“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.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Monsters in the Machine (2016), by Steffen Hantke; Keep Watching the Skies (2009), by Bill Warren; “Richard Carlson: Albert Lea's Other Film & Television Star,” December 24, 2016, by Ed Shannon; “Today's Underrated Actor Spotlight: Richard Carlson,” June 24, 2105, by Bynum, www.thetinseltoentwins.com; “A Tribute To Richard Carlson,' January 9, 2014, www.scififilmfiesta.com; “Richard Carlson, Actor, Dies at 65,” November 27, 1977, New York Times; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned:  Desert Death (1935), starring Raymond Hatton; The Young in Heart (1938), starring Janet Gaynor, Roland Young, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr & Paulette Goddard; The Duke of West Point (1938), starring Louis Hayward & Joan Fontaine; Winter Carnival (1939), starring Ann Sheridan, Richard Carlson, & Robert Mitchum; These Glamour Girls (1939), starring Lana Turner & Lew Ayres; Dancing Co-Ed (1939), starring Lana Turner & Richard Carlson; Beyond Tomorrow (1940), starring Haley Carey & Charles Winning; No, No, Nanette (1940), starring Anna Neagle; The Howards of Virginia (1940), starring Cary Grant & Martha Scott; Back Street (1941), starring Margaret Sullavan & Charles Boyer; The Little Foxes (1941Ol staring Bette Davis & Teresa Wright; The Affairs of Martha (1942), starring Marsha Hunt & Richard Carlson; My Heart Belongs to Daddy (1942), starring Richard Carlson & Martha O'Driscoll; Fly By Night (1942) starring Richard Carlson & Nancy Kelly; Hold That Ghost (1941), starring Bud Abbot & Lou Costello; White Cargo (1942), staring Hedy Lamarr& Walter Pidgeon; Presenting Lily Mars (1943), starring Judy Garland & Van Heflin; The Man From Down Under (1943), starring Charles Laughton & Donna Reed; So Well Remembered (1947), starring John Mills & Martha Scott; Behind Locked Doors (1948), starring Richard Carlson & Lucille Bremer; The Amazing Mr. X (1948), starring Turban Bey, Lynn Bari, & Cathy O'Donnell; King Solomon's Mines (1950), starring Stewart Granger & Deborah Kerr; The Sound of Fury (1950), starring Frank Lovejoy; The Blue Veil (1951), starring Jane Wyman, Charles Laughton, & Joan Blondell; The Magnetic Monster (1953), starring Richard Carlson; It Came from Outer Space (1954), starring Richard Carlson & Barbara Rush; The Maze (1953), starring Richard Carlson & Hillary Brooke; The Creature from The Black Lagoon (1954), starring Richard Carlson & Julie Adams; All I Desire (1953), starring Barbara Stanwyck & Richard Carlson; Riders To the Stars (1954), starring William Lundigan; Appointment with a Shadow (1957), starring George Nadar; The Saga of Hemp Brown (1957), starring Rory Calhoun; Johnny Rocco (1958), starring Richard Evers & Coleen Gray; Tormented (1960), starring Richard Carlson; Kid Rodelo (1966), starring Broderick Crawford & Janet Leigh; Change of Habit (1969), starring Elvis Pressly, Mary Tyler moore, & Richard Carlson; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

Besonders Der Geist des Llano Estacado diente als Inspiration für dieses actionreiche Abenteuer. Mit Pierre Brice als Winnetou, Stewart Granger als Old Surehand und Elke Sommer, Terence Hill & Götz George in einer der Nebenrollen erleben wir eine Geschichte von Mut, Gerechtigkeit und unerschütterlicher Freundschaft.Wir werfen einen Blick hinter die Kulissen dieser Produktion – von den spektakulären Drehorten in Kroatien bis hin zu den Herausforderungen beim Filmdreh.

