Season 2: Episode 45 - 2 FOR ONE: The Stepford Wives (1975) / Get Out (2017)

Stepford Wives (1975)
 
Based on the Ira Levin film with script by William Goldman, Bryan Forbes science fiction horror film has received its well-deserved cult film status.  It has even penned the term, Stepford Wife. 
 
Bryan Forbes would over saturate the film with light and give it an over cheery appearance.  All the filming was done on location with no sets built for the film.  The film would suffer from numerous rewrites with a horrific ending rewritten at the last minute and not to Goldman’s appreciation. 
 
The film would star Katharine Ross, Paula Prentiss, Peter Masterson, Nanette Newman and Tina Louise.  A special note is that this is Mary Stuart Masterson’s first film as the daughter of Eberhart.
 
Get Out  (2017)
 
Written, directed John Peele, this film gives a nod and update to the Stepford Wives but changes it so it is minority lead social message.  After being pitched the film, Peele would write the script in two months.
 
The film exposes liberal ignorance and hubris are allowed to fester.  It's an attitude, an arrogance which in the film leads to a horrific final solution, but in reality, leads to a complacency that is just as dangerous.
 
The film would star Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Christine Keeler, Bradley Whitford and Erika Alexander.  The film would go on to be nominated for Academy Award, Golden Globe and a Screen’s Actors award.

Season 2: Episode 44 - BOOK TO SCREEN: Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
 
Roman Polanski written and directed American debut based on the novel by Ira Levin was a box office smash.  Polanski would lift dialogue and scenes from the book for his script.
 
William Castle originally took the galley proofs to Robert Evans, head of production at Paramount.  He already a few successes under his belt such as The Odd Couple and Barefoot in the Park.  It was agreed that William Castle would act as producer and Robert Evans went after Roman Polanski for the role of director. 
 
After Polanski read the book, he jumped on board and cast Mia Farrow, John Cassevetes, and older actors such Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans, Elisha Cook, Peggy Kelly and Charles Grodin to round off the cast.  The film is an inspiration for all film buffs and the book is still selling extremely well to this day.  Ira Levin wrote a sequel to the book in 1997 called ‘The Son of Rosemary’ which sold well but was a critical failure.

Season 2: Episode 42 - ALFRED HITCHCOCK: Vertigo (1958)

Vertigo (1958)
 
This American film noir psychological thriller from directed Alfred Hitchcock is based on the novel D’entre les Morts (From Among The Dead) by Boileau-Narcejac.  The film would cast James Stewart and Kim Novak in the lead roles.
 
It is the first film to use the dolly-zoom  (camera effect to distort perspective to give a dizzying effect) which is now known as the Vertigo effect.  The film used extensive on location shooting in San Francisco and would become a love letter to this American city. 
 
The final script would be written by Samuel A Taylor (Sabrina Fair, Legend).  Critics have interpreted Vertigo variously as "a tale of male aggression and visual control; as a map of female Oedipal trajectory; as a deconstruction of the male construction of femininity and of masculinity itself; as a stripping bare of the mechanisms of directorial, Hollywood studio and colonial oppression; and as a place where textual meanings play out in an infinite regress of self-reflexivity.

Season 2: Episode 40 - BOOK TO SCREEN: Sybil (1976)

Sybil (1976)
 
Sybil is the true story of Shirley Ardell Mason, a woman with sixteen different personalities.  In order to secure her anonymity. The book and two part film, starts with Sybil blacking out and it slowly unfolds to reveal the separate personalities and is a close representation of the book by Flora Rheta Schreiber.
 
Using extensive therapies which include amobarbital and hypnosis, Cornelia B Wilbur would diagnose her as having disassociated identity disorder.  The book was a bestseller and would become a very successful television film on NBC in November 1976 earning Sally Fields an Emmy and the film would win a special Peabody Award.
 
After everyone who was involved with the Sybil story died, a couple of people have argued about the legality of the “Sybil” case.  People who knew Shirley Ardell Mason argue that the story is legit.  It is often queried why the people who discredit the story would wait until the death of Mason and Wilbur to come forward.  We may never know the true story but it is one of the most interesting true stories that we can’t help but explore the case of Sybil.

Season 2: Episode 37 - ALFRED HITCHCOCK: The Lady Vanishes (1938)

The Lady Vanishes (1938)
 
Written by Sidney Gilliant and Frank Launder and based on the book, The Wheels Spin by Ethel Lina White, Alfred Hitchcock’s last British film before moving to America is a sure fire winner.  It is ranked as the 35th greatest British film ever made. 
 
The film would deal with the lead up to World War II and dealt with espionage.  It would be the first motion picture for the two leads Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave.  The film would solidify David O’Selznick’s belief that Hitchcock was the future of cinema.  This film would lead him to go to Hollywood to film Rebecca and of course, we know what happens after this point.
 
