and fittingly enough, on the week of her twenty fifth
anniversary event celebrating Venice Communications, she will be front and
center in this podcast because there are many things that
we are going to talk about that she has seen
or gone to that I did not or did not
in full. And it's been a lot of At this
time of year, the Royals are still playing, the Chiefs

(00:58):
are playing this college football. There's too much sports upstairs
and too little arts and entertainment downstairs for me right now,
but she'll take care of that. We've had a lot
of interesting times together, however, went to a great concert
featuring Marty Stewart the other night. We'll talk about that.
We have an upcoming concert. It's concert season for us

(01:19):
and me as well. I have another one coming up.
And we have a slew of entertainments, some well known,
some offbeat personalities, some super large, and some that you
probably don't know. And we'll pay tribute to Robert Redford,
that one you surely know as his impact on the

(01:39):
film industry and many many people's lives, of course celebrated
with his passing last week. But we've got some other
interesting things that you probably never would discover unless you
listen to this wonderful podcast that we will talk about here.
We've got Willie quiet and Charlie not even moaning very

(02:00):
much upstairs. We always like to I just like we
don't have much dog talk today, so I'm just tossing
in a little dog information for you. People will cry
out if they don't hear the words Willie and Charlie.
During the course of this podcast. You'll hear many other
names also, And it's all part of Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday,

Securities and advisory services offered through LPL Financial, a Registered
Investment Advisor member FINRA SIPC. We're here with doctor Brad
Widell from Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture. Staying
active and being active is part of a healthy lifestyle
and something to make you happy, but also maintaining the

(03:47):
level of fitness so that you can do it is important.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
We all want to perform better, whether we're ten moving
on to our next level of sports or whether we're
fifty wanting to maintain those sports. Staying in motion as
the case, but that motion isn't just the only part.
If our motion isn't balanced with our muscles, with our
joints and communicating through the nervous system, we are not
staying well. And that's where chiropractic can change your life.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And you have all kinds of things here at the
clinics to do that.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Lots of different touches and techniques. So if you're used
to traditional chiropractic, you are going to be amazed at
all the many different touches, techniques, therapies and state of
the art equipment that helps you perform better.

market your business to Kansas City's number one variety podcast,

(04:48):
contact us at Danny at Danny clinkscale dot com. Look
forward to working with you. Welcome back. As I mentioned
in the opening portion of this particular podcast, Jane is
about to celebrate her twenty fifth anniversary of her wonderful business,
Venice Communications storytelling for business. And I didn't even realize

(05:11):
I was thinking about this the other day while I
was working out that your business started literally just months
before we met, and it is the reason we met
because your first big contract was the Senior PGA Tour
and that was really right before we met. I mean, well,
we met once several years before, but only peripherally, and

(05:34):
I was married and Jane was in a serious relationship,
maybe on our way into getting married, so we didn't
pay much attention to each other. We're good people, not philanderers.
But anyway, you must be very excited about this particular
event with your vendors and clients and things like that.
And also I've seen the photo montage video and that

(05:56):
must be really making your heart warm to see that too.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, it's wonderful well, and funny thing that's true is
like the first client we picked off was the Teed
Waterhouse Senior PGA Championship where we ended up kindling because
we hadn't rekindled anything kindling our relationship. Can I say that?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I guess And.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
People will be there who were there when it all started.
So both your our relationship and my business sort of
blossomed together.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
And that is why Jane thought that this year was
our twenty fifth anniversary.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Getting confused, No, next year, I thought it was. I'm
getting confused.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
But anyway, and when she said it a couple of
times and I just let it go because it was
in connection with their twenty fifth anniversary event. So anyway,
we're very excited to have a wonderful event and per
the professionalism and exactitude of my bride there, many things
have been planned and are still being planned. Even as

(06:52):
we just about to start the podcast, a shipman of
Napkins came in that was supposed to be different from
the original ones, and they were not, but they still
look fine.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
They're fine. You know, sometimes you just say what the heck?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
And yeah, sometimes you have to say WTF. It's really
the phrase that some I can't remember what there is
a famous film that that's from a comedy. I think
you can hit me up if you remember what I'm
talking about. Well, let's talk first about Robert Redford, somebody
that I know you have great affection for. He once

(07:27):
was you know, he really became famous for being handsome.
I mean, that was really what launched his career. In fact,
he had to really overcome the fact that people didn't
take him seriously as an actor because they just said
he's a pretty boy. And he was a pretty boy.
I know that was but he eventually became so much more.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I was thinking about that a lot, you know, why
why he transcended that original kind of fleeting moment that
a lot of a lot of people have. I was thinking,
like Johnny Depp, you know, like here's a guy who
could have put himself on platforms like Redford did, but
he didn't, and things have not gone as well. And
he had the same ability to do that and brains.

