Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Scofield

This week, we head to 1964 to discuss John Frankenheimer's “The Train,” a film that begs the question: How much do train mechanics know about art? Just kidding, it's an awesome film with Burt Lancaster in the lead performance butting heads with legendary antagonist Paul Scofield as an SS Captain hoping to smuggle French art from Paris to Germany before the Allies liberate France's capital city. Fortunately, the French have the infamous Underground! Grab a drink and give us a listen!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

There's new insights into New Zealand's ancient fauna from a 20-year dig. An international team of palaeontologists researching the St Bathans fossil site in Central Otago have concluded kakapo, small wrens, bats and freshwater limpets arrived well before other well known species - like kiwi and moa. Canterbury Museum Senior Natural History Curator Paul Scofield says they also uncovered signs of other surprising animals living here. "We had two species of crocodile - and we believe that they most likely became extinct at the beginning of the ice age about two or three years ago."

The discovery of an ancient fossil in Canterbury is suggesting a group of sea birds originated much closer to home than previously thought. Dubbed the Zealandian Tropicbird, it's one of the first fossils of its kind to be found in the Southern Hemisphere - up until now all others had been from the Northern Hemisphere. Canterbury Museum senior curator natural history Paul Scofield, who co-authored the paper on the research, believes it's around 62 million years old. Scofield spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Jonny rounds off the summer season in style: the first SDJ live show at Jermyn Street Theatre in the heart of London's West End - and two masters to talk to. Sir Nick Hytner and Sir Simon Russell Beale tell Jonny about the two decades and nine plays of their collaboration. It's a fascinating insight into the dynamics of one of the great director-actor partnerships of our times. Who is the lover and whom the beloved in this relationship? How does Simon know when Nick thinks it isn't working? Nick's thoughts on change in the theatre and in life, how he directs actors, Paul Scofield, Daniel Day-Lewis and much more. Hosted on Acast.

Then we discuss the real story behind the film, and the ways director Robert Redford and screenwriter Paul Attanasio grapple with the quiz show scandal's multifaceted ramifications in the era after the post-war boom. Finally, we discuss the film's legacy, or lack thereof, and why this film may not have found its deserved purchase with viewers in the 90s and why there's still room for it to be reclaimed in 2023. Follow Jarrod Murray on Twitter.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

All aboard! "3 Non-Bonds" Season continues on the show as Scott delivers tickets for a return journey on "John Frankenheimer's The Train", his choice for the annual film festival. This fastidiously rich WW2 film offers cinephiles and history-buffs much to chew on while Burt Lancaster and Paul Scofield battle wits on and around the French railways in the dying days of Nazi Occupation. So, take a seat in our first-class coach and relax; in this episode we stoke the fires and do the locomotion over an engaging tale of a patriotic nation and the desperate foes who sought to pillage its cultural treasure.

Palaeontologists digging near Saint Bathans in Central Otago have discovered a fossil that probably belonged to the Southern Hemisphere's oldest known swan species. The Bannockburn Swan lived between 16 and 19 million years ago on Lake Manuherikia, a huge lake covering most of modern Central Otago. Joe spoke to Paul Scofield, a Senior Curator of Natural History and Adjunct Professor in Palaeontology in the Geology Department at the University of Canterbury, about the discovery.  

This week on The Wire for Rāhina Monday! Joe speaks to Dr Michele Bannister, a Senior Lecturer from the University of Canterbury about scientists seeking meteorite footage.

Legendary director Peter Brook died last week at the age of 97. Brook was one of theater's most influential directors. His 1970 A Midsummer Night's Dream is among that play's most lauded and best-known productions. His 1968 book The Empty Space is a classic of theater writing. Over the course of his career, he directed actors including John Gielgud, Glenda Jackson, Ben Kingsley, Adrian Lester, Vivienne Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Paul Scofield, Patrick Stewart, and Frances de la Tour, and won multiple Tony and Emmy Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award, the Praemium Imperiale, and the Prix Italia. When we spoke to Brook in 2019, his new play, Why?, co-written and co-directed by longtime collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne, was about to kick off a tour of China, Italy, and Spain, and his newest book, Playing by Ear: Reflections on Sound and Music, had just been released. Brook spoke with Barbara Bogaev about his remarkable career, his illustrious collaborators, and the process of making theater. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series.

