What is the source of love? And what is belovedness?Belovedness engenders love. If you are actively cherished altruistically by another, despite all of your own shortcomings and feelings of loss and history, that spontaneously and inevitably creates the fruit of love. 1 John 4:9-10 tells us, "In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins."Today Richard's guest is Paul Zahl, Dean Emeritus of Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama. He is an active member in Bible studies at The Center. >>Watch on YouTube*This episode features a clip from the 1954 film "Brigadoon" by director Vincente Minnelli, produced by MGM. Both the clip and the image used in the thumbnail belong to MGM. This talk provides commentary on the film and thus falls under fair use guidelines.

EPISODE 142 -  “LUCILLE BREMER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 6/01/2026  One of those fascinating “what happened to her?” MGM stories is LUCILLE BREMER. Bremer was an elegant redheaded dancer who MGM clearly thought was going to be their next big musical star after ELEANOR POWELL had stepped away. She had the glamour, the dancing ability, the carriage… she looked like she belonged in Technicolor. However, her career lasted only a few short years, and during that time, she worked with visionary talents like VINCENTE MINNELLI and ARTHUR FREED. She danced with FRED ASTAIRE at the absolute height of his artistry. She appeared in Technicolor spectacles that later generations would rediscover and celebrate. She shone so brightly in films during the 1940s, but then, like a shooting star in the night sky, she just vanished. So just what happened to this talented actress? We'll find out as we honor LUCILLE BREMER as our June Star of the Month. SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Actress Lucille Bremer: From Broadway Lights to La Jolla Shores,” January 17, 2025, by Debbie L.

Aujourd'hui dans "Le Journal Imprévisible", Marc Bourreau revient sur l'histoire des chanteuses au cinéma. A l'occasion de l'ouverture de la 79e édition du Festival de Cannes ce soir, un hommage sera rendu à la chanteuse et actrice Barbra Streisand, qui recevra une Palme d'honneur pour l'ensemble de sa carrière.L'artiste est l'une des nombreuses chanteuses américaines qui se sont lancées avec succès dans le cinéma, notamment avec le film "Funny Girl" pour lequel elle a remporté l'Oscar de la meilleure actrice en 1969. Outre son Oscar, Barbra Streisand a également remporté un Oscar de la meilleure musique pour la chanson "Evergreen" du film "A Star Is Born". Artiste complète, la chanteuse a également réalisé, co-écrit et co-produit le film "Yentl" en collaboration avec le compositeur Michel Legrand. Le cinéma américain a longtemps été marqué par la présence d'actrices chanteuses, de Marlène Dietrich à Lady Gaga en passant par Liza Minnelli, fille de Judy Garland et Vincente Minnelli.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

We conclude our Deborah Kerr Acteurist Spotlight with a couple of her big Hollywood movies after the turning point of From Here to Eternity: Vincente Minnelli's Tea and Sympathy (1956), in which she appears as Laura Reynolds, a role she originated on Broadway; and Henry King's Beloved Infidel (1959), in which she stars as Hollywood gossip columnist Sheilah Graham in an autobiographical account of a fascinating rags-to-modest-wealth-and-influence story intersecting with F. Scott Fitzgerald's final years of alcoholic decline and exile in Hollywood. We discuss Minnelli and playwright/screenwriter Robert Anderson's very contemporary-feeling analysis of the performance of gender (masculinity in particular) and Kerr's role as a Sex Christ, and Beloved Infidel's good-bad-and-ugly, but empathetic, approach to a troubled, abusive relationship.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:       TEA AND SYMPATHY (1956) [dir.

 Screen legend Liza Minnelli's ex-husband, David Gest, left such a profound impact on her life that she has sworn off relationships permanently, RadarOnline.com reports. Liza, 80, recognized for her iconic performances and daughter of Hollywood legends Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, married Gest in a $3.2 million wedding in 2002, with Michael Jackson as best man and Elizabeth Taylor as matron of honor. A source close to Liza mentioned, "Liza will openly tell people how this disaster put her off the concept of marriage," emphasizing that Gest was "a totally abusive monster" who shattered her trust in relationships.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Christmas movies are a genre unto themselves. And Classic Hollywood Christmas movies are a special part of that genre. Holiday movies made in Hollywood's heyday of the 1930's-1940's. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at five favorites-Frank Capra's 1946 It's A Wonderful Life, Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 The Shop Around the Corner, Preston Struges' 1944 The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, Vincente Minnelli's 1944 Meet Me In St. Louis, and W.S.Van Dyke's 1934 The Thin Man. Interestingly, all these classic use dark subject matter-contemplated suicide, financial stress, murder, small town scandal-to contrast and thus emphasize Christmas themes of redemption, family, second chances. We also take a look at two modern classics-Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can and Terry Zwigoff's Bad Santa and how they share much the same DNA as their classic Hollywood counterparts. 

