A timeless classic about a young screenwriter (William Holden) who becomes involved with a former film star from the silent era (Gloria Swanson) who delusionally believes she's ready for a career comeback. Co-starring Erich von Stroheim and Nancy Olson. Co-written and directed by Billy Wilder.
Parece un beso de lo más épico con el campo de batalla al fondo y el sol escondiéndose tras las colinas, en realidad el actor está borracho y acaba de vomitar mientras subía el terraplén a duras penas, es el engaño del cine, algo más grande que la misma vida, así lo dice un eufórico Manny – Diego Calva- a su musa Nellie -Margot Robbie-, entre montículos de coca, ambos quieren comerse el mayor trozo de la tarta incipiente del cine. En este maremágnum de excesos y escatologías, particular ensoñación de Damien Chazelle sobre los años 20 y la transición del cine mudo al sonoro en la Meca de Hollywood. La película patinó en la taquilla, denostada por bastantes y muy aplaudida por algunos. Fue calificada de pastiche, demasiado extenso y con ínfulas. Tiene escenas innecesarias, la huida a Méjico escapando de los gángsters está de más. Me reí con los ademanes de Brad Pittb imitando a John Gilbert, con los estudios Kinescope y la secuencia genial de Nellie acudiendo a su primera cita de trabajo con una resaca criminal, y seguí los pasos de la mano de Manny el mejicano asistente de dirección quiere formar parte de algo más grande que la vida. Para exponer su irreverente sucesión de fiestas, borracheras y rodajes el autor se inspiró en obras literarias como Hollywood Babilonia de Kenneth Anger, donde se narra la lujuria, sordidez y excentricidades de la fábrica de sueños. O en las memorias recogidas en The Parade´s gone by, de Kevin Brownlow. Y de fondo una historia de amor condenada al fracaso, un actor alcohólico y su declive, un músico negro explotado, estados de ánimo, alegrías y depresiones muy presentes en Whiplash y La La Land, y un antro de perversiones en las entrañas de una montaña, el ojete de Los Ángeles lo llama el mafioso macilento interptetado por Tobey Maguire en su única escena del film. Quizá Chazelle alargó el metraje homenajeando obras memorables del cine mudo como Avaricia de Stroheim, sus siete horas originales fueron mutiladas por el productor de la Metro Irvin Thalberg, por cierto ambos, Stroheim y Thalberg aparecen en la peli interpretados por los cineastas Spike Jonze y Max Minghella. Esta noche procuramos no situarnos debajo del elefante… Rosario Medina, David Velázquez, Zacarías Cotán, Raúl Gallego y Salvador Limón
Another full week in physical media captured by Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski. Within they discuss the debut of director Lisa Cholodenko and the history of one of Erich von Stroheim's final works as a filmmaker. Sidney Poitier plays a militant revolutionary and Lin Manuel Miranda's historical musical are here. In the wake of Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day might we recommend Charlie Sheen solving an alien conspiracy. They talk about the film which may have been part of the last hurrah of Arnold Schwarzenegger's run as a box office megastar. Finally one of the great atomic age monster movies and the third in George Romero's zombie films round out the week.3:15 - Criterion (High Art)11:12 - Milestone (Queen Kelly)21:08 - Lionsgate (The Arrival 4K)30:44 - Kino (Unearthly Stranger, A Man Could Get Killed, The Lost Man)47:55 - Disney (Hamilton (4K))54:01 - Warner (Eraser (4K))1:06:42 - Shout (Them!

