It's Christmas week here at MOVIEHUMPERS (soon to be called THE PROJECTORS) and we're hitting up another classic era Christmas romantic comedy. The farce gets pretty thick in today's discussion but the charm is consistent in this comedy of errors starring a beaming Barbara Stanwyck in Peter Godfrey's 1945 comedy “CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT”. Stanwyck plays Liz, a society gal who writes fictional first hand accounts of farm wife life. When a nice war hero, inspired by Liz's articles, wants to stay and visit then Liz has to figure out how to fake it all for the soldier and also her boss for fear of being fired. There's some contrived other plot points that thread this all together, including an engagement that Liz gets wrangled in to, but it's pretty hard not to feel the romance between the hunky sweet sailor and the society gal. Also starring Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Reginald Gardiner and S.Z. Sakall. If only she could tell him the truth and keep her job. I mean, she could. Why should her boss care? She's moving magazines ain't she? Stanwyck is a worthy comedic lead and this is one of the funnier of the Christmas Classics we've discussed.

Ben and Anthony discuss the 1945 classic, in which screen legend Barbara Stanwyck hosts a total goof-fest in order to... preserve gender roles? Or maybe to critique them, if you're being generous? Listen along and decide for yourself! Directed by Peter Godfrey and starring Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan and Sydney Greenstreet.

Já imaginou ligar o rádio e assistir ao filme que está em cartaz nos cinemas da cidade? Nos anos 40, o jornalista, radialista, roteirista e diretor de cinema Otávio Gabus Mendes leva ao ar exatamente esta proposta pela Rádio Bandeirantes. Inicialmente feita dentro do Teatro Para Você, a sessão de filmes radiofonizados logo ganha um espaço exclusivo com o nome de Cinema em seu Lar. A atração é apresentada aos domingos, no então horário nobre do rádio, às 7 da noite. Era a época em que o aparelho permanecia em local privilegiado da sala e a família se reunia em torno dele para se informar e se divertir. Agora é hora de imaginar. Acompanhe a adaptação para o rádio do curta-metragem Mentira, de Flávia Moraes, baseado no conto A Aliança, uma das Comédias da vida Privada de Luis Fernando Veríssimo. Ouça a reconstituição do programa que também teve temporadas com o nome de Cinema em Casa. As interpretações são de Marcelo Duarte, Silvânia Alves e Antonio Myer. Saiba mais sobre o Cinema em Seu Lar: Para recriar as histórias das telonas, no início, o próprio Gabus Mendes ia ao cinema e, mesmo no escuro, escrevia os diálogos. No dia seguinte, o filme estava no ar, radiofonizado. O radialista ainda cuidava da sonoplastia e integrava o elenco do radioteatro. Um anúncio publicado no jornal Folha da Noite de 10 de agosto de 1946 (no destaque) anuncia para aquela noite de domingo a adaptação para o rádio de Indiscrição, de Peter Godfrey, que estava em cartaz. No elenco, Cassiano Mendes, Maria Estela Barros, o próprio Otávio Gabus Mendes, Moncha Rios e Aramis della Torre. O público-ouvinte acompanha a história de uma escritora solteira que alcança êxito com uma coluna sobre amor e casamento e que se vê obrigada a inventar uma falsa família na noite de Natal. A apresentação aconteceu um mês antes do falecimento precoce, aos 40 anos de idade, de Otávio Gabus Mendes. Cinema em seu Lar tem continuidade com Ivani Ribeiro no trabalho de adaptação dos roteiros para a linguagem radiofôncia, enquanto Walter Forster liderava e dirigia o elenco de radioatroes que atuavam no programa. Com o tempo, as próprias distribuidoras cinematográficas perceberam que a radiofonização do filme gerava publicidade. Com isso, chegam a ceder à emissora scripts até de títulos que ainda seriam lançados. É o que acontece, por exemplo, em 7 de dezembro de 1946, com a radiofonização da Comédia Romântica O Pecado de Clunny Brown Com a substituição da imagem pelo som, a recriação da película era tão fiel que surpreendia não só aos ouvintes, mas também à crítica especializada e aos próprios participantes. No final do programa, havia espaço para a leitura das cartas enviadas pelos fãs ao elenco, que aproveitava a oportunidade para agradecer de viva voz os ouvintes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pecasraras/message

