“You are mine—body and soul!” – The Cheat (1915)This week, we're traveling back to 1915 with returning guests Amanda Rush and Jae Kim for a deep dive into Cecil B. DeMille's The Cheat. A landmark of early American cinema, The Cheat helped shape visual storytelling through its pioneering use of lighting, editing, and narrative tension. But alongside its technical innovation lies a deeply troubling legacy—particularly in its portrayal of race and power.Amanda and Jae help us unpack the film's lasting influence, Sessue Hayakawa's complex role in Hollywood history, and how The Cheat fits into the broader conversation about preserving films that reflect both the artistry and the prejudices of their time.• The Cheat (1915) was directed by Cecil B. DeMille and stars Fannie Ward and Sessue Hayakawa• Selected to the National Film Registry in 1993• Celebrated for its dramatic lighting, narrative structure, and early use of cross-cutting• Discussion topics include:• The visual legacy of The Cheat• Sessue Hayakawa's breakthrough role and its cultural implications• Representations of race and gender in early Hollywood• The importance of preserving films that capture both cinematic milestones and historical biases Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

In “It's A Wonderful Life,” BEULAH BONDI played the most loving mother to JAMES STEWART. Ma Bailey is the epitome of sweetness, kindness, and supportiveness so it's quite shocking when we meet the Ma Bailey who would have existed had George Bailey not been born. She's cold, bitter, and unkind. It gives Bondi the wonderful opportunity to play two versions of the same character, which she does flawlessly. So to celebrate Mother's Day, Nan and Steve are taking a page from Bondi's playbook as they discuss the good and bad mothers of classic cinema.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Moms in the Movies (2014), by Richard Corliss; Actresses of a Certain Character (2007), by Axel Nissen; Irene Dunne: First Lady of Hollywood (2006), by Wes D.

It may have all the aesthetics of a big, burly action epic, but don't get it twisted:  The Bridge on the River Kwai is a nuanced, character-based drama, and a philosophical rumination on the absurdities of human nature. In the end, this is a film that's unafraid to ask questions without obvious answers. We'll circle back to that in a bit. For anyone who's never experienced this cinematic milestone, let me give you the Reader's Digest version of the plot: As WWII rages, a battalion of British troops are herded into a Japanese POW camp.  As such, the camp commandant (Sessue Hayakawa) urges his captives to throw themselves into work. Conveniently, a rail bridge needs to be built across the Kwai River, thus linking Burma to Rangoon. Colonel Saito, the commander, promises the men they will be treated well, provided they complete the task on schedule.Almost instantly, a battle of wills springs up in the camp. Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness), the British commander, is aghast to learn that his officers will work manual labor alongside enlisted men. Not only is this against the Geneva Convention, it's just...uncivilized. His senior staff will do no such thing. In retaliation, Saito loads Nicholson into a hotbox, where he can broil until his spirit breaks. Only, Nicholson doesn't break, and days begin to pass. This puts Saito in an impossible situation: Does he simply give in and look weak? Or, does he risk that Nicholson dies in solitary, and possibly end up with a prisoner uprising?Meanwhile, Commander Shears (William Holden) watches this personality clash from his infirmary bed. He's a charming, shifty American, who manipulates Saito's system to ensure his own survival. If that means bribing the guards, faking illness, or digging graves for his fallen comrades, then so be it. As Nicholson goes in the cooler, Shears can only shake his head in disgust: What good is such fanatical devotion to duty if it no one lives to tell of it?The film's turning point comes when Shears makes a daring escape. Somehow, he navigates the jungle thicket, and gets rescued by Burmese civilians. They get him to a British army hospital, where he eventually gets strong enough to subsist on a diet of dry martinis and blonde nurses. Just as Shears is about to settle into this cushy existence, some British officers show up with a wacky plan. Major Warden (Jack Hawkins) proposes to lead a commando team back into the jungle to blow up the Kwai River bridge. As Shears recently stumbled across this terrain, he would be the perfect guide. At first, the American is nonplussed at the idea of traipsing back into that humid hellhole. Still, the Brits make an offer he can't refuse, and back in they go.A moral and philosophical quandary emerges when Nicholson overcorrects in the name of his troops' morale and safety. He resolves to construct the bridge as an enduring monument to British precision, thus ensuring his men will survive the war. As Clipton points out, Nicholson's sudden exuberance and perfectionism borders on treason. Still the colonel responds with a shrug: If they have no choice, why not give it their all?On a cinematic level, Kwai is a masterpiece on every front. Lean would begin a stretch of ambitious, masterful films (Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago would follow) that would feature many of the same hallmarks as this one: Lush cinematography (Jack Hildyard would win the Oscar), memorable music (ditto Malcolm Arnold, who would score a hit with "Colonel Bogey March), and legendary performances. Holden is perfectly cast as the casual, carousing Shears, who slowly runs out of angles to work. Donald, who would also memorably play another POW in The Great Escape, is also outstanding as the perpetually exasperated Clipton. Hayakawa gives depth to Saito, making him more than just a brutal, scowling monster. With all that said, Guinness would deservedly win the Oscar for his turn as Nicholson, a man whose pride, obsessiveness, and inflexibility point him to the same doom as Saito.Truth is, I can heap praise on Kwai for another 1000 words, but let me boil it all down for you. This is just one of those movies you have to see. Lean, working with blacklisted writers Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson, delivers an intricate masterpiece that was ahead of its time. On the surface, this looks like a straightforward war film, or maybe a thoughtful character study. Watch it a few more times, and you'll see that it's actually a lot more than either of those things.161 min. PG. AMC+.

