Rome, Open City
We wrap up our series on the nominees at the 1947 Academy Awards for Best Writing, Screenplay with a conversation about Roberto Rossellini’s 1945 film “Rome, Open City.” It’s a powerful film and a great entry in the early days of Italian neo-realism. Anna Magnani and Aldo Fabrizi are the standouts, but it’s really the war-torn city of Rome that lends incredible authenticity to this dark war story. Great conversation. Check it out!
Listen NowThe Killers
We continue our series on the 1947 Academy Award • Best Writing, Screenplay nominees, looking at Robert Siodmak’s “The Killers,” adapted from Ernest Hemingway’s short story. It’s a thrill of a noir and gorgeous to boot. Plus, Burt Lancaster in his first film and Ava Gardner as a knockout femme fatale! Check it out and tune in!
Listen NowBrief Encounter
We continue our 1947 Academy Award Best Writing, Screenplay nominee series with a conversation about David Lean’s 1945 film “Brief Encounter.” Does the drama about a never-consumed affair warrant all the, well… drama? Or does it end up feeling dated and tepid? We go back and forth on this one. Great conversation – tune in!
Listen NowThe Best Years of Our Lives
We continue looking at 1947 Best Adapted Screenplay Nominees with William Wyler’s Best Picture winner, “The Best Years of Our Lives”. A magnificent film nailing the story of veterans struggling to reconnect with society after war. Check it out and tune in!
