Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de el violonchelista de los mil acentos y de cine clásico. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Matthieu y Camille Saglio en la Sala Villanos Entrevistamos a "el violonchelista de los mil acentos". Así es como llaman al virtuoso instrumentista y compositor Matthieu Saglio, al que vamos a poder ver en directo este domingo en la Sala Villanos. Músico aclamado a escala internacional que está de gira por Europa presentando su último disco "Al Alba". Un trabajo a dúo en el que la voz de su hermano Camille también protagoniza esta magnífica colección, de 14 bellas canciones, que va a publicarse el 25 de abril. Cantadas en francés, español, inglés, árabe e incluso en bambara (el idioma de Mali), abarcan diversos estilos como el jazz, el blues, la música clásica, los sonidos orientales y tradicionales y las llamadas músicas del mundo. Un disco que nos propone un viaje interior y espiritual guiado por la complicidad de estos dos hermanos y excelentes músicos, Matthieu y Camille Saglio. Tenemos la oportunidad de escuchar las canciones de "Al Alba", por adelantado y en vivo, este domingo a partir de las 19:00 en la Sala Villanos (c/ Bernardino Obregón, 18). Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre El beso de la muerte (Kiss of Death). Película estadounidense de cine negro dirigida en 1947 por Henry Hathaway y protagonizada por Víctor Mature, Richard Widmark, Brian Donlevy, Coleen Gray, Karl Malden. El delincuente de poca monta Nick Bianco es atrapado en un robo de joyas y, a pesar de las insistencias del bienintencionado fiscal D'Angelo, se niega a delatar a sus socios y va a la cárcel, con la seguridad de que su esposa e hijos estarán bien cuidados. Al enterarse de que su deprimida esposa se ha suicidado, Nick delata a sus excompañeros y obtiene la libertad condicional. Nick se vuelve a casar, consigue un trabajo y comienza una vida feliz cuando se entera de que uno de los hombres a los que delató, el asesino psicópata Tommy Udo, ha sido puesto en libertad y busca venganza contra Nick y su familia.
Operating in direct opposition to the never ending barrage of anonymous content being foisted on us by algorithmic goose-steppers — the film programmers of today are cultural rebels and excavationists entrusted with the sacred duty of helping you find your new favorite movie. The best ones even manage to turn it into an art. And Jim Healy —director of programming for the Cinematheque at the University of Madison-Wisconsin— is definitely one of the best. On this episode we talk to Jim about the upcoming 2025 Wisconsin Film Festival, 16mm, The Clash on “Fridays”, Argentinean noir, David Koepp and “Apartment Zero”, George & Linda Eastman, Steve Buscemi, Richard Widmark, working with Ben, Jim's brother Pat, “Conan The Barbarian”, the filthy mouth of Groucho Marx, and we pick the best movies about movies. Oh, yeah. It's about to get real nerdy up in here. Gabe's gonna have to wait.

EPISODE 78 - “FILM NOIR - Part 1 - WHAT IS NOIR?” - 3/10/2025 Have you ever wondered what exactly is film noir? TCM's EDDIE MULLER describes it this way: “Film Noir is all about treachery, deceit, and paranoia. You're never quite sure what is going on, who you can trust, or what dreadful pitfall waits around the corner.” This dark and twisted film genre popped up after WWII as a quiet cynicism began to creep into the national consciousness. In film noir, there is always an underbelly of darkness that comes out to play. And within the darkness, the shadows, and the neon lights, lie many stories of crime, dishonesty, adultery, murder, and mayhem. This week, we present the first in a special three-part series that delves into the darkest of genres where crooked cops, gangsters, torch singers, barflies, and other seedy character's live, love and kill. Join us as we discuss Film Noir! SHOW NOTES: Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de esta enfermedad y de cine clásico. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Enfermedad Injerto Contra Receptor (EICR) Hoy viernes 28 de febrero es el Día Mundial de las enfermedades raras. Vamos a hablar de una de ellas: la EICR, Enfermedad Injerto Contra Receptor, que afecta a casi la mitad de los pacientes trasplantados de médula ósea. España es líder en trasplantes a nivel mundial desde hace 33 años. Sólo en 2023 se realizaron aproximadamente 1.500 trasplantes alogénicos de médula ósea (de un donante diferente al receptor). Un 43% de ellos (637) de una persona no emparentada, lo que incrementa el riesgo de complicaciones. El paciente con un trasplante alogénico de médula ósea se enfrenta a momentos críticos como el diagnóstico de la neoplasia hematológica maligna (que es un tipo de cáncer), el tratamiento con quimioterapia, la incertidumbre de encontrar un donante adecuado y el trasplante como última opción curativa. La supervivencia de estos pacientes ha mejorado en los últimos años, pero un número importante sufre complicaciones post trasplante, no relacionadas con las recaídas de su enfermedad de base. La Enfermedad Injerto Contra Receptor puede ser crónica. Es una patología compleja en la que las células del donante (que se injertan) atacan a las células del receptor, provocando inflamación y fibrosis (cicatrización o engrosamiento) en múltiples tejidos y órganos. Entrevistamos al Dr. Guillermo Orti, experto en esta enfermedad y miembro del Grupo Español de Trasplante Hematopoyético y Terapia Celular (GETH). Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre El demonio del mar (Down to the Sea in Ships). Película estadounidense de 1949 dirigida por Henry Hathaway, protagonizada por Richard Widmark, Lionel Barrymore, Dean Stockwell, Paul Harvey, Berry Kroeger . A finales del siglo XIX, el capitán de un barco ballenero de Massachusetts, Bering Joy, lleva a su nieto Jed a una expedición ballenera. El viejo capitán quiere enseñar a su nieto los valores de la vida real como la honestidad, el coraje, la sabiduría, la justicia y el trabajo duro. Al mismo tiempo, el primer oficial Dan Lunceford recibe el encargo de dar clases particulares al niño en sus tareas escolares. Una pequeña competencia y rivalidad comienza cuando ambos hombres, el capitán Joy y el primer oficial Lunceford, se esfuerzan por convertirse en el modelo masculino a seguir del joven Jed. El capitán Joy puede tener la sabiduría dictada por las experiencias de su vida, pero la imaginación del joven Jed está más bien cautivada por los cuentos marineros de Dan Lunceford.