(08:11):
But something about Redford, you know. But I have to say,
even back at the ones, you know, I know people
poop pooh the way we were that was an early
you know, but if you watch what he does with
that character, he is sort of that character, but he
transcends the pretty boy. Even in that when he's supposed
to be the pretty boy, he he goes way further.

(08:31):
I have had a crush on him my entire life.
What am I gonna say? What am I gonna say?
You know, Hollywood got this one right. You know, he
was just everlasting and then he went so far because
he had such an interest in independent films, in getting
away from the studio system. But then you know, he
knew how to use his celebrity in the best sense

(08:53):
of the word. He's fascinating, fascinating character. I've been watching
a lot of his interviews and his interest in nature
and the world and how development is encroaching upon all
of our fabulous, fabulous natural landscapes, which to me is
something that is more important than anything he's done. I'm
hoping that people who are involved with all those things

(09:14):
he was involved with keep that going. I mean, what
an amazing one person to do all the things he
did just so multi layered.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
And in the film industry, of course he'll be known
for all his great directorial work and his acting and
all the incredible movies that he start in, but also
for the sun Dance Film Festival, and you know, which
has become a launching pad for so many movies that
never would have been able to be seen or exposed

(09:43):
or become popular, and filmmakers who grew out of that
particular enterprise. I mean, just a really remarkable guy.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
And you know, just his narrations, you know, the narration
from River wents through it, just his voice. His voice
has been in our vernacular and from other people, men
and women. It's kind of like it's hard for him.
It's hard for me to accept the fact he's not
physically alive on this earth anymore. It's really a strange feeling.

(10:13):
I mean, I felt that way like Jimmy Stewart, you know,
all my favorites from a different era, but this one's
really hit me hard, crazy, to the point.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Where James turned to me last night and said, you know,
there's one thing that's wrong with Robert Redver's face. He
has a little bit of fat under his lower lip.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
And if you focused on it too much, you go. Man.
He had one one sort of not great feature on
that amazing face.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well. An amazing character certainly is Marty Stewart. He was
a prodigy. We talked about Marty several times on this podcast,
played with It. Was a high level musician from the
age of thirteen, playing concerts with famous people and has
carried on and of course was the sort of buck

(10:59):
O'Neal figure on the country music Ken Burns documentary telling
his stories. He has a country music museum as well,
but he is also an amazing musician still. And him
and his amazing band, The Fabulous Superlatives, were at the
Amerastar Casino. I was unfortunate that it wasn't a better venue,

(11:19):
but actually, actually have they have a nicer pavilion than
they used to. And the Fabulous Superlatives is a silly name,
but it's accurate.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Man. We had the best time. It's like great, great venue.
The sound was great. It was a little schlocky crowd,
I'm just gonna say it, but man, they came out kaboom.
They were ready. They did their hour and a half
and they they were fantastic. I mean different genres. You know,
obviously he's known for country, but he really goes into rock, blues, jazz.

(11:49):
I mean it's it's and some cool funky stuff, you know,
kind of retro Kotch crowdboy stuff.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
And I mean he's he's really got it all. Plays
guitar and mandolin and his band is his drummer, Handsome.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Harry, Handsome Harry.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Stinson, I believe his last name is. He is so
smooth on the kit. He's fast, but he looks like
he's half asleep back there, and I.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Mean he's like fred A Stare on the drummer.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Right. It's absolutely fantastic. Three of the four people in
the band and the sound engineer are in the Country
Music Hall of Fame, and I imagine Chris Scruggs probably
someday will be maybe, but he's young. He is the
grandson of Earl Scruggs. And so it was a great
show and I'm just I'll talk about it tomorrow on

(12:39):
Thursday Thursdays. If you get a chance to see Marty Stewart.
It wasn't full, you could have gotten a ticket, just
should do it. That was a fifth time I think
we've seen Marty Stewart, and we will go back. We're
going to see the Mavericks, I think for the eighth time.
Hopefully rolls better. Next month it's concert season for us,
and speaking of Virtuoso's, our next concert together after I

(13:01):
do my yearly journey to see thirty eight special at Sandstone.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
When is that?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
That's Friday? Oh God, it's ridy. I'm going by myself
and that's what I did last year. I went to Topeka,
so I just find them where they are and get
my little guilty pleasure. But the virtuoso banjo player and
other strings, but best known for his banjo is Bella Fleck.
He will be at the Kaufman Center, decidedly nicer venue.

