When I was sixteen years old, still in high school, I had three little lines in a film called The Sniper. I hardly remembered doing it, a soda fountain scene, a telephone booth, nothing remarkable, but that tiny job paid enough to earn my membership in the Screen Actors Guild. Only years later did it strike me that the film had been produced by Stanley Kramer. He helped launch my career without ever knowing my name. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
Stanley Kramer's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) is a very fun movie and an overstuffed Criterion release. But perhaps a comedy of such epic proportions (and aspect ratios) needs an epically sized release.

HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY: MINISODE 10- OKLAHOMA CRUDE Next up on classic 60s/70s Faye, we go way back to turn of the century Oklahoma for Stanley Kramer's 1973 oil-themed dramedy Oklahoma Crude.

Send us Fan MailIt's calm seas and second helpings of strawberries this week as the TGTPTU boys cover their third of four curated Edward Dmytryk films, the multiple Oscar-nominated picture THE CAINE MUTINY (1954). Saving its then “issues” producer (and subsequent to this movie an issues director) Stanley Kramer's bacon, Dmytryk delivered a bona fide hit picture adapting the already popular book by Herman Wouk about a fictional mutiny during WWII among American seaman upon the titular Caine. Deviating from the Broadway courtroom play starring Henry Fonda (who'll show up in next week's Dmytryk film), the movie hews closer to the novel depicting on screen and in glorious Technicolor events aboard the ship leading to the mutiny, leaving the theatrical adaptation's courtroom drama for the third act. The movie would also add Yosemite National Park as a romantic getaway between its Ivy League, very mid, blonde protagonist and POV character Ensign Willie Keith played by a now relatively unknown Robert Francis who died tragically at age 25 after a plane crash and his character's fiancée May Wynn played by May Wynn who changed her stage name to that of her character on the recommendation of Kramer. And for more on the plot, there's IMDB, Wikipedia, and further resources on the World Wide Web if you don't have a great-grandpa around to ask. The film would have seven Academy Awards nominations and no wins, with Bogart losing out to Brando (and Kramer to Spiegel) for On the Waterfront. This episode Ken and his metaphor get sweaty towards the ep's end; Ryan reveals the thuggish life of Joan Didion; and Gen Z'ers Jack and Thomas settle the TGTPTU style guide dispute over how to pronounce “gif.” And now for an important announcement:Despite what your lying ears have heard, there has never been a recorded mutiny on TGTPTU. The truths of each episode lie not in their incidents, but in the way these three hosts in the battle for the Pacific Northwest meet the crisis of their lives. Now sound the Star Trek Original Series whistle, we're coming onboard.

