Our miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge ends with a look back at her 1988 film Plain Clothes. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT   From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   On this episode, we're going to complete our miniseries on the 1980s films of director Martha Coolidge with her little seen 1988 movie Plain Clothes.   When we last left Ms. Coolidge, she had just seen her 1985 film Real Genius get lost in the mix between a number of similarly themed movies, although it would eventually find its audience through home video and repeated cable airings throughout the rest of the decade.   Shortly after the release of Real Genius, she would pick out her next project, a comedy mystery called Glory Days. Written by Dan Vining, Glory Days was one of a number of television and movie scripts floating around Hollywood that featured a supposedly young looking cop who goes undercover as a student at a high school. Whatever Coolidge saw in it, she would quickly get to work making it her own, hiring a young writer working at Paramount Studios named A. Scott Frank to help her rewrite the script. Coolidge had been impressed by one of his screenplays, a Neo-noir romantic mystery thriller called Dead Again, and felt Frank was the right person to help her add some extra mystery to the Glory Days screenplay.     While Frank and Coolidge would keep some elements of the original Glory Days script, including having the undercover cop's high school identity, Nick Springsteen, be a distant relative of the famous rock star from whose song the script had taken its title. But Coolidge would have Frank add a younger brother for the cop, and add a murdered teacher, who the younger brother is accused of killing, to give the film something extra to work towards.   For the cast, Coolidge would go with a mix of newcomers in the main roles, with some industry veterans to fill out the supporting cast.   When casting began in early 1987, Coolidge looked at dozens of actors for the lead role of Nick Dunbar, but she was particularly struck by thirty-two year old Arliss Howard, whose film work had been limited to supporting roles in two movies, but was expected to become a star once his role in Stanley Kubrick's next project, Full Metal Jacket, opened later in the summer.   Twenty-five year old Suzy Amis, a former model who, like Arlisss, had limited film work in supporting roles, would be cast as Robin, a teacher at the school who Nick develops a crush on while undercover.   The supporting cast would include George Wendt from Cheers, Laura Dern's mother Diane Ladd, an Oscar nominee for her role as Flo in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, veteran character actor Seymour Cassel, an Oscar nominee himself for John Cassavetes' Faces, Robert Stack, the original Elliot Ness who was yet another former Oscar nominee, Harry Shearer, and the great Abe Vigoda.   The $7.5m film would begin production in the Seattle metro area on May 6th, 1987 and would last for seven weeks, ending on June 30th.    Plain Clothes would open in 193 theatres on April 15th, 1988, including 59 theatres in New York City and eight in Seattle. The reviews would be vicious on the film, with many critics pointing out how ludicrous the plot was, and how distracting it was the filmmakers were trying to pass a thirty two year old actor off as a twenty four year old police officer going undercover as an eighteen year old high school student. Audiences would stay away in droves, with only about 57k people buying a ticket to see the film during the opening three days. A performance so bad, Paramount would end up pulling the film from theatres after seven days at a $289k ticket gross, replacing every screen with another high school-set movie, the similarly-titled Permanent Record, featuring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Rubin and Kathy Baker, which would also be the final film for Martha Coolidge's regular co-star Michelle Meyrink, who would quit acting the following year and develop an affinity in Zen Buddhism. She would eventually open her own acting studio in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia. Not so coincidentally, Martha Coolidge is one of advisory board members of the school.   There would be one more movie for Martha Coolidge in the 1980s, a made for television mystery called Trenchcoat in Paradise, featuring Dirk Benedict from Battlestar Galactica and The A-Team, Catherine Oxenberg from Dynasty, and Bruce Dern, but it's not very good and not really work talking about.   As the 80s moved into the 90s, Coolidge would continue to work both in television and in motion pictures.    In 1991, she would direct her Plain Clothes co-star Diane Ladd alongside Ladd's daughter, Laura Dern, in the Depression-era drama Rambling Rose. But despite unanimous critical consent and Oscar nominations for both Ladd and Dern, the first and only mother-daughter duo to be nominated for the same movie or in the same year, the $7.5m movie would only gross $6.3m.   1993's Lost in Yonkers would be the 23rd film written by Neil Simon, an adaptation of his 1991 Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Actors Irene Worth and Mercedes Ruehl would reprise their Broadway roles for the film, although Richard Dreyfuss would replace Kevin Spacey in the pivotal role as the gangster uncle of two teenage boys who go to live with their aunt after their mother dies. Despite good reviews, the $15m Lost in Yonkers would only gross about $9m.   Originally written as a starring vehicle for Madonna, the 1994 romantic-comedy Angie would instead star Geena Davis as an office worker in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, who sets her neighborhood upside-down when she decides to become a single mother. Coolidge's highest budgeted film at $26m, Angie would gross just $9.4m, but would in the years to come become famous for being the first film of James Gandolfini, Michael Rispoli and Aida Turturro, who would all go on to star in five years later.   1995's Three Wishes is a bizarre fantasy drama with Patrick Swayze and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, about two young boys whose mother starts to fall for a mysterious stranger after their father is reported missing during the Korean War. The $10m film would be the worst reviewed movie of Coolidge's career, and would barely gross $7m when it was released.   Things would turn around for Coolidge on her next film, Out to Sea. The penultimate film for both Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, this weak but genial romp, according to Janet Maslin of the New York Times, finds the regular co-stars on a Mexico-bound cruise ship, where they must work as dance hosts in order to pay for their trip. Also featuring Golden Girls co-stars Estelle Harris and Rue McClanahan alongside Dyan Cannon and Donald O'Connor, Out to Sea would become her highest grossing film to date, bringing in $29m worth of ticket sales.   While she would make a couple more movies, 2004's The Prince and Me and 2006's Material Girls, Coolidge would spend 1999 and the 2000s making her mark on television, directing episodes of CSI, Madame Secretary, Psych and Weeds, amongst dozens of shows, as well as the 1999 HBO film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, which would not only win its lead star Halle Berry a number of awards including the Emmy, the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award, it would be the first screenplay to be produced by a young writer named Shonda Rhimes. Coolidge herself would be nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Directing of a Movie Made for Television.   But her biggest achievement in Hollywood would come in 2002, when Coolidge would become the first female President of the Directors Guild of America. And in addition to being an advisor to Michelle Meyrink's acting school, she is also a professor of film studies at Chapman University in Southern California.   Thank you for joining us.