Peter Brook and Richard Wolinsky. Peter Brook (1925-2022), visionary director, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Peter Brook was one of the greatest theatrical directors of the twentieth century. Artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company for twenty years from 1962-1982, he transformed how the English speaking world looked at the plays of William Shakespeare. He is perhaps best known, during those years, for his production of “The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade,” also known as “Marat/Sade,” which later became a film and turned Glenda Jackson into an international star. His other films include “Lord of the Flies,” “Meetings with Remarkable Men” and a version of “King Lear” starring Paul Scofield. His 1985 nine-hour adaptation of the Indian epic Mahabharata is probably his masterpiece. At the age of 92, he and his collaborator Marie Helene Estienne went back to the Mahabharata with a short theatrical piece, “Battlefield,” which played at ACT's Geary Theater in May, 2017. This interview was recorded on April 24, 2017 in a rehearsal studio in the ACT offices in San Francisco. Included in the podcast is a brief commentary on Peter Brook by actor and director Simon McBurney.

Puntata a cura di UntimoteoNato nel 1925 e tutt'ora sulle scene, a 30 anni Peter Brook è già il regista Shakespeariano più quotato d'Inghilterra. Dove dirige veri e propri mostri sacri come Laurence Olivier, Paul Scofield e John Gielgud. Dopo aver girato in lungo e in largo il pianeta, il regista è tra coloro che gettano le basi dell'antropologia teatrale. Questa disciplina sposa un rigoroso training fisico e vocale assieme agli studi teorici e al confronto pratico tra le performance espressive delle culture di tutto il mondo. Un punto fermo di questa ricerca è il Mahabharata: il poema epico alla base della cultura hindi.

Scientists believe they have identified an entirely new bird family from a fossil discovered near St Bathans in Central Otago. Named Zealandornis relictus, the fossil doesn't seem to match any group of birds that has been known to live anywhere on Earth. Canterbury Museum senior curator natural history and study co-author Paul Scofield says Aotearoa's flora and fauna has always been unique, even as far back as 20 to 30 million years ago. He spoke to Corin Dann.

The natural world has always held a fascination for people, and James Ryan is no different - but he HAS taken it one step further than his peers. The 12-year-old Cantabrian has written a book about it, focused on the tools animals carry with them that allow them to defend themselves and hunt their prey. It's called Nature's Wildlife Weapons, and looks at the tusks, antlers, horns and claws of various creatures - some living, some extinct - and how they're used. James has been a regular at the Canterbury Museum for as long as he can remember, and he dedicates the book to the Museum staff who helped him access some of their artefacts. Canterbury Museum is also hosting the book launch tomorrow, as it coincides with its Fur, Fangs and Feathers exhibition, which showcases taxidermied animals from its collection. James joins Kathryn, along with Dr Paul Scofield, Canterbury Museum's senior curator, natural history.

Aotearoa has one of the world's richest troves of marine fossils, but we're still just finding out exactly what it is we're sitting on. A recent research project in Canterbury used medical CT imaging to scan plesiosaur fossils collected in New Zealand back in 1872.The scans reveal a new level of detail, confirming that plesiosaurs swam mostly with their heads down, in contrast to the Loch Ness creature, and showing a close link between the New Zealand fossils and South American specimens from 70 million years ago. Paul Scofield is a Senior Curator Natural History at Canterbury Museum and adjunct Professor in Geology at Canterbury University.

This sermon is based on Psalm 107:1-9, 42-43 and concludes our series, "CHOOSE." You can also view each week's sermon/worship service on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ncsq_QNvCv61bIwKUpP5A SERIES OVERVIEW: A sermon series on the meaning of life? That sounds awfully philosophical. Who wants weeks and weeks of Sartre saying, “Existence precedes essence”? It also seems extremely impractical because if Woody Allen is right, then “The meaning of life is that nobody knows the meaning of life.” And wouldn't any answer that we give, be rather simplistic? What was it that Paul Scofield said: “Sixty-four thousand dollars for a question? I hope they are asking you the meaning of life!” And on top of all that, it sounds depressing. Kurt Vonnegut was right: “Plato says that the unexamined life is not worth living. But what if the examined life turns out to be a clunker, as well?” In short, it sounds like a very bad idea. But what if we could know the meaning of life and what if we could know what makes life meaningful? Wouldn't that be helpful (maybe even vital)? And what if everything that makes life great and rich is within your reach? Here's the good news. It is. YOU can infuse your life with meaning and joy. All it takes is for you to CHOOSE.