(13:30):
This will be the first time we've seen him live
and in person. I've seen him perform many times when
we watch TV, and I can't wait to see what
kind of show it's going to be because he's been
doing everything in his career, from just playing straight bluegrass
country on the banjo to jazz with Bella Fleck and
the Fleck Tones and everything in between.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah, I'm quite excited. I mean, he and Away, He
and Marty are in the same category as great string musicians,
so you know it's just you know, these people light
up the stage. This will be very different. I'm excited, speaking.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Of excellence and good opportunities. Besides the fact that we
sat through the world record beating amount of film previews
on Saturday, we did get to enjoy the Imax re
release of Apollo thirteen, and wonderful film directed by Ron Howard,
who makes a little speech at the beginning, which is cool.

(14:26):
We saw him on but with Stephen Colbert one of
the Yes shows, and he's just a delightful character. Everybody
knows my unbounded enthusiasm for Ron Howard as a child
actor and a director and everything and a person. And
the only thing I'll say is is his biography with
his brother wasn't that great?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
It was okay, But yeah, they needed just him in
that one. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
I think maybe they did. Yeah, but Apollo thirteen certainly
stacked up. I didn't really even care or notice that
much about the Imax parts of it during for people
who want to go and the experience of it and
and sort of maybe get a sense of it, I
guess during the launches and the other thing, you had
to cover your ears.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
I know, at times they just over.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Rumbly and you felt the sensations in your seat. But
it's really more the story and the incredible acting and
the amazing ensemble cast of Apollo thirteen.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Oh my god, yeah, Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, I mean,
just an amazing that's the other guy's name, Bill Paxst.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh, Bill Paxton, those three who end up being on
the mission. And Gary Sinise plays the person who gets
scrubbed from the mission, and Kevin Bacon replaces him, and.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Then Hard Harris, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
And Ed Harris is the flight director. And they're just
a slew of actors who I'm looking at their names.
You don't recognize their names really, but you recognize their
faces as character actors through the years. And Kathleen Quinlan
as wonderful as Jim Lovell's wife. That's Tom Hanks's character.
And Gary Sonise is great as Ken Maddingly. And what

(16:00):
I didn't remember was he walked on the screen. And
Gary Sonie has been a fine actor for a long
long time. But I was taking it back, I go, wow,
I didn't remember how handsome that guy was.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I did.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
I did Blue Eyes and yes, and in you know,
in Astronaut shape.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Astronaut shape, it.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Was every bit is if you can take.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
A movie with you pounce able girls, pounceable, well.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
You absolutely know everything that was going to happen. Even
then when it was released, you knew the story. But
of course now you've seen the movie, you know everything
that's going to happen in it, and it's still compelling.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
The tension in the control room is amazing to me.
It's like it's you're right there, like when they're trying
to make decisions, when all hell breaks loose, like all
those guys are like like, we're all in it together.
Ron brings you into the scene like we're all in
that in that control room together. It's just it's just phenomenal.
And it's so amazing that they got him back when

(16:58):
you really think about it is amazing.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
It is amazing, and it's so we're so lucky that
it did happen that way, because I don't think they've
made a movie about a crew that died. I don't
think they've never made a movie about the crew that
got burned up on the launch pad, so which is
referenced often in the movie, and it's a period piece,
well done in that regard with the costuming and everything.
It's just a really wonderful and certainly worth I don't

(17:24):
know how long it's going to stay around in Imax,
but go see it in Imax or go branted on
your home TV. You know, I said to a good
friend of mine, you know, this movie is good. Even
though it's a space movie and their special effects and
launches and everything, you could watch that movie in a
twelve inch black and white TV.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
And yeah, it's about the story.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
It is about the story. And we've got many stories
to tell, and Jane's going to be telling a lot
of them as We've got some offbeat entertainments and real
suggestions of things you might not have discovered otherwise. Coming
up next, it's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday Presented by Strategic Partners, Inc.

