In this haunting episode of Scene Missing, we dive deep into Charles Laughton's singular directorial masterpiece, The Night of the Hunter (1955). From its expressionist visual style to Robert Mitchum's chilling performance as the murderous preacher Harry Powell, we break down what makes this Southern Gothic thriller a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.We explore the film's dreamlike atmosphere, the fairy tale overtones, and how it slipped through the cracks in its time — only to be recognized decades later as one of the most influential American films ever made. Join us as we unpack its themes of good vs. evil, childhood innocence, and religious hypocrisy, all framed by some of the most striking black-and-white cinematography ever put on screen.

June 6, 1944 - a day history will never forget. After taking much of mainland Europe, wrecking havoc on civilian populations and propgating the largest genocide in history, Nazi Germany thinks itself nigh invincible. But on that stormy day in an area of France no one could contemplate, the biggest mililtary invasion in modern warfare changed the course of the war and the very future of planet Earth. John Wayne was also there (in spirit). Next week: escape! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Click here to try it out!This week we celebrate the late, great Robert Redford the Bad Dads way: with a chaotic Top 5 Roberts and a deep dive into All the President's Men — the newsroom thriller where Redford and Dustin Hoffman painstakingly peel back Watergate until the whole presidency caves in. It's cigarettes, typewriters, and journalism that actually mattered.What we get intoRedford & Hoffman, peak charisma: why their odd-couple energy (and immaculate 70s fits) makes procedural journalism feel electric.The craft stuff: split-diopter shots, sound design that drowns phone calls in newsroom chaos, and that final typewriter barrage (“Nixon Resigns”) still landing like a gut punch.Truth vs. proof: editors wrestling with “we know it” versus “we can print it,” and why that tension hits even harder now.Deep Throat decoded: “follow the money,” the parking-garage paranoia, and how the film weaponises quiet dread.Top 5 Roberts (no De Niro, no Redford — house rules)We raid film, TV, music and pop culture for the best Bobs/Roberts/Robbies—from Sideshow Bob and Robert Englund to Robert Mitchum, Rob Reiner, Bob Odenkirk, Robert “Bob with bitch tits” Paulson, SpongeBob (Robert) Squarepants, and some gloriously fringe picks (RIP Rob Garrison, Cobra Kai's OG goon). Expect arguments, deep cuts, and at least one guided detour through Spinal Tap and King Crimson.The chaotic quiz: Redford or Red Ford (…or both)?Sidey springs a quiz where every answer is either Redford (the man) or red Ford (the car on screen). Cue confusion, Christine vs Cars, The Sting, All Is Lost, and a tricksy Winter Soldier “both” that broke brains and buzzers.Content note: swearing, savage tangents, and the occasional anatomical overshare. If you came for “balanced coverage,” you've wildly misread the brand.
Stewart, Rastislav and Ken are back to review Clint Eastwood's 2021 neo-western Cry Macho. This film had a lengthy development journey; the late N. Richard Nash originally intended this as a screenplay, but retooled it into a novel published in 1975. There were several attempts to bring it to the screen with potential leading men such as Eastwood, Robert Mitchum, Roy Scheider and even Arnold Schwarzenegger! It was finally realized with Eastwood pulling double duty in the lead role and in the director's chair.Mike Milo is a retired rodeo and ranch hand who was fired by his old boss and ranch owner for what appears as Mike ‘being too old'. A year later he is approached by his old boss to journey into Mexico to retrieve the ranch owners son from his delinquent mother and bring him back to the US. Along the way they meet some interesting people and create a bond with each other and the boys rooster named ‘Macho'.Stewart enjoyed the easygoing wholesomeness of this film, but Rastislav and Ken felt the story and character development were half-baked in comparison to other Eastwood films such as Unforgiven and Gran Torino. They all appreciated the cinematography, music and production design.There were other bright spots including some of the incidental characters (to Rastislav's amusement) and the song “Find a New Home” written by the film's composer Mark Mancina and performed by Will Bannister.Written by Nick Schenk and N. Richard Nash (based on Nash's novel) and directed by Clint Eastwood. Starring Eastwood as Mike, Eduardo Minett as Rafo, Dwight Yoakam as Howard, Natalia Traven as Marta and Fernanda Urrejola as Leta.Film Rating: PG This is a public episode.

The incorrect file was uploaded yesterday, 9/18. This is the corrected file. Sorry for any confusion.Devin & James are back in the Den! And we're celebrating more 50th anniversaries for the iconic year of 1975. This time we're covering 1975's TOUGH GUY MOVIES! Ranging from over-the-top action to gritty neo-noir, some of our greatest movie stars of the era were busy making this year one of the best for being a badass. We start by taking a swing at Charles Bronson and James Coburn in the criminally underrated HARD TIMES. Then we dive into messy pro-killers James Caan and Robert Duvall in THE KILLER ELITE. Then it's off to Japan with Robert Mitchum in THE YAKUZA. We continue our globetrotting in England with a different kind of Duke, John Wayne in BRANNIGAN. The travel vibe continues as we climb the treacherous "Murder Wall" in Switzerland with Clint Eastwood in THE EIGER SANCTION. Then we return to Los Angeles for the underappreciated Burt Reynolds' dark neo-noir, HUSTLE. After that, we keep on truckin' with Jan Michael Vincent in WHITE LINE FEVER. We finish off with a short bit covering a couple of oddballs, even amongst this bunch: Joe Don Baker (RIP) as MITCHELL, and Paul Newman in THE DROWNING POOL. And that's only a handful of the tough guy movies released this year! Join us for a discussion on some of the best "Lazy Sunday" watches you could ever find.