Episode 54: THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI Take a trip with us to Southeast Asia in the midst of World War II, as a British Colonel faces off against his Japanese captor in David Lean's adventure epic The Bridge on the River Kwai. Released in 1957, the film tells the story of Col. Nicholson and Col. Saito, two head strong men who butt heads as the British Prisoners of War are forced to build a rail bridge over the Kwai River. There's also an American, Shears, who reluctantly joins a commando squad to hike through the jungle to blow up the bridge. Starring Alec Guiness, William Holden, and Sessue Hayakawa, The Bridge on the River Kwai racked up seven Oscars (TM), including Best Picture. It ranks #16 on our countdown.* Be sure to look out for us again next week for a discussion of Annie Hall. Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.

MNAM welcomes its first repeat guest, writer and filmmaker Alex Kavutskiy, who returns to discuss David Lean's World War II epic THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI starring William Holden, Alec Guinness and Sessue Hayakawa. The 1958 film concerns a British Lt. Colonel held in captivity as a prisoner of war by Japanese forces, and his obsessive need to finish a railway bridge connecting Bangkok and Rangoon. THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI was an unqualified success upon release, topping the 1957 box office and sweeping that year's Academy Awards, but on MNAM it will have to compete against all nine Saw movies for attention. Don't miss this in-depth discussion into one of Lean's crowning achievements, plus notable diversions into Michael Clayton, Saw, Shoah, The Office, Saw VI, Marry Me, roadtrip podcasts, Spiral: From the Book of Saw, and much much more. THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Ryan and Dylan discuss some of the greatest epic's in British cinema history, David Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago.

El Ferrocarril Tailandia-Birmania construido con mano de obra esclava, fue la base del libro de Pierre Boulle en el que se basó esta super-producción dirigida por David Lean y protagonizada por William Holden, Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins y Sessue Hayakawa . Podemos decir que esta película fue la que dio el pistoletazo de salida a las grandes películas clásicas del Cine Bélico. El trasfondo histórico fue terrible, donde se piensa que murieron 90 000 trabajadores asiáticos y 16 000 prisioneros de guerra. Como siempre, primero la parte cinéfila con 📽️ Imanol López , y en la segunda parte la histórica con👨‍🚀 Dani CArAn.

A deep dive and reminiscence of the David Lean classic World War II thriller BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, starring Alec Guiness, William Holden, Jack Hawkins, Sessue Hayakawa and James Donald. ***Warning...SPOILERS*** --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This episode is dedicated to the 1957 war film The Bridge On The River Kwai directed by David Lean starring William Holden, Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins and Sessue Hayakawa. There will be spoilers!

Welcome to Episode 60! Sessue Hayakawa was one of the first Hollywood heartthrobs, but he was also a villain. The exotic way he was cast was indicative of the Yellow Peril driven Asian villain trope. From Fu Manchu to Ming the Merciless to so many others, Asians are often the villain in Hollywood created TV and films. In this episode, we talk about the history of those two key villains as well as the characteristics of the exotic, evil Asian mastermind. We also take time to share our Thanksgiving highlights and celebrate the Grammy Nominees of Asian Pacific Islander descent. We love hearing from all of you. Which APIDA musician do you want to win a Grammy? Are there any Asian villains you'd like to learn the history of? Let us know!