Hey Reservos! This week we are discussing Stanley Kramer's Judgment At Nuremberg (1961). Listen as we breakdown this historically accurate yet fictionalized account of justice being served to those who were complicit to the atrocities committed by the Natzi regime. Enjoy!
In March of 1960, Stanley Kramer had the honor of being the first star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now, nearly 3,000 stars later, this podcast shines a light on one of Hollywood's most fearless filmmakers. Kramer, known as the message movie master, never shied away from tackling the big issues of his time – racism, war, nuclear fear, and social justice. With classics like "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "2001, A Space Odyssey," "High Noon," and "Judgment at Nuremberg," Kramer proved that movies could both entertain and challenge audiences to think. His bold vision and moral courage made him not just a director and producer, but a true pioneer in American cinema.
This month, Cody, Robert, and Nat are joined by Miloš Tomin to explore Cold War fears and the end of the world in Stanley Kramer's ON THE BEACH. Time tracks: 0:00:00 - ON THE BEACH Discussion 1:14:37- Next Movie and Outro
With his new documentary Billy Preston: That's the Way God Planned It opening in New York on Friday, veteran director Paris Barclay is here to unpack Stanley Kramer's 1967 hot-button love story Guess Who's Coming to Dinner – a picture he knows inside and out. Your genial host Norm Wilner is here to take it in.
⭐Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) - When "Just Following Orders" Fails (Plot Synopsis) ⭐
On this week's episode of our show, we take a look at Stanley Kramer's 1961 courtroom drama masterpiece “Judgment at Nuremberg”. When judge Dan Haywood is called upon preside over a tribunal for Nazi judges and jurists at the end of World War II, deep wounds the war left behind are opened and one of the darkest chapters in human history is laid bare to both the characters and the audience. Join us as we go boldly!
Para muchas personas, los prejuicios racistas van unidos a la religión. Nuestra continua búsqueda de autojustificación hace que nuestro corazón, naturalmente, se incline a considerar que nuestra cultura, clase y fe, nos hace mejor que los demás. Como judío, Pedro veía al que no lo era, o sea "gentil", como "impuro", evitando comer con él. El conflicto al que se enfrenta en Hechos 10-11 continua hasta que Pablo le recrimina que "no anda rectamente conforme al Evangelio" (Gálatas 2:14). Si somo salvos por Gracia, ¿cómo podemos considerarnos superiores a otros? La canción de Salomon Burke nos dice que "Ninguno de nosotros es libre" (None Of Us Are Free 2002). El tema popularizado por Ray Charles, lo graba "el obispo del soul", predicador desde los siete años de una iglesia "unicitaria" pentecostal, muerto en el aeropuerto de Amsterdam en 2010, junto a los Chicos Ciegos de Alabama haciendo coros. Se refiere en principio a la idea judía de que nadie es libre, mientras haya uno que no lo sea. Para Jesús, eso significa que todos somos esclavos de un mal del que no podemos librarnos nosotros mismos (Juan 8:34). Por eso le dice el canadiense Neil Young al "Hombre sureño" (Southern Man 1970), que "no olvide lo que dice el Buen Libro". El racismo de la cultura "blanca anglosajona protestante" (WASP) del sur de Estados Unidos no se puede conciliar con el Evangelio. La verdad es que todos tenemos un "Amigo racista" (Racist Friend 1984), canta el fallecido Terry Hall. El cantante de origen judeo-alemán fue víctima de abusos por un círculo pedófilo francés a los doce años, formando en Coventry (Inglaterra) en 1977, la banda racialmente mixta de los Specials, que unió el "ska" jamaicano al sonido de la "Nueva Ola", hasta su muerte en 2022. Pocas películas revelan tan claramente la hipocresía de la sociedad liberal blanca occidental como "Adivina quién viene esta noche" (1967). El matrimonio que interpretan la pareja real extramatrimonial durante tantos años de Katherine Hepburn con Spencer Tracy, pocas semanas antes de su muerte, muestra la sutilidad del prejuicio racial con el que se enfrenta a la relación en la ficción de su hija, la sobrina de verdad de Hepburn, con el atractivo actor de las Bahamas, Sidney Poitier. Escuchamos escenas de la primera parte del filme en su versión doblada al castellano con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre el texto de Hechos y la película de Stanley Kramer con el fondo de la banda sonora original de Frank DeVol. D C Talk fue uno de los tríos más populares de músicos cristianos a finales del siglo pasado y principios de éste. Racialmente mixto, la banda se formó en el entorno ultraconservador de la universidad fundamentalista del líder bautista de la Mayoría Moral de los 80, Jerry Falwell. Liberty. La banda acaba con el escándalo de la acusación de abusos sexuales por el afroamericano Michael Tait en 2025, conocido por su apoyo a Trump. "Gente de color" (Coloured People 1995) es uno de los pocos temas que hace referencia a la unidad con la que ve el Creador, la diversidad racial. El hijo del pastor bautista californiano, Steve Taylor, se enfrenta, sin embargo, desde su primer disco al "código de color" (We Don´t Need No Colour Code 1984), por el que se prohíbe la matriculación y el matrimonio interracial en la universidad evangélica, sede del fundamentalismo del sur de Estados Unidos, donde se forma Billy Graham. El "enfant terrible" de la "música cristiana" de los 80 la llama por sus iniciales (B. J. de Bob Jones) .El Evangelio nos muestra, sin embargo, que como "en Cristo Jesús no hay distinción" entre el que es judío y el que no lo es (Gálatas 3;28), tampoco hay diferencia en la fe, sea cual sea nuestra raza, pueblo o nación.

