Abrimos el episodio de esta semana con uno de los grandes clásicos de la comedia romántica, ‘La costilla de Adán' dirigida por George Cukor, la que para muchos es la mejor de las nueve películas que hicieron juntos Katharine Hepburn y Spencer Tracy. Este lunes se cumplen 75 años de su estreno. El pasado viernes llegó a nuestras carteleras la película “Polvo serán” que gira en torno a una pareja que quiere suicidarse. Un asunto que también trata la última película de Almodóvar, “La habitación de al lado”. Esto nos ha animado a buscar en nuestra “Enciclopedia curiosa del cine” otras muchas películas que abordan el tema del suicidio desde los puntos de vista más variados. Charlamos sobre el Festival Iberoamericano de cine de Huelva que se celebra estos días con la directora Remedios Malvárez que ha dirigido un documental que resume a historia de sus 50 años de existencia. Y en la sección de Jack Bourbon dedicada al western esta semana traemos uno que se aparta bastante de lo habitual: “Incidente en Ox- Bow” de William Wellman.

Cissy Wellman is an actress, director, dancer, and author.  She is the daughter of the revered Classic Hollywood director, William Wellman, who directed such films as Wings (1927) and the original A Star is Born (1937).  Cissy had the rare opportunity to grow up among the biggest names from the Golden Age, and formed personal relationships with such legends as director Howard Hawks and John Wayne.  Cissy's own career includes television roles on Charlie's Angels, The Waltons, and Hart to Hart.  Her film credits include roles in Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Made Men (1999), and, most recently, in the 2024 film, Little Death, opposite David Schwimmer.  Listen as Cissy shares behind the scenes stories from her career, invaluable insights on the Classic Hollywood legends she knew, and what makes the Golden Age exceptional.

The Film Freaks gladly go back to the hard-boiled and raunchy 1930s when Hollywood was making movies that adults flocked to see—gritty films full of violence, sex, drug abuse, questioning religion, and giving it to the system…you know, like college. But as talkies came in, the studio writers decided to have fun with this new thing called dialogue so these flicks crackle with quips, come ons, and frank talk about infidelity and breaking the law. The Great Depression was happening so audiences looking for escape embraced these bawdy, raw movies and enjoyed the wild, reckless rides it took them on. Soon to be famous directors like Frank Capra, William Wellman, and Mervyn LeRoy helmed rising stars like Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Barbara Stanwyck, and Norma Shearer in these classic pieces of "Forbidden Hollywood." So, when you're done at the speakeasy swilling bathtub gin, give the Film Freaks latest episode a listen and you'll be one dizzy hepcat, see?

That's right! Today we have ANOTHER special BONUS episode, covering William Wellman's The Public Enemy. This "gangster" classic was released on April 23, 1931, so  it fits right in with our regular Oscar timeline, but this movie wasn't nominated for Outstanding Production (but it was nominated for Best Original Story--although it didn't win).  So why are we discussing it? Because, once again, a film made at the same time as our nominees this season has managed to grapple its way into our collective consciousness, especially regarding criminals.This is a “full-length” episode. We still have: history timeline, top song of the day, day-of headlines, plot examination, personal reactions, and contemporary and modern reviews. Please leave us a review wherever you are listening!Email us rants as well as raves: sheacinema@gmail.comYou can also find us on Instagram (and now Twitter/X): @sheacinema

El enemigo público (The Public Enemy, 1931, EE. UU.), de William Wellman, con James Cagney, Jean Harlow y Edward Woods. Presentación: Manuel Hidalgo El mafioso Tom Powers (James Cagney), inspirado en las figuras de gangsters reales de la época, manifiesta una afición desmedida por el alcohol y el dinero, se burla de las autoridades y ejerce una violencia feroz. Concebida como si fuera una crónica del nacimiento del gangsterismo en Estados Unidos al amparo de la ley seca, la película supuso la consagración de su protagonista. En 1949, al ser reestrenada, le fueron eliminados diez minutos, hasta dejarla en los 84 actuales, para cortar episodios que retrataban a un gangster real (Bugs Moran). El sábado se proyecta el vídeo de la presentación del día anterior.Más información de este acto

Sa silhouette, sa chevelure et son bain dans la Fontaine de Trévi ont fait le tour du monde. La caméra de Fellini a immortalisé Anita Ekberg dans cette scène mythique avec Marcello Mastroianni et en a fait une légende. Mais La Dolce Vita a aussi enfermé l'actrice suédoise dans un tombeau romain, dont elle n'a jamais réussi à sortir. Pourtant, Anita Ekberg a eu une carrière foisonnante, aux États-Unis comme en Italie, lauréate d'un Golden Globe en 1955. Dirigée par William Wellman, King Vidor, Dino Risi ou encore Vittorio de Sica, elle fut presque toujours Anita, la bombe suédoise. Invité : Antongiulio Panizzi, réalisateur du documentaire The Girl in the Fountain, diffusé le 25 janvier 2023 sur Ciné+ Classic.