EPISODE 49 - “Birthday Tribute to Classic Cinema Star Ann Blyth ” - 08/19/2024 ** This episode is sponsored brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** With her crystal clear soprano voice, porcelain doll face, and fierce acting talent, ANN BLYTH became a much in-demand star in the 1940s and 1950s. While known mostly as a romantic musical comedy star in film such as “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid” (1948), “Rose Marie” (1954), and “Kismet” (1955), she was also a deft dramatic actress when given the chance. Who can forget her as Veda, he daughter who made JOAN CRAWFORD's life a living hell, in “Mildred Pierce” (1945), or as the down-trodden alcoholic singer in “The Helen Morgan Story” (1957)? Blyth turns 96 on August 13th and is truly a living legend. Listen this week as we pay tribute with an episode about Ann Blyth's remarkable life and career.

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). So listen in and learn about this most excellent actor.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The Encyclopedia of Film Actors (2003), by Barry Monush; The Illustrated Who's Who of the Cinema (1983), by Ann Lloyd and Graham Fuller; Quinlan's Illustrated Registry of Film Stars (1986), by David Quinlan; “Paul Douglas, 52, Film Star, Dead,” September 12, 1959, The New York Times; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  A Letter to Three Wives (1949), starring Jeanne Crain, Ann Southern, Linda Darnell, Kirk Douglas, Paul Douglas, Jeffrey Lynn, Thelma Ritter, Connie Gilchrist; Born Yesterday (1950), starring Judy Holiday, Broderick Crawford, and William Holden; Adam's Rib (1949), starring Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Judy Holiday, Jape Emerson, David Wayne, Jean Hagen, Tom Ewell; It Happens Every Spring (1949), starring Paul Douglas, Jean Peters, and Ray Milland; Everybody Does It (1949), starring Paul Douglas, Linda Darnell, Charles Coburn, Celeste Holm; The Big Lift (1950), starring Paul Douglas, Montgomery Clift, Cornell Borchers; Panic In The Streets (1950), starring Paul Douglas, Richard Widmark, Barbara Bel Geddes; Fourteen Hours (1951), starring Paul Douglas, Richard Basehart, Barbara Bel Geddes, Agnes Moorhead, Robert Keith, Grace Kelly, Debra Paget, Jeffrey Hunter; Angels In The Outfield (1951), starring Paul Douglas, Janet Leigh, and Keenan Wynn;  We're Not Married (1952), starring Ginger Rogers, Fred Allen, Paul Douglas, Marilyn Monroe, Eve Arden, Victor Moore, Eddie Bracken, Mitzi Gaynor, David Wayne, Louis Calhern, Zsa Zsa Gabor, James Gleason, Paul Stewart, Jane Darwell; Green Ice (1954), staring Stewart Granger, Grace Kelly, Paul Douglas, John Ericsson; Clash By Night (1952), starring Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Ryan, Paul Douglas, Marilyn Monroe, Keith Andes, J.

David refers to King Solomon's Mines as the movie that dares to ask, “What if Trader Horn was in color?” but what it really answers is why the character of Allan Quatermain, who was as popular and well known at the turn of the 20th century as James Bond is today, and played here by Stewart Granger, disappeared entirely from the popular imagination.

Un poker di grandi attori per un film di classe che rivedo sempre con piacere. I quattro dell'Oca Selvaggia è una pellicola dove la guerra fa da semplice sfondo all'amicizia, all'avidità e allo spirito di sacrificio per un futuro migliore. Straordinaria l'interpretazione di Richard Burton nei panni del colonnello Faulkner, uomo solo apparentemente privo di ideali, che si frappone ad un cinico e spietato Stewart Granger, nel ruolo di un perfido magnate della finanza, che non si fa scrupolo a distruggere qualsiasi vita umana per raggiungere i propri scopi. Una selvaggia e meravigliosa Africa è la terza protagonista di una storia diretta con maestria, accompagnata da una splendida colonna sonora.