Así, el asno decide ir a Bremen, donde piensa que podrá vivir alegremente. En su camino se encuentra con un gallo con espíritu de cantautor que también ha huido al saber que iba a convertirse en caldo para su amo. Al mismo tiempo aparece un perro que ha sido expulsado por sus compañeros al ser de una raza diferente. Finalmente, se les une una gata que decide viajar por el mundo tras cansarse de las constantes burlas de los otros gatos por su ilusión de ser cantante. Este peculiar grupo se ve envuelto en diferentes aventuras que les enseñan cuestiones como la colaboración, la amistad y la importancia de hallar un propósito, incluso cuando las circunstancias parecen adversas. Entrevistamos a la actriz Renée Fischtel, que interpreta a la Gata Renata. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre Manos peligrosas (Pickup on South Street). Película estadounidense de 1953 escrita y dirigida por Samuel Fuller, interpretada por Richard Widmark, Jean Peters y Thelma Ritter. Una obra cumbre del cine negro. En un metro abarrotado, Skip McCoy roba el bolso de Candy. Entre sus pertenencias, aunque no lo sabe en ese momento, hay un trozo de microfilm de alto secreto que estaba pasando el consorte de Candy, un agente comunista. Candy descubre el paradero de la película a través de Moe Williams, un informante de la policía. Intenta seducir a McCoy para recuperar la película. No lo consigue y se enamora de él. El desesperado agente extermina a Moe y golpea salvajemente a Candy. McCoy, ahora incitado a la acción, se enfrenta al agente en una pelea particularmente brutal en un metro.

This 1948 20th Century Fox Studios Year by Year episode is a doozy, a doubleheader of psychotic lovelorn men with bad ideas in their heads. First, in Jean Negulesco's rural noir Road House, Richard Widmark's spoiled road house owner selects Ida Lupino's unlikely and unforgettable femme fatale as his reluctant assassin, and then, in Preston Sturges' black comedy Unfaithfully Yours, Rex Harrison's celebrated symphony conductor spins murderous melodramatic fantasies and faces a recalcitrant slapstick reality when he suspects his much younger wife (Linda Darnell) of cheating on him. We unpack the practically infinite riches of these colossi of studio-era filmmaking, one with and one without an auteur at the helm. Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s: ROAD HOUSE [dir.

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.” ** The 1950s was a real transitional decade for classic films. As we got further away from WW2, and the Cold War began to rise up prominently, there was a cynicism across the land that influenced the content of many Hollywood movies. Films took on a grittier, more realistic feel, and the subject matters were darker and more controversial. It was the decade that sparked masterpieces like “Sunset Boulevard,” “All About Eve,” “From Here To Eternity,” “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof,” “A Streetcar Named Desire,” “Anatomy of a Murder,” “ Strangers on a Train,” “Shane,” and “High Noon.” Listen as Steve and Nan talk about some special 1950s films that inspire them.

This Sunday's "Sunday Night Playhouse" on Vintage Classic Radio features a compelling rendition of George Orwell's "1984," originally aired on April 26th, 1953, as part of the "Theater Guild on the Air." In this episode, listeners are plunged into the stark, foreboding world of a totalitarian regime where Big Brother watches everyone and everything. Richard Widmark stars as Winston Smith, an everyman whose job at the Ministry of Truth involves altering historical records to fit the government's fabricated narrative. The drama intensifies when Winston secretly rebels against the oppressive government by starting an illicit affair with Julia, voiced by Marian Seldes. Their doomed relationship, filled with small acts of defiance, leads to tragic consequences as they are betrayed and captured by O'Brien, a government official portrayed by Alan Hewitt. O'Brien's cruel manipulation and the harrowing scenes of psychological reprogramming capture the essence of Orwell's narrative, exploring themes of surveillance, freedom, and the nature of truth. The episode expertly brings to life the chilling reality of a society where freedom is a forbidden luxury and the truth is what the Party decrees it to be. Join us for this haunting adaptation that showcases the extraordinary capabilities of radio drama to delve into the depths of human emotion and societal complexities.