A tonally disparate pair of great films for Paramount 1941: Preston Sturges' The Lady Eve, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda, one of the greatest movies ever made, according to Elise; and a real rarity, William Wellman's Reaching for the Sun, starring some important Sturges actors: Joel McCrea, Ellen Drew, and Eddie Bracken. We interrogate the strange central relationship in The Lady Eve, examining its sadistic, maternal, narcissistic, you-name-it qualities, and Sturges' masterful blending of comedy tropes, melodrama structure, and painful personal psychology. Then we turn to the interesting mixture of "universal" (20th century Western) gender tropes and modern modifications of them in Wellman's tale of a man torn between urban opportunity and Thoreauvian freedom. Then, in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we briefly discuss the Coen brothers' The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) and its curious misunderstandings of Capra, and Brian De Palma's brilliant Femme Fatale and its channeling of Lynch and Verhoeven, but with De Palma's peculiar mixture of sweetness and satire.  Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:      THE LADY EVE [dir.

68: A Year of The Silent Comedy Watch Party • William Wellman Jr. on His Father Wild Bill by Michael Gebert

Jimmy Cagney etched his place in cinema history in one of his first films as he plays vicious beer baron Tom Powers in this hugely influential gangster flick. Apart from Jean Harlow, most of his co-stars and even his director (William Wellman) have been forgotten, even though the performances are quite naturalistic for a flick that was made 90 years ago. And, yes, The Public Enemy is the picture where Cagney squishes a grapefruit in Mae Clarke’s face. That iconic moment hasn’t aged well, but most of the movie has. So get ready to root for the (very) bad guy who ain’t so tough as the 384th Ellises’ Analysis zips through a brief episode like the 2 mugs we are.

They Say I Come From Hollywood Royalty... So Where’s My Crown? is a collection of delightful and funny stories by Cissy Wellman about her life growing up in Hollywood. As the daughter of one of America’s most famous directors, William “Wild Bill” Wellman (whose films include Wings, A Star Is Born, Beau Geste, The Story of G.I. Joe, The Ox-Bow Incident, Public Enemy and dozens of others), Cissy counted among her friends some of the great directors, actors and singers of all time, including director Howard Hawks and the legendary Elvis Presley. But this book is not a tell-all; instead, these stories reveal the good heartedness, humor and loyalty of Hollywood stars. Cissy describes her triumphs and hard times as a dancer, choreographer and actor (she appeared in The Waltons for five seasons as well as many other shows), her many adventures with friends, and the love she shared with two wonderful men. A delightful, heartwarming book. Cissy Wellman, actress, dancer, director, writer, the fifth of seven children. She is the daughter of pioneer film director/producer/writer William A. Wellman, also known as Wild Bill Wellman, and Busby Berkeley dancer and actor Dorothy Coonan. Raised on a 4+ acre farm in Brentwood, California, Cissy now lives in Valley Village, California with her cats, hummingbirds, squirrels and on occasion racoons. https://youtu.be/OwvBebZSrg4 https://www.amazon.com/They-Hollywood-Royalty-Wheres-Crown/dp/B08L4C8NWK https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0920048/

Ron Wood [00:29] "We All Get Old" Gimme Some Neck Columbia JC 35702 1979 Surprisingly this album made it to number 45 on the Top 200.

Sweden's Beat Girls 1966-1970 Ace Records XXQLP 048 2016 A fun compilation of Swedish pop on white vinyl released by the good folks at Ace Records. I went with an early single from my favorite member of ABBA. The Postal Service [06:57] "Clark Gable" Give Up Sub Pop SP 595 2004 Hard not to choose an great song from this vinyl release. But I'm going with "Clark Gable" because I recently saw him play a baddy in William Wellman's Night Nurse with Barbara Stanwyck, Ben Lyon, and Joan Blondell Glacial Tomb [11:51] "Of Flesh and Worship" Glacial Tomb Gilead Media RELIC107 2018 Some Mile High death metal featuring members of Khemmis, Abigail Williams, and Cult of the Lost Cause.