In this episode, how Cuba is pushing ahead with the development of its own coronavirus vaccines – and could be nearing vaccine sovereignty. And we hear from a researcher about what he learnt from asking hundreds of people about the biggest decisions of their lives. You're listening to episode 14 of The Conversation Weekly podcast. Throughout 2020, the small island nation of Cuba was able to limit the spread of COVID-19. By early May, 675 people had died from the disease. But case numbers have been increasing in 2021 and there are currently around 1,000 new cases being recorded each day. That makes Cuba's race to make its own coronavirus vaccine even more urgent. This week we speak to three experts to help explain how Cuba's race for a coronavirus vaccine is going – and where it fits into the wider picture of global vaccine diplomacy: Amilcar Pérez Riverol, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of São Paulo State in Brazil, Jennifer Hosek, professor of languages, literatures and cultures at Queen's University, Ontario in Canada, and Peter Hotez, professor of paediatrics and molecular virology at Baylor College of Medicine in the US.In our second story, we speak to Adrian Camilleri about his research asking people about the big decisions they've taken in their lives. He tells us that the process of making a big decision can have an impact on how you think about it later in your life.And Finlay Macdonald, senior editor at The Conversation in New Zealand, gives us his recommended reads for the week.The Conversation Weekly is produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware, with sound design by Eloise Stevens.

Ian Mckellen is a legend of stage and cinema. He has incredibly starred in over four hundred plays and films and he is that rare character actor that awes in each and every performance. McKellen is a celebrity of such distinguished political and social service that it has transcended his international fame to reach beyond the stage and screen. The breadth of his career — professional, personal and political — has been truly staggering. Sci-fi and fantasy fans know him as Gandalf from the Lord of The Rings and Magneto from the Marvel X-Men series of films. Theater lovers know of McKellen’s roles as Macbeth, King Lear, and Estragon in the truly fantastic Waiting For Godot. From his West End acting debut in 1964 in James Saunders’s A Scent of Flowers, to the day he took Broadway by storm when he played Antonio Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s Tony-Award-winning play Amadeus, to his many turns on screen, McKellen is an international treasure and icon, and it is because of this that Welcome To The Party Pal pays tribute to such an acclaimed talent.To celebrate Ian McKellen properly, one of your Welcome To The Party Pal hosts, Michael Shields, sits down with author Garry O’Connor, who recently penned Ian McKellen: A Biography. Garry O’ Connor is a biographer and novelist, noted for his publications on theatrical and literary figures. He has written well-praised biographies of Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Paul Scofield, Peggy Ashcroft, and Alec Guinness. His book probes the heart of Ian McKellen, recreating his greatest stage roles and exploring his personal life. Ian McKellen: A Biography shows readers what makes the great actor tick and Michael and Garry discuss some of Ian’s more memorable roles, what motivates Ian in work and life, his activism, and so much more.

In this episode, we spend 40 minutes with one of the world’s most influential directors. Peter Brook has directed John Gielgud, Glenda Jackson, Ben Kingsley, Adrian Lester, Laurence Olivier, Paul Scofield, and Patrick Stewart. His 1970 "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" is that among the play’s most lauded and best known productions. His 1968 book "The Empty Space," now an e-book from Nick Hern Books, is a classic of theater writing. Brook’s work is characterized by the search for new theatrical modes and artistic languages, and at 94, he continues searching. His newest work, "Why?", co-written and co-directed by longtime collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne, opened in Paris in June, finished a run at Brooklyn’s Theatre for a New Audience in October, and will soon begin a tour of China, Italy, and Spain. A new book, "Playing by Ear: Reflections on Sound and Music," is also being published this year. Barbara Bogaev interviews the director about his remarkable career, his illustrious collaborators, and the big question: what makes good theater? From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series.