The Lady Vanishes is a true classic starring some of the best character actors found in Britain.

Season 2 Episode 36 - 2 FOR ONE: Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) / Saved! (2004)

Monty Python’s The Life of Brian (1979)
 
Written by Monty Python (Graham Young, John Cleece, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gillam and Terry Jones) and directed by Terry Jones, this would end up being one of the most successful films of 1979.
 
After completing and releasing their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they were debating on what their next project would be. As they had a distrust for organised religion.  Looking at Jesus as not a comical feature and what Jesus is known for and spoke was not exactly comedy material but what about mistaken identity.  This would springboard The Life of Brian.  The film would be filmed in Tunsia and use most of the sets from the miniseries of Zefferelli’s Jesus of Nazereth even using most the crowd extras.
 
The film would court controversy and be banned in numerous countries.  Monty Python would use this in their advertising campaign to full effect. 
 
Saved!  (2004)                      
 
Directed by Brian Dannelly and written by Dannelly and Michael Urban, this film is a teen comedy touching on religion, ostracism, homophobia, teen pregnancy, divorce and disability.
 
The film was released with mixed reviews due to its subject matter but be successful enough to earn is cult status today.  The film has also spawned an off Broadway musical with the same name.  At the time, the film’s good reviews were from film critics whilst the Christian presses gave it negative reviews. 
 
The film stars Mandy Moore, Mary Louise Parker, Macaulty Caulkin, Patrick Fugit and Martin Donovan.  Love it or hated, this will be one film that will keep the controversy going.

Season 2: Episode 32 - 2 FOR ONE: The Thing (1982)/The Faculty (1998)

The Thing (1982)
​
Directed by John Carpenter with screenwriting duties going to Bill Lancaster, the film was initially released with very negative reviews and flopped at the box office.  It was one of the first films to gain an audience via home video.  The reason maybe is that aliens have become cuddly due to the release of ET the same year so the audience were not ready for a being that was nihilistic in tone.
 
The film since its release is now considered one of the science fiction or horror film ever made.  It has spawned sequels, copycat films and even a successful computer game.  The 1982 novelisation sold extremely well.
 
The film stars Kurt Russell, A Wilford Brimley, T K Carter, and Keith David.  Interestingly enough that the original film ‘The Thing from Another Planet’ is the film shown on the television in the ultimate horror icon films, Halloween.
 
The Faculty (1998)
 
Directed by Robert Rodriquez and written by Kevin Williamson based on an original script by David Wechter and Bruce Kimmel.  The film would be known as a mix of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing, Terminator, The Breakfast Club with a pinch of Stepford Wives.
 
Although it did well at the box office upon its initial release, the film has since been criticised for its lack of punch though horror and science fiction fans have given the film a cult classic status due to the many references throughout the film.  The film would go on to become a short-lived television series.
 
The film starred Elijah Wood, Salma Hayek, Piper Laurie, Jordana Brewster, Josh Hartnett, Robert Patrick and Famke Janssen.

Who Goes There? By John W Cambell (1938)/The Thing From Another World (1951) Directed by Christian Nyby
 
Sometimes referred as The Thing, this 1951 black and white picture from Howard Hawkes is a true cult picture.  Directed by Charles Nyby with a script by Charles Lederer (Gentleman Prefer Blonds, Front Page, His Girl Friday) and it is based on short story Who Goes There by John W Campbell.
 
The film reflects a post-Hiroshima scepticism about science and a negative view on scientists who meddle with things that should be left alone.  The film was a surprise hit and would in later years be added to the Library Congress as a film that is culturally important.
 
The film stars James Arness, , Margaret Sheldon, Kenneth Tobey and Robert Cornthwaite.  This film is considered one of the best science fiction horror films of the 1950’s.

The film would need to be cut by eight minutes due to violence to get a hard “R” rating.  The film has since been released with all scenes fully implemented in an uncut format.  Known to be a cornucopia for the eyes and ears though its use of sound and colour, Suspiria would take horror to a whole new level using these two devices to tell a story.

Season 2: Episode 26 - ALFRED HITCHCOCK: Frenzy (1972)

Frenzy (1972)
 
Known as the last great Hitchcock film, this 1972 film was the first Hitchcock film to show full on nudity and would turn the notch up from the violence we experienced in his earlier film Psycho.  Set entirely in England and using locations set around London as the scene, this film became a box office smash. 
 
Frenzy starred Jon Finch, Anna Massey, Billie Whitelaw, Jean Marsh and Barry Foster.  The script was written by Anthony Schaffer who would go on to write The Wicker Man and screenplays for Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile amongst others.  This is Hitchcock in all his finer tuned qualities to make this his penultimate film before his death.