We begin with “Night Beat,” where journalist Randy Stone, voiced by Frank Lovejoy, uncovers chilling truths in the episode titled “Doctor's Secret,” originally aired on August 21st, 1950.

The man you just heard was Raymond Edward Johnson. He is best-remembered for being the longtime host on Inner Sanctum Mysteries on CBS. After returning from the War, Johnson left the show to pursue more diversified acting interests. However by then, NBC had launched their own mystery program which Johnson often found himself appearing in. It was called The Molle Mystery Theater. Launched on September 7th, 1943 and sponsored by Molle Brushless Shaving Cream, Mystery Theater was hosted by Bernard Lenrow as Geoffrey Barnes, crime fiction connoisseur. Veteran radio actor Bernard Lenrow routinely read one-hundred mystery novels each year and personally selected the stories to be dramatized on the show. Molle featured '‘the best in mystery and detective fiction,” with tales running from classics by Poe, to moderns by Raymond Chandler. The trademarks were high tension and shocking endings. In July of 1944 it was pulling a rating of 9.1 Tuesdays at 9PM. Many of New York's most-famous radio actors appeared, like Richard Widmark, Elspeth Eric, Anne Seymour, and Joseph Julian.
As a contract player for Warner Brothers and Fox, Mark Stevens starred in film noir and dramas alongside the likes of Lucille Ball and Richard Widmark. But even though he was hailed as one of the most promising new stars of Hollywood, his career never really took off. We'll hear Stevens in his one and only appearance on Suspense; he plays a man who walks into the wrong house and into a murder in "Tree of Life" (originally aired on CBS on January 2, 1947). Plus, he recreates one of his screen roles as The Lux Radio Theatre presents The Dark Corner (originally aired on CBS on November 10, 1947).
This Friday's "Friday Night Noir" on Vintage Classic Radio opens with a captivating installment from "The Screen Director's Playhouse," featuring the episode "The Uninvited" starring the illustrious Ray Milland. Originally broadcast on November 18th, 1949, this episode is an adaptation of the classic supernatural mystery film directed by Lewis Allen. In the story, Ray Milland plays Roderick Fitzgerald, who, alongside his sister Pamela, discovers that their newly purchased cliff-top house in Cornwall is haunted by mysterious spirits. This chilling tale delves into themes of love and the supernatural, creating an atmospheric thriller. Alongside Milland, the episode also stars Ruth Hussey as Pamela Fitzgerald and Donald Crisp in a supporting role, with direction provided by the original film's director, Lewis Allen, lending authenticity and a cinematic flair to the radio adaptation. Following "The Uninvited," the night darkens further with "Inner Sanctum's" thrilling episode, "Study for Murder," which first aired on May 3rd, 1942. This episode weaves a macabre tale of psychology and crime, where a brilliant psychology professor uses his insights into the human mind to commit the perfect murder. As typical of "Inner Sanctum" episodes, the narrative is steeped in mystery and features a twist ending that leaves listeners questioning the nature of guilt and innocence. The cast for this episode includes Richard Widmark in a standout performance as the cunning professor, supported by a cadre of character actors from the era, which helps bring this dark story to life. Both episodes exemplify the golden age of radio with their stellar casts and engaging stories, making for a perfect evening of noir entertainment.

EPISODE 25 - “Paul Douglas: Star of the Month” - 03/04/2024 In a new feature, we are highlighting a “Star of the Month” where we will dive into the life, career, and legacy of a single performer. To kick things off in this episode, we'll be discussing the great PAUL DOUGLAS. You may not know his name, but you certainly know his face. With his somewhat craggy mug that usually sported a hang-dog look, he made a career at playing gruff, tough guys who were usually softies underneath, as he does so perfectly as LINDA DARNELL's rough-around-the-edges businessman husband in “A Letter To Three Wives” (1949).

