Podcast appearances and mentions of Ralph Richardson

Disney's 'Dragonslayer' from 1981 is the next film in Nerd Legion's 1980s fantasy movie marathon! In this episode, they discuss the intriguing plot, standout performances, particularly by Ralph Richardson as Ulrich the Sorcerer, and the visually stunning cinematography and special effects. They also explore the film's mixed tones, underwhelming lead character, and its enduring influence on contemporary fantasy media, including George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones. Join us as we dive into the strange history behind making this underrated film and how it served as the forerunner of contemporary, gritty, and realistic fantasy fiction that dominates media today.

It's a wonderful night for Oscar! The Academy Awards will be handed out this evening, so in celebration of Hollywood's biggest night, here are four old time radio mysteries - each starring an actor who took home a golden statuette. Edmond O'Brien (Best Supporting Actor for The Barefoot Contessa) is Johnny Dollar in "The George Farmer Matter" (originally aired on CBS on June 9, 1951). Rex Harrison (Best Actor for My Fair Lady) stars as a debonair detective in "A Trip to the Death House" from The Private Files of Rex Saunders (originally aired on NBC on June 13, 1951). Humphrey Bogart (Best Actor for The African Queen) and Lauren Bacall (nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The Mirror Has Two Faces) star in "Senor Rufio's Legacy of Death," a syndicated episode of Bold Venture. Finally John Gielgud (Best Supporting Actor for Arthur) and Ralph Richardson (a two-time Best Supporting Actor nominee) are Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in "The Golden Pince-Nez" (originally aired on NBC on April 3, 1955).

In this Diana Wynyard Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode we finally come to the source, James Whale's One More River (1934), the movie that inspired Dave to schedule this series, and don't worry, we still think it's a masterpiece. We recap how we've watched the Wynyard onscreen persona evolve and how Whale's new context for it gives it an unforgettable impact. And then we watch Wynyard discard that persona in On the Night of the Fire (1939), playing the supportive but stymied wife of Ralph Richardson's beleaguered Everyman in this ultra-despairing British noir.

Este pasado verano, se nos quedó pendiente de publicar este episodio con el que retomamos el género de fantasía con una película de espada y brujería que, a pesar de sus múltiples virtudes, entre las que destaca el fabuloso dragón Vermithrax y la banda sonora de Alex North, no es tan recordada como otras similares de la época. Y eso que fue precursora de muchas de ellas. “El Dragón del Lago de Fuego” (81), dirigida y co-guionizada por Matthew Robbins, es toda una joyita por descubrir. Nominada a dos Óscar por los efectos visuales y la banda sonora, co-producida por Paramount y Disney, pertenece a esa “edad de bronce” o “edad oscura” de la compañía del ratón, en la que se permitieron ser más arriesgados y valientes, sin que los resultados gozaran del reconocimiento en taquilla que muchos de estos productos se merecían. Basándose en cuentos antiguos, en la mitología existente, en otras películas anteriores y en la literatura previa, con especial mención a la obra de Tolkien, Matthew Robbins y Hal Barwood construyen un cuento oscuro con magos, campesinos, reyes, guerreros, princesas y, por supuesto, un dragón. Un dragón que surca el cielo, animado con avanzadas técnicas de stop motion y go-motion, construido con enormes animatrónicos y con una ambientación y escenarios de lo más efectiva. A lo largo de este episodio, desarrollamos todos estos aspectos, al tiempo que desglosamos la trama de la película y reflexionamos acerca de diferentes cuestiones que se derivan de la misma. Por supuesto, sin olvidarnos de hablar del elenco, mezcla de veteranos y nóveles, con un curtido Ralph Richardson y un debutante Peter MacNicol, como duplo ganador, escoltados por una joven Caitlin Clarke y con la presencia de Chloe Salaman, ejerciendo de trágica princesa Disney. Para iluminarnos en esta tarea, contamos con un highlander especialmente erudito y versado en las artes místicas, el historiador Manuel Jesús Segado Uceda. Asimismo, el paladín Óscar Cabrera aporta su voluntarismo y torpe pasión, mientras que el regio Juan Pablo Molina, nuestro videoclubsero, ruge y brama contenidos. Recordad que podéis dejar vuestra opinión y comentarios sobre el episodio, o incluso haceros suscriptores, ayudando a estos pobres aprendices de magos a seguir con su ejercicio de alquimia, que busca convertir el plomo de nuestras vidas en el oro de la ilusión y fantasía que sólo los ochenta podían ofrecer. ---------------------------------------------------------------- RECUERDA QUE PUEDES APOYARNOS A TRAVÉS DEL SISTEMA DE SUSCRIPCIÓN DE FANS ➡️https://www.ivoox.com/support/248910 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Escúchanos también en www.remakealos80.com Recuerda suscribirte a nuestro canal de YouTube para estar al día de nuestros directos https://www.youtube.com/@remakealos80 Síguenos en Instagram y Twitter @Remakealos80 y búscanos en Telegram, te dejamos el enlace a nuestro grupo de para que compartas tus opiniones e interactúes con nosotros: https://t.me/joinchat/GXsRJYMd3wQVBG2v Episodio grabado en verano de 2024