Paul once told us that when he thinks of William Shatner the first of his acting roles that comes to mind was that of Captain Harrison Byers from Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg from 1961, long before Shatner stepped onboard the Starship that would change his life. In this episode, after over nine years of podcasting, we finally discover why that was as we examine this star-studded Courtroom drama.

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Katherine Kramer, daughter of producer/director Stanley Kramer. Our chat with Katherine or Kat was both edifying and easy as we had familial connections and we learned a few things in the process. Such as? Well how about what famous actress was she named after, where in the Western United States did her family move to once they left Hollywood and what films made her father a bankable director while he was still producing. We also spoke about some of his films, many of them 'message' films such as Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, Judgement at Nuremberg, The Defiant Ones and a small, off-beat comedy called It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World which co-starred Edie Adams, our host's Josh Mills's mother. In all, Stanley Kramer's films garnered 80 Academy Awards and starred everyone from Spencer Tracy to Sidney Pointier, Marlon Brando and so many, many more. Kat talked to us about her work as well – in terms of both her charity events and her film festivals, her one woman show about Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, her creepy house growing up, The Kennedy Assassination and much more. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story. Kat Kramer's is coming right up!
Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan del II premio "Almirante Cristóbal Colón" y Vencedores o vencidos con Antolín de la Torre. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: II premio "Almirante Cristóbal Colón" La importancia de España en el mar y en la navegación es innegable tanto en el pasado como en el presente. Hablamos de ello con motivo del II premio "Almirante Cristóbal Colón" que la Real Academia del Mar española ha entregado a la Asociación de Ingenieros navales y oceánicos de España en una ceremonia que tuvo lugar el viernes 28 de noviembre en la Cámara de Oficiales de la Armada. La Real Academia de la Mar es una organización que tiene como objetivo ensalzar la cultura y la tradición marítima de España y la defensa de los intereses de nuestro país en el mar, aunando las aspiraciones de nuestras cuatro marinas: Armada, Mercante, de Pesca y Deportiva. Entrevistamos al excelentísimo señor don Cristóbal Colón de Carvajal y Gorosábel, 18º duque de Veragua, grande de España, 18º marqués de Jamaica, 20º almirante de la Mar Océana y adelantado mayor de las Indias, que fue el encargado de entregar el galardón. Madrileño pero con una historia vital absolutamente ligada al mar, como capitán de fragata y 20º descendiente del descubridor de América. Acaba de lanzar en Amazon una novela de profundo espíritu marítimo: 'La premonición de Adela'. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre "¿Vencedores o vencidos?" (Judgment at Nuremberg). Película estadounidense de 1961 producida y dirigida por Stanley Kramer con un reparto coral de estrellas estadounidenses y europeas entre las que figuran: Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark, Marlene Dietrich, Maximilian Schell, Judy Garland y Montgomery Clift. Plasma los históricos juicios de Núremberg con la perspectiva de haber sido filmada apenas 15 años después del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Our Gloria Grahame Acteurist Oeuvre-view continues with two 1955 liberal institutional melodramas: Stanley Kramer's Not as a Stranger, starring Robert Mitchum as a monomaniacally idealistic doctor, Olivia de Havilland as the wife he takes for granted, and Gloria as the Other Woman; and Vincente Minnelli's underrated The Cobweb, starring Richard Widmark as a monomaniacally idealistic psychiatrist, Gloria (in one of her best roles) as the wife he takes for granted, and Lauren Bacall as the Other Woman. The relatively counter-intuitive casting of the latter film is an indication of its greater subtlety, but the pairing of the two makes (so we hope) for interesting discussion. And then in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto we say goodbye to Diane Keaton (belatedly, by the time this episode will go up) with a viewing of Annie Hall and ask whether either its "feminist" or its "misogynous" reputations are deserved.