Clement Leone stands in the war room, that is filled with many memories and mementos, at his home in Lake Heritage. He is wearing the Legion of Honor award which he received at the French Embassy in Washington D.C. (Darryl Wheeler/Gettysburg Times) This interview of Clem Leone was conducted at his home in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania by John Fenzel and his son Luke, on June 16, 2018. At the time of this interview, Clem was 94 years old. The following narrative is derived from multiple sources, detailed at the end of this post. Many of the photos of awards, models and artifacts were taken at his home. Major Clement “Clem” Leone US Army Air Force B24 Liberator Radio Operator 2nd Air Division/445th Bomb Group/700th Squadron POW - Stalag Luft IV Poland Nov. '44 – May ‘45 Clem Leone was born in Baltimore in 1924. He had two brothers and three sisters and one of his brothers served in the Merchant Marines during WW II. I asked Clem what he remembered of growing up during the Great Depression. “It was tough makin' a living. Not enough food to eat.” Clem had a step father who was a railroad telegrapher. “He made an above average salary for the time, but even so, we had to scrounge everywhere we could to get food.” Clem attended Southern High School, loved his experience, and characterized himself as a nerd. “I went there to learn and I graduated with honors.” When the war broke out Clem was 17. He wanted to enlist but his mother wouldn't let him. “When they started drafting 18 year olds she let me go.” Clem enlisted in November of '42. The Army gave him several tests to identify his skills which would then be used to determine his military occupation. Clem did well on the radio test and had he had the option of radio school or auto and truck mechanic school. Clem had already taken auto shop in high school so he figured he should learn something else and he selected radio school. Clem headed to Fort Pickett in Virginia and then to Miami Florida for basic training. At the time the Army needed radio operators so badly that they shortened his basic training and sent him to radio school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. There he spent 13 weeks having “morse code pounded into you.” Clem wanted to fly and after passing a physical for flying he went to gunnery school to learn every weapon on the aircraft. The training was primitive but creative for the time and the technology available. Next stop for Clem was Boise, Idaho where the gunners were teamed with a pilot, co-pilot, engineer and bombardier. There were a total of 10 in the crew for the B24 Liberator. The crew was sent to Sioux Falls where they practiced formation flying and Clem was assigned primary responsibility for the radio and secondary responsibility for the upper machine gun turret. In November of '43 they left for Europe. They headed for England via Brazil and then to the Ascension Islands. “The Ascension Islands were a tiny speck in the middle of the ocean. My thought right away was, the Navigator just got out of cadet training. I hope he learned his lessons.” The Navigator got them to the Ascension Islands where they had Thanksgiving dinner while they plane was serviced. They then flew to Africa and then to Tibenham, England. Clem was in the 700th Squadron and Jimmy Stewart was a pilot in the 701st Squadron. One day Jimmy Stewart needed a radio operator to go on a training flight so he could check out a new pilot. Clem volunteered. “He was very strict. You never would have guessed he was a movie star celebrity.” The crew's first flight in December '43 was a training mission to get accustomed to a new pilot. During the flight, the number 4 engine caught fire and they were able to extinguish the flames. The pilot was looking to make an emergency landing when the number 1 engine caught fire. The pilot hit the bail out button and the crew ejected. Clem didn't get out of the plane until they were at 800 feet, and he hit the ground so hard he broke his leg. All but the pilot made it out alive. On February 4th of 1944 they had their first mission that took then into Frankfurt, Germany. They loaded onto their plane, the “Wacky Donald” and headed for Germany. Clem recalled the flight was uneventful, with lots of flack but no Nazi fighter planes. They arrived at their target, dropped their bombs, and started to make their turn to head back to England. One of the planes in the formation above the Wacky Donald had one bomb stuck in its bomb bay and when it released it hit the number two engine on the Wacky Donald. Clem looked at the window to find a huge hole in the wing. This forced them to drop out of formation and head back to Tibenham at a much slower speed than the rest of the formation. The pilot ordered the crew to throw all non-essential equipment, including all but 50 rounds per machine gun, out of the bomb bay to lighten the plane to maintain their altitude. They were 5 to 6 hours from home. Clem (lower left) with his crew. Top center is Lt. Robert Blomberg, an up and comer with the 445th Bomb Group who died at the controls when his ship blew up. Others in the crew were also KIA. Notable in this team photo is the small man next to Blomberg, Lt. Donald Widmark, co-pilot and brother of future actor Richard Widmark. The co-pilot would grab a parachute and leave Blomberg behind 75 years ago today. Clem's personal rule was to stay with the ship as long as the officers did, but when he saw Widmark bail out, he said, “It was time for this guy to go.” The plane and crew limped home and didn't hit any resistance until they received heavy flack over the coast of France just before they headed over the English Channel. The plane dropped to about 4,000 feet and then received a radio transmission, “fighters at 6 o'clock.” Two ME-109 were closing on the Wacky Donald. Clem was in the upper gun turret and swung the guns around and took aim at the ME-109's. Another transmission blared “fighters at 12 o'clock.” Clem pivoted to 12 o'clock and saw a wonderful sight; two British Spitfires. “Boy, they were beautiful.” The Spitfires took out one of the Nazi planes and one of the Spitfires chased the other ME-109 back to France. The Wacky Donald continued back to their air field and Clem recalled, “The White Cliffs of Dover….man they were beautiful!”