Great Scott...600 episodes?! To mark the occasion, I'm on a trip to 221B Baker Street with my favorite radio adventures of Sherlock Holmes. In this super-sized Sherlock special, we'll hear John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson in "A Scandal in Bohemia." Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are Holmes and Watson in "The Notorious Canary Trainer" (originally aired on Mutual on April 23, 1945) and "The Speckled Band" (originally aired on Mutual on November 12, 1945), and then Bruce is joined by Tom Conway as Holmes in "The Adventure of the Tolling Bell" (originally aired on ABC on April 7, 1947). My personal favorite Holmes and Watson - John Stanley and Alfred Shirley - headline "The Laughing Lemur of Hightower Heath" (originally aired on Mutual on October 26, 1947), "The Cadaver in the Roman Toga" (originally aired on Mutual on November 9, 1947), "The Stolen Naval Treaty" (originally aired on Mutual on November 23, 1947), and "The Case of the Sudden Senility" (originally aired on Mutual on January 11, 1948). And finally, it's - appropriately enough - "The Final Problem," with Gielgud, Richardson, and special guest star Orson Welles as Professor Moriarty. In the mood for more Holmes and Watson? Click here for our spotlight show on Edith Meiser, the woman who brought Holmes to radio and penned his adventures for years. And here's a collection of mysteries featuring Holmes and Watson battling seemingly supernatural foes.

Welcome to another thrilling episode of "Friday Night Noir" on Vintage Classic Radio! This Friday, we kick off with the mesmerizing “ABC Mystery Time” featuring the iconic episode, "The Picture of Dorian Gray." Originally broadcasted in 1956, this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel delves into the eerie story of a man whose portrait ages while he remains young and beautiful, reflecting the dark deeds of his life. Hosted by Don Dowd, "ABC Mystery Time" attracted top-tier talent, including the legendary Sir Laurence Olivier, who brought Dorian Gray's complex character to life. Supporting Olivier, the cast featured notable actors such as Judith Anderson as the insightful Lady Agatha and Ralph Richardson providing the voice of the morally conflicted Lord Henry. The episode is a splendid example of how ABC Mystery Time adapted classic literature into captivating radio drama, enticing listeners with its psychological depth and moral intrigue. Following that, our night continues with the "Eleventh Hour" radio series and the episode titled "Millionaire's Double." This intriguing tale revolves around a wealthy man who employs a look-alike to thwart potential threats, only to find himself entangled in a deadly game of deceit and mistaken identity. This episode is a prime example of "Eleventh Hour's" knack for suspenseful storytelling with unexpected twists. "The Eleventh Hour," a riveting radio drama series from the 1960s, was produced by Artransa Park Studios in Sydney in collaboration with 2GB 873AM and the Australian Broadcasting Company. Originally syndicated for the South African market via Springbok Radio and later broadcast to U.S. troops overseas, the series eschewed the typical horror host, opting instead for a direct plunge into action, enhancing the suspense. Although drawing from popular American radio dramas, "The Eleventh Hour" maintained a unique flair, leveraging high production values and the influence of American cinema to create a distinctive and eerie atmosphere. Both episodes highlight the golden era of radio drama, bringing together stellar casts and gripping narratives that continue to enchant audiences even decades after their original airings. Join us this Friday on Vintage Classic Radio for a night of mystery and suspense that promises to be unforgettable!