De ses origines viennoises à sa carrière tourmentée à Hollywood, ce récit captivant vous entraînera dans les coulisses d'un artiste aussi talentueux qu'excentrique.Né dans une famille juive aisée de Vienne, Erich von Stroheim rêve d'une carrière militaire qui lui sera refusée. Rejetant alors ses origines, il s'invente une nouvelle identité d'aristocrate autrichien et part tenter sa chance à New York, puis à Hollywood. Repéré pour son jeu d'acteur impeccable dans les rôles de méchants allemands, il accède rapidement à la réalisation et signe des chefs-d'œuvre du cinéma muet, tels que 'Les Rapaces' et 'La Reine Kelly'. Mais son perfectionnisme légendaire et son caractère inflexible lui valent de nombreux conflits avec les producteurs. Licencié, ruiné, Stroheim se reinvente une fois encore en acteur avant de connaître un ultime triomphe dans 'Boulevard du crépuscule' de Billy Wilder en 1950. Jusqu'à la fin, cet homme à la vie romanesque aura entretenu le mystère autour de ses origines et de son passé, cultivant sa légende d'officier autrichien.Découvrez les rebondissements passionnants de cette existence hors du commun, qui a marqué l'histoire du 7e art. Un récit palpitant à ne pas manquer !Plongez dans l'histoire des grands personnages et des évènements marquants qui ont façonné notre monde !

If you haven't seen this classic, we strongly suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Paramount Pictures production. Released on August 10, 1950. Directed by Billy Wilder.

This week's 1933 Fox Film Studios Year by Year episode paradoxically digs into the Hollywood beginnings of a couple of Paramount powerhouses via William Dieterle's Adorable, a musical based on a German operetta co-written by Billy Wilder (who'd be writing for Fox directly by 1934), and William K. Howard's The Power and the Glory, with an innovative screenplay by Hollywood newcomer Preston Sturges. Important early 30s Fox stars Janet Gaynor (permitted to play against type as a saucy princess who wants to play with the plebs) and Spencer Tracy (as a self-made - with a little help from his wife - tycoon) supply the charisma for the respective proceedings. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, the TIFF Lightbox Naruse retrospective continues with Hideko the Bus Conductress, The Whole Family Works, and Sudden Rain (starring Setsuko Hara), and we see a new restoration of Erich von Stroheim's famously unfinished, visually lavish, absolutely unhinged censor-baiting silent melodrama Queen Kelly.

Join Dan and Tom as they decode the 1943 movie, FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO. Is this World War II movie a spy movie? Listen as Dan tries to convince Tom it is, despite Tom's uncertainty. The story with this menacing title follows the exploits of Cpl. John Bramble in June 1942 after he fell out of his tank in the North African desert. Later on, he ends up meeting Rommel, The Desert Fox, himself. Most of the movie takes place inside the hotel “Empress of Britain”. It is a great setting. Also, something is interesting there underneath the first floor. The people behind this movie are top-notch. Billy Wilder directed and co-wrote it with Charles Brackett, adopting Lajos Biró's play “Hotel Imperial”. It garnered three Academy Award nominations and has an excellent cast. Specifically, Anne Baxter, Franchot Tone, Akim Tamiroff, and Erich von Stroheim play the leads. This is a movie where you don't want to be scanning your phone at the same time as you watch it. You need to pay close attention. However, by listening to this episode, you will enhance your viewing experience. We give you some things to look out for. What we will decode in this episode While we don't give away the key answers for this movie, these are the things we decode in our look at FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO: · Details on this great cast. · How it had a real-world impact on the war. · The humor in this serious movie. For example, we include a clip from the movie about bedbugs. · Without a doubt, there is a tie-in to Boris Karloff. What is it? · The production, cinematography, costuming, and the score. · What Tom thought Bramble needed to have with him on the tank. · The use of the German language. Authentic? · Opera in a World War II movie? · The dialogue - good, or bad? · Certainly, Rommel would not have said what he said at that lunch. Would he? · Answering Tom's question of if this is a spy movie · And more! What we don't answer is what the “five graves to Cairo” are. You need to watch the movie for that.

"IT'S FATAL: WHAT IS FILM NOIR?" (PART III) (080) 3/24/2025 Welcome to the third and final installment of our series on Film Noir. As we have previously discussed the technical elements of noir and met the typical character's of noir, we will now take a look at the creative aspects of the genre that help create that special brand of dark, sexy, deadly movies. We'll discuss dialogue, and clever devices like voice overs, flashbacks, and dream sequences that enhance these dark, moody films. We'll also look at the fatalistic themes that reigned supreme throughout the genre.

