"MARY BETH HUGHES - CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 3/03/2025 For those of you who don't know the charms of MARY BETH HUGHES, when she was under contract at MGM, she was dubbed "the poor man's LANA TURNER." It was a rather unfair assessment since MGM gave Lana all the plum roles, and Mary Beth got her hand-me-downs. But still, Mary Beth had great comic chops, and no one played bitchy, hard-boiled blondes as well as she. Despite her beauty and talent, she never managed to get out of B-pictures. She did have small parts in great films like The Women (1939) and The Ox-Bow Incident (1942). She played the good girl as often as she played the bad girl, but when she played bad....you were in for a treat. Her pouty lips, snappy dialogue, and petulant attitude lit up many a lackluster production. This week, we celebrate her as our Star of the Month. SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The Official Mary Beth Hughes Website; “Mary Beth Hughes, Born in Alton, Benign Groomed for Stardom in Movies,” January 4, 1939, Alton Evening Telegraph; “Mary Beth Hughes,” October 1971, by T.P.

EPISODE 60 - "THELMA RITTER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 11/04/2024 There's a scene in the classic 1950 film All About Eve where Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER), a star-struck fan who has infiltrated the life of Broadway star Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS), is telling the tragic story of her past to Margo and her friends. While Margo and company are drawn into the sad circumstances of Eve's life, Margo's acerbic dresser Birdie, played to perfection by the great THELMA RITTER, is not buying her sob story. After Eve finishes, Birdie mutters, "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end." This is probably the moment I fell in love with Ritter. With her heavy New York accent, diminutive size, working-class charm, and sarcastic zingers, she made a career of stealing scenes from big stars and making the most of her time on screen. She played characters wiser than most, and her characters certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. She is a cinematic treasure, and we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** In the great film noir classic Thieves Highway, a gripping drama that takes on the dirty underbelly of the trucking industry, the spectacular RICHARD CONTE plays Nick Garcos, a world-weary, jaded, World War II vet who returns home. After finding his family's produce business in shambles and his father crippled, he seeks revenge against the crooked rival produce dealer who caused his father's accident. In his gripping portrayal, Conte shows his strengths as an actor. With his square shoulders, cleft chin, and intense eyes, Conte gives the impression that he means business. Conte was just as comfortable playing mobsters and street hoods as he was playing charming, sympathetic leading men. He always projected manly strength, and you knew he was no one you wanted to mess with. So say hello to our Star of the Month, RICHARD CONTE.

Desde la semana pasada circularon entre vecinos mensajes en los que se les pedía que no salieran a la calle porque podría haber tiroteos. El jueves pasado un joven de 21 años fue asesinado de un disparo en la cabeza y la banda a la que pertenecía había jurado venganza. Las líneas de ómnibus tuvieron que modificar sus recorridos debido a las balaceras ocurridas en esa parte de la ciudad. El delegado de la Unott, Richard Conte, señaló que se trata de una zona muy conflictiva, pero en la que también viven unas 23 mil personas que usan las líneas 79 y 306 todos los días. Debido a estos hechos el alcalde del Municipio D, Gabriel Velazco, suspendió las tareas de limpieza, iluminación y barrido en el barrio para proteger a los trabajadores. El patrullaje se extenderá hasta por 20 días, mientras se instrumentan acciones a más largo plazo. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Gabriel Velazco, alcalde del Municipio D.

Besser als Herr Gramsch zu Beginn dieser Episode kann man es wirklich nicht zusammenfassen: Heute sind sie alle dabei. Henry Silva, Richard Conte, Gianni Garko, Franco Nero, David Hess und Corinne Clery bilden das Staraufgebot eines explosiven Double-Features mit delikatem Italosleaze. Zuerst begeben wir uns Richtung Mailand, wo Fernando di Leo seine legendäre Milieu-Trilogie mit Der Teufel führt Regie (Il Boss, 1973) beendet. Über den ersten Teil selbiger haben wir vor fast neun Jahren übrigens gesprochen, auch wenn sich Daniel nicht mehr daran erinnert. Anschließend zünden wir die nächste Eskalationsstufe mit Wenn du krepierst, lebe ich! (Autostop Rosso Sangue, 1977), das wohl übergriffigste Roadmovie der 70er Jahre. Aber auch hier wird nicht nur viel geblutet und gepimpert, sondern mit ebensoviel Leidenschaft gleich die ganze verlogene Männlichkeit der damaligen Zeit filetiert. Ein saftiges Vergnügen, musikalisch begleitet von Maestro Ennio Morricone. Hach! Timecodes: 00:01:35 - 00:36:10 Filmgespräch Der Teufel führt Regie (Fernando di Leo, 1973) 00:36:10 - 01:17:40 Filmgespräch Wenn du krepierst, lebe ich! (Pasquale Festa Campanile, 1977)