Na dann: Der Tod will wieder töten in FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES, Soderbergh will mit BLACK BAG - DOPPELTES SPIEL im Geheimdienst wühlen und Nicolas Winding Ren kehrt mit VALHALLA RISING zurück. Außerdem bitten wir zum TANZ DER TITANEN, beeilen uns ein wenig mit HURRY UP TOMORROW und sind CAUGHT BY THE TIDES angesichts des neuen Films von Regisseur Jia Zhang-Ke. Darüber hinaus haben Schlogger, Andi und Schröck aber auch noch ein paar Streaming-Tipps und Mediatheken-Hinweise für Euch, die sich aus folgenden Titel zusammen setzen. Da sind zum einen NEVER LET GO: LASS NIEMALS LOS von Alexandre Aja, CHAOS WALKING von Doug Liman, IN LIEBE, EURE HILDE von Andreas Dresen und KING'S LAND von Nikolaj Arcel, der damit für den 3. Film in dieser Woche sorgt, in dem Mads Mikkelsen mitspielt. Und da sind zum anderen UNBEUGSAM - DEFIANCE von Edward Zwick, VORTEX - STRUDEL DES LEBENS von Gaspar Noé, DAS URTEIL VON NÜRNBERG von Stanley Kramer und noch ein Film von Steven Soderberg namens TRAFFIC - DIE MACHT DES KARTELLS. Wie immer abgerundet von dem, was die Drei zuletzt gesehen haben. Zum Beispiel DER KLEINE TOD. EINE KOMÖDIE ÜBER SEX, die dann auch ein paar kleine Gespräche zum Thema Sex anregt, BOY KILLS WORLD, der einfach nur tötet, NIGHTWATCH – NACHTWACHE, der immer noch gruselt oder DROP - TÖDLICHES DATE, mit dem Andi dann doch auch ein wenig Spaß hatte. Und zu guter Letzt berichtet Daniel von seinem doch eher pannenreichen Wiedersehen mit STAR WARS: EPISODE 3 - DIE RACHE DER SITH, was aber wohl dennoch ein richtiges Happy End hatte. Als kleine Randnotiz sei noch erwähnt: Am Sonntag kommt noch eine Besprechung zu ANDOR mit Andi und BJÖRN BETON (FETTES BROT), deswegen fällt das heute hier etwas kürzer aus. Ach so, und wir verraten Euch, wann wir endlich KINO+ 500 stattfinden lassen. Damit lässt es sich hoffentlich gut ins Wochenende starten. In diesem Sinne: bleibt gesund, sportlich und gut drauf und viel Spaß beim Glotzen. Ciao. Rocket Beans wird unterstützt von fritz-kola. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stanley Kramer's 1958 feature THE DEFIANT ONES, a film very much of its time, makes multiple on-screen appearances in RaMell Ross' new NICKEL BOYS, a film about the way the past haunts the present. Both movies take place in the Jim Crow-era South and engage with that setting's lopsided ideas about justice, but THE DEFIANT ONES does so from a much more straightforward approach, operating as both a stylish thriller about two escaped prisoners, one black (Sidney Poitier) and one white (Tony Curtis), and an earnest allegory about interracial acceptance. That latter quality makes it easy to lump in with Kramer's other “message movies,” which are often dismissed from a modern vantage point as stodgy and sanctimonious, so we're revisiting THE DEFIANT ONES, with an assist from critic and pal Noel Murray, to see whether it earns or defies that reputation. And in Feedback we revisit our WIZARD OF OZ discussion with a reader suggestion of another child female protagonist who rivals Dorothy when it comes to teary helplessness.