Anthony Award,  and the Palme d'or Award at the Cannes Film Festival.  She's been nominated for 3 Emmy Awards for her performances in “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”, “Grace Under Fire” and “Touched by an Angel”.   In addition to her Oscar-nominated roles, some of her most iconic movie performances can be seen in “Chinatown”, “A Kiss Before Dying”, “Christmas Vacation”, “The Cemetery Club”, “Mrs. Munck, which she also wrote and directed, “Ghosts of Mississippi”, “Primary Colors”, “Joy”,  and one of my all-time favourites, “The Last Full Measure”, directed by Todd Robinson who appeared on our show last year.    And, in addition to the 3 TV shows I already mentioned, for which she earned Emmy nominations, she's delivered some of her most memorable television performances in dozens of shows including “Chesapeake Shores”, “Kingdom Hospital”, and “Enlightened”, once again co-starring the wonderful Laura Dern.  She's written 2 bestselling books entitled, “Spiraling Through the School of Life: A Mental, Physical and Spiritual Discovery”, and “A Bad Afternoon for a Piece of Cake”, which won the 2014 Tennessee Williams Literary Award.    And I'm very excited that she's here to talk about her newest film, entitled, “Isle of Hope”, an unforgettably poignant and moving film about a mother-daughter relationship that takes a dramatic twist when the mother has a life threatening stroke and wakes up thinking she's living 15 years in the past.   Our guest's performance as Carmen Crawford, the mother in this film, is generating enormous Oscar buzz throughout the industry.  And that's no surprise to anyone.  After all, the renowned film critic Richard Corless of Time Magazine said it best, when he wrote that this woman is one of the top ten actresses not only in America, but the whole world. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ http://www.dianeladd.com/https://www.instagram.com/rosedianeladd/https://www.twitter.com/Diane_Ladd/https://www.facebook.com/DianeLadd1/ #DianeLadd   #IsleofHope   #harveybrownstoneinterviews

NEW EPISODE ALERT The year is 2015 and the nominees are: 1. Emma Stone - Birdman 2. Patricia Arquette - Boyhood 3. Meryl Streep - Into the Woods 4. Laura Dern - Wild 5. Keira Knightley - The Imitation Game In 2015 Patricia Arquette won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Boyhood, a coming-of-age drama that the director spent twelve years making. Arquette plays Olivia the mother of Mason (the character whom the story is about) who struggles at various times financially and as a single parent. Arquette won all the major awards for this performance. It's hard to say who her biggest competition would have been this season. Many fantastic but very different performances. Meryl Streep was offered 3 witch roles after turning 40 and had a rule of ‘no witches' because she viewed it as ageist. She made an acceptation for Into the Woods after meeting composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim and Rob Marshall. Emma Stone received her first nomination for Birdman playing the daughter of washed up action star Riggan Thomson. Laura Dern received her second nomination since 1991's Rambling Rose, this time in a supporting role, for Wild playing the mother of Cheryl. Dern receives a terminal diagnosis and Cheryl's life spins out of control and she eventually embarks on a thousand mile hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. Finally, Keira Knightley was nominated for one of my favourite films The Imitation Game playing Joan Clarke an English cryptanalyst and numismatist known for her code breaking during the Second World War and supporting character to Alan Turing. Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Adrian Cronk as they discuss.