Village People [36:20] "Go West" Go West Casablanca NBLP 7144 1979 Hope you like fire. Seriously though, this album made it up to number 8 on the Top 200. There's a pretty excellent version of this song by the Pet Shop Boys (https://youtu.be/LNBjMRvOB5M) if you were not already familiar with it. Another one of those songs that could be done by the 3:30 mark, but hey... more is more. Nat King Cole [40:31] "Route 66" Go with the Greats National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Produced for Chevrolet. For some reason, this is the only automotive related song. The Swingle Singers [43:28] "Allegro (from the Concerto Grosso, Op. 6, No. 4, Händel)" Going Baroque Philips PHM 200-126 1964 I'm not sure what it is about these swingin' jazz arrangements, but it hits my aural sweet spot. Fun fact, which I'm sure I have mention before: Swingle Singers soprano Christiane Legrand is the aunt of Beach House's Victoria Legrand. Harb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass [48:17] "The 3rd Man Theme" !!Going Places!! A&M Records SP 4112 1965 What's almost as good as the orignal Third Man theme? This version. Bee Gees [50:51] "Massachussetts" Gold RSO RS-1-3006 1976 This song has definitely grown on me over time. Especially after hearing Dean & Britta covering it (https://youtu.be/WjK9JB3vpNU) during one of their home quarantine concerts. Creedence Clearwater Revival [53:16] "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" Gold Fantasy 9418 1972 I would like to see the rain. The sooner the better.

Sans grande surprise, Vladimir Poutine a remporté son référendum en Russie. Les Russes ont dit "oui" à un ensemble de réformes constitutionnelles. La plus emblématique donne le droit à l’actuel président de remettre à zéro le compteur de ses mandats et donc d’envisager un maintien au pouvoir jusqu’en 2036. "A tsar is born"… Ce n’est ni le chef d’œuvre original de William Wellman, ni le remake de Bradley Cooper, mais le scénario imaginé par le chef d'Etat russe.

À propos du livre : « Amis américains : Entretiens avec les grands auteurs de Hollywood » Paru chez Actes Sud "C'est peu dire que cet ouvrage place le travail d'historien du cinéma à un niveau que l'on côtoie rarement. La recherche effectuée durant cinq décennies est considérable. " Le Monde, décembre 2008. Salué par l'ensemble de la critique, cinéphiles et passionnés de cinéma, le livre monumental de Bertrand Tavernier a connu un succès fulgurant tant par la densité de son contenu que par la ferveur avec laquelle Bertrand Tavernier s'entretient avec ces cinéastes américains mythiques, oubliés, adulés ou blacklistés. Ressorti augmenté de nouveaux entretiens en 2008, il ressort aujourd'hui dans une nouvelle édition en version paperback, préfacé par la poursuite des entretiens entre Bertrand Tavernier et Thierry Frémaux, qui est l'éditeur de cet ouvrage. Exploration passionnée au coeur même de la création, mais aussi reflet d'une manière de vivre la cinéphilie, Amis américains est un livre album qui offre l'autopsie méticuleuse et fragmentée du cinéma américain de 1945 à nos jours et le bilan des années cinéphiles du futur cinéaste Tavernier. "Etre attaché de presse était une manière de continuer un travail de critique et d'historien du cinéma. Nous ne choisissions que des films que nous aimions. " Avec plus de 400 photos, Amis Américains reprend des entretiens effectués pour le compte de différentes revues par Bertrand Tavernier, carnet de bord du critique et attaché de presse qu'il fut. Echanges fructueux avec quelques grands d'Hollywood : John Ford, pour un dernier voyage à Paris, William Wellman, Budd Boetticher, John Huston, Jacques Tourneur, John Berry, Elia Kazan, Robert Altman... mais aussi dialogues foisonnants et passionnants avec les grands cinéastes américains actuels : Quentin Tarantino, Joe Dante ou Alexander Payne.

In our 2nd episode devoted to a TIFF retrospective, we cover News From Home: The Films of Chantal Akerman and share with you our excitement about a new favourite director. Topics that come up in the course of discussing Akerman's obsessional-yet-variegated filmography include Freud, mothers, the historico-geographic basis of identity, the nature of desire, passivity, projection, politics, Hitchcock, comedy, ghosts, gender. Films discussed in depth include NO HOME MOVIE, JEANNE DIELMAN, LA CAPTIVE, JE TU IL ELLE, LES RENDEZ-VOUS D'ANNA, A COUCH IN NEW YORK, and the US-Mexico border documentary FROM THE OTHER SIDE. Then, in our Recently-Viewed section, we discuss two more Scorseses, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE and THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, and two movies viewed in one day on either side of NO HOME MOVIE (like the two crucified thieves), William Wellman's 1937 A STAR IS BORN (the best version, in our opinion), and Michael Mann's epic cops-and-robbers movie HEAT, wherein an outrageous Pacino tenderly yet relentlessly pursues a Stoic De Niro.

