"How to Steal a Million" (1966) - William Wyler

Films I've watched in 2022 (178/210)

Heiter verklärte Eisenbahnromantik in einer Ealing-Comedy, die wir noch nicht kannten. Es ist nicht die ausgefeilteste, dafür aber die erste in Technicolor. Die Einwohner beschließen, die Eisenbahnstrecke, die geschlossen werden soll, selber zu betreiben. War ja auch eine dumme Idee, diese Verstaatlichung.

Matlock (TV Series) S4/E12 ’The Buddies’ (1989) - Andy Griffith 

I use to love watching Matlock back in the day and this episode was pretty memorable. Must have been this sauna scene because everybody here, Hugh Gillin, Fritz Weaver and George Coe could have gotten a courtesy tap.

Came upon the purple plaque to Annie Hughes Griffiths today. She was a pioneer in the Women's Peace Petition movement 100 years ago - in which Welsh women petitioned the women of the USA to put pressure on their government to join the League of Nations (forerunner to the UN).

The impact of WW1 led many to feel an urgency to preventing war again. The work of Annie Hughes Griffiths is remarkable in this respect. Her entry in the Dictionary of National Biography is well worth a read for more information.

It was absolutely bucketing down today, though.

230 - Stage Beauty

Longtime listeners will know that a special space in our podcast lore is reserved for our first six timer, Claire Danes. This week, we return to her work in the opulent and forgotten Stage Beauty. The film cast Danes as a stage dresser who longs to be an actress in a time when women weren’t allowed on the stage, and opposite Billy Crudup as an actor celebrated for his performances in female roles. In an anemic year for Globes Comedy, it looked like the film could fall into a similar vein of the recently Best Picture awarded Shakespeare in Love, but this became a costume drama that the industry overlooked.

This episode, we get into the film’s surprisingly curious (if still dated) eye towards gender and Crudup’s playful performance, which might be his very best. We also dive into the gossip of Danes and Crudup’s onset affair in which Crudup left a pregnant Mary-Louise Parker, her winning Globes speech that very year, and the elusiveness of an Oscar nomination for Crudup.

Topics also include the unmissable Fleishman is In Trouble, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the National Board of Review’s Special Recognition for Excellence in Filmmaking catchall.

I couldn’t resist painting the wonderful Steve Martin and John Candy in my favourite Thanksgiving movie of all time, the glorious Planes Trains and Automobiles. It never fails to make me laugh - and cry 🥹

I’m not from the USA but I’ve been blessed to be asked to spend a few Thanksgivings over the years celebrating with American friends, and I know how special this day can be.

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate, and sending hope that no matter where in the world you may be, you get to spend your holidays with those you love the most. 🧡🧡🧡