Donald Macleod talks to Peter and Emilie Bernstein about their father, award winning Hollywood film composer Elmer Bernstein, who wrote for films during the 1980s and 1990s. Born in 1922, Elmer Bernstein created the music for more than 150 films. His big break was one of Hollywood's biggest pictures, Cecil B DeMille's swan song, the 1955 biblical epic, "The Ten Commandments". At the same time as working on that enormous canvas for DeMille, Bernstein was composing the first in a series of ground-breaking jazz infused scores, "The Man with the Golden Arm". He went on to write the music for the Hollywood adaptation of Harper Lee's classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", Westerns which include The Magnificent Seven, surely one of the best known title themes in the history of cinema, before he became the go to composer for John Wayne. His scores for action adventures include "The Great Escape" and a moving depiction of the inner life of a prisoner in "Birdman of Alcatraz". Nominated on numerous occasions, he won an Oscar for "Thoroughly Modern Millie". In the 1980s he delighted younger generations of cinema goers with scores such as "National Lampoon's Animal House", "Ghostbusters" and "Airplane!", before deciding to make a return to more serious drama. Projects with Martin Scorsese included the film of Edith Wharton's novel "The Age of Innocence", and he also created a remarkable portrait of the artist Christy Brown in "My Left Foot". His last score, for which he received a final Oscar nomination, was for Todd Haynes' "Far from Heaven" in 2002. He died just two years later in 2004. As well as a hugely successful career as a film composer Elmer Bernstein assumed several leadership roles. He also financed a scheme to preserve Hollywood film scores. Among the music he preserved was Max Steiner's King Kong. Donald Macleod marks the centenary of this gifted and versatile film composer in conversation with Peter and Emilie Bernstein, two of Elmer Bernstein's children. They offer a fascinating insider's view to the film music industry alongside a personal portrait of their father.

We wrap up our John Heard series with a film he's hardly in. It's Martha Coolidge's 1991 Depression coming of age story ‘Rambling Rose,' which stars Laura Dern and her mother Diane Ladd! Tune in.

The Next Reel Film Podcast Master Feed

Coming of age stories come in all shapes and sizes. The adaptation of Calder Willingham's 1972 semi-autobiographical novel ‘Rambling Rose' into Martha Coolidge's 1991 film of the same name was one that captured a slice of life of a teenager and his family growing up in the South during the Great Depression. His coming of age largely happens when the new housekeeper moves in and piques his sexual awareness. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our John Heard series with Coolidge's 1991 film Rambling Rose. Does Rambling Rose work for us? This is an interesting film because there's a lot about it to discuss. But does that mean we liked it? Pete really didn't while Andy liked it but with reservations. Neither of us were as captured as critics were at the time, so why is that? We go back and forth on the characters here. Andy likes Robert Duvall. Pete doesn't. We both love Diane Ladd. Laura Dern and Lukas Haas are great but what do we think of their characters? And that doctor? Is he stupidly evil or is there more to him? Of course there's the whole sexual exploration dealt with between an underage teen and a 19-year-old. Does that feel problematic? Or is it dealt with in a believable way? But what about how they handled it during the production? John Heard's in this, but only in the framing device. Do we even like the framing device for this film? Would it have worked without it? How about Martha Coolidge's direction? And how the heck did Renny Harlin and Mario Kasar get involved? It's an interesting film. Not one of our favorites, though even we disagree on whether it works or not. But it's worth watching and discussing for sure, so check it out then tune in.

When it comes to leading ladies, you’d have a hard time finding a more powerhouse lineup than 1991’s THELMA & LOUISE, which saw both of its stars nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars that year. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon play BFFs whose road trip goes seriously south when they shoot a rapist and end up as unlikely outlaws bound for Mexico — via the Grand Canyon, of course. Callie Khouri’s original screenplay was so groundbreaking and audacious, it attracted the attention of nearly every actress in Hollywood — and was passed on by nearly every studio executive at the time, who pushed Khouri to make her characters more “ladylike” and change the controversial (and now totally legendary) ending. In this episode, our hosts discuss a film that had the odds stacked against it ever getting a greenlight, which has since become one of the most iconic and beloved films of the 90s. We also dust off the two other runners-up from the 1991 Best Actress race, seeing how For The Boys’ Bette Midler and Rambling Rose’s Laura Dern stack up against Sarandon and Davis. Does Thelma & Louise still feel as fresh as it did 30 years ago? Would the film still ruffle as many patriarchal feathers if it were made today? And what ever became of that handsome newcomer who plays the drifter? Climb in your Thunderbird, lock a cop up in the trunk, and leave your sex hair as is, because we’re in hot pursuit of the ultimate female buddy movie — and we think we have it in our sights!