Comedians Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds examine actor Sessue HayakawaSourcesTour DatesRedbubble Merch

Original Air Date: Monday 25 May, 9 pm EasternDescription:Phil Leirness is joined by music journalist (and friend of the show) Yoshi Kato, who briefly fills in for a tardy Dean Haglund, to discuss the lives and legacies of six notables from the world of music in "Celebrity Deaths", as well as to set the table concerning a later discussion of Asian Pacific American Heritage month and the 1961 film Flower Drum Song. Dean then arrives just in time to remember a prolific character actor, the decorated police officer who played Eddie Haskell on TV's "Leave it to Beaver", and the great Fred Willard. Dean and Phil then answer an email from a loyal listener about an upcoming Michael Bay film set in the world of Covid-19. This leads to a fascinating discussion and argument before attention is turned to the ramping up of film and TV production and the announcement that the Venice Film Festival will go ahead as planned this September. Dean then sings the praises of two different television series, Phil sings the praises of two classic movies about gambling. Then the conversation turns to the careers of Sessue Hayakawa, one of the first heartthrobs of the silver screen, the hilarious and brilliant Jack Soo, and the tragically overlooked Reiko Sato.

Amy and Paul cross 1957's David Lean WWII epic The Bridge On The River Kwai! They explore the career of star Sessue Hayakawa, ask why Lean's tyrannical methods pop up so often in the AFI 100, and compare the film to author Pierre Boulle's other famous work "Planet Of The Apes."

Although Asian men have existed in Western cinema since Sessue Hayakawa in the silent era, they have often been maligned as geeks, Fu Manchus – and sometimes annoying neighbors in yellowface. The Rebeccas trace the lineage of Asian male actors in Hollywood, from Bruce Lee’s enduring (and even posthumous) struggle to be taken seriously as a leading man to the long-awaited present era, where Asian men are finally breaking through as romantic leads and even superheroes. “Last Christmas” star Henry Golding joins us to share his own journey of becoming an Asian leading man and the responsibilities that entails.”Hollywood Remixed” is a topical, diversity-focused podcast from The Hollywood Reporter, hosted by Rebecca Sun and Rebecca Ford. Each episode will be dedicated to a single theme – a type of character or story that has been traditionally underrepresented or misrepresented in pop culture – and feature a special guest whose latest work exemplifies a new breakthrough in representation. We’ll revisit groundbreaking classics and introduce listeners to hidden gems, in order to better understand how film and television in the past has shaped progress in the present. Hosted by: Rebecca Ford and Rebecca SunProduced by: Matthew Whitehurst and Joshua Farnham

I was told back in college that Sessue Hayakawa was the first Asian male to appear as a sex symbol in Holywood for his role in "The Cheat," a 1915 silent film. I just watched "The Cheat" and holy fucking shit, it's racist. It might not appear that way explicitly, but if you read between the VERY well established lines, it's hard to miss the blatant racism, sexism, and dog whistling. I was told that "The Cheat" was supposed to be some landmark film that broke barriers and made Asians look good. Instead, it did the complete opposite. I was wrong all along. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/WokeFu/support

This movie features the great Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong, Japanese silent film actor Sessue Hayakawa, and Swedish Warner Oland as Fu Manchu. Wong is reminiscent of Norma Desmond as she works her hands while speaking. Take the time to watch this wonderful pre-code film, Daughter of the Dragon (1931).  SPREAD THE WORD!

This week, we go way back in history, almost 100 years ago to 1919 and a silent film called The Dragon Painter, starring Sessue Hayakawa and his wife Tsuru Aoki. Hayakawa was a star rivaling Charlie Chaplin in the Silent Era, and after being tired of the villainous Japanese roles that were written for him in Hollywood, he created his own production company to make his own movies. The Dragon Painter was restored in 1988 and added to the National Film Registry in 2014. Ada and Brian talk about their quest to find an old school Asian American romance, which led them on a detour through an Anna May Wong and Philip Ahn crime film -- and how Sessue Hayakawa, the biggest Asian American star of all time, is kind of like Randall Park. Saturday School is a podcast where we teach your unwilling children about Asian American pop culture history. Season 2 explores Asian American romance in film.
