Vincente Minnelli, uno dei registi che meglio incarna il sistema industriale del cinema di Hollywood, è anche un grande autore! Con Mariella Lazzarin e Rinaldo Censi abbiamo potuto occuparci della sua poetica che vede in conflitto la realtà e il sogno partendo da Madame Bovary e The Pirate, interrogarci sull'uso del colore in Gigi e in Meet Me in St.Luis e del bianco e nero in Undercurrent, condividere la nostra commozione difronte a melodrammi come Some Came Running, Home From the Hill e Tea and Sympathy, sempre un po' offuscati della fama dei suoi musical.

Ron Rice a hatvanas évek elején a New Yorki-i és kaliforniai kísérleti filmes színtér fontos figurája volt, korai halála miatt mindössze öt filmet készített. Rice a Normal Love című soha be nem fejezett munkából inspirálódott – ebből nőttek ki Andy Warhol és Tony Conrad más filmjei is –, a Filmklubon vetített munkájában, a Chumlumban pedig a camp sztárrendezője, Jack Smith is feltűnik színészként. Vincente Minnelli musicaljében, a The Pirate-ben Judy Garland minden idők legveszedelmesebb kalóza iránt vágyakozik, Gene Kelly pedig pofátlan színészként mindent megtesz, hogy megszerezze magának a legcsodálatosabb színésznőt. Ideálokba szerelmesek: a forró nadrágban egy rúd körül pörgő Kelly a férfiszépség fantáziájaként, a transzba esett Garland pedig a színésznő tökéletes állapotaként bontakozik ki a filmben.A Partizán Filmklub NEVEM: SENKI ciklusát ez a két film zárta, ezekről beszélget Babos Anna és Petri-Lukács Simon.

Screen Drafts Booster Club Official Sponsor Eric Darling brings together All-Stars Chris Feil (This Had Oscar Buzz) and Katey Rich (The Ankler, Prestige Junkie) to rank the 7 best films from the career of Oscar-winning Golden Age director VINCENTE MINNELLI!
Vincente Minnelli was the ultimate creature of the studio system, spending twenty years working for MGM and perfecting a distinct brand of big-budget, beautifully designed, often musical entertainment, from Meet Me in St. Louis to An American in Paris, The Bad and the Beautiful to Gigi. Minnelli's late period begins with two films he made toward the end of his run at MGM, his proto-psychedelic remake of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1962) and Two Weeks in Another Town, which painted such a caustic picture of moviemaking decadence that MGM forcibly recut it. Knocked off his game, with both his faculties and his power waning, Minnelli made a trilogy of films about reincarnation and rebirth, one of which starred his famous daughter, Liza.

1950 was a year in which legendary classics like All About Eve and Sunset Blvd were released, but one of their competitors for the Best Picture Oscar was Vincente Minnelli's light comedy...which is itself a low-key classic. Father Of The Bride is well-written and it has more laughs than most movies that came out in that era, largely because Spencer Tracy knew how to be funny in a dignified way. He's nearly at his best in this as a successful lawyer...and he's also Elizabeth Taylor's dad. He's self-absorbed and unable to accept that his daughter has grown up & ready to get married, but he's lovable all the same. Kudos to Joan Bennett too as the MOTHER Of The Bride. Father Of The Bride may be fluffy, but it packs a bit of a melancholy punch, especially if you happen to be middle-aged like we are.

