“HITCHCOCK's COLLABORATORS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE” - (068) ALFRED HITCHCOCK, the iconic “Master of Suspense,” loved to work with certain actors over and over again. Often, he had very complicated relationships with his actors. (Just ask TIPPI HEDREN!) However, he managed to form great working relationships with stars like JAMES STEWART, GRACE KELLY, INGRID BERGMAN, and CARY GRANT. This week, we take a fun look at some of the actors who he loved to work with. So, which actor did he put in more of his films than anyone else? The answer may surprise you.

She won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1944 for National Velvet and left an indelible mark on the landscape of film as Gregory Peck's sympathetic mother in Gentleman's Agreement in 1947.

Programa Vivir Rodando 152 (20 Agosto 2022) Invitados: Fran Ortiz y Pepe Aracil Aunque el cine es un arte meramente audiovisual, la palabra escrita, en forma de libros, es imprescindible para poder enterderlo completamente. El programa de Vivir Rodando, con la presencia como invitados de Fran Ortiz y Pepe Aracil aborda los libros sobre cine: su necesidad, o importancia, los usos y costumbres al leerlos, las manáas, la experiencia al escribir uno, las filias (y alguna fobia) y, por supuesto, una serie de recomendaciones. Entre los libros recomendados, o mencionados, en este primer (y esperemos que no último) programa están: 'Imágenes' (Ingmar Bergman), 'Suspiria. Las ministras del mal' (Pilar Pedraza), 'La Codorniz. De la revista a la pantalla' (Felipe Cabrerizo y Santiago Aguilar), 'Goremanía' (Jesús Palacios), 'Reina del grito: Un viaje por los miedos femeninos' (Desirée de Fez), 'Hitchcock; Una vida de luces y sombras' (Patrick McGilligan), 'Latir de cine' (José Luis Garci), 'El cine o el hombre imaginario' (Edgar Morin)... entre otros muchos.

Lady P is joined by Patrick McGilligan, author of Robert Altman Jumping Off the Cliff, who has returned to the podcast to discuss the musically and politically charged film Nashville. However with Nashville being the only Robert Altman film on the list, they can't resist diving into the rest of Altman's long, eclectic, and magnificent career. Pat talks about his relationship with Altman's films, and what Altman was like in person. They look at Altman's visual style, his unique soundscapes, and even some of the costume in his films. They consider if Nashville is worthy of its 73rd spot on the Sight and Sound list, and ponder why there aren't other Altman films talking over it on the list as well.

We are honored to welcome film historian, Professor James Naremore, back to the show for a discussion on Orson Welles' 1958 film noir classic Touch of Evil. Orson Welles is a frequent topic of conversion on this podcast. We've had several Welles scholars make appearances, including Joseph McBride and Patrick McGilligan, as well as today's guest, Professor Naremore, who has made reference to his Welles critical study: The Magic World of Orson Welles on several previous occasions. Clearly, we at Flixwise will take any excuse to expound on our favorite cinematic wunderkind, but believe it or not, Touch of Evil is only the second Welles film on the Sight and Sound International Critics Poll. Needless to say, we are thrilled to finally have another Welles Sight and Sound entry to mull over. Lady P and Naremore delve into Welles stylistic choices, and how they differ from some of Welles' previous Hollywood pictures. They talk about the terrific performances from both the lead actors and the supporting players, and of course the screen-scorching presence of Marlene Dietrich. For the second topic, they move on to another iconic Welles character: Harry Lime. The purpose of art in today's scary political climate is a popular topic kicking around online magazines and social media feeds. Some articles have even suggested that these times of great tumult may prove a boon to artists, because, apparently, social revolt is grist to the mill for creative types. This sentiment echoes Harry Lime's "Cuckoo Clock" speech from Carol Reed's 1949 classic, The Third Man in which he makes a claim that great cultural works are produced primarily as a result of war and strife.  Lady P and Naremore revisit this infamous speech, and discuss whether its central argument still holds any merit today, and perhaps more significantly, whether it ever held any merit at all.

Seen as one of the "lesser" of Alfred Hitchcock's films, Stage Fright (1950) is a fascinating update of the themes explored in Murder! (1930) as well as a interesting take on the reliability of narrators.Joining Mike this week are Professor Tania Modleski (author of The Women Who Knew Too Much) and Filip Önell.

On today's show, Lady P chats with author, Patrick McGilligan, about his latest biography, Young Orson: The Years of Luck and Genius on the Path to Citizen Kane. According to McGilligan, it was a mixture of fate and pedigree that lead Orson Welles into life of creative endeavor. McGilligan goes into detail about Orson's childhood in Kenosha, Wisconsin - including his early notoriety as "child-genius" and his pre-adolescent enthusiasm for the arts. He also delves into Welles' family lineage, and the role his biological and adoptive parents played in the shaping of Orson's gifts. And of course, McGilligan talks about Orson's multiple career triumphs, up to and including, CITIZEN KANE.

From theater to radio to Hollywood…the ambition of Orson Welles, as Patrick McGilligan tells us in his new book Young Orson, was already old-fashioned: he wanted to be an “actor-manager” of a theater company. The leader of a troupe…something romantic about that…and something very Ambersons in its bad timing. “Orson Undiminished” focuses on the early …

In a 2002 interview Patrick McGilligan said of Clint Eastwood, “I think he’s a lazy actor and a lazy director. He’s a great image. This book is about how the image and the reality complement each other. There’s a false morality about Clint, the false morality of his life, which becomes the false morality of …

Noir November continues with Nicholas Ray's In a Lonely Place. Based loosely on a novel by Dorothy B. Hughes, the film stars Humphrey Bogart as a screenwriter on the edge of madness and Gloria Grahame as the woman who tries to love him.

We start off Noir November with a bang! It's Fritz Lang's 1953 flick The Big Heat, starring Glenn Ford as a straight-arrow cop who takes on corruption in Philadelphia.

From Clint Eastwood and Fritz Lang to Alfred Hitchcock and George Cuckor, Patrick McGilligan has written biographies of known studio figures. With his new book, Oscar Micheaux: The Great and Only, he turns to an African American figure who pioneered independent filmmaking.