Earlier this month, Indonesia started its detailed planning into closing more coal plants and scaling up renewable energy capacity, with the launch of the secretariat for its Just Energy Transition Partnership, or JET-P, the landmark tie-up with wealthy countries and large private investors. The stakes are high. If done well, the US$20 billion of loans and grants pledged to the country could help it shave 20 per cent off peak power industry emissions in 2030, and get the coal-reliant sector to net-zero by 2050. But at the same time, Indonesia is one of the world's largest miners, exporters and users of coal. The fossil fuel is pollutive, but also cheap. It has been key to helping millions of people escape poverty over the past few decades – a wrong move could mean energy insecurity, unaffordable bills and job losses. So how can Indonesia continue to grow and help its people secure better livelihoods while meeting its green targets? What should be included in its JET-P implementation plan, which is due in half a year? What exactly is “just” in the Indonesian context? Eco-Business discusses these issues with Dr Siwage Negara, a senior fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, who keeps a keen eye on economic and development issues in Indonesia, and Peter Godfrey, Asia Pacific Managing Director at the Energy Institute, a think tank. This is the first episode in a series of podcasts dedicated to Southeast Asia's clean energy transition.

Please Murder Me is a 1956 American film noir film directed by Peter Godfrey, and starring Angela Lansbury and Raymond Burr. Plot Defense lawyer Craig Carlson (Raymond Burr) buys a pistol at a pawn shop and travels to his office, where he deposits the gun in a desk drawer with a file folder, then begins to dictate into a tape recorder. Directing his message to District Attorney Ray Willis (John Dehner), he reveals that he anticipates being murdered within an hour, and begins to tell his story in extended flashbacks. The memories begin with him explaining to his war buddy and best friend Joe Leeds (Dick Foran) that he is having an affair with Leeds' wife Myra (Angela Lansbury), who wants a divorce. Joe asks Craig to give him a little time to think the matter over. Days later at his own office, Joe finishes writing a letter and gives it to his business partner Lou Kazarian to mail. Joe phones Myra telling her he will be home soon to discuss something. There, he confronts Myra in their bedroom, where a door is closed and a gunshot is heard. Police investigate Joe's death. Myra explains that Joe became irate and threatened her physically, forcing her to shoot him in self-defense. Craig is also on the scene, having arrived before the police and acting as Myra's lawyer. In the ensuing trial, DA Willis allows the police to present their evidence that a physical struggle did not occur as she'd said. Willis notes that Myra was not employed when she first met Joe, a successful businessman with a good amount of life insurance. In her defense, Craig attributes Myra's inconsistencies regarding the night in question as post-traumatic hysteria. In his closing argument, Craig claims the money motive in Willis' case is not valid because Myra was in love with another man — a revelation that could inspire Joe to cause Myra premeditated harm. Craig then reveals that he himself is Myra's lover. The jury finds Myra not guilty. She and Craig throw a party to celebrate with friends. When Lou arrives, he reveals privately to Craig that he had forgotten to mail Joe's letter, which was addressed to Craig. Joe discloses in the letter that Myra did indeed marry him for his money, but that she was actually in love with an artist, not with Craig. Joe had decided to ask her to stay married, in part to save Craig from her. Craig then remembers Myra mentioning that an "old friend", an artist named Carl Holt, had visited her in jail during the trial. Craig goes to see Holt, who explains his long relationship with Myra, interrupted by her marriage to Joe, and states his gratitude and admiration for Craig in his defense work in Myra's trial, especially his posing as Myra's lover as a tactic. Craig later confronts Myra with Joe's letter and his talk with Holt. She admits that she does intend to go on with Holt now she is free. Accusing her of costing him his best friend, the love of his life and his profession all at once, Craig tells Myra she will pay for her crime regardless, because he will force her to murder him. Myra is incredulous, but Craig soon puts a plan in motion, developing a friendship with Holt, even employing him to paint a portrait to delay Myra and Holt's departure to Europe to marry. All the while, Craig taunts Myra that he will reveal all the evidence to Holt and let him decide if he wants to marry a murderess. As well, Craig meets socially with DA Willis, discussing Myra's case, and lets Myra see them together. Craig concludes his story being dictated into the tape recorder by saying he has arranged to meet Myra at the office at 12:30 am, which soon arrives. Hearing a knock at the office door, Craig leaves the recorder running and hides the microphone behind a desk photo of himself and Joe, then lets in Myra. He shows her the file he says is full of evidence he's compiled against her, and then sets down the pistol on the desk.