the role Of Pauline kale here for a while on
this particular. Show if you don't, Know Pauline kale's probably
the most, famous one of the most famous film critics
of all, time and certainly the most famous female film
CRITIC i. HAVE i have two books of her reviews

(21:02):
upstairs And pauline AND i disagree often about, movies BUT
i respect your writing AND i respect her thoughts about movie.
Making and So jane's stepping into her shoes because there's
a few things here THAT i either saw very little
of or. NONE i suggested a, couple including The, murderers

(21:25):
are among. Us and this is A United kingdom, film
and it was one of the first Post war Two german,
films and they're Called it was put in the you,
know film noir category With Eddie muller On turner classic.
Movies these are called rubble, movies and they're based on

(21:46):
the fact that they're about right After World War two
and these countries and cities and, whatever you, know rising
from the rubble or trying to rise from the. Rubble
and this is about that In berlin After Germany's feet
and all the things that go on with one man
and the things he, experiences and so.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Tell us about it, well and the rubble in this.
Case AND i think in a lot of those rubble
movies is that used as a backdrop for the, story
and this one is for. Sure it's really. Compelling it's
about a doctor who was forced to commit and see
atrocities as A. Nazi he was forced into being A,

(22:27):
nazi or was presented to him that you must, be
so to, speak and so he is haunted and HAS
ptsd from the things he, saw especially from his commander in,
chief and he's basically run himself ragged as an. Alcoholic
and this woman who comes back as a concentration camp,

(22:50):
survivor he's actually in her. Apartment so they start a
relationship based on this amazing, history and it's about him
trying to overcome his demons and her trying to overcome
what happened to her in the face of this person
that's in front of. Her but the whole angst about

(23:14):
it all is is he wants retribution and runs into
is the leader of the area that he was in
all superior, office superior. Officer really phenomenal, film really worth.
Seeing it's a little bit dated but, instilted but it's
really worth the moment if you are into old black

(23:35):
and whites From World War.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Two the woman is played by Hildegarden. Nef she actually is.
Known she came to The United states and didn't have
a tremendously successful, career BUT i recognize her, name for,
instance and.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Her book that she wrote when she's back In germany
is one of the all time best time besting books In.
Germany she's a hot number. There really. Phenomenal this is
her early early career in this.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Film, yeah it's like third The bible and mindcom for
something to.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Check quite an Interesting german.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Career, Right so that is called The murderers are Among.
Us and if you're a fan of the film noir,
series especially on they're going to do several of these
kind of rubble movies over the next few weeks With Eddie. Muller.
Next our next film art film is called You Pronounce
It Love, Ura There We Go and this is a

(24:25):
nineteen sixty drama film directed By Michelangelo. Antonioni WHEN i
was back writing review film, REVIEWS i did a review
of his best known, film Blow, up which is really
an outstanding, film but he makes more offbeat type of,
Films and this film Is i'll read something to you

(24:47):
That jane hasn't heard after we get her take on
the film as Our Pauline kale here. Today so this
is a movie that is very, different shot in a
very different, way and has a differ, story arc and everything.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Else, yeah it's a scores asy top ten that's WHY
i caught onto. It and brilliant, cinematography gorgeous, actors great,
actors very unusual plotline because it's really not you'd really
never there's no sequence that you ever feel like anything

(25:24):
comes to. Finale it's like you're sort of in the
midst of situations and circumstances between a man and a
woman and another man and a, woman and you're, like
where's this going to? Go but it all takes place
in these amazing. ISLANDS i don't know what off the
coast of what this is you probably know. Total it's

(25:47):
just it's worth watching just because it's sort of breathtaking
and visually. Stunning but don't think you're going to get
a big ending, going oh NOW i know what that
was all.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
About, no it's about like sexual relationships that go no,
where and so you, know it's, like well that.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
Story in.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Sixties in the sixties that was very sort of. UNDERCOVER i,
mean you know that's going, on but you don't really
see it fully and it's, uh at first you think they're,
murderers and in the end there's just relationships and one
woman just never you. Never finally you find out whether
she throws herself off the island because she knows the
guy she's in love with is really in love with