William Wellman was an amazing director, feisty and yes, wild. His movie Wings won the first best picture Oscar in 1927. We talk his young pilot days in WW1, his making his way to Hollywood, first doing a bit part in a silent film, then becoming an amazing director of such classics as Public Enemy, he was the Oscar-winning screenwriter-director of the original Star Is Born (1937), Night Nurse, Heroes For Sale, which he cast his own wife as the tomboy on the road during the depression, The Ox Bow Incident, Nothing Sacred, G.I. Joe and so many more. He could direct comedies, drama, war movies and westerns. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed his films. Many were precode. He had a tempestuous love life being married 4 times before he met his fifth and final wife Dorothy. They had SEVEN kids. His Homelife was stable but Wild bill often butted heads with the studio, the producers, the actors and whoever else might have angered him. He wanted truth in his films, he achieved it. He was also fiercely loyal of his crew and would step up to the plate for them many times. Find out who his favorite actress was and a couple of the stars that shunned Bill Jr. Bill Jr tells a secret his father had held in since WW1. This was told when they revisited some of the places Wellman remembered. He retired and lived a happy family life until his death.  This is an info filled podcast of an amazing man that lived life, a bit hard at times and an amazing writer/director. Thanks so much to Bill for giving me his time. I highly recommend his book. It took Bill 8 years to write and its wonderful.https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Bill-Wellman-Hollywood-Rebel/dp/0307377709/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2W87ELFJ40K54&keywords=william+wellman&qid=1570802639&s=books&sprefix=William+Wellman%2Cstripbooks%2C140&sr=1-1Also catch the documentary tribute to his dad.

Today's episode is sponsored by Final Draft.

  This month, instead of two separate podcasts, we're exploring our theme through one episode that explores 4 films. Episode 47 tackles the resilient story of A Star is Born, comparing & contrasting the aspects of the story that makes it so resonant that it speaks to the culture 80 years on from its first version.The discussion touches on the four versions; the original, from 1937, directed by William Wellman and starring Janet Gaynor & Frederic March; the 1954 remake, directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Garland & James Mason; the 1976 reboot, which switched the story from Hollywood to the music industry, directed by Frank Pierson and starring Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson. We explore how these three versions fed into the newest version, directed by Bradley Cooper and starring Lady Gaga & Cooper.   We are joined by special guests Collin Souter (film critic featured on RogerEbert.com, and WGN radio co-host, "Monday Morning Movie Reviews".

Episode 46 of Fresh Perspective explores "I Am Not A Witch" (2018), directed by Zambian-Welsh director Rungano Nyoni and starring Maggie Mulubwa. This is part two of our two-part “Girl Power”-themed discussion, in celebration of strong performances by young African American actresses and magic realism in film. This fairytale-like portrayal of a young girl’s struggle to escape the corruption of the Zambian community who wrongly accuse her of witchcraft silently defies scapegoating those who challenge the status quo. Through the mesmerizing performance of Mulubwa, the absurdity of modern-day patriarchal and governmental “witch criers” is revealed and the strength and wisdom of young women to overcome them is never underestimated. Reel Reflections:  What are you tethered to? How do you define freedom? How far would you go to be free from corruption, greed and hatred?

Cissy Wellman fits very nicely into the category of “you don’t get credit for the beauty or talent you are born with, you get credit for what you do with it.” Her significant Hollywood family history begins with the stunning work of her father William Wellman, pioneer film director of the first Academy Award winning 1927 film...

Many of Peter's guests have expressed their feelings about cinema through words. Gina Telaroli prefers images, both moving and still. The experimental filmmaker, image essay maker, and critic sits down with Peter for a very engaging conversation about her work and passion. The two dive into her frame-by-frame analysis of classic Hollywood films and the "unconscious cinema" she unlocks, as well as her obsession with Hollywood workmen Allan Dwan and William Wellman. Peter also gushes about Gina's film Traveling Light, and asks her numerous questions about what he sees as a spiritual work of cinema. Finally, Gina brings in Vincente Minnelli's Gene Kelly-Scottish set musical Brigadoon, a haunting work that both read as a metaphor for the magic and miracle that is cinema and 35mm. 0:00-1:08 Opening1:48-6:50 Establishing Shots - Computer Chess7:02-9:05 Trivia Round9:49-1:10:50 Deep Focus - Gina Telaroli1:12:07-1:32:48 Double Exposure - Brigadoon (Vincente Minnelli)1:32:50-1:34:29 Close