. The runway came into sight, but the excitement wasn't over. The pilot said “I have to put us into a dive to get enough speed to land. Put the landing gear into the down position and just pray they lock.” Their prayers were answered, and the pilot got them home in one piece. “None of us were hurt, but we did a lot of sweating.” With two near misses under his belt Clem flew 4 more missions into Germany and France without incident. With D-Day looming, Operation Argument was developed. The objective was sustained and heavy bombing of aviation related targets in Germany. This was also known as “Big Week”. The crew of the "Wacky Donald" received orders to bomb a ball bearing plant in Gotha Germany, 145 miles west of Dresden. “That was a long flight.” The 20 plane formation took off on February 24 '44. While making their way to the target they came under attack by the Luftwaffe using Fokker 190's. The enemy aircraft unleashed a barrage of incendiary rockets directly at the aft section of the "Wacky Donald." Clem was on the radio when he heard a tremendous explosion and saw flames begin to consume the plane. Amidst the chaos and the 200-mile-per-hour slipstream, Clem gripped the barrels of the top turret machine gun, a desperate attempt to maintain some semblance of control. He looked around and found the tail gunner dead and half hanging out of the plane and one of the waist gunners dead in his position. The other waist gunner was wounded but managed to eject. The ball turret gunner came up to escape the fire, but he had to go back and retrieve his parachute leaving Clem and the Engineer to fight the flames with the fire extinguishers. That proved to be pointless as massive amounts of hydraulic fluid fed the flames. In a moment that seemed to stretch into eternity, Clem's dire circumstances took a dramatic turn. The co-pilot climbed over Clem and exited the plane through the upper hatch and bailed out. Clem's theory was, “if the pilot or the co-pilot leaves, it's time for this boy to go.” Later Clem learned that 13 of the 20 planes in his formation were shot down. The engulfing fire reached the wing tanks, triggering a catastrophic explosion that instantly transformed the night sky. The force of the blast was so intense that it rendered Technical Sgt. Leone unconscious and propelled him clear of the disintegrating aircraft, setting him on a terrifying free-fall towards the earth below. Plummeting from an altitude of perhaps 10,000 feet, Clem was unconscious, his body hurtling down at a speed that should have guaranteed a fatal outcome upon impact. However, fate had other plans for the feisty airman. In a miraculous twist of events, Clem regained consciousness mid-fall, his face covered in blood, yet his mind startlingly clear. With death staring him in the face, he managed to summon his wits, frantically searching for the orange metal ring on his chest that stood between life and certain death. With a decisive yank, Clem pulled the ring, deploying his parachute and transitioning from a deathly free-fall to a controlled descent. Despite his injuries, including fractured ribs sustained upon impact, Clem survived the ordeal, a testament to his incredible resilience and presence of mind in the face of overwhelming adversity. This harrowing experience not only showcased Clem's indomitable spirit but also marked the beginning of an extraordinary tale of survival against all odds. Clem put on his parachute and climbed through the upper hatch. At this point the plane was still flying 240 mph and Clem had to hold on to the two upper guns to keep from blowing off. The plane was being consumed by flames and Clem was trying to decide how to exit the plane without getting caught in the spinning props or being thrown into the big double tail in the rear. “While I was contemplating what to do apparently the ship exploded because I found myself at 14,000 feet without an airplane.” Clem knew he was over enemy territory, and his mind was spinning on how to avoid capture. His chute opened without a problem and he could see below that there was a pond and he was headed straight into it. “Well wouldn't you know it, I got out of the plane safely and here I am going to land in this pond and drown because I can't swim.” Luckily, he remembered his training on how to use his cords to direct his landing. At about 8,000 feet he saw a crowd of civilians running toward him. Now he remembered being told that German civilians would kill American pilots because they were told they were gangsters. Clem made sure to pull his legs up so he wouldn't break them and instead broke three ribs and hurt his back. With the crowd rapidly approaching, Clem pulled out his sidearm to try and defend himself. He could hear them yelling, “Hollander, Hollander!” He then realized he wasn't in Germany but rather occupied Netherlands. Clem motioned them to come closer and tried to use his language card to speak Dutch but to no avail. They brought Clem to a farmhouse and gave him a slice of bread with some jelly and a drink. Clem didn't know what to expect so he gave the Dutch his firearm in case he was captured. Better the Dutch to have it than the Nazi's. Then came a knock at the door and it was a member of the German Home Guard; A Dutch citizen in a Nazi uniform who said, “you are my prisoner. For you the war is over.” Clem was led down a road by the Home Guard followed by the Dutch villagers. Clem was directed to enter a civilian camp, but the Dutch were yelling, “no, other