(26:27):
her best. Friend you just don't.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Know, WELL i thought it was really interesting to read,
this And i'm just going to read. It it's only
three short. Paragraphs so this Is Roger ebert's take on this.
Movie when you pronounce it was, released it became a
joke to refer to in tony oni nui is a

(26:49):
word and Toni oniui and we are On we whichever
you want to pronounce. It at its premiere at The
Canfilm Film, festival the audience, boom but it won The
Jury prize and became a box office success all over the.
World it was the most pure and stark of several
films about characters who drifted in existential limbo In. America

(27:11):
it came at a time when Beat nick's cultivated, detachment
when modern jazz crept kept an eye ironic distance for,
melody when it was hip to be. COOL i did
not much connect with the film WHEN i first saw.
It how COULD? I i was, eighteen Says. Ebert these
people were bored by a lifestyle beyond my wildest. Dreams
WHEN i taught the film in a class fifteen years,

(27:33):
later it seemed affected and, contrived a feature length, idea
but not a. Movie only recently seeing it again DID
i realize how much clarity and Passion antonioni brought to
the film's silent cry of. Despair his characters were parasites
whose money allowed them to clear away the distractions of, work, responsibility,
goals and purposes and expose the utter emptiness. Within that's,

(27:55):
True it is possible to be rich and, happy of,
course but for that you need a mind and. Interests
it is impossible to be happy simply because one is ceaselessly.
Entertained say the Name laventura becomes a place in our,
imagination a melancholy moral.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Desert you don't forget, It you'll never forget. It but
it's not for.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Everyone well something that a man who was something for
everyone kind of. Is there was this subject of a
fairly recent, Documentary The ghost Of Richard, harris and this
is really his story seen through the eyes of his
three grown up, sons who are all either actors or.

(28:39):
Directors and one. Thing i've always been struck WHEN i
see early pictures Of Richard harris and it doesn't seem
like and they went into disparate directions for the way they.
Look he looks just Like Richard burton when he was.
Young they look so much alike it's like.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
CRAZY i don't, agree but that's. Okay we all have very,
masculine masculine bodies and. Faces but he's much, taller much broader.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Shoulder When i've seen pictures of, him Sometimes i've gone
is That Richard burton or is That Richard.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
HARRIS i don't see, that but that's.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Okay, Anyway well this is called the reconciled. Differences but,
Anyway Richard harris was also renowned for being an absolute,
bounder as it, were wild. Drunk many stories about him
And Richard burton being in the same play and they
during their.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Like oh no that was that Was peter, O'tool peter.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
O'tool, right so all three of them were they'll miss
that drunk running mates. Exactly but he also was a fantastic.
Performer he was great on the. Theater of, course you
did the recording Of MacArthur, park which probably everybody has,
heard and just tell US i didn't. See, okay so

(29:53):
some of, it but just tell us what.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Thought this is a phenomenal. DOCUMENTARY i would say anyone
should see, it even if you don't Know Richard harris
or knew him From Perry, potter go back and see
his whole. Life fascinating he. Was he really was an
athlete and he could play. Rugby he played all these
other things that looked like some sort of pitch on
the you, know up against the up against the walls

(30:15):
of you, know In. Ireland he had a bad accident
and he had we got really really. SICK i can't
remember exactly. Tuberculosis, Yes so that, really to me is
the crux of everything about. Him but the bottom line,
WAS i don't even tell you that until the end
of the. Film we shouldn't even be saying. It but,
anyway but he found himself into acting and he trudged

(30:40):
through it and he fell in love with, it and
he fell in love with the spoken word because his
body really gave up on him when he was at
his best. Physically so you have this amazing physical character
who is this gorgeous, voice phenomenal, singer and he was
able to use it on and off throughout his. LIFE

(31:00):
i think he is one of the most warm and
sensual men on the. Screen he just surpasses when he
said his. Best but the poor, guy you, know what
are you gonna? Do what are you gonna? Do he
says that he loves to. Drink he never said he
ALWAYS i drank BECAUSE i loved. It and he never
has a bad word to say about all. That he

(31:21):
has a great story to say about all the debauchery
that occurred during his life with people Like peter. O'Toole
but there is a melancholy underlying sort of a lot of,
this AND i wish he had tried harder to keep
his form physically because he was just you, know he was.
PHENOMENAL i MEAN i remember as a kid a camel