The West Virginia Penitentiary at Moundsville – The Mountain State's First Prison. Though often called The Moundsville Prison, Its formal name is The West Virginia Penitentiary, and its history is long, perhaps too long. After West Virginia gained statehood in 1863, it took Governor Arthur Boreman three years to convince the legislature to build a prison for the state. The location was selected in Moundsville, along the Ohio River, 12 miles south of Wheeling, the state capital at the time.Architect Joseph S. Fairfax's prison design imitated the newly completed prison in Joliet, Illinois, using Gothic Revival architecture with castle-like turrets and a crenellated façade. The structure, built by prison labor, used the Auburn Plan, with barred cells stacked on top of each other. The first completed portion contained cells for 840 men and 32 women, while the rest of the facility remained under construction. Prisoners were put to work making brooms, soap, clothing, license plates and even working in a nearby coal mine. Despite this industriousness, prisons are dark places with tragic histories. The darkest aspect of this prison was the exercise of the death penalty where 94 men were executed at the prison, first by hanging and later by electrocution, between 1899 and 1959. This ended when West Virginia became the 6th state to eliminate capital punishment in 1965. Though women were moved to a new prison, overcrowding at Moundsville was a constant problem. There were deadly riots in 1973, ‘79, and in 1986, the same year the state Supreme Court ruled that a 5' X 7' prison cell was excessive punishment. Inmates were moved to new facilities by 1995, and the City of Moundsville uses the prison for police training and offers tours. Along with its use in movies starring the likes of Robert Mitchum, Jimmy Stewart, and Christian Bale, the prison is infamous as a haunted location and is popular with ghost hunters, reflecting its brutal 120-year history, where antiquated 19th-century ideals of incarceration overstayed their welcome.
In this episode of our Gloria Grahame Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode, our protagonist is rudely shoved into the background of the movies, barely appearing in Josef von Sternberg's Macao (1950) (she would have liked to have appeared in it even less) and playing a rote schemer in David Miller's Sudden Fear (1952). The movies themselves don't make up for her under-use, despite the amiable pairing of Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell in the former and the great Joan Crawford sobbing her way to an Oscar nomination in the latter. We do our best to articulate what went wrong for us, before turning our attention to James Gunn's Superman (2025) in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment.

TVC 699.2: From May 2015: Blues artist, radio host, and film historian Mick Martin and Ed discuss why John Mitchum, the younger brother of Robert Mitchum, was something of a “Hard Luck Harry” until his memorable role opposite Clint Eastwood in the original Dirty Harry.

Physical Media weeks don't get much more packed this week and there is a lot to get to with Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski. Titles include a trio of youth tales involving the film that took back cheerleading, a slasher film getting a new updating soon and the infamous creation of the Brat Pack. There's a Hammer mystery, sci-fi and Peter Cushing as Doctor Who. Peter talks about a somewhat forgotten film noir with Robert Mitchum as well as a musical version of The Philadelphia Story. They look back with a bit of fondness for an innocuous spoof of singing cowboy movies plus the inaugural releases of Dreamworks. All of this is wrapped in a pair of upgrades for two films that played their Chicago Critics Film Festival including the Alex Proyas sci-fi film Roger Ebert called the best film of 1998 and the William Friedkin masterpiece lost for many years but is now immortalized in the Criterion Collection.3:45 - Criterion (Sorcerer (4K), Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould (4K))25:39 - Warner Archive (His Kind of Woman, High Society (4K))40:23 - WB (Lethal Weapon (4K Steelbook))46:59 - Kino (Rustlers' Rhapsody, The Peacemaker (4K), Mousehunt (4K), Road Trip (4K))1:20:02 - Sony (St. Elmo's Fire (4K), I Know What You Did Last Summer (4K Steelbook))1:40:18 - Shout Factory (Bring It On (4K))1:48:11 - Severin (Jack the Ripper 4K, Unknown World (4K), Total Extermination: The Peter Cushing Doctor Who Collection)2:03:19 - Arrow (Dark City (4K))2:14:17 – New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (The Monkey (4K), Novocaine (4K), A Minecraft Movie, Snow White (4K), Eephus)2:20:51 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCASTBe sure to check outChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

1947's Crossfire, directed by Edward Dmytryk, is based on the novel The Brick Foxhole by Richard Brooks. In Brooks' novel, a gay man is murdered by a soldier on leave but the film had to adhere to a Hays Code which didn't allow for depictions of homosexuality so anti-Jewish sentiment became the reason for the killing. Ironically, it was the film's theme of anti-semitism that put it's makers in the crosshairs of Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-communist HUAC hearings. It's director and writer John Paxton ended in prison for their views. The film stars the Robert dream team of Robert Ryan, Robert Young and Robert Mitchum.

