In this podcast I look at Jules Dassin's two classic crime caper movies, Rififi and Topkapi - the sources from which all subsequent caper movies evolved. In the film noir segment I talk about Robert Wise's 1949 boxing film, The Set-Up, based (believe it or not) on a 1929 poem by Joseph Moncure March and finally, the third of my alternative Magnificent Seven action film stars of the 1960s - Australian actor Rod Taylor.

Once more with feeling... this podcast includes the second of my alt.magnificent 7 of pre 1980 action stars, a look at Otto Preminger's film noir movie "Angel Face" and a look at the cool genre tv shows that Lord Lew Grade produced with his British TV company ITC. The chipmunk problem is now solved. The podcast sounds as good as it every does. Enjoy!

It's summer in Paleo-Cinema Land. In this 'cast I look at Roberto Rossellini's Viaggio In Italia, Gerry Anderson's live action movie Journey To The Far Side of the Sun a.k.a. Doppleganger and the Robert A Heinlein scripted and embarassingly silly science fiction movie Project Moonbase. I then rabbit on about movie reference books.