In this episode of Overlapping Dialogue, we take a look at two well-crafted antiques of cinematic yesteryear, one being a genuine article of the past and another as a vibrant reinvention of a dead artform, with 1939's The Four Feathers and 2015's The Forbidden Room. But before we dig into our double feature, we recognize there's no time like the present to indulge in a Blue Plate Special slate that celebrates the life and legacy of Donald Sutherland, speculates on what exactly the prospects of the "experiential attractions" Netflix House intends to offer, catches up on X and Pearl ahead of the trilogy-capping MaXXXine's release, warms up the half-baked yet edible tastes of Unfrosted, and takes comfort in the subtle pleasures of the newly released The Bikeriders. After ascending to hog heaven, we delight in our retro double feature: listen as we place Zoltan Korda's film into the larger canon of British adventure stories and marvel at Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson's truly transformational experiment in the lost craft, beauty, and perversity of silent cinema.

Steppenwolf Theatre Company ensemble member and co-founder Jeff Perry returns to Chicago to star in Harold Pinter's No Man's Land, and he discusses what drew him to this role, at this time, at this theatre. Perry shares how seeing John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson in No Man's Land in 1975 inspired a lifetime love of theatre and passion for Pinter; reveals the surprising number of Pinter productions at Steppenwolf over the years; evokes the original cast of Fiddler on the Roof; confesses the delirious joy of communal tomfoolery; talks about how Balm in Gilead gave him a triple doctorate in advanced theatre physics, as well as a motto for the Steppenwolf ensemble; and marvels at the wonder of having a “jazz soul.” Just a couple of old theatre geeks sitting around talking. (Length 21:47)

Want to know which public information advert from his childhood rolls off Mark's tongue like the alphabet? How uncanny his Gielgud impression is? Whether any man wants cock in Tod - and what that even means? The madrigals he sang the very first time he was on stage? What wonderful tradition began with Ralph Richardson firing rockets off the roof of the National Theatre? And why Mark will forever remember our Jonny as the Donmar Enforcer? Of course you do! What a joy it is to welcome the polymath and global treasure that is Mark Gatiss to the podcast about theatre, life, and life in the theatre. Hosted on Acast.

In 1953 Orson Welles met Italian actress Paola Mori. She was twenty-four, beautiful, and had lived for eight months in a concentration camp during World War II. Her father, a colonel in the Italian army under King Victor Emmanuel III, was a member of the anti-Mussolini resistance. They were soon dating. In early 1954, Welles played a small part as Benjamin Franklin in the French/Italian historical drama Royal Affairs in Versailles. Later in the year he was cast by director Herbert Wilcox as the main antagonist in Trouble In the Glen, opposite Margaret Lockwood, Forrest Tucker and Victor McLaglen. It portended things to come, as Harry Alan Towers was still producing a series of Sherlock Holmes radio adventures, starring John Gielgud as Holmes and Ralph Richardson as Watson.

"The only person that knew (about her affair with with Laurence Olivier) was my Mother, as she caught us together." - Sarah Miles Robert Emery talks to Sarah Miles for Part Two of their explosive podcast episode. If you missed Part One, then click here to watch it before enjoying this follow-up episode. Sarah is an English theatre and film actress who was nominated for four BAFTA's, two Golden Globes and an Oscar. Sarah talks about her biological connection with the British Royal family, finishing RADA and going straight into the West-End where Sir John Gielgud famously said "Did you know you have a bottom just like a boy? Two poached eggs in a handkerchief." Sarah was catapulted into the limelight at a young age, starring opposite some of the greats including Dirk Bogarde, Vanessa Redgrave, Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Margaret Rutherford & Robert Mitchum; she had two marriages to the same person - the screen writer Robert Bolt (winner of two Oscars, two BAFTA's, three Golden Globes and a Tony award) and an epiphany three years after filming Ryan's Daughter that changed her life forever. This sometimes intense conversation takes us up to 1973, just before she filmed 'The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing' opposite Burt Reynolds, where her life took a turn for the worse and tragedy struck.