The antagonist becomes the protagonist in Jon M. Chu's WICKED, which adapts a stage musical — the first act, anyway — which adapts a novel that flipped the script on 1939's THE WIZARD OF OZ (itself an adaptation of L. Frank Baum's novel). So while there are plenty of narrative and character parallels between the two films, they often run perpendicular to each other in their respective notions of good and wicked. But the two films are certainly aligned in their aim to be big-screen spectacles of the highest order, though opinions differ among our hosts as to what degree WICKED achieves that goal in its heavily CGI-ed and halved form. Following that debate, we pit Dorothy and Elphaba against each other to see what each protagonist has to offer when it comes to fish-out-of-water pluck, character-defining“I Want” songs, and willingness to trust in that scoundrel the Wizard. And for Your Next Picture Show, Scott wheels out a recommendation for one of the weirder, but strangely enduring, cinematic visions of Oz.

A couple of weeks ago—after this episode was recorded, but before it was edited and posted—the famous author Stephen King posted online his top ten novels of all time—and among them was Katherine Anne Porter's Ship of Fools. This 1962 book was the first novel by Porter, a great American writer who had mostly worked in the short story genre and as a journalist and editor. The novel tells of a German passenger liner traveling from Mexico to different ports of Europe in the 1930s. It presents a multinational, highly varied cast of characters. Ship of Fools received rave reviews at first, before then suffering through the obligatory critical backlash. The film rights sold for what at the time was a kaboodle of money and the movie was nominated for and received a number of Academy Awards. Hosts Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough wrestle with these questions: is this work a great American novel after all? Are we all fools bound on an eternal quest for understanding or relevance or fares with inclusive food and drinks? Why did the author take thirty years (almost) to finish the book? Come steam away with us as we sort it out. Listeners are warned as always: there be spoilers here!The film audio clips are from the trailer to Ship of Fools, directed and produced in 1965 by Stanley Kramer and starring Vivien Leigh and Lee Marvin, among others. Released by Columbia Pictures. The show music is by Lobo Loco. The intro song is “Old Ralley,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.” For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.

The Dank Diplomat Ngaio Bealum is back on OMFYS and he's picked a pair of movies to get high to from Criterion Channel's current series HOLLYWOOD CRACK-UP: THE DECADE AMERICAN CINEMA LOST ITS MIND. First, LEE MARVIN is punching dudes in the nuts and throwing them out of high-rise windows all to get his $93,000 back in POINT BLANK (1967). It's heavy on the testosterone but has lots of psychedelic and French New Wave touches from then-young director JOHN BOORMAN, who went on to make some of the trippiest movies ever made with EXCALIBUR (1981) & ZARDOZ (1974). Also starring Angie Dickenson, Sharon Acker, Carrol O'Connor (Archie Bunker), and introducing John Vernon (Dean Wormer from Animal House). Then SIDNEY POITIER is a prison psychiatrist trying to unravel the twisted psyche of a deranged but dangerous nazi played with menace by crooner BOBBY DARIN. This movie is chock full of the tripped-out dream sequences that we live for on this podcast, all set to an awesome jazz theremin score by Ernest Gold and photographed with intensity by Ernest Haller, the man who shot GONE WITH THE WIND and REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE. This is the forgotten collaboration between producer Stanley Kramer and Poitier, who also made THE DEFIANT ONES (1958) and GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER (1967), but Bob thinks PRESSURE POINT is their best. And if all that ain't enough, we've got a young PETER FALK thrown in here for good measure. Both movies are now streaming on CRITERION CHANNEL, which is really knocking it out of the park these days.

Inherit the Wind (1960) is a fictionalized account of the 1925 Scopes “Monkey Trial," where a local teacher is prosecuted for teaching about human evolution in public school in violation of state law. The film was directed by Stanley Kramer and is based on a play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. It stars Spencer Tracy as Henry Drummond (patterned after celebrated defense attorney Clarence Darrow), Frederic March as the prosecutor Matthew Harrison Brady (patterned after famous three-time presidential candidate and renowned fundamentalist Christian spokesperson, William Jennings Bryan); Dick York as Bertram T. Cates (patterned after high school science teacher John Scopes), and Gene Kelly as reporter E. K. Hornbeck (patterned after H.L. Mencken). Fans of the TV series M*A*S*H will also enjoy seeing Harry Morgan as the trial judge. The film not only provides a glimpse into the role of religion in public life in American in the 1920s; it also contains important messages about conformism and freedom of thought directed at the McCarthyism of its own era—messages that continue to reverberate today.