Esta noche tenemos cine de emoción, sin un segundo de respiro. El Tren de John Frankenheimer, 1964. El Tren contiene compromiso social y espectáculo, entretenimiento y dilemas morales. Es una pieza de orfebrería, con un ritmo y una atmósfera excepcional. Se nota la manera de narrar de Frankenheimer, quizás el director más talentoso de esa generación de la televisión que revitalizó Hollywood en los sesenta. Su puesta en escena y su brío para la acción son indudables. El arranque de la historia, con ese primer ataque a la estación te dejan boquiabierto. Un tren cargado de obras de arte que los Nazis quieren llevarse de Francia en las postrimerías de la ocupación; los ferroviarios franceses, infiltrados en la resistencia, son los verdaderos héroes de este episodio verídico de la segunda guerra mundial. La película grita al mundo que no olvidemos el brutal sacrifico de esos civiles anónimos, que entregaron sus vidas para salvaguardar la Cultura y la Libertad de su país, la Gloria de Francia. El reparto es magnífico, Labiche es Burt Lancaster, un alarde de actuación y poderío físico para encarnar a este héroe con las manos manchadas de aceite de locomotora, que cree que las personas, cree que sus vidas son más importantes que las pinturas, pero lo entregará todo por cumplir la misión. La visión elitista del arte la encarna el papel del Coronel Franz Von Waldheim, inmenso Paul Scofield, con un discurso final sobrecogedor, delimitando el acceso a la belleza, al arte... un sucio mono grasiento no sabe apreciarlo… El contrapunto femenino es Jeanne Moreau, Christine, viuda, dueña de un hostal, que no quiere mas muertes, que sobrevive como puede, pero que también luchará por la única causa justa. Además tenemos a Allbert Rémy, Howard Vernon, o Michel Simon, Papa Boule, otro personaje inolvidable, su mirada a Labiche tras ser descubierto el sabotaje, es de las que dejan huella. Monet, Picasso, Cezanne, Matisse, Van Gogh…no hace falta que veamos los cuadros en sí, vemos las cajas que los contienen, con la esvástica marcada, arte degenerado para especular, arte en mayusculas que sólo una pocos saben apreciar, no……….El arte no tiene dueños, pertenece a todos y cada uno de nosotros. El cine como arte, como identidad, el Tren de Joh Frankenheimer es una gran aventura, reflejo de la propia vida. Con las caras y las manos manchadas de aceite y cine, esta noche de otoño, el retén de guardia de la estación de Radiopolis recuerda a los caídos por la libertad. Jefe de Estación: José Miguel Moreno. Maquinista: Zacarías Cotán. Fogonero: Raúl Gallego. Guardagujas: Gervi Navío.

When he started out on an acting career, Oliver Ford Davies was given some extremely discouraging advice by his first director, who said: “You’ll be OK when you’re forty, and even better when you’re fifty!” Davies was only twenty-seven at the time so that was a bit off-putting, to say the least; but in fact that advice was clairvoyant. His big breakthrough did indeed come at the age of fifty, in 1990, when he was given the lead in David Hare’s Racing Demon at the National Theatre, for which he won an Olivier Award. Since then he’s played Lear at the Almeida, and Star Wars fans will know him as Sio Bibble (the governer of Naboo); he also appears as Cressen in the very popular Game of Thrones. Among numerous Shakespeare roles over the last 40 years at the RSC, he’s just finished playing Pandarus in Troilus and Cressida, a production which was shown in cinemas across the country. Looking back over a very varied and successful career, Oliver Ford Davies reflects on the ups and downs of a career which has been risky, and challenging, and richly enjoyable. He talks too about why big American films love English actors: because they can deliver unintelligible dialogue, and because they’re cheap. And he pays tribute to a great actor reading great poetry, in his choice of Paul Scofield reading T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. Other choices include Haydn, Stravinsky, Elgar, Vaughan Williams, and Mozart’s ‘The Marriage of Figaro’. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3

Saturday, May 4th, 2018 I first visited the Tower of London in January of this year with my friend Steven, a fellow student of history; I at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, he at King's College, London. We had great fun, two history nerds running around London for a couple of days! While we were at the Tower, I looked for the cell where Sir Thomas More was imprisoned for over a year before he was executed for treason on July 6th, 1535. Like many brought up in Catholic families after the film was made, I grew up watching the adaptation of Robert Bolt's Man for All Seasons starring Paul Scofield, seeing it so many times I believe I could have parroted the dialogue from entire scenes from memory with little effort. Going back and watching clips, I still remember just about everything that every character will say and do ahead of time. The tragic story of and Scofield's compelling characterization of the clever lawyer and saint captured my imagination. Since then, I've read more about him over the years and broadened my understanding of this man, who was much more complex than the stellar but somewhat two-dimensional martyr of integrity and righteousness portrayed in the film...

The death of Sir Peter Hall was announced today, at the age of 86. Friends and colleagues look back on his life. We'll be hearing from those who lived and worked with him including the Opera singer Maria Ewing, who was married to Sir Peter Hall for eight years and who was directed by him many times. We'll also speak to former heads of the National Theatre Sir Nicholas Hytner and Sir Richard Eyre, the director Sir Trevor Nunn, playwright David Edgar and theatre critic Michael Billington.Peter Hall, whose career spanned more than six decades, was a director of theatre, opera and film. As well as founding the Royal Shakespeare Company, running the National Theatre for 15 years, working as artistic director at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, and setting up the Peter Hall Company, he will be remembered for his extensive work which ranged from Shakespeare and the Greek classics to Pinter and of course Peter Shaffer's Amadeus with Paul Scofield and Simon Callow. Presenter Samira Ahmed Producer Helen Fitzhenry.