In which the Mister and Kid 1 joins me in reviewing GIGI (1958), from directors Vincente Minnelli and Charles Walters (uncredited) with a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner and based on the novella by Colette.  In turn-of-the-century Paris, the young, spirited Gigi (Leslie Caron) is being groomed by her grandmother (Hermione Gingold) and sophisticated great-aunt (Isabel Jeans) to become a successful courtesan in the manner of their own glamorous family tradition.  Gigi spends her time with Gaston Lachaille (Louis Jourdan), a wealthy, bored playboy and family friend, who views her as a charming younger sister and confidante, not realizing her true destiny.  As Gigi blossoms into a young woman, Gaston's feelings evolve from platonic affection to romantic desire, forcing Gigi to choose between becoming his kept mistress or demanding a respectable life on her own terms.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 55 m, is rated G (although maybe that should change based on the topic).  We caught the film on the TCM app but it's currently available to buy/rent on Amazon's platform.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#Gigi #Gigi1958Movie #VicenteMinnelli #CharlesWalters #Colette #AlanJayLerner #NivenBusch #LeslieCaron #Gigi #MauriceChevalier #Honore #LouisJourdan #Gaston #HermioneGingold #MadameAlvarez #IsabelJeans #AuntAlicia #EvaGabor #LianedExelmans #Comedy #Romance #Musical @TCM  @PrimeVideo  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

We're kicking off Christmas Movie Month with a warm, nostalgic classic: Vincente Minnelli's Meet Me in St. Louis. More than just a musical, the film captures the heart of family, tradition, and the bittersweet magic that defines the holiday season.We dive into Judy Garland's unforgettable performance, the film's place in the MGM musical legacy, and how Meet Me in St. Louis shaped the emotional tone of Christmas cinema for decades to come. From “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” to the iconic seasonal imagery, this is the perfect way to welcome in the holidays.A cozy, heartfelt start to our month of festive films.

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.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    NOT AS A STRANGER (1955) [dir.

Our Gloria Grahame Acteurist Oeuvreview recovers from last week's rough spot with two excellent roles in two excellent films that display her range as a character actress. In Vicente Minnelli's The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), for which Gloria won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, she's a sweet but silly Southern belle curiously sacrificed by Kirk Douglas' relentlessly driven movie producer; and in Maxwell Shane's The Glass Wall (1953), she's a fed-up proletarian who rediscovers her humanity by helping Vittorio Gassman's Hungarian refugee. Our conversation moves from the opaque depths of Minnelli's Hollywood melodrama to the cruel but redeemable America of Shane's leftist docu-noir, which somehow slipped under the radar of the blacklist.

This episode we travel to Baghdad with the 1955 Vincente Minnelli version of ‘Kismet' starring Howard Keel.

Bob and Brad return to a golden age classic: An American in Paris (1951), directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. With its lush Technicolor visuals, elaborate ballet finale, and iconic George Gershwin score, this MGM musical remains a milestone in film history, but how does it hold up on rewatch?To pair with this classic, Bob and Brad pour a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon (White Label), a budget-friendly Kentucky straight bourbon that punches well above its price point.

Levant reaches new heights as a cinematic presence in An American in Paris, a film that, we argue, forms part of an "art life" Levant trilogy with Rhapsody in Blue and Humoresque, then flaunts some virtuoso piano performances in The I Don't Care Girl before succumbing to a heart attack prior to filming The Band Wagon. We give our general impressions of these must-see musicals while also trying to determine what quality Levant brings to An American in Paris, in particular, that it wouldn't have without him (besides self-loathing narcissism).

“You can't entirely dislike a man who's tried to kill you.” Old Hollywood's gift for complicating rugged individualism is on vibrant display in this late-period work from Vincente Minnelli, about a cracked-up actor getting a second chance at fame by rescuing a troubled film shoot in Rome. Edward G. Robinson plays the tyrannical old director Maurice Kruger, who by the end of the second act has taken ill and is in need of the kind of legacy-rescuing only a suffering former protege can provide. Kirk Douglas is Jack Andrus, fresh from the sanitarium, who tempers his pride, his cleft chin, and his raspy snarl into instruments of firm compassion, calmly slicing through clouds of empty glamor and toxic ambition as he takes Kruger's place and wrestles the volatile production back on schedule. Dave and Jeremy marvel at the fraught path to redemption the movie lays out, rife with spite and malice even as forgiveness and acceptance prevail. When that path puts our hero behind the wheel of a top-down Maserati for a raving one-car death race through nighttime Roman streets–by which our hero hopes to affirm that he is NOT suicidal–the subtext is clear: reckless emotional intensity is the solution to–and the cause of–all of life's problems. Pack your bags (and your Oscar™ statuette, if you're as hungry for past glory as Jack Andrus) and join Dave and Jeremy for TWO WEEKS IN ANOTHER TOWN.Thank you for listening!

“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.

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.

With an introductory episode to her new season, "The Old Man is Still Alive,"  which covers the late careers of Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and ten other directors who began their careers in the silent or early sound eras, and were still making movies in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, in spite of the challenges posed by massive cultural changes and their advanced age. In this mini-episode we'll discuss the parallels between this history and today, from the tech industry takeover of Hollywood to the late work of Coppola and Scorsese; the interview with George Cukor that inspired the title of this season; the Orson Welles-Peter Bogdanovich-Quentin Tarantino connection that informs the way we think about “old man” movies, and much more.
