“I'm too selfish to like you out of pity.” Tea and Sympathy (1956) directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Deborah Kerr, John Kerr and Leif Erickson Next Time: The Children's Hour (1961)

Ep. 328: Michael Koresky on his new book Sick and Dirty: Hollywood's Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness - The Children's Hour, These Three, Tea and Sympathy, Dance Girl Dance, and more Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. I was a huge fan of Michael Koresky's last book, Films of Endearment, and so I leapt into action when I heard about his latest, Sick and Dirty: Hollywood's Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness. Koresky is now Senior Curator of Film at Museum of the Moving Image, and, as he points out, his book has roots in his column I had the privilege of editing at Film Comment, Queer and Now and Then. I spoke with him about some pivotal titles in his deeply researched chronicle of under-the-radar queer cinema from the 1930s to the 1960s, and the fascinating work that could emerge under Hollywood's censorship regime: These Three and The Children's Hour, two adaptations of Lillian Hellman's play, both directed by William Wyler; Dorothy Arzner's Dance, Girl, Dance; Vincente Minnelli's oft-maligned Tea & Sympathy; and more. “Sick and Dirty: Hollywood's Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness” by Michael Koresky is available now, published by Bloomsbury. On June 22, Tea & Sympathy will screen with Koresky in conversation at the Museum of the Moving Image as part of a special book event.

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.

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.  This is pure entertainment at its best, combining drama, comedy, and sport. The disc is loaded with extras and makes for a tantalizing release.Purchase links:TARZAN, THE APE MAN (1932)MADAME BOVARY (1949)THE GREAT ZIEGFELD  (1936)GENTLEMAN JIM (1942)ANNA CHRISTIE (1930) The Extras Facebook pageThe Extras Twitter Warner Archive & Warner Bros Catalog GroupOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.

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. Play "Masterpiece or Meh?" with Elise with these six movies, and hear Dave defend two "mehs" as "masterpieces"! (Or "meh-sterpieces"?) (No, "masterpieces"!)

Mark Griffin discusses "A Hundred or More Hidden Things: The Life and Films of Vincente Minnelli." Minnelli is widely regarded as one the most important and creative filmmakers of all time.

Join us for THE PIRATE, a hilarious musical gem and Judy Garland's final film with Vincente Minnelli.

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.

In the twelfth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and stunt actor Danny Hernandez to discuss one of the true blue masterpieces of the MGM golden age of musicals with Vincente Minnelli's ode to collaborative creation and the sensation of pure entertainment in the exquisitely crafted and masterfully performed show revue The Band Wagon (1953).

SUMMER RERUNS!  A number of our listeners have expressed frustration that some of our earlier episodes have dropped off the feed, so while we’re on summer hiatus we thought we’d rerun some of our favourites from the beginning of our BGM journey!  Journey back to 2014 and Episode 18 when we talked about Vincente Minnelli’s […]

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.
