Stephen Soderberg's third movie is the marquee release this week, King of the Hill (1993), an adaptation of A.E. Hotchner's memoir of being poor in Depression-era St. Louis. Also slid in here is Soderberg's fourth movie, The Underneath (1995), a remake of the Robert Siodmak's 1949 noir Criss Cross. Accompanying each is an introduction from Soderberg about how much he loathes the films, which makes it hard to like them ourselves -- though The Underneath is certainly the worse film. Ultimately we spend a lot of time wondering why Criterion bothered to put these out, particularly together, and I think came to a satisfying if bleak answer.
Original Release Date: Monday 22 June 2026 Description: There are two Carolinas in the USA. North and South. Phil is exploring both of them. So, this week's show was pre-recorded quite a few days earlier than usual. In it, Dean and Phil discuss The Actor's Gang, a well-respected theater company and training ground for talented performers (like their pal, Steve Benaquist). Dean and Phil continue to talk about the late, great artist David Hockney, his love of smoking, and the ways in which he taught the world to think of Los Angeles, namely as it pertains to light. Light and its interplay with shadows is absolutely top of mind for your friends in podcasting and they go deep into film noir, talking about such great actors as George Raft, Humphrey Bogart, Burt Lancaster, Edmond O'Brien, and Edward G. Robinson, and such great directors of noir as Fritz Lang and Robert Siodmak. The movies They Drive by Night, The Killers and Scarlet Street all get appraised. Finally, Phil holds court about the 1980 neo-noir The First Deadly Sin, which was the final motion picture produced by Frank Sinatra, and the final lead performance for Sinatra as an actor. It was supposed to have been directed by Roman Polanski, which has Phil asking, “What if it had been?” He also suggests another young director (at the time) who would have been a better choice than the film's eventual director, Brian G. Hutton. Nevertheless, Hutton did director a couple of Dean's favorite movies, so Phil shares the quite interesting details of Hutton's career.
I've got another multi-movie episode here in the 732nd edition of Have You Ever Seen. Jacques Tourneur directs Out Of The Past and Robert Siodmak is at the helm of The Spiral Staircase, even if it feels at times like one directed the other. Yet they both do a very good job with these films noir, including killing off many of their characters. Rhonda Fleming is in both, but in Past you've got Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas & Jane Greer, who gives one of the better performances in the history of femmes fatale. In Staircase, Dorothy McGuire, George Brent and Ethel Barrymore have centre stage...and they all deliver too. The first flick has a VERY complex plot, while the second is a straight-forward "a killer is on the loose" whodunit. So lend me 50 minutes of your time as I scoop out the innards of Out Of The Past and The Spiral Staircase.

Character actor extraordinaire Edmond O'Brien's insurance investigator is actually the focus in Robert Siodmak's The Killers, but Burt Lancaster is quite powerful in his big-screen debut. And then there's the stunning Ava Gardner as the devious femme fatale. The entire cast is solid, the story is layered in its flashback structure (which is similar to Citizen Kane), plus, the main insurance-claim storyline is similar to what happens in Double Indemnity. And it all works really well. So steal money from your fellow thieves as the 712th podcast on Have You Ever Seen looks at the sinister intrigue and sudden violence in The Killers. Well, Actually: at the 41:00 minute mark, the line should have been "co-starring a WOMAN who doesn't love the main character."

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into The Killers (1946), the classic film noir starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner, as we review its Criterion Collection release. We break down what makes Robert Siodmak's adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway story a cornerstone of film noir, from its fatalistic tone and fractured structure to its iconic performances and lasting influence on the genre. We also share brief thoughts on the 1964 version of The Killers, discussing how it differs in style and approach without turning the episode into a full comparison. A must-listen for noir fans and Criterion collectors alike.Oh Brother Podcast: Support the Show!

Ernest Hemingway's short story The Killers was memorably adapted and expanded for the big screen by director Robert Siodmak and an incredible cast. We'll hear the stars of that film - plus a radio recreation - as our "Noirvember" series continues. Ava Gardner slows down for a hitchhiker with murder on his mind in "Lady in Distress" (originally aired on CBS on May 1, 1947). Edmond O'Brien is a streetwise reporter out for the story of the year in "The Argyle Album" (originally aired on CBS on September 4, 1947). Burt Lancaster is in no hurry to get revenge for his brother in "The Long Wait" (originally aired on CBS on November 24, 1949). And the titular killers William Conrad and Charles McGraw reunite in "Two for the Road" (originally aired on CBS on November 9, 1958). Finally, Burt Lancaster reprises his role as The Screen Director's Playhouse presents "The Killers" (originally aired on NBC on June 5, 1949).