way!” A 17 year old ran up to Clem and said “come” and he began running. Without thinking Clem took off with him. At the same time the Dutch villagers handled the guard. “They beat the daylights out of him!” They ran into the woods and took Clem to a camouflaged underground bunker just big enough for a cot and a bucket for a latrine. They told him to stay put and they would be back as soon as the Nazi's stopped looking for him. A few days later they returned with a doctor. The doctor taped his ribs and gave him some pain killers and the Dutch brought him some food. Clem was told he would have to stay put until the villagers were able to hand him off to the Dutch underground. He hid in the shelter for a week. One day he heard a truck pull up and was sure the Nazi's had finally found him. Instead, it was the Dutch underground and Clem's luck continued. The underground took him to Amsterdam where a family hid him for a while. They hid him in the attic and sometimes closets. In the evenings they took him out for walks. They were trying to arrange to get Clem into France and then over the Pyrenees Mountains into Spain and from there to England. The underground thought they had found safe passage and they took Clem and began walking south until they eventually came to a train station, and they handed Clem off to a guide to take him the rest of the way. At the train station a Nazi soldier asked him where the train was headed. Clem was dressed in civilian clothes and had identification papers that identified him as a deaf and dumb accountant from Sumatra. They chose Sumatra because of Clem's Mediterranean complexion and Sumatra was a Dutch possession. They took the train to a farmhouse in southern Holland and then walked to the border of Belgium. At the border they had to time the patrols of the Belgium border guards so they could slip across the border. Once across the border there was a truck waiting for them that took them into Antwerp. Clem was taken to a home where he was hidden for a short time until the underground felt they had another contact that could take him into France. After exchanging pleasantries, the contact started asking Clem about the name of his plane, when he was shot down and who had helped him. Clem made up stories about why he couldn't remember and gave up no information. At that point he was led to a building and was handed over to the Nazi's. After four and a half months Clem was no longer free. It was July of 1944 and he had no idea when the war would be over. I asked Clem what went through his mind at that point. He said, “I thought it was all over.” Clem was put in a prison cell with another American that had been captured, Odell Hooper from Oklahoma. They remained there for about a week until the Nazis had accumulated more Americans. They were then put on a passenger train to an interrogation center. “All that time, all my mom had was the telegram she received telling her I was shot down,” Leone said. “She didn't know whether I was dead or alive.” At the interrogation center they were put into solitary for a week. When Clem was brought before the Nazi interrogation officer he was asked for his name, rank, and serial number. The Nazi, in a very friendly manner said, “Leone. That's Italian. Aren't you fighting for the wrong side?” Clem gave then no information and was sent back to his cell. Next, they were taken by train to Stalag Luft IV located in present day Tychowo, Poland just south of the Baltic Sea. Clem remembered when they stepped off the train they saw a long line of German guards, all very young in age and holding German Shepherds. The Americans were told to run into the POW camp while the guards allowed the dogs to nip at their heels. When Clem's group made it inside the camp the resident POWs told them, “You were lucky. They usually prod you with bayonets.” “The Americans already there said we were lucky,” Leone remembered. “The captain who would prick people with bayonets had just gone on leave.” In eight months, Leone had one shower. Had him and his comrades known about the Jewish concentration camps, he admitted they probably wouldn't have gotten even the one shower so as to avoid being gassed. The camp held mainly allied air crews and most of the guards were from the Luftwaffe. There was a connection between the aircrews which made life a tiny bit more bearable. Clem was led to his cell by an elderly Nazi soldier who told him, “this won't be pleasant but its bearable and you will be able to live through it and you will be able to get to go home.” Clem was offered the opportunity to be placed in the officer's camp as an orderly, but he refused. He wanted to be with the NCO's. The POWs were warned not to cross the warning wire” that extended around the perimeter of the camp. If they stepped across it, they would be shot without warning. Beyond the warning wire there was a series of fences and barbed wire entanglements to make sure no one thought of escape. Food did exist and red Cross parcels were delivered with some regularity and had some nutrition in them. Meals consisted of raw potatoes and bread with sticks in it. Once they were given a block of cheese infested with bugs. To pass the time they walked around the perimeter of the camp, played baseball with make-shift bats and balls, and played football with a make-shift football. The guards inside the camp were elderly and unarmed. The POWs called them ferrets because they were always trying to get information from the POWs to pass along to the camp commandant. The guards in the towers and in the Commandant's barracks were armed. “They were nasty, and they all spoke perfect English.” Bartering in the camp with the guards was a big business. Cigarettes and spam carried high currency. One of the men bartered with a guard for parts to a radio which he built into a functional transistor radio which kept the POWs somewhat