"MARY BETH HUGHES - CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 3/03/2025 For those of you who don't know the charms of MARY BETH HUGHES, when she was under contract at MGM, she was dubbed "the poor man's LANA TURNER." It was a rather unfair assessment since MGM gave Lana all the plum roles, and Mary Beth got her hand-me-downs. But still, Mary Beth had great comic chops, and no one played bitchy, hard-boiled blondes as well as she. Despite her beauty and talent, she never managed to get out of B-pictures. She did have small parts in great films like The Women (1939) and The Ox-Bow Incident (1942). She played the good girl as often as she played the bad girl, but when she played bad....you were in for a treat. Her pouty lips, snappy dialogue, and petulant attitude lit up many a lackluster production. This week, we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

In compagnia di Enrico Gaudenzi e con Michela Gorini si torna a parlare del cinema di un secolo fa attraverso quattro mostri sacri della cinematografia che nel 1924 firmano quattro opere straordinarie: "L'ultima risata" (Der letzte Mann) di Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau "La palla numero 13" (Sherlock Jr.) di Buster Keaton, "Rapacità" (Greed) di Erich von Stroheim, "Matrimonio in quattro" (The Marriage Circle) di Ernst Lubitsch.

In this episode of "Tales from Hollywoodland," the hosts and their guest Lee Tsiantis discuss the silent film era's rich history and its profound impact on the film industry. They explore the origins of film, animation, the transition to sound films, and the challenges actors faced during this shift. The conversation covers the low survival rate of silent films into the modern era, the influence of directors like Erich von Stroheim, D.W. Griffith, and Auguste Lumiere, and their influences on modern audiences.

EPISODE 23 - “I Coulda Been a Contender: Classic Casting That Almost Happened” - 02/19/2024 It is well documented that the film “Gone With The Wind” started filming before an actress was cast in the lead role of Scarlett O'Hara. Producer DAVID O. SELZNICK made a spectacle out of who would win the coveted role. It became a national obsession. He considered everyone from TALLULAH BANKHEAD to BETTE DAVIS to LUCILLE BALL. He eventually narrowed the field to three finalists: PAULETTE GODDARD, JOAN BENNETT, and JEAN ARTHUR. But in the eleventh hour, a new contender, an unknown Brit named VIVIEN LEIGH, swept in and won the role. Listen as we discuss, debate, and guffaw over other casting choices that almost happened in some of your favorite film classics.

Alright Mr. DeMille, they're ready to Babble! On today's episode of FilmBabble, Charlie and Antonio take a quick detour onto SUNSET BOULEVARD, the 1950 classic chock-full of romance, intrigue, and.... murder? Take a seat, order a coffee, and listen up! Intro/outro music: "Main Title from 'The Wild Bunch'", composed by Jerry Fielding.

On the final episode of I Am The Wiz for 2023, Kim Shactman and The WIz review the 1950 classic noir Sunset Boulevard starring Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Erich von Stroheim and Nancy Olson, directed by Billy Wilder.
The American Film Institute rated Sunset Boulevard #16 on the 2007 edition of their 100 Years…100 Movies list. This week, the legacy of this acclaimed film is sullied and tarnished by appearing on the TGMEM podcast! Tune in to hear Justus and David peel back the layers of the film noir classic to get to the bottom of this seedy tale of Hollywood's darkside. Together, they uncover mysteries like the Black Dahlia Murderer's foray into killing monkeys, Cecil B. DeMille's boundless bloodlust for horses and the devious wiles of a stone-cold cougar reliving her glory days in her lavish Hollywood mansion. Who cares about the AFI? It's time for Justus and David to settle, once and for all, if Sunset Boulevard is The Greatest Movie Ever Made! Sunset Boulevard (1950) is directed by Billy Wilder and stars William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Erich von Stroheim, Nancy Olsen, and Fred Clark. Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

On this week's Blu-ray episode, Peter Sobczynski talks with Erik Childress about some genuine classics, at least one new one, some forgotten relics and a genuine oddity. Criterion does Terry Gilliam right again with one of their childhood favorites in 4K. They revisit an Oscar-winning film from the ‘80s and whether it would be made the same way today. Kino has some really enjoyable stuff from Andrew Davis, Michael Crichton and a film that got buried during the disaster craze of the '70s.