This week The Shiver Show brings you The Killers, a 1949 episode from NBC Theatre / Screen Directors' Playhouse.Based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway, and directed for radio by Robert Siodmak, this production features Burt Lancaster reprising his film role, Shelley Winters as femme fatale, Kitty, and William Conrad as crime boss, Jim Colefax. Tense and raw with moral ambiguity, The Killers tells the story of two hit men sent to execute a prizefighter known as “the Swede” who chooses not to run—and the consequences of that choice. With Hemingway's economical style and Siodmak's direction, The Killers is a stark, noir drama.So put on your snap-brim fedora, pour yourself a whiskey, and let The Shiver Show take you down a long, dark alley with The Killers.

In 1989, Steven Soderbergh was on top of the world. By 1995, he was underneath...THE UNDERNEATH, that is! We're talking Sodie's very loose remake of the 1949 Robert Siodmak film noir CRISS-CROSS (and the 1934 novel on which it was based), noir in the 1990s, armored cars, and Soderbergh's evolving film language as he becomes the director we all know and love.

In 1944's Christmas Holiday, Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly, both known for their achievements in musical comedies, were cast against type as a lounge singer with a sordid past and her abusive husband respectively. Audiences seemed to be ready for the change as Christmas Holiday, directed by stylist Robert Siodmak and based on a W. Somerset Maugham story, quickly became one of Universal's most successful films of 1944. Dan and Vicky discuss the offbeat and melancholy Christmas movie along with their feelings on some recently seen movies and TV including The First Omen, Monkey Man, Zone of Interest, Beau is Afraid and Netflix's Dick Wolf docu-series Homicide New York.

It goes without saying that there's gonna be some dangerous dames all March for our noir month we've dubbed THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR. Today's feature has a lady that is so stunning, so femme fatale, that she's got Burt Lancaster's bisexual ass simping to the grave. I mean, this dude did time for this lady by taking the fall for her while she was sitting at a table with her actual boyfriend. It's really not clear if he ever got to second base. Either way, the Swede is dead, and who else but an insurance guy is gonna piece this puzzle together? We're talking Robert Siodmak's 1947 adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway story “THE KILLERS” starring a sad-ass Burt Lancaster, a knockout Ava Gardner and Edmund O'Brien who ain't a bad little piece of chicken in his own right.

We're gonna kill a Swede.”The Killers: Dissecting a Landmark NoirRobert Siodmak's 1946 crime drama The Killers earned four Oscar nominations at the 19th Academy Awards, including Best Director for Siodmak and Best Adapted Screenplay. The influential film noir also marked the screen debut of Hollywood legend Burt Lancaster. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our series on the 1947 Academy Award Best Writing, Screenplay nominees with an in-depth discussion about Siodmak's 1946 film The Killers.Behind the Stylish Noir LensBased on Ernest Hemingway's 1927 short story, The Killers greatly expands the sparse source material into a complex, nonlinear narrative involving murder, robbery and betrayal. Director Siodmak utilizes creative camera angles and lighting techniques to craft a visually stunning noir landscape. Cinematographer Woody Bredell's high-contrast, shadowy aesthetic defines the classic film noir look and feel. Lancaster shines in his first on-screen role as Ole “The Swede” Anderson, a washed-up boxer mixed up in a criminal underworld scheme. His powerful performance launched the charismatic new star to fame. Ava Gardner embodies the femme fatale archetype as the alluring but dangerous siren Kitty Collins.Standout Elements of This Influential Crime Drama The opening 12 minutes closely follow Hemingway's original story before transitioning into a complex, nonlinear narrative structure, utilizing flashbacks from multiple perspectives to unravel the central mystery. We discuss the extended single-take heist scene, staged with incredible choreography and camerawork, as a prime example of Siodmak's skilled direction. Miklós Rózsa's propulsive, jazz-inspired score sets the ominous, moody tone throughout the shadowy proceedings. We debate whether splitting the protagonist role (the Swede) from the main character (the insurance investigator) dilutes the hard-boiled noir narrative. It's a great film with much to dissect, so check it out then tune in.

Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our series on the 1947 Academy Award Best Writing, Screenplay nominees with an in-depth discussion about Siodmak's 1946 film The Killers.Behind the Stylish Noir LensBased on Ernest Hemingway's 1927 short story, The Killers greatly expands the sparse source material into a complex, nonlinear narrative involving murder, robbery and betrayal. Director Siodmak utilizes creative camera angles and lighting techniques to craft a visually stunning noir landscape. Cinematographer Woody Bredell's high-contrast, shadowy aesthetic defines the classic film noir look and feel. Lancaster shines in his first on-screen role as Ole “The Swede” Anderson, a washed-up boxer mixed up in a criminal underworld scheme. His powerful performance launched the charismatic new star to fame. Ava Gardner embodies the femme fatale archetype as the alluring but dangerous siren Kitty Collins.Standout Elements of This Influential Crime Drama The opening 12 minutes closely follow Hemingway's original story before transitioning into a complex, nonlinear narrative structure, utilizing flashbacks from multiple perspectives to unravel the central mystery. We discuss the extended single-take heist scene, staged with incredible choreography and camerawork, as a prime example of Siodmak's skilled direction. Miklós Rózsa's propulsive, jazz-inspired score sets the ominous, moody tone throughout the shadowy proceedings. We debate whether splitting the protagonist role (the Swede) from the main character (the insurance investigator) dilutes the hard-boiled noir narrative. It's a great film with much to dissect, so check it out then tune in.

Universal 1943 is a strange one, starting with The Strange Death of Adolph Hitler, starring Ludwig Donath as a reluctant Nazi collaborator who's forced to impersonate Hitler, and continuing with Robert Siodmak's Son of Dracula, with Lon Chaney Jr. as a hapless Dracula who falls victim to femme fatale Louise Allbritton. We discuss WWII AU scenarios, the Twilight Zone scenario of being a soul trapped in Hitler's body, and the comedy team of Frank Craven and J. Edward Bromberg as a down-to-earth doctor and sub-Van Helsing forced to confront supernatural shenanigans and, worse, a wayward woman with a plan.

Book Vs. Movie: The KillersThe 1927 Ernest Hemingway Short Story Vs. the 1946 Classic FilmThe Margos are discussing Ernest Hemingway for the first time on the podcast after nine years of producing, which is shocking! His 1927 short story, The Killers, was first published in 1927 for Scribner's Magazine and is a return of his character Nick Adams who appears in several short stories. Set in Summit, Illinois, Adams has to deal with a couple of hitmen looking to take out a boxer named “Ole Anderson.” A Swedish heavyweight fighter being warned about impending doom decides to let fate take over. Like many of his peers, Hemingway detested the Hollywood versions of his work that were sanitized due to the Hays Code. In the 1946 adaptation, director Robert Siodmak and screenwriter Anthony Veiller give us more background on “The Swede” and his life after his boxing career ended. So what are the main differences between the short story and the film? Which version did the Margos like better?

Citizen Kane isn't the only film in which the lead character dies in the beginning and sets an audience in pursuit of what to make of his final moments. Mike and Dan talk about The Killers (1946), Robert Siodmak's adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's short story and a terrific noir, right down to the clackety-clack shoes. As a reformed English major, Mike talks about the "gimmick" of the film but also how that gimmick is easily defeated by Ava Gardner standing at the piano. Dan brings in John Donne, Dylan Thomas, and a man at a gas station. John Wick makes an appearance, too. So throw that broch in the soup and give it a listen! Interested in the source material?

Está na hora de dar sequência ao ano do Film Noir no Podcast Filmes Clássicos: Fred e Alexandre convocam os dois produtores do “Podcast Cinemaventura”, Marcos Damiani e Leandro Tonello, para debater a obra de Robert Siodmak. Desta vez escolhemos como destaque dois grandes filmes do alemão nos Estados Unidos, “Assassinos” (The Killers, 1946) e “Baixeza” (Criss Cross, 1949), mas não deixamos de conversar também sobre outros film noir interessantes de Siodmak, como “Dúvida” (The Suspect, 1944), “Silêncio nas Trevas” (The Spiral Staircase, 1946) e “Uma Vida Marcada” (Cry of The City, 1948). Um dos diretores mais importantes do subgênero policial, Siodmak chegou nos EUA fugindo da segunda guerra na Europa e como muitos de seus colegas, contrabandeou na bagagem um pedaço do expressionismo alemão para o cinema de Hollywood. ---------------------- Acesse nosso site: http://www.filmesclassicos.com.br Acesse nossa página no Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/podcastfilmesclassicos/ Nos procure no seu aplicativo de podcast do celular, no Spotify, YouTube, Anchor ou iTunes.
In today's episode, it is early horror with an unexpected feminist twist in 1946's The Spiral Staircase, directed by Robert Siodmak. Set in 1906, the film follows Helen (Dorothy McGuire), a woman with traumatic mutism, who cares for Mrs. Warren (Ethel Barrymore), the difficult and bedridden lady of the manor. When a serial killer begins killing off women with so-called afflictions, Helen is warned that she may be next. Adapted from Ethel Lina White's novel Some Must Watch (1933), the film takes up themes such as disability and masculinity while simultaneously challenging the notion that the modern slasher film began with Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). We're breaking it all down today with spoilers, so stay tuned. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/horror-homeroom/support
In this week's Dorothy McGuire Acteurist Oeuvre-view, two very different roles for our subject: in Elia Kazan's first film, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945), an imperfect mother in a difficult relationship with her protagonist-daughter; and in Robert Siodmak's Gothic noir, The Spiral Staircase, (1946) a mute girl targeted by a eugenicist killer. We discuss the unique qualities McGuire brings to what could be an unsympathetic role in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and the intricacies of that movie's family relationships. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we look at Set It Off, F. Gary Gray's 1996 heist movie about four women who start robbing banks together, starring Jada Pinkett and Queen Latifah.