informed of the progress of the war. They knew the Allies were winning and that helped with morale. In January of '45 the Allies were advancing into Nazi Territory. The men at the camp could hear artillery in the distance. They thought Liberation could be not far away. The Nazi's decided to evacuate the camp to avoid the Russian troops advancing from the east. They decided to march the camp west. The sick and wounded were transported by train. On February 6, 1945, the remaining men began what would become known as the German Death March. The men were assembled in columns of 4 or 5 across and were forced to march between 5 and 20 miles each day. The men had inadequate clothing to provide them protection from one of Germany's harshest winters on record. Snow and sub-zero temperatures resulted in frost bite and the complete lack of sanitation, food or drink resulted in extreme weight loss, lice, dysentery and in some cases death. Men who could not keep up were escorted by a Nazi soldier into the woods and executed. Sometimes the men were able to sleep in barns but often they slept in open fields exposed to the elements. The march took the POWs through numerous German towns where they were distained by the German citizens who had endured prolonged and devastating Allied bombing. They threw eggs and tomatoes and tried to assault the POWs. They stole eggs for food. At one point, they collected all their cigarettes to trade with a farmer for a pig to roast. They dodged friendly fire from U.S. airplanes that had no way of knowing they were American prisoners. “Survival,” Leone said when asked what was going through his mind during the more than a year he spent in Europe. “How's this gonna end? What are they finally gonna do? Any time you don't have your freedom, I think you'd feel that way. The worst part of it as far as not having your freedom was that week in solitary.” Clem believes the march ended on May 6th, 1945. That day they woke up and found that the guards had disappeared. The POWs wondered what had happened. A short while later they heard engines and soon a British Lorry appeared carrying British soldiers. The number of men thought to have started the march was 6,000+. The total time estimated for the march was 86 days. It is believed the men covered 600+ miles as the Nazi's continually changed direction to avoid the advancing Soviet troops. It is thought that 1,300+ men perished in the harsh winter conditions. No official records were kept making it hard to get precise numbers. Despite the lack of records this forced march is often compared to the Bataan Death March. The British took the POWs clothes and burned them. They deloused the men and gave them plenty of time to take a nice hot shower. Initially they were issued small portions of rations until their digestive systems became accustomed to food again. Clem boarded the ship, The Jonathan Worth for a 13 day voyage home. When they entered New York Harbor they were greeted with pleasure boats “with gals in bikini's and some of them had records playing don't fence me in.” I asked Clem if he remembered seeing the Statute of Liberty. “Oh Yes. That was a wonderful site!” Next, they were taken to Fort Dix and were given a big steak dinner. They were permitted one phone call and Clem called his uncle to come pick him up. Clem arrived back in Baltimore and had a 60 day recuperation furlough. He looked up his high school sweetheart who had waited for him to return and they decided to get married and move to Miami where Clem was scheduled to report back for duty. They were married and before they left on their honeymoon Clem received a letter to be ready to deploy to the Pacific. Fortunately, when he returned from his honeymoon the war was over. Clem went about building his life with a keen sense for making money and advancing. He worked as an auto mechanic, then networked his way into a Pontiac dealership in the service area, became shop foreman and then went into sales and various other roles in the car business. In a chance meeting someone asked him if he had ever considered teaching auto mechanics. He had not but decided to give it a try because it had a pension. Clem ended up teaching high school auto mechanics for 22 years and was beloved by his students. He also stayed in the Army and Air Force Reserves for 33 years reaching the rank of Major. “In my opinion, there are no real heroes in a war,” Leone said from his Mount Joy home in the Lake Heritage development. “There's nothing glorious about war. It's mayhem.” Clem Leone passed away at the age of 98 on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. CLem received France's highest award, the Legion of Honor, at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., and also received the Purple Heart, the POW Award and the Dutch equivalent to the French Legion of Honor.

Since we will be covering four more Inner Sanctum films in 2024 it was suggested that I might want to acquaint podcast listeners with some of the old radio shows. I love these wonderful horror and suspense tales but most folks have never sought them out. They are quite entertaining as examples of ‘Theater of the Mind' exercises and, as I explain in my introductions, the Inner Sanctum show may have been the starting point for a horror trope that persists to this day. I have picked three interesting episodes that I think will give you a good idea of the tone the program trafficked in and there is even a performance from Boris Karloff to get us started! He is the main character in an adaptation of Poe's The Tell Tale Heart while Richard Widmark stars in the second grisly story about man's lust for immortality. The final story I chose because it fits the October season with the title A Corpse for Halloween. Enjoy! If you have any comments or suggestions thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thanks for listening and Happy Halloween!