The Caine Mutiny (1954) is based on Herman Wouk's bestselling Pulitzer Prize winning novel of the same name. The film, directed by Edward Dmytryk and produced by Stanley Kramer, portrays the fictitious events on board the U.S.S. Caine, a Navy destroyer-minesweeper in the Pacific during World War II. Executive officer, Lt. Stephen Maryk (Van Johnson), relieves the seemingly unstable Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg, Captain of the USS Caine, of his command after Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) endangers the ship and its crew during a cyclone. The ship returns to the U.S. and Maryk is court-martialed for mutiny. He is represented by Navy lawyer, Lt. Barney Greenwald (José Ferrer), who despite disapproving of Maryk's actions, believes Maryk was misled by the ship's communications officer, Lt. Tom Keefer (Fred MacMurray), into believing Queeg was mentally unfit for command. Maryk is acquitted after Greenwald effectively places Queeg on trial by his exposing Queeg's erratic and paranoid behavior. The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (2023), directed by the late William Friedkin, is based on Wouk's adaption of his own 1951 novel for the stage. In contrast to the 1954 film, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial covers only the court-martial. The cast includes Jake Lacy as Maryk, Jason Clarke as defense attorney Greenwald, Monica Raymund as prosecutor Lt. Commander Katherine Challee, the late Lance Reddick as the presiding judge Captain Luther Blakley, and Kiefer Sutherland in a phenomenal performance as Queeg. The films are not only gripping courtroom dramas, but also explore larger themes around military justice, ethics, and morality. With me to discuss these films is Eugene (Gene) Fidell, a visiting Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School and co-founder of the National Institute of Military Justice.Timestamps:0:00 Introduction3:58 What's a court-martial?9:14 The crime of mutiny17:48 Relieving Queeg of his command27:36 Putting Queeg on trial29:33 Taking some poetic license with a court-martial34:44 The defense lawyer's post-trial critique of the mutiny41:21 The dramatic changes in the Navy and armed forces since the original movie 47:12 More context for the two Caine Mutiny movies50:21 Other great movies about military justice Further reading:“The Humphrey Bogart Blogathon: ‘The Caine Mutiny' (1954),” Dec. 23, 2016, https://back-to-golden-days.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-humphrey-bogart-blogathon-caine.htmlKelly, Kevin M., “You Murdered Queeg: Lawyers, Ethics, Military Justice, and ‘The Caine Mutiny,'” 1991 Wis.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Katharine “Kat” Kramer, daughter of producer/director Stanley Kramer. Now, you might have heard of a few films Stanley directed like The Defiant Ones, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, Judgement at Nuremberg, On the Beach and a comedy called It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. So it's appropriate that this episode is airing two days after the Academy Awards. Why? Because Stanley Kramer's films have received more than 80 Academy Award nominations, have received 16 Academy Awards and Kramer was given an Academy Award, the Irving Thalberg Award, in 1961. To say the man directed (and produced) some groundbreaking films with actors like Spencer Tracy, Marlon Brando, Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier would mean you are just scratching the surface of his illustrious career. We talk to Katharine about everything about the themes of her father's films and somehow, because host Josh Mills' mum starred in It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, we end up talking about that film - a lot. We also talk about Phil Spector – who would have thunk? – Katherine's one woman show, a Mick Jagger tribute album she recorded with many Stones alumni, her career as an actorvist, singing Judy Garland songs to Liza Minelli as a kid backstage, her haunted house growing up, the Kennedy assassination and much more. Katharine is absolutely the most motivated person we've had on this podcast as her career in TV, stage, music, charity and as a member of too many boards to count, will attest. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.