The outlook for hydrogen Asia-Pacific has become a lot more positive over the last six to 12 months, with companies from Australia to Japan stepping up efforts to formulate policies and plan projects in the hope that the clean fuel can play a big role in the energy transition process. But at this point there are probably more questions than answers. How quickly new hydrogen projects can come up? How fast governments can formulate polices? And how soon trade flows and a transparent market place can develop? Peter Godfrey, Asia Pacific Managing Director of The Energy Institute of the UK, joins S&P Global Platts senior editor Sambit Mohanty in this episode of Commodities Focus Podcasts to discuss the opportunities and challenges in Asia's hydrogen market.

As a boy Constable often passed by this cottage, at the end of Fen Lane, when he walked down the lane on his way to school at Dedham. The cottage belonged to Peter Godfrey of Old Hall, East Bergholt, and one of his workmen probably lived in it. It had been demolished by 1885 (St John 2002, p. 29). Constable made two versions of this subject, the first painted largely outdoors in the vicinity of East Bergholtduring the summer of 1815 and completed in 1833(Victoria and Albert Museum, London), and this second version painted in his studio in London towards the end of 1816 or the beginning of 1817. He made a number of changes to the image, showing the scene at high summer with the field full of ripe corn, changing the quality of the light, adding the figure beside the cottage on the left, and the donkey and foal standing to the right of the gate. He probably relied on the drawing he had made of this subject around 1815 . As Ian Fleming-Williams and Leslie Parris have shown, the most marked difference between the painting of 1815/1833and this work is the way in which Constable painted the trees on the right. In this painting he appears to have based his trees on those in Martino Rota’s engraving after Titian’s Martyrdom of St Peter Martyr (destroyed), a work Constable greatly admired (Fleming-Williams and Parris 1984, pp. 138–41). Thus, even during a period when he was working close to nature, Constable combined different elements in his paintings in order to improve his composition. In his biography of Constable, Andrew Shirley perceptively remarked that it was ‘a picture compact with the true sentiment of observation, playing the contrast of the remoteness of human habitation against the thick, ripening, jungle life of the corn surging up to the walls of the cottage’ (Shirley 1949, p. 105).

Constable spent the summer and early autumn of 1814 in Suffolk, painting directly from nature. In this work he depicted a panoramic view over the Stour Valley from an elevated position on the road from Flatford to East Bergholt,showing Dedham Church and the village to the left of centre. By including labourers shovelling manure in the foreground Constable created a down-to-earth image of the landscape around his home at East Bergholt – and a realistic record of Suffolk farming practice, emphasising the value of honest rural labour. The men would have cleared the manure from the stockyards in summer and deposited it beside the fields to dry, before manuring the fields in early autumn (I. Fleming-Williams, ‘A runover dungle and a possible date for “Spring”’, Burlington Magazine, vol. 114, June 1972, pp. 386–93). Not long after he painted this work Constable wrote: ‘This charming season … occupies me entirely in the feilds and I beleive I have made some landscapes that are better than is usual with me – at least that is the opinion of all here‘ (Beckett II, p. 131). Constable painted this work as a preparatory study for a painting commissioned by Thomas Fitzhugh as a wedding present for his bride, Philadelphia Godfrey: The Stour Valley and Dedham Church c.1815 (Boston Museum of Fine Arts). Philadelphia was the daughter of the local squire, Peter Godfrey, and the painting was intended as a memento of the view of the valley she knew well and was leaving behind – a view of Dedham Vale from just outside the grounds of her home, Old Hall, East Bergholt.