"It took two years to make; it gives you two hours of engrossing entertainment. You may hate it, as you hate the dangerous undercurrents of life, but you will be fascinated, thrilled, held spell-bound." Heads up! This is a very different kind of episode of You're Missing Out. Instead of sitting down with a guest and bouncing all around the plot of the film like we often do, this time, Mike, Tom, and Kyle sat down on mic to record a full-length (well, full-length for the shortest of the full length versions of this film) commentary track for Erich von Stroheim's 1924 masterpiece, Greed.

durée : 01:01:45 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - En 2009, Francesca Isidori reçoit Claude Jean Philippe, producteur du "Ciné-Club" à la télévision qui présenta pendant plus de vingt ans des milliers de films en version originale aux téléspectateurs. Pour Affinités électives Claude-Jean Philippe, âgé de 75 ans, évoque ce qui a nourri sa vie depuis son enfance : le cinéma et la littérature. Pédagogue et cinéphile passionné, il a animé sur la seconde chaine de télévision française le Ciné-Club de 1971 à 1994 et, à partir de 1976, conçu pour France Culture Le Cinéma des cinéastes, avec l'ambition de rendre plus accessible le travail des cinéastes pour les auditeurs. Claude-Jean Philippe assume d'être éclectique dans le choix de ses films et de privilégier l'émotion vécue plutôt que la critique formelle : "Ce qu'on éprouve réellement ne s'argumente pas". Errol Flynn a été le héros de mon enfance Sa passion pour le cinéma commence très jeune : "Errol Flynn a été le héros de mon enfance à cause de Robin des bois mais aussi de Capitaine Blood, de L'Aigle des mers, etc." Mais au-delà de la voix et du visage devenus familiers au fil des années de la présentation du Ciné-Club, Claude-Jean Philippe restait discret, mise à part la publication de son autobiographie La Nuit bienfaisante, en 1996. Au micro de Francesca Isidori, il évoque sa jeunesse au Maroc, sa découverte de la littérature et du cinéma, son épanouissement grâce au théâtre avec André Voisin. Il se souvient de son arrivée à Paris à vingt ans, de son amour définitif pour cette ville, pour Charles Trenet et pour Apollinaire, "ce que j'aime dans Paris c'est cette majestueuse indifférence qui me remplit d'une paix paradoxale, véritable paix". Partie de campagne de Jean Renoir fut un événement dans ma vie Claude-Jean Philippe fit découvrir aux téléspectateurs, en version originale, les films de Satyajit Ray, Fritz Lang, Stroheim, Murnau, Renoir, Bresson, Bergman, Fellini, Ozu et tellement d'autres cinéastes du monde entier. Co-auteur du livre 100 films pour une cinémathèque idéale, édité par Les Cahiers du cinéma, il cite quelques-uns de ses films préférés : Partie de campagne de Jean Renoir, mais aussi L'Atalante de Jean Vigo, Chantons sous la pluie de Stanley Donen et Gene Kelly.Le cinéphile rend hommage à son ami Jean-Marie Straub qui "éclairait les films en très peu de mots, avec le meilleur goût qu'il soit" et reste modeste sur la capacité à prédire la pérennité des films : Le meilleur critique de cinéma.c'est la postérité. A propos du cinéaste japonais, Ozu, qu'il choisirait d'emporter sur une île déserte, il dit : "Voilà quelqu'un qui savait de quoi le temps est fait."

