick acted as he does? The answer is that he'd be Dixon Steele, whom Bogart portrays so well in Nicholas Ray's 1950 thriller In a Lonely Place. Join Mike and Dan for a conversation about a Bogart film they think deserves a wider audience and how it predicts what Martin Scorsese would do twenty-six years later with Taxi Driver. William J. Mann's Bogie & Bacall: The Surprising True Story of Hollywood's Greatest Love Affair, is a thoroughly interesting dual biography about the movies' most enduring power couple.
