Podcast 26 This Weekend


This time around I'll be looking at three more films. The often forgotten 1948 film noir Road House starring Ida Lupino, Richard Widmark and that old friend of Paleo-Cinema Cornel Wilde, Secret of the Incas starring Charlton Heston, Robert Young and Yma Sumac, and that great victory of style over substance, 1968's The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway and Paul Burke.

Paleo-Cinema Podcast 24: Five Movies By Robert Aldrich - 1954-1956 - Cowboys, Indians, Private Eyes, Actors and Soldiers







This time around I'm looking at five movies made by Robert Aldrich between 1954 and 1956. They are Apache starring blue eyed Burt Lancaster as Massai, the last Apache warrior, Vera Cruz where Lancaster buddies up with Gary Cooper... for a while, Kiss Me Deadly which merges private eye film noir with Atomic Era McCarthy paranoia, The Big Knife which shows the disintegration of a movie star and Attack! which takes a raw look at the politics of war on a small scale.

Paleocinema Podcast 7








Here it is, numero siete. In this 'cast, I look at the first of my own personal Magnificent Seven action heroes pre-1980, examine The Big Combo, a kick-arse film noir from the 1950s and as a guilty and naughty pleasure, examine the 1975 or 1976 porn version of Alice In Wonderland, then end with a brief spiel about the movies I've watched since the start of 2008.