The following is a choice segment from an interview between Bit Cloud, pilot of the Liger Zero from Blitz Team, and the Cartoncasters. “Look man, life's not so easy in the post-apocalypse. Which post apocalypse? Not important. At least, not any more important than bustin' up some fools with my mad sick liger zero moves. I've never met a mech I didn't want to fight, and I never didn't fight a mech I haven't wanted to beat. So let's get this show on the road, pardner! That growling either means my Liger wants to wrassle, or that I'm hungry - and I already ate! Ate what? From what food sources? Man, just from those questions I can tell you aint from around here.” * Stroheim from JoJo * Model ships in bottles * Goldar * I'm just an ex-con… * Iron Reaver Soul Stealer! * Brawndo * EVs and IVs
Jackie and Greg arrive at the third Jean Renoir on the list, GRAND ILLUSION (LA GRANDE ILLUSION) from 1937. Topics of discussion include the film's gentle satire, Erich von Stroheim as the Tin Man, Renoir's obsession with race and class, and why Strauss waltzes are the most romantic.#73 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012#146 on Sight & Sound's 2022 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list. bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out on Instagram: instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew CoxGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.comSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe

The hosts take a look at two infamous examples of films altered and changed by studio intervention. One of the earliest and most egregious alterations happened to Erich von Stroheim's 1924 Greed. Does the remaining footage yield as close to a masterpiece as its fabled original 9-hour cut?Despite the prestige of Citizen Kane, Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons was not saved from the butchering hands of meddlers. Does the end product carry the gut punches the original was intended to have?
It is indeed the episode a decade in the making! Here, in Episode 43, Team Vintage Sand puts in its collective two cents on the newly released Sight and Sound decennial poll of the greatest films of all time. It is a list referred to by no less an authority than Roger Ebert as “the best damned film list of them all.” But this time, was it a “woke” poll, reflecting more our need for political correctness than a genuine and deep understanding of film history, as old-timers like Paul Schrader proclaimed? Or was it about damn time that the old white men gave up at least some of the strangle hold they've had on the poll since its inception in 1952, as many younger critics proclaimed? Does this new list signify that the battle lines have been drawn irrevocably between older and younger film people? As always, the truth is never that simple. Team Vintage Sand tries to approach the poll by avoiding either extreme, oversimplified position, reaching, as ever, for the complex and embracing the gray. Does Akerman's "Jeanne Dielman" deserve its new place atop the rankings? Probably not, but it surely is a much better film than its position in the mid-30's for the 2012 edition of the poll suggested. And if the poll is so politically correct, why are there no films by the Mexican New Wavers here? Along these same lines, 16 of the 22 directors who have multiple entries on the list are white men; four of the remaining six are Asian men. Yes, there are no films by Howard Hawks or Roman Polanski. No Buñuel. No Lean. No Altman. No Demy, or Melville, or Resnais. No Sternberg or Stroheim. No Huston. No Malick. No Tarantino. No Anderson, be it Wes or P.T. No Coen Brothers. No Linklater. No Spielberg, for goodness' sake! No silent films in the Top 10, and all the silent films that are still there from 2012, with the exception of "City Lights", plummeted to the nether reaches of the list. (If anyone tells me that there are 20 films greater than "The Passion of Joan of Arc", it's ON!) And yet… …there's "Do The Right Thing" entering the list at #24. FINALLY. And there's Burnett's brilliant "Killer of Sheep". And Dash's "Daughters of the Dust". Maybe now someone will give her some money to make a second film, three full decades after she released a Top 100 masterpiece. And there, brand spanking new, are Jordan Peele and Barry Jenkins. And there's Agnes Varda's extraordinary "Cleo from 5 to 7" entering the list in the top 15. And my historical experimental film crush Maya Deren is finally here as well for her extraordinary and endlessly influential "Meshes of the Afternoon". And Claire Denis in the Top 10. And Jane Campion, Barbara Loden(!), Celine Sciamma and the aforementioned Julie Dash. If it took some “woke” (whatever that means) younger critics to put these artists in their rightful places in the pantheon, we'll take it. Ultimately, we recognize the silly waste of energy in trying to compare, say, "Jeanne Dielman" with "Tokyo Story" with "In the Mood for Love" with "Man with a Movie Camera". For us, this poll has one purpose only, and it's the same purpose that guides what we do at Vintage Sand: it opens doors. It takes us out of our comfort zone as viewers, and reminds us that there are vast aspects of film history about which we know little or nothing. So look carefully at Sight and Sound 2022 through this lens, check off the films you haven't seen yet or not in a long time anyway, and track them down. We'll bring the popcorn!