The first part (ep 74) discussed Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs, and both Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon in Thelma & Louise. That episode went non-spoilers for those 2 great movies, and we do recommend you go back and listen to it and see those films. This episode features spoilers for both shitty films Rambling Rose and For The Boys, and you’re welcome. These movies suck, and we do not recommend you watch them. So our guilt in going full spoilers here is assuaged by the sheer entertainment value you can draw from our rage against these movies. Enjoy. So to begin part 2, we first cover Laura Dern’s crazed performance in the Robert Duvall / Diane Ladd depression era domestic drama Rambling Rose. We begin with a bio / filmography of Laura Dern’s unique and illustrious career, where her blockbuster performances are few and far between many eclectic choices in serious indie dramas like those of David Lynch as well as colossal award winning TV roles such as her Emmy win in Big Little Lies. Rambling Rose commits cardinal sins, in both the screenwriting and filmmaking realms of the storytelling. However good Dern’s performance might be, it is overshadowed by the morally bankrupt scenes and the astonishingly callous male perspective thereof. For the Boys is a hot mess. The film overshoots the mark of trying to be an epic performance piece spanning 3 wars and decades in the life of Bette Midler’s Dixie Leonard. Luckily, we give credit where it’s due, but there’s also some schlock. We’re amazed a film this bad could be nominated for Hollywood’s highest honors, despite the preceding bio / filmography / discography of one of our greatest treasures from the stage, screen, and billboard top 100 charts, Bette Midler. We complete the retrospective with a thorough look at the year of 1991 in film with our segment of Perfecting Perfection. Both Mikes rerank the performances. Then we have fun reminiscing about all the notable films of 1991 before Mike No. 1 gives his top 5 Best Actresses, and Also Mike, his top 10 films. Also, I say Kurt Douglas when I mean Kurt Russell. Whoops. There are plenty more retrospectives where this came from in our back catalog, as well as 6 Best Original Song halfisodes for all you Oscar junkies. We’ve also covered the heck out of last Oscar Season, Netflix, the entire MCU, and we’ve reviewed the big hits of 2018 and previewed next year’s award season with a host of episodes ranging from movie events to theatrical previews to hollywood news chats. Chat with us on social media, and please help us spread the word about our show.

This time, we’re covering the 1991 Best Actress race. Jodie Foster won the award for her electric performance in Silence of the Lambs. Geena Davis and Susan Surandon both got nods for their titular roles in Thelma & Louise, and we’ll discuss Bette Midler’s versatile singing & acting & dancing & acting in For The Boys and Laura Dern’s batshit turn as Rambling Rose in part two. We’ll also re-rank the category and weigh in on the films of the entire year in our perfecting perfection segment. So don’t miss it. In this episode, we focus on the first three nominees taken from the two films that seem like polar opposites, but in fact, are more similar than one might think. We begin with our trademark Year in Review segment chronicling all the big news and contextualizing you about everything going on back in 1991. We then dive deep, or as deep as we can without spoilers into the performance of Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling opposite Anthony Hopkins’ Oscar winning turn as Hannibal Lecter. It’s some rare air, and Foster provides plenty of great acting to elevate her into the stratosphere above red carpets. Both Geena Davis and Susan Surandon bring uniquely strong performances to Thelma & Louise. It’s pretty much another gush-fest, as we both enjoyed the hell out of this unconventional movie that seemed years before it’s time. Stay tuned for part two as we’ll definitely have some harsher things to say about the remaining two movies, which we think are bad enough to just all-out spoil. You shouldn’t care, and in fact, we think you’ll be much better off in the long run. So take the leap of faith in our critical abilities, or if you don’t buy that, then in our immaturity to mock sappy stupid films and join us for part two as we finish yet another retrospective in as many weeks. Look…. At …. Us. If you enjoyed these episodes, check out previous retrospectives in our back catalog. Full disclosure, the early episodes have their moments, but also some shabby audio as we’ve since spent some cash to upgrade our set-up by quite a lot of Guitar Center goodies. We also covered the hell out of last year’s Oscar movies, reviewing each of the major nominees in their own episodes, then each of the “Big 7” categories themselves as well. We also have some early predictions for next year’s Award Season and updated this with our latest Hollywood Hot Takes no 6. But if old movies aren’t your flavor of the month, don’t fret. We cover all kinds of new movies both in theaters and coming out soon. That, plus we reviewed the entire MCU including the newest Avengers film. So we got you covered.