Kerry and Collin are joined be frequest guest Patrick Ripoll (co-host of 96 Greers) to talk about one of the essential Judy Garland movies, the technicolor marvel "Meet Me In St. Louis," in which the song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" made its debut and would eventually become a standard. Vincente Minnelli's timeless classic would also make for a great Halloween movie. What were the original lyrics to the famous Christmas song before Garland suggested a rewrite? What is the proper way to build a snowman that is not the usual three boulders on top of one another? And what is the proper way to wreck them? All this, plus a Blu-ray Gift Exchange that covers Albert Brooks, Mad Max, Elvis and a 90s teen comedy. Blu-ray Gift Exchange movies covered: Warner Bros: "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" (2024) Criterion: "Real Life" 4K (1979) "Mother" 4K (1996) Sony: "Can't Hardly Wait" 4K (1998) Warner Archive: "Harum Scarum" (1965) "Marie: A True Story" (1986)

Patreon supporter Justin's last pick was Bottle Rocket from the 90's and this time we're going 3 decades back to 1963 with The Courtship of Eddie's Father. The Courtship of Eddie's Father, directed by Vincente Minnelli, was a noteworthy project within the family-comedy genre, combining elements of drama and humor to tell a heartfelt story. Based on the novel by Mark Toby, the film starred Glenn Ford as Tom Corbett, a widower struggling to raise his young son Eddie, played by Ronny Howard. The casting of Ronny Howard, already known for his role on "The Andy Griffith Show," brought a natural and endearing quality to the film. The chemistry between Ford and Howard was central to the film's success, as their believable father-son relationship drove the emotional core of the story. Filming took place in various locations around Los Angeles, which provided an authentic backdrop for the characters' lives. Minnelli's direction emphasized the subtleties of familial bonds and the complexities of single parenthood. The production also benefited from a strong supporting cast, including Shirley Jones and Stella Stevens, who played potential love interests for Ford's character. The film's balance of lighthearted moments with more serious themes of loss and moving on resonated with audiences, making it a box office success.

As Tom navigates single parenthood, Eddie takes it upon himself to find a new wife for his father, leading to a series of humorous and heartfelt encounters with potential candidates.

Gigi is a 1958 movie musical based on a 1944 French novella, directed by Vincente Minnelli and featuring a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner. The film starred Leslie Caron, Louis Jordan, and Maurice Chevalier, and followed the story of a bored French playboy Gaston attempting to reignite a spark in his life, and finding it in a young friend of the family, the titular Gigi. (Who appears in much less of the film than Gaston does.) The film was a major Academy Award winner in 1958, setting a record for sweeping 9 different Oscars, (A record that would be unbroken until 2003 when Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King won 11.) and though Gigi is well-regarded by cinema historians, it has since developed a sour reputation for its themes of grooming and power imbalance.On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott are in way over their heads watching Gigi with return guest Patrick S. Barry. Join the trio as they are thoroughly skeeved out by themes and attitudes that have aged like milk, and are equally amused and disgusted by the antics of Maurice Chevalier, the most French human being to have ever walked this Earth....with Lilz and Scott!

George Feltenstein of the Warner Archive joins the podcast to review five all-time great classic films released on Blu-ray in December. We go through each of the films and the included extras to help you decide if you want to add these films to your home collection.We start with the highly requested TARZAN, THE APE MAN (1932) from MGM starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan. This terrific casting made this film a hit on its initial release and led to a series of films. But this is the one that started it all and the new 4K scan means that you now get to see and hear the film in the best condition since its initial release. The same can be said for our next film, ANNA CHRISTIE (1930) starring Greta Garbo in her first "talkie" film. Garbo shines, and the film still packs a punch 93 years after its initial release. Next is the Academy Award-winning film THE GREAT ZIEGFELD (1936) starring the irrepressible William Power, Best Actress winner Juice Rainer, and Myrna Loy in the biopic on the famous entertainer. We review all of the extras on this packed disc and George details the restoration and many of the stars of the film. Our fourth film is the powerful drama MADAME BOVARY (1949), starring Jennifer Jones, Van Heflin, Louise Jourdan, and James Mason. We discuss the powerful teaming of director Vincente Minnelli and composer Milos Rossa and their importance to the film. And we detail the extras, especially the MGM 25th Anniversary retrospective film. We wrap up our discussion with the fan favorite GENTLEMAN JIM (1942) starring Errol Flynn in his favorite role and directed by one of his favorite collaborators, director Raoul Walsh.