Recipe for a riotous sixties romp? Take two aging thespians, mix in a dozen dependable character actors, add three or four comic geniuses to bind it all together and season with a generous pinch of psychedelic Victoriana. Top it off with a rising young star and the director's wife and the result is a complex confection full of surprises which the whole family can enjoy! Joining Tyler this week is writer, podcaster and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington to talk about a film which he (rightly) argues is unfairly underappreciated: Bryan Forbes' 1966 ensemble comedy The Wrong Box. It qualifies for this podcast owing to a film-stealing turn by Peter Sellers as Doctor Pratt, but he is only one of many delights - it also features Peter Cook & Dudley Moore as a pair of hissable villains, Wilfrid Lawson as a butler on the verge of collapse, Michael Caine as the dashing, if naive, romantic lead, Tony Hancock as a rheumy-eyed troubled 'tec and Ralph Richardson as an increasingly erratic epistemophilic uncle! Also in 'blink-and-you'll-miss-'em' terms, Valentine Dyall, John Junkin, Leonard Rossiter and Graham Stark! (Graham Stark appears by kind permission of Mr Sellers). And, of course, the Lovely Nanette Newman as Miss Julia Finsbury. It's a fun, rambling conversation which, like the film itself, takes a lot of surprising turns!

In this Book Club edition of the podcast, we finally have a chance to explore the work of Friend of the Pod Henry James. We look at James's short novel Washington Square (1880) and long short story "The Turn of the Screw" (1898), and two of their adaptations, The Heiress (1949, directed by William Wyler) and The Innocents (1961, directed by Jack Clayton). We focus on the arcs of the heroines in the two works and the very different directions in which the adaptations take them, as well as the acting opportunities they present for Olivia de Havilland and Deborah Kerr. We also praise the performances of Ralph Richardson as Austin Sloper and Martin Stephens as Miles, two very tricky, eminently Jamesian roles. But is Henry James unadaptable? We give our verdict.  Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:    Henry James: Quantum Romancer 0h 09m 30s:    Washington Square & THE HEIRESS (1949) [dir.

Malcolm McDowell has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Growing up in Liverpool in the early ‘60s, he took his girlfriend to see The “Silver” Beatles at the Cavern Club. By the end of the decade, he was one of the beautiful people swingin' through London as the star of Lindsay Anderson's “If….” and "O Lucky Man." In 1971, he drew raves for his electric performance in Stanley Kubrick's “A Clockwork Orange.”Fifty years later, he feels like a "Lucky Man" all over again for landing in Canada on CBC's breakout comedy hit, “Son of a Critch.”McDowell loved shooting in Newfoundland and immediately bonded with his young British co-star, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth.  He praises the scripts along with the book the series was spun off from: Mark Critch's memoir about growing up eccentric on Canada's East Coast.And what a life he has led in-between. Listen as McDowell tells story after story about the famous stage and film folk he has known, including three Sirs:  Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson and John Guilgud. Other names dropped include Peter Sellers, Robert Altman, Robert Mitchum, Michael Caine and George Harrison. At 78, he's never been busier, having just finished shooting a movie with two actors he adores: Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.He's got stories about them, too. This is a podcast you don't want to miss.

If this week's guest and I were to find ourselves in a post-apocalyptic dystopian wasteland in which only twenty or so people survived, and podcasts didn't exist anymore, we'd no doubt agree that our lives no longer had any purpose and head off to ask Nurse Marty Feldman for a couple of death certificates. On our way we'd be careful to avoid uxoricidal Shelter Man Harry Secombe, bewhiskered GPO Man Spike Milligan and barber-for-hire (& rubber fetishist) Roy Kinnear. Above all we'd make sure to KEEP MOVING! Yes, this episode Adam from RetroTube joins Tyler to talk about Richard Lester's big screen adaptation of Milligan and John Antrobus's acclaimed stage play, surreal Cold War satire The Bed Sitting Room (1969) featuring Milligan, Secombe, Kinnear and Feldman as well as Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, Ralph Richardson, Michael Hordern, Arthur Lowe, Rita Tushingham and Frank Thornton (as “The BBC”) The Third World War was the shortest war in history at 2 minutes 28 seconds in duration and left 40 million dead but almost everyone left in London is trying to put a brave face on it. Everyone, that is, apart from Lord Fortnum. He's convinced he's turning into a bed sitting room. What follows is a bewildering but often hilarious series of events, at times veering off towards some pretty bleak moments. Did Tyler enjoy it? Did Adam? Tune in to find out!

In the tenth episode of Season 5 (Dystopia Myopia) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and streamer Daniel Lopez to discuss the absurdist apocalypse and the futile gesture of society moving forward in Richard Lester's bleak and surreal The Bed Sitting Room.

Your genial host Norm Wilner is on the edge of his seat.