(31:41):
And i'm, like who is this person with all this?
Talent you? Know and his sons are trying to reconcile.
It and that's what's so great about the film is
they go they go back to The, suns looking through
all this memorabilia in this giant, warehouse and they find
all these aha, moments which is really telling.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
IT i saw the end of, it probably the last
half hour forty, minutes and it's really compelling and. Enjoyable
and what you're taking away is, that, yes this man
was such a cad at, times but his sons really
admire him and you, know sort of idolize. Him, yes
and he's, just, yes a wildly talented person of the
hero where they felt compelled expected almost to be. CRAZY

(32:24):
i mean they thought, anyway, right of, course they didn't
have to be someone who's not crazy and is not a.
FAVORITE i don't dislike. Him Is Robert montgomery, actor and
so he acted and directed and produced for a long,
time and he was a leading man Before World War.
Two he sort of his career basically just barely got

(32:48):
Past World War. Two AND i like his, work BUT
i don't love. It And jane likes him more THAN i.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Do, okay this Is Elizabeth montgomery as In Bewitch. Dad,
yes exactly. Alike they look exactly. Alike the button knows
the whole round eyes. Everything he's just got A he's
got a little sinister grin in everything he. Does there's
something going on behind that little face of. His he's
not you, Know he's probably sent him a. Light but to,

(33:17):
me he has a place AND i always enjoy. HIM
i always, oh Here's. Robert every TIME i see him
on The, CREAMERS i want to watch. Him even though
he's not. Perfect as you, said he doesn't have a
perfect laugh screen, laugh but he brings an Interesting he
has great, timing especially in This Nolah. Coward Private, Lives.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
So Private lives is what inspired this. Conversation, Yes Robert
montgomery also did something completely. Unique. Uh anybody who's listened
to me do podcast and the like for a long
time know That Philip marlowe is my favorite fictional. Character
And Raymond chandler's my favorite, author the author Of The

(33:57):
Big sleep and several other not off if, Screenplays Double,
indemnity et. Cetera And Robert montgomery was a director and
starred in a film where he Played Philip. Marlowe but
you never Saw Philip marlowe basically except through the eyes
of other. Characters the film was shot completely through the
eyes Of Philip, marlowe like the camera was.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
His so everyone's facing the. Camera that thing drives And.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Disney, yeah it didn't work for. MOST i actually kind
of liked, it but the people are talking right at
the camera because the camera Is Philip. Marlowe but my.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Favorite one is WHERE i forget the name of somewhere
he is the killer in the house and he's the,
worker and it's just it unveils. It he's the killer
and he's so, good he's so got a camera what it.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
IS i actually, think to, me the lighter the, film
the better he.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
IS i, disagree BUT i think he is the perfect Like,
foyle because you'd never guess he is the, killer and
the guy's a little asshole on the little sidelines and you're,
going oh my, god he's the.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
One but, anyway, Anyway Private lives was a cult No
coward play and it was really only a year old
when it was made into a film in nineteen thirty.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
One it was This Noah. Coward Alan rickman played this
On broadway And i'm so SORRY i missed. It he
was a very short run before he passed. Away that
was a. Mistake i'm going to see IF i can
find it. Online and this.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Is sort of a romantic romp and that's kind of
a plot line that was often done about rich couples
who are about to divorce and eventually would reconcile and you,
know strayed from each other and. Whatever And Norma shearer
who was married To David. SELZNIK i think it Was,
Thalberg Thrving, thalberg that's. Right and you, KNOW i, thought

(35:38):
don't think she got credit for her career as, much
because everybody thought That Irving thalberg just put her in
movies because she was already and she was.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
Great she was already famous before they got. Together she
was in, silence she was.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
EVENTUALLY i think her reputation was. HURT i think because
they felt there was a lot of favoritism going on for.
Her but she's. Fabulous in this film as they play
the Battling bickerson's as it. Were but it's a fun
movie to try and absorb and enjoy for a couple of.

(36:11):
Reasons first of, all it's nineteen thirty, one so it's
pre code and they do things that after nineteen thirty
four you could never do in the. Movies and it's
Also Noel, carr who's one of the most famous playwrights.
Ever it's. Fun it was a fun. Movie, Yeah and
this was a fun episode With pauline With, Jane thank