Aside from Gone With The Wind, Meet Me in St. Louis is the most popular film released by MGM during the Golden Age of Hollywood. A lush, sentimental, and deeply nostalgic musical centered on a middle class family going through personal changes during the 1904 World's Fair, this film charmed critics, wowed audiences, got a heap of Oscar nods, established Vincente Minnelli as a director, and furthered Judy Garland's status as a romantic lead. Ryan is joined by Sylvan for a closer inspection of this seasonal perennial. The behind-the-scenes drama of the film gets a fair bit of attention, but time is also taken to examine Meet Me in St. Louis as a holiday staple, a work of auteur filmmaking, and as a paean to a glorious past that never quite existed. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-valentine3/support

In this week's MGM 1945 episode, a Vincente Minnelli double feature: The Clock, a wartime romantic drama with two very intense stars, Judy Garland and Robert Walker, that doubles as a love poem to New York City; and a Technicolor musical fantasy about, in Dave's words (more or less), "A woman who wants to bleep an angel," starring Lucille Bremer as the woman and Fred Astaire as the angel. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, four Lubitsch movies over two weekends: To Be or Not to Be, The Love Parade, Heaven Can Wait, and Ninotchka.

Front Row Classics is proud to welcome back Patricia Ward Kelly for her fourth appearance. Patricia is the widow and biographer of Gene Kelly. Brandon and Patricia discuss a film that both feel needs to garner more attention: 1948's The Pirate. Alongside Gene, the film stars Judy Garland and features a score by Cole Porter. This musical farce directed by Vincente Minnelli is a feast for the eyes and ears. Brandon and Patricia discuss the shooting history, musical number and many myths surrounding the difficult production. They also discuss whether or not the tongue-in-cheek tone of the movie may have been ahead of its time. Be sure to check out Gene Kelly The Legacy to see how Patricia is keeping Gene's legacy alive for future generations.

Kate Wolf is joined by filmmaker Wes Anderson and film programmer and distributor Jake Perlin to discuss Do Not Detonate Without Presidential Approval, an anthology inspired by Anderson's latest, Asteroid City, which is out in theaters now. The book, edited by Perlin, interprets different aspects of Asteroid City, including its setting, which is the American West (in a small town in the 1950s hosting a Junior Stargazers award ceremony) as well as it's parallel existence as a televised stage play—another theme is the Broadway stage—and of course the movies themselves with the theme of mid-century cinema. Like Anderson's film, the collection reveals an interwoven lattice of allusion, reference, and history; a deep and sometimes startling connection between American life, politics, and entertainment; the day to day realities of of being part of an ensemble and working on a theatrical production; as well some incredibly incisive film criticism with excellent essays on movies such as Vincente Minnelli's Some Came Running, Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole, and Lewis Allen's Desert Fury.

We're celebrating the 70th anniversary of one Brandon's favorite films this week on Front Row Classics. The Band Wagon is one of the crown jewels of the Arthur Freed unit at MGM. Author and film historian, John DiLeo also counts the musical comedy as one of his favorites. Brandon and John recount all of their favorite moments and musical numbers from Vincente Minnelli's love letter to show business. From the romance of 'Dancing in the Dark' to the hilarity of the "Girl Hunt Ballet', The Band Wagon is a film that still charms seven decades later.

Directed with his own unique style by Rouben Mamoulian, this M-G-M classic endures as a masterpiece of classic cinema.Stewart Granger and Deborah Kerr star in the adventure story "King Solomon's Mines" (1950), all shot on location in Africa. Granger plays Quatermain in this M-G-M adaptation that was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar® and won the awards for Best Color Cinematography and Best Editing. Deborah Kerr plays the plain Englishwoman who hires Quatermain to lead the hunt for her missing husband, even though no safari has ever returned from uninhabited regions their expeditions must cross. Child star Ron Howard joins Glenn Ford in the delightful romantic comedy "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" (1963).
