Paleo-Cinema Podcast

This time around I'm going for the big time. Ingmar Bergman's 1955 romcom Smiles Of A Summer night, and then on to a movie that won 8 Academy Awards from 13 nominations in 1953, including a Best Supporting Actor gong for Frank Sinatra - From Here To Eternity. What do these movies have in common? Both have been adapted as musicals.

This time around, due to a family thing, it's another music podcast. Jazz, silly songs, cool stuff, radio ads for cult movies the works.

This time I look at a couple of movies from 1974. First up is Robert Clouse's kung-fu/fantasy/comedy Golden Needles starring Joe Don Baker and Elizabeth Ashley then we have a rarely mentioned Michael Caine spy thriller called The Black Windmill. 

Enjoy!

This time, I take a look at the first two St. Trinians movies, Belles of St Trinians and Blue Murder At St Trinians, so it's going to be schoolgirls, dodgy teddy boys, inept bureaucrats and all the fun of moviemakers thumbing their noses at post-War Britain.

For one forty six I look at two movies Michael Caine made in 1970 and look at the historical reasons why the projects worked so well from his point of view. Firstly there's the Robert Aldrich directed WW2 drama Too Late The Hero also starring Cliff Robertson and Henry Fonda then we go to the 30 Year War in the 17th Century for The Last Valley, also starring Omar Sharif and Nigel Davenport.

There's also feedback.

This time around I look at racist rabble-rousing, not in the Australian Parliament but in the southern USA in the 1960s with 1963's Roger Corman directed movie The Intruder starring William Shatner, then we hit 1970 for one of Mel Brooks' least known movies, the Russia based comedy: The Twelve Chairs. 

Also, feedback.

Hi cinephiles. This time around, thanks to Patreon supporter Maurice, I look at the 1942 anti-Nazi comedy To Be Or Not To Be, directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Jack Benny and Carole Lombard, then we go totally in another direction, namely 1990s action cinema for Tony Scott's 1991 action flick The Last Boy Scout starring Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans, with a script from none other than Shane Black.

Also, there's feedback and music. Enjoy!

This time one of the podcast's Patreon patrons, Tom Dale from Canberra and I talk about a couple of dramas from the 40s and 50s. We start with Carol Reed's The Third Man from 1949 starrign Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton, Alida Valli and Trevor Howard then we hit 1954 for The Country Girl, a stage drama starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and William Holden. Also there's feedback and a bit of a bonus at the end and I talk about retrieving lost song lyrics from the memory vault.

It all adds up to almost two hours of fun, one of the biggest episodes ever.