In "the last great B&W action movie," bruised anti-hero Paul Labiche, portrayed by the ever-great Burt Lancaster, rescues a train-load of impressionist paintings from a mean old Nazi bad guy, played with depth and aplomb by the amazing Paul Scofield, one year away from his Academy Award for A Man for All Seasons. John Frankenheimer beautifully plays the human emotions against the iron and steam of the trains themselves, creating a powerful film about the triumph of the will. Hmm, that didn't come out quite right.

Peter Brook, visionary director, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Peter Brook is one of the greatest theatrical directors of the twentieth century. Artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company for twenty years from 1962-1982, he transformed how the English speaking world looked at the plays of William Shakespeare. He is perhaps best known, during those years, for his production of “The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade,” also known as “Marat/Sade,” which later became a film and turned Glenda Jackson into an international star. His other films include “Lord of the Flies,” “Meetings with Remarkable Men” and a version of “King Lear” starring Paul Scofield. His 1985 nine-hour adaptation of the Indian epic Mahabharata is probably his masterpiece. Now, at the age of 92, he and his collaborator Marie Helene Estienne have gone back to the Mahabharata with a short theatrical piece, “Battlefield,” which is playing at ACT's Geary Theater through May 21st. This interview was recorded on April 24, 2017 in a rehearsal studio in the ACT offices in San Francisco.

37 years after its landmark first production starring Paul Scofield as Salieri and Simon Callow as Mozart, Peter Schaffer's play Amadeus returns to the National Theatre in London. Director Michael Longhurst and Lucian Msamati - who plays Salieri - discuss their new production which features a 30-piece orchestra live on stage.Before she became famous for creating the freckle-faced optimist Pippi Longstocking, Astrid Lindgren was an aspiring author living in Stockholm at the outbreak of World War II. Astrid's daughter Karin Nyman and author Meg Rosoff discuss A World Gone Mad - Astrid Lindgren's War Diaries, now available for the first time in English, which paint a picture of life in a neutral country during the conflict, and her emergence as a writer.

Michael Berkeley's guest is the opera and theatre director Iqbal Khan. He has brought to the stage everything from Madame Butterfly and Sondheim's Into the Woods to an RSC production of Much Ado About Nothing set in modern India. In Private Passions, Khan explores his favourite operas, with extracts from Verdi, Mozart, and Wagner, and chooses other music which inspires him, from Mahler's 2nd Symphony and Britten's War Requiem, to an extraordinary percussive piece by Nitin Sawhney. He plays, too, a historic recording of Paul Scofield as King Lear. And he talks movingly about his childhood and difficult teenage years, growing up in Birmingham, after his father died and the family was left penniless. Khan was inspired by his older brother, who encouraged him to aim for the highest academic honours, and read to him at night by candlelight - to make the books more exciting. Dracula was a particular favourite. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.

One of the greatest classical actors of his generation, Sir Ian McKellen (1981 Tony Award winner for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play for “Amadeus”) reflects on his more than 50 years on stage, explaining that he's really only qualified to voice his opinion on two topics: gay issues and theatre. He talks about the recent production of “Waiting for Godot” in which he played opposite Patrick Stewart in London, then Roger Rees in both London and Australia, and which he'd happily perform in yet again (and wonders what the production would have been like had director Sean Mathias have received approval for McKellen's originally proposed co-star, Dame Judi Dench); why he feels that despite performing it in venues around the world, he never really "cracked" the role of King Lear and would like to try again; offers his first thoughts on recalling such roles as Iago, Macbeth, Richard II and Richard III; explains the British system which allowed him to move into a professional career quickly after his university days despite having no formal acting training; how he found himself on Broadway with Ian McShane and Eileen Atkins -- only six years after graduating from university -- in a Russian play that was a big English hit but a U.S. flop; explores the experience of playing the leading role in “Bent” in both the original production, prior to coming out publicly, and playing it again 10 years later after he had declared his sexuality; and why without his Broadway performance in “Amadeus”, which was entirely the result of Paul Scofield declining to play it in the U.S. and McKellen having gone to school with Peter Hall, he might not even be sitting for a Downstage Center interview.