To generations of classic movie fans, Richard Conte is instantly recognizable as Don Barzini, longtime rival of Don Corleone in The Godfather. But before that role  Conte had spent years in war movies, noir dramas, and TV shows - co-starring with Jimmy Stewart, Victor Mature, and Frank Sinatra. We'll hear Conte as a boxer with Peter Lorre as his murderous manager in "Of Maestro and Man" (originally aired on CBS on July 20, 1944). Then, Conte is a private eye hunting for the killer of a bookie in "Win, Place, and Murder" (originally aired on CBS on April 24, 1947). Finally, he plays Wyatt Earp in a western drama from the Hallmark Playhouse (originally aired on CBS on March 24, 1949).

Tom and Jenny discuss one of the greatest American films ever made, Francis Ford Coppola’s Mafia epic The Godfather, based on the blockbuster novel by Mario Puzo and starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard Castellano, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, John Marley, Richard Conte, and Diane Keaton. Thanks Louie for sending us the movie! … Continue reading Matinee LIVE: The Godfather (1972)

This week's episode, an offer we simply couldn't refuse, has us celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of quite literally the greatest film to ever grace the collective medium of cinema: The Godfather. We do our best to explore the endless number of facets that elevated Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterwork as the natural evolution of the gangster genre (one of America's purest artforms), situate its status within the New Hollywood canon, place each and every brilliant performance in their context of coexistence with one another, and weigh its various historical and political contexts to uncover what exactly about it continues to capture the attention of all who interact with it- past, present, and future. Above all else, this is just a podcast of two movie lovers giggling with joy talking about the work that made them fall in love with motion pictures in a deep and fundamental way. We hope it's but a fraction of a delight to listen to as it was for us to produce. Feel free to skip to 2:36:40 for the beginning of our audio commentary.

Two men, Carter Elliot and Timmy Robertson are murdered in their home in Conway, Arkansas. Police have few leads and seemingly no suspects. That is until Elliot's ex-wife, Lark is kidnapped by her most recent ex-husband, Richard Conte. Lark is safely let go after a standoff with police, and what they find in Conte's cabin raises more questions.Afterwards, we talk Dune, Blade Runner 2049, The Song of Achilles, Scenes From A Marriage, and more.Twitter: https://twitter.com/PTTDpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pttdpod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paintthetowndead/Email: PTTDPod@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Two years ago, two friends came together for a podcast after discovering a mutual love of cinema. In this episode, we celebrate two years of The Plotaholics Podcast by reviewing one of the greatest films to ever exist: Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 MASTERPIECE, The Godfather, which stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duval, James Caan, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, and so many others. This film needs no synopsis. If you don't know about The Godfather by now, I don't know what to tell you! We're joined by the official third Plotaholic, and the Godfather of the Indies himself, Mr. Joe Compton. We celebrate two years of laughs and film analysis in this special episode. Thank you all for coming along on this journey with us. We look forward to the road ahead.Support the show (https://plotaholics.com)

The Big Combo is a 1955 film noir by director Joseph H. Lewis starring Cornel Wilde, Richard Conte, Brian Donlevy, and Jean Wallace. And boy, is it a mixed bag! The film follows a dull detective seeking to bust Mr. Brown, the leader of an insidious crime syndicate, or "combo." Along the way, our hero obsesses over Brown's piano-loving moll, undergoes torture-by-jazz, and infringes upon the civil rights of countless besuited crooks. Listen to Áine and Kevin talk about the film's unique blend of tedious storytelling and gorgeous filmmaking choices.Beware!