Stewart Granger was one of the most successful Movie stars in Hollywood in the 1940s and 50s. His looks, talent and athleticism attracted the powers that be in Hollywood, resulting in one of the best swashbuckling movies ever made absent Errol Flynn. His marriage to the talented and beautiful Jean Simmons who also found succcess in Hollywood made them a  golden British couple. But Granger was a challenging personality, unable to completely understand or properly address the political, corporate and financial ups and downs of an industry, where forbearance, tact and charm, as well as ego and talent were essential requirements, in order for an actor to get ahead. As a result, he missed out on a number of key roles which would have substantially enhanced his acting legacy and incurred a number of personal and financial misfortunes. Listen to and enjoy this CHMTC episode  on the life and career of the late great Stewart Granger. Thanks to all for the positive feedback and do let me know if you  favour the new non-music format of the show which is  being tried for the first time in this episode.

This is the first of a series of podcasts called "the British Are Coming." The series will cover the lives and careers of 4 great British film stars who left their mark on British and American Films in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.   Merle Oberon, David Niven, Stewart Granger and the late great Stanley Baker were and remain filmatic forces to be reckoned with.    Talented, good looking, charming and unique they represented at least in terms of their public image the best of the British Empire. Forging careers in the UK and Hollywood they reached levels of success that many British actors of today aspire to but are unlikely to achieve. But in true Classic film fashion they were also decidedly imperfect human beings who experienced many tears as well as laughter.   Merle Oberon, a child of the British Empire, was one of the most beautiful women that filmdom ever produced. She was a major film star of the 1930s, 40s and 50s.  When she died in 1979 she appeared to have it all, a handsome husband 25 years her junior,  wealth, fame, children and a respected film career. But Merle Oberon was a women full of mystery and anxiety who spent over 40 years covering up her past and denying her true identity. Enjoy the  telling of the story of Merle Oberon by Mrs Classic Film Fan an actress who chose never to look back.   NB: Check out the pictures, articles and other sources of information which informed this episode on the great MO, which will be put on the Classic Hollywood MTC Facebook page over the next few days.

James Bond, Simon Templar... Michael Berkeley's guest today can only be Roger Moore. He played Bond for twelve years, in seven films, more than any other actor. And before that he was a much-loved figure throughout the 1960s as The Saint. In fact he's rarely been off the big and small screens since he began his acting career in 1945, working as an extra alongside his idol Stewart Granger in Caesar and Cleopatra. What's less well known about Roger is his passion for music. He counts many musicians among his friends and has chosen music performed by two of them - Julian Rachlin and Janine Jansen, who reflect his passion for strings. His other great love is opera, and he entertains us with stories about music from his heroine Joan Sutherland, as well as La Traviata, a piece of music connected with one of his earlier film roles. And he shares the secret of how, after 86 years of mostly star-studded living, he?s managed to keep his feet on the ground. Producer: Jane Greenwood.

Lux Radio Theater - In October of 1934, "Lux Radio Theater" debuted in New York on NBC's Blue radio network. Presenting audio versions of popular Broadway plays, the show failed to garner an audience and soon ran out of material. After switching networks to CBS and moving to Hollywood, Lux found its true market. The show began featuring adaptations of popular films, performed by as many of the original stars as possible. With an endless supply of hit films scripts and an audience of more than 40 million, Lux enjoyed a prosperous run until the curtain fell in 1956.THIS EPISODE:King Solomon's Mines aired December 01, 1952 starring Deborah Kerr and Stewart Granger in their original roles from the1950 film. Adventure stories don’t come more ripping than King Solomon’s Mines, the classic Great White Hunter tale. Novelist H. Rider Haggard’s hero, Allan Quatermain (Stewart Granger), reluctantly agrees to lead an Englishwoman (Deborah Kerr) and her brother deep into uncharted territory in Africa, in search of the lady’s lost husband. Stewart Granger plays Allan Quatermain, the intrepid hero of a whole series of adventure novels by Haggard over a period of almost thirty years. Quartermain is a big-game hunter and guide, brave, resourceful, wise, weary, cynical, and very, very British. Granger is perfect for the role; he sounds, and acts like the Quatermain of the novels. It's a spectacular adventure story with romance, while they fight with wild animals and cannibals.