“Of all the strange breeds that mighta come along, it was their bad luck to get me.”In the years during and after World War II, the exploits of US Navy frogmen captured the American imagination. Seeking to showcase them on the silver screen, Hollywood producers worked closely with the Navy starting in 1950 to develop the film The Frogmen. The Navy provided extensive support, training actors using real frogmen drills and equipping them with state-of-the-art gear. Filming underwater presented huge challenges with the bulky cameras of the time. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our 1952 Academy Award Best Cinematography Black-and-White Nominees series with a conversation about Lloyd Bacon's 1951 film The Frogmen.Released in 1951, The Frogmen gave audiences an unprecedented look into the adventures of these elite naval commandos – the Underwater Demolitions Team, or UDT. A major part of our conversation was about the underwater filming used extensively throughout the movie. We were impressed by how they shot underwater action, since this was brand new and innovative in 1951. While the pacing seems slow now, those scenes must have been thrilling for audiences when it first came out. We speculated that the underwater cinematography is probably why it got the Oscar nomination.We also talked a lot about the dynamic between Richard Widmark as the new commander and Dana Andrews as the chief who questions his leadership. Their contentious relationship drives much of the conflict and drama as they gradually gain mutual respect.Some key scenes stand out that represent the film's strengths to us. Disarming the live torpedo ratchets up the tension and shows Widmark's courage. The rope transfer between ships demonstrates the Navy's technical input. Planting the prank sign highlights real rivalries between units. And even though the final underwater fight pushes the action beyond historical truth, it's clear that it's designed for drama and emphasizes what the UDT was actually doing when the film was released.Overall, we found The Frogmen to be enjoyable but not that memorable. The underwater footage remains the main appeal today, though perhaps military fans would be more inclined to revisit it. The film could use a restoration. But Widmark's performance and the naval insight still make it worth watching. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

Their contentious relationship drives much of the conflict and drama as they gradually gain mutual respect.Some key scenes stand out that represent the film's strengths to us. Disarming the live torpedo ratchets up the tension and shows Widmark's courage. The rope transfer between ships demonstrates the Navy's technical input. Planting the prank sign highlights real rivalries between units. And even though the final underwater fight pushes the action beyond historical truth, it's clear that it's designed for drama and emphasizes what the UDT was actually doing when the film was released.Overall, we found The Frogmen to be enjoyable but not that memorable. The underwater footage remains the main appeal today, though perhaps military fans would be more inclined to revisit it. The film could use a restoration. But Widmark's performance and the naval insight still make it worth watching. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

The 532nd edition of Have You Ever Seen talks about a noir that not everyone is aware of, but they should be. Pickup On South Street crackles. Richard Widmark plays a pickpocket, but he remains an anti-hero from the start to the finish...even though crime stories are often about redemption after bad behaviour. He's got (an eventually) loyal "dame" in Jean Peters, he's got a shack right on the river and he's got a friend in sweet informer Thelma Ritter. Samuel Fuller's snappy story has a lot of political subtext, which becomes flat-out text because there are Communists all over this thing. Throw in a couple of vivid punch-ups and some obstinate cops trying to recover a microfilm and you've got a pretty great little thriller. So don't be sore. Just indulge in Ryan's one-man podcast about Fuller's Pickup On South Street.

The crew returns for a 1950s classic with so much sub action you'd be hard pressed to believe that we haven't covered this movie yet. Richard Widmark stars as Capt Adam Jones, a submarine captain piloting an international civilian force investigating potential nuclear activity at remote islands in the north Pacific. Victor Francen and Bella Darvi join the expedition as world renowned scientists
Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) depicts the trial of Nazi judges before the U.S. military tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany, following World War II. The film was directed by Stanley Kramer from a screenplay by Abbie Mann; it features a sensational cast that includes Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Maximilian Schell (who won an Oscar for best actor), Richard Widmark, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Montgomery Clift, and William Shatner. The film provides a gripping account of the “Judges' Trial” or "Justice Case" (as it has become known), exploring issues around individual and collective guilt, the challenges facing tribunals seeking to punish mass atrocities, and the quest for peace and justice after the horrors of World War II. In many respects, the film remains as relevant today as it was when it was first released. I'm joined by Professor Kevin Jon Heller, a renowned scholar of international criminal law and leading expert on the Nuremberg tribunals.

One of the most iconic production companies in the history of horror, Hammer's productions and various sequels and spin-offs of Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman and the mummy are not just beloved by generations of genre fans but have endured just as the Universal Studios monster films have and become a lauded part of cinema history. And Hammer didn't just do classic monsters! Some of their original films such as “The Devil Rides Out” and “Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter” showed that Hammer wasn't afraid to step outside their formula. Hammer also provided career-making roles for several of the genres most beloved stars with Christopher Lee's towering take on Dracula and Peter Cushing's often scene-stealing performances as Doctor Frankenstein and Van Helsing. The studio also had its share of dynamic leading ladies with legends such as Ingrid Pitt, Stephanie Beacham and Barbara Shelley. And that's barely scratching the surface. Our guest in this episode is one of Hammer's great leading ladies. And a Bond Girl. And a Scream Queen. Today we are joined by the radiant and brilliant, Caroline Munro. Caroline was one of few actors to be signed to a contract by Hammer, something that wasn't really a practice for the studio but they knew what they had with Caroline. An actor whose beauty is matched by her chops, her presence and her character. Caroline discusses her approach to the acting process, what she learned by working off screen legends such as Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Richard Widmark, the insecurity that is possessed by almost all actors and stealing scenes at the Cannes Film Festival with the great Joe Spinell. Let's bare our fangs and get ready to dance on a Sunday with Caroline Munro! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
For this month's bonus episode, I'm sharing my favorite Suspense shows starring Oscar-nominee Richard Widmark. First, he's an innocent man on the run in his bare feet in "Too Hot to Live" (originally aired on CBS on October 26, 1950). Next, Widmark plays a pitchman who has to make his biggest sale yet in order to stay alive in "Tell You Why I Shouldn't Die" (originally aired on CBS on April 30, 1951). Then, Widmark stars in the bloody true story of a Texas feud - a tale set to song - in "The Hunting of Bob Lee" (originally aired on CBS on October 29, 1951). Finally, he's a demented radio writer who plans to record a killing in "A Murderous Revision" (originally aired on CBS on December 3, 1951).