In the thirty-fourth episode of Season 2, Noir Means Noir, Kyle is joined by fellow cinephile Derek Paranay and actor Dan Bauer to discuss the perilous journey of agriculture truckers and the duplicitous city markets that create a corrupt and slanted game in Jules Dassin's Thieves' Highway

By all accounts a job for hire, The Blue Gardenia nonetheless benefited from having German director Fritz Lang at the helm.  On a tight 21 day shooting schedule, Lang and cinematographer Nicholas Musuraca came up with shooting techniques that would save time while also contributing a sense of suffocating paranoia and intensity.  They are aided enormously by an able cast led by Anne Baxter, Richard Conte, Ann Sothern and Raymond Burr and classed up musically be the appearance of Nat King Cole on the soundtrack and in a key scene. Dan and Vicky discuss the film along with a bunch of recently seen including films Come Play, Antebellum, Hitchcock's Family Plot, HBO's Superintelligence, the heist films of Michael Caine and TV shows like The Vow, The Undoing, and Masterpiece: 50 Fabulous Years.   Also hear from Dan about his recent Covid scare and what your hosts think about the news that Warner Bros. is releasing their entire film slate on HBOMAX!

It's a Noirvember bonus this week as we discuss Otto Preminger's hypnosis thriller Whirlpool (1950), starring Gene Tierney, Richard Conte, Jose Ferrer, and Charles Bickford. Subjects include kleptomania, Hulkamania (not that kind), gallbladder crises, and our very healthy parasocial relationships with the terrible stars we love. Please forgive the audio issues, particularly toward the end of the episode, which was recorded on 70-year-old equipment stolen from Richard Conte's home office in a trance.

In this episode we wrap up my 50 Fabulous Family History Favorites List On Friday I babysat my two grandsons Davy and Joey, and I put together a little game that was prompted by a listener email. You met long time listener and Premium Member Dot in Australia during our virtual Christmas Party in episode 147, and after the show aired, Dot wrote me to say how much she enjoyed it and to tell me about a little concentration game she put together for her granddaughter.  When my kids were growing up we called in the Memory Game and I know some folks call it the Match Game. But no matter what you call it, it's the game where you have a set of cards that are all pairs, and you lay them upside down in rows on the table and two at a time turn them over trying to find matches. The person with the most matches wins. Dot made up cards with photos of her family members. She writes: “She opened the little box I was holding and went through the photos one by one. We put a few pairs down at a time, and as she turned them over she matched them. I included our pets as well.” I wrote Dot back to let her know that MyHeritage.com had something similar. You have to sign in to your free account. In the menu you will find the MyHeritage Family Game under the Apps tab When Davy, who is three years old, arrived on Friday I got to thinking about all this, and I quickly whipped together a set of cards using photos of family members and ancestors. How to Make a Quick Memory Game: Software:  Microsoft Publisher Create one rectangle outline shape the desired size of the cards Copy and paste the shape to fill up the page. (I fit 6 cards per page) Duplicate the page enough times to have enough cards for a game. (I just started with 9 pairs) Using the Insert Picture feature, fill each rectangle with a digital photo from your computer (adjust the size of the image to fit the rectangle so all the cards would be uniform.) Print them out on Glossy Photo paper Cut out the cards It was a lot of fun and a great way to incorporate family history in to daily activities. I think when we do that it makes family history more of a natural part of our kid's lives. Dot also mentioned to me that she found an app for her iPad called Match. (Update: this app appears to be discontinued. Try Match the Memory at )  And the other fun things I did this weekend was watch a movie called Play the Game. My daughter Hannah told me about it and set it up in my Netflix Instant Queue when she was here over the holidays, and we finally got a chance to sit down and watch it. If you're looking for a Valentine's movie to watch with your sweetie, this is it. It is a little independent film from 2008 starring one of my all-time favorites – Andy Griffith. It's about the relationship between a young man and his grandfather, and how they coach each other through their love lives. It's funny, and sweet, and that's very refreshing. You can check it out at the movie's website called     GEM: 50 Fabulous Family History Favorites Free ChartsGenealogy charts in one form or another have been around since people started keeping track of their family history. And even with all the technology we have today, sometimes there is just no substitute for a paper chart to help you work through the complicated relationships in your family tree. My first favorite gems are in the chart category, free charts that you can use online and offline to help you keep things organized, as well as help you share your family tree with others.   26. About Genealogy View, download, save and print free family tree charts and forms including U.S. Census Extraction forms.