I get it. You like Paul Sorvino. I like Paul Sorvino. We all like Paul Sorvino. But he is a Hall of Famer? Or is he just the guy from Goodfellas? He had a long, career. Some great, some not. Now it's time to comb through that resume and determine if he belongs in the Hall! Along the way, we'll chat about some other fun stuff like Robert Mitchum's drunken antics and the time I saw Jonathan Schaech jogging. I also, in real time, forget who directed The Shining. What the hell, Fanacek?

Send us a textFriends of EddieThe second 1x1 feature rounding out Season 14 and, chosen by Jack, the film is THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973). Directed by Peter Yates, whose career TGTPTU is unlikely to cover in a future 4x4 despite having Krull and Bullitt in his credits, TFOEC is an adaptation of George V. Higgins' inaugural novel and notable as a unromanticized depiction of crime in artistic response to The Godfather, the Puzo book and Coppola film each preceding, respectively, the book and movie versions of TFOEC by one year. Higgins would take issue with the book as his debut novel. The former deputy assistant attorney general claimed to have written and burned 14 novels over 17 years prior to TFOEC and would go on to author over 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction before his fatal heart attack in 1999, but none with the impact of his first. As seasonal guest host Jack points out, nearly all the dialogue in the film is as it is on the page, and the pages are dripping with dialogue that creates the setting and action for this ironic story of “friends” who double-cross and live less than glamorous lives as Irish mobsters and criminals in Boston. Yates populates the film with faces, faces that we don't see much anymore, distinct faces and every one telling a story, from the titular Coyle plated by Robert Mitchum who earlier in this life reluctantly left the assembly line to be an actor to actor Alex Rocco who starred as Moe Greene in The Godfather and helped Mitchum meet some of his old criminal friends whom Rocco had to leave behind after he (the actor Alex Rocco) was held for questioning in relation to the murder that kicked off the Boston Irish Gang War of the 1960s to James Tolkan before he'd lost his hair a decade prior to portraying Principal Strickland in the Back to the Future movies and Detective Hugh Lubic in the Cannon Films classic Masters of the Universe. For this episode, everyone did research: Jack and Thomas pair off for book report; Ryan covers the career of Mitchum; and Ken covers Yates and laments how now Hollywood lacks hacks as well as provides a new shaggy dog with The Pals of Charlie Brown. Make sure to wipe your prints clean on this one before listening with a friend.

“RICHARD CARLSON: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” (081) - 3/31/2025 Tall, dark-haired, and handsome, RICHARD CARLSON was always a welcomed addition to any cast. From the beginning, when he was playing preppy college students opposite LANA TURNER, to his reign in the 1950s as the King of Sci-Fi thrillers, Carlson brought believability and authority to each role but also a sense of introspective thoughtfulness. You looked into his deep blue eyes and chiseled face and believed him. Whatever he was selling, we were buying. And while he never became an A-list leading man, he enjoyed a long and steady career and enhanced many a mediocre film with his special appeal. This week, we celebrate RICHARD CARLSON as our Star of the Month.

Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!!! This week we are finishing up our "70's Neo-Noir" theme with the Robert Mitchum vehicle, Farwell, My Lovely (1975)I rather enjoyed this mostly by the books noir tale. It paid homage to many of the classics of the 40's while also providing enough quality on its own to make it worth your time! I gave this film an 8/10 for its great direction, set design, and terrific performances, espically from Mithcum.

Henry Hathaway started directing in the early 1930s and though he made movies of all genres, he was particularly associated with Westerns. This allowed him to ride out the 1960s making pretty much the same kinds of movies with the same stars (Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum) that he had been working with for decades. But shortly after the massive success of Hathaway's True Grit in 1969 – for which John Wayne won his only Oscar – the director felt he was being put out to pasture by a changing industry. His last film would be Hangup (also known as Super Dude) a work-for-hire that he claimed he took only as a favor to the producer, and which was dismissed at the time as a sop to the Blaxploitation trend - not least by Hathaway himself.

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.

When George V. Higgins's first novel, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, was published in 1970, it was widely acclaimed as an insider's look at Boston's criminal underbelly. Three years later, Peter Yates directed Robert Mitchum in one of his best performances as the mid-level gunrunner who is tempted to help “uncle” by turning in his associates to the cops. Join Mike and Dan as they talk about how Robert Mitchum eating pie is better than a thousand bank robberies and how the dialogue for which Higgins is so rightly praised is like the kind of negotiations we make all the time at work, regardless of what we're selling. Hide the irons inside that rustling shopping bag and give it a listen! If you're interested in the terrific novel upon which the film is based, you can find it here.