This week we have a look at the classic film Son of Dracula as part of our march to Halloween. This is Episode #381!Son of Dracula is a 1943 American horror film directed by Robert Siodmak with a screenplay based on an original story by his brother Curt Siodmak. The film stars Lon Chaney, Jr., Louise Allbritton, Robert Paige, Evelyn Ankers, and Frank Craven. The film is set in the United States, where Count Alucard (Chaney Jr.) has just taken up residence. Katherine Caldwell (Allbritton), a student of the occult, becomes fascinated by Alucard and eventually marries him. Katherine begins to look and act strangely, leading her former romantic partner Frank Stanley (Paige) to suspect that something has happened to her. He gets help from Dr. Brewster (Craven) and psychologist Laszlo (J. Edward Bromberg) who come to the conclusion that Alucard is a vampire.The film is the third in Universal's Dracula film series following Dracula's Daughter (1936). The film was made under different circumstances than the previous two entries in the series with a new Chairman of the Board working at Universal and several horror sequels being made since the success of the film Son of Frankenstein (1939). The film was initially being written by Curt Siodmak who was later replaced by Eric Taylor. Filming began on January 7, 1943 and concluded on February 2. Few documents related to the film's production survive from studio files or trade reports.
The lads take a peek into the file cabinet to get down to the bottom of Robert Siodmak's 1950 noir The File on Thelma Jordon, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Wendell Corey.

The first attempt on Everest took place in 1922 by a British team led by George Leigh Mallory. What happened is an extraordinary story full of controversy, drama, and incident, populated by a set of larger-than-life characters straight out of an adventure novel. I spoke with Mick Conefrey about this story. Bio: For thirty years I've made documentaries for the BBC and all the major British and US channels. I've been everywhere from the Arctic to the Himalayas to Angkor Wat and written books on mountaineering and exploration. I've been lucky to have been able to film all over over the world from Cambodia to K2, from Puerto Rico to Spitsbergen. I'm particularly interested in films about exploration and mountaineering, and have filmed in the Alps, the Himalayas and Alaska. Several of my films have won international and British awards, at festivals such as Trento, Telluride, Banff and Kendal. As both a film maker and a writer, I'm fascinated by the art of narrative. I love to find good stories with complex characters dealing with even more complex situations. My definition of good drama is what happens when people are put under pressure, and exploration and mountaineering provide plenty examples of this. My heroes: John Hunt, Graham Greene, Robert Siodmak, Tom Woolfe, Alexandra David Neel, Tom Wolfe, Orson Welles, Ella Maillart, Sir Richard Burton, John Banville, Don Cherry, Lucinda Williams. My current squeezes: Jeanette Winterson, Bobby Womack, Jo Nesbo, Carla Bley.

On this episode of the Criterion CULT Film Podcast we explore the 1946 noir classic The Killers, directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Burt Lancaster and Ave Gardner. To the chopping block this week Jordan brings Drive A Crooked Road starting Mickey Rooney.
In the sixth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and filmmaker Michael Willer (of the Big Fat Gay Podcast) to discuss Robert Siodmak's gripping noir tragedy about a sucker for love and the warning fable of being seduced by the uncontrollable passion of the criminal underworld in Criss Cross (1949).
En el Berlín de entreguerras, los ciudadanos sobrellevan la semana a la espera del descanso dominical. Un grupo de amigos planea una escapada al campo, pero las cosas se complican entre ellos. Es el argumento de Los hombres del domingo ("Menschen am Sonntag", 1930, Alemania) de Robert Siodmak, con Brigitte Borchert, Christl Ehlers, Wolfganf von Waltershausen, Annie Schreyer y Erwin Splettstösser. Esta "película sin actores", como se autodenomina en sus primeros minutos, contó tras la cámara con el talento colectivo de Robert Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer, Curt Siodmak y Fred Zinnemann, así como con un joven Billy Wilder al guion. Con vocación de retrato documental, el film utilizó actores no profesionales en una historia que, no obstante, se mueve en todo momento entre la mirada puramente observacional (e improvisada) y la dramatización meticulosamente escrita.Más información de este acto