This next group of favorites is what I consider to be some of the best:   31. “Writer Nick and his wife Emily are expecting their first child. When a necessary home repair proves too costly to afford, Nick must swallow his pride and visit his father, a proud immigrant stonemason with whom he has a difficult relationship, and ask him to do the work. Confronting the issues of religious and family tradition which have separated father and son causes Nick and Emily to reevaluate their lives and the things they value most.” Starring the incredible Judy Holliday who you'll remember from the original version of the movie Born Yesterday, and Richard Conte   32. Sweet Land The Movie website: When Lars Torvik's grandmother Inge dies in 2004, he is faced with a decision – sell the family farm on which she lived since 1920, or cling to the legacy of the land. Seeking advice, he turns to the memory of Inge and the stories that she had passed on to him. The movie is based on Will Weaver's short story A Gravestone Made of Wheat and shot on location in Southern Minnesota. 33. The Emigrants Starring Max Von Sydow. In episode 24 I mentioned the book which was made into a movie.  (Swedish: Utvandrarna) “The Emigrants” is a 1971 Swedish film directed by Jan Troell. It tells the story of a Swedish group who emigrate from Småland, Sweden to Minnesota in the 19th century. The film follows the hardship of the group in Sweden and on the trip. The film is based on the first two novels of The Emigrants suite by Vilhelm Moberg: The Emigrants and Unto a Good Land.”   34. (British title The Anatolian Smile) A 1963 American dramatic film directed, produced and written by Elia Kazan, from his own book. In this tale, loosely based upon the life of Kazan's uncle. Turner Classic Movies has started showing it occasionally, so check their schedule.   Conferences and Events One question I get asked a lot is about conferences. Most folks don't have the time or money to attend them all, and I often get asked, if I could go to just one which would it be? Well, first and foremost it's the one that has the kind of classes you are looking for  for your particular research, but I do have some overall opinions on conferences that I think you really can't go wrong with. 37.   38.

The Theatre Guild On The Air - The theatrical society in U.S.A. is termed as Theatre Guild. Founded in New York City in 1918 by Lawrence Langner (1890-1962) and others, the group proposed to produce high-quality, noncommercial plays. Its board of directors shared responsibility for choice of plays, management, and production. After the premiere of George Bernard Shawâs Heartbreak House in 1920, the Guild became his U.S. agent and staged 15 of his plays. It also produced successful plays by Eugene OâNeill, Maxwell Anderson, and Robert Sherwood and featured actors such as the Lunts and Helen Hayes. It helped develop the American musical by staging Porgy and Bess (1935), Oklahoma! (1943), and Carousel (1945); later also producing the radio series Theatre Guild on the Air (1945-53) and even presented plays on television.THIS EPISODE:February 24, 1946. ABC network. "Dead End".

The first two seasons of General Electric Theater established the half-hour anthology format of adaptations of popular plays, short stories, novels, magazine fiction and motion pictures. "The Eye of the Beholder," for example, a Hitchcock-like telefilm thriller starring Richard Conte and Martha Vickers, dramatized an artist's relationship with his model from differing, sometimes disturbing psychological perspectives. The addition of Ronald Reagan as program host commencing the third season 26 September 1954 reflected GE's decision to pursue a campaign of continuous, consistent company voice advertising. The Reagan role of program host and occasional guest star brought needed continuity to disparate anthology offerings. The casting of Don Herbert of TV's Watch Mr. Wizard fame in the role of "General Electric Progress Reporter" established a clear-cut company identity for commercials. "Outstanding entertainment" became the watchword of GE's public and employee relations specialists. Reagan, in the employ of BBDO, helped merchandise the concept within the company itself. The first of many promotional tours orchestrated by BBDO and the GE Department of Public Relations Services sent Reagan to twelve GE plant cities in November 1954 to promote the program idea, further his identity as spokesman, and become familiar with company people and products.

Wyatt Earp Frontier Marshall starring Richard Conte is a selection from THE HALLMARK PLAYHOUSE which was heard over CBS stations on Thursday evenings sponsored by, of course, Hallmark Greeting Cards.
