Season 2 - Episode 57 - BOOK TO SCREEN: The Other (1972)

The Other (1972)
 
Screenplay written by Thomas Tyron based on his bestselling novel of the same name and directed by Robert Mulligan (To Kill A Mockingbird), the story tells the sadistic relationship between two twin brothers, one who is well behaved and the other, a sociopath.  The role of the twin boys was played by real twins Christopher and Martin Udvardonky, the only time they were cast. 
 
Mulligan would state that Ada is the heart of the piece and she would teach the boys how to dream but this would be turned into something sinister in the minds of the boys.  The film was quietly released theatrically but has gone on to be considered a critics favourite.
 
The film would also star Uta Hagan, John Ritter, Victor (Little House on the Prairie) French, Diana (Dark Shadows) Muldaur and Jenny Sullivan.  Interesting note Christopher Udvardonky would die at the age of 49 on the same date as the film premiered on TNT on 25 October 2010.

Season 2: Episode 51 - SPECIAL EPISODE: Leaving Neverland (2019)

Leaving Neverland (2019)
 
The 2019 four hour documentary film produced and directed by Dan Reed, focuses on two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck who allege they were sexually abused by Michael Jackson. Riding on the coat tails of continuing the controversy surrounded with pop culture, the film takes an in depth and often hard look at the alleged sexual abuse.  Told in a chronological order, the film would spark social media rows of whether the allegations are true or a matter of fiction. 
 
At the time of recording, it has had an unprecedented effect on Jackson leading to some gut jerk reactions from removing him from popular television series and his music being played on the radio in some sectors.  It has also sparked an allegiance to the #metoo movement and created a backlash from life long fans against Robson and Safechuck. 
 
Interestingly enough, after the airing of the documentary in the UK and USA, Michael Jackson albums have increased in sales and his videos on YouTube have garnered more views than in recent issues. 
 
The world will never know the truth about Michael Jackson and alleged sexual abuse but we know that it has sparked debate, made us look at child sexual abuse and opened up communication concerning the issues the film raises.  Although the documentary is presented in a two men and their families sharing their version of events, the film is not two sided.  Like sexual abuse itself, it is very rare that evidence is ever evident and the dark cloud over Michael Jackson, the person, doesn’t look like it will ever truly disappear.
 
Opening Credits – Lost Boy by Ruth B taken from the album Safe Haven.
 
Closing Credits – Controversy by Prince, taken from the album Controversy.

Season 2: Episode 50 - ALFRED HITCHCOCK: Rope (1948)

Rope (1948)
 
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, screenplay by Arthur Laurents which is based on the true crime story of Loeb and Leobald who killed 14 year old Bobby Franks in 1924.  Before being a film, it was a successful play by Patrick Hamilton.
 
This is the first technicolour film of Hitchcocks and is known for being filmed in real time and edited to look as it is one continuous shot from beginning to end.  It is the second film that Hitchcock would film in a limited setting.  The film was shot using ten minute takes due to the size of the film canisters at that time and the set was the largest ever built for a film.  The set also encompasses a cyclorama which was in the background with lights coming on in the New York City background, the sun setting and clouds made from spun glass moving across the sky.
 
The film starred James Stewart and Farley Granger and is truly memorable for its one shot momentum.  Hitchcock makes two appearance in this film, see if you can spot them.

Season 2: Episode 49 - 2 FOR ONE: The Girl Next Door (2007) / An American Crime (2008)

The Girl Next Door (2007)
 
Based on a book by Jack Ketchum with a screenplay by newcomers Daniel Farrands and Phillip Nutman and directed by Gregory M Wilson, is a film that is very hard to watch but notable as it is loosely based on a true story.  Ketchum was so haunted about the story of Sylvia Likens whose aunt and neighbourhood children would torture, rape, beat and eventually kill her over the summer. 
 
The Girl Next Door is a hard hitting story that does not shy away from the situation that presents itself with an excellent performance by Blanche (Sixteen Candles) Baker as the diabolical Aunt Ruth.  The film does have its own retribution level that doesn’t happen in the real story with one of the children trying to save Meg from her Aunt. 
 
The film is very brutal and although this is a fictionalized account of the Sylvia Likens murder, it still gives a very strong punch.
​
​
An American Crime (2008)
 
One year after The Girl Next Door, Showtime produced and aired ‘An American Crime’ which tells the true story of Sylvia Likens murder.  Script by Tommy O’Havers and Irene Turner and directed by Tommy O’Havers.
 
This true story is the shocking tale of Sylvia Likens who was beat, raped, branded and killed by her aunt, cousins and neighbourhood children in 1965.  The film would have difficulty finding a distributor due to the subject matter but Showtime would show the film in 2008. 
 
The film would star an up and coming cast which included Ellen Page, James Franco, Evan Peters, Scout Taylor-Compton and an award winning performance by Catherine Keener. 
 
Opening Credits (.20); Introduction (4.49); Forming the Plot (29.11); Commercial Break (34.02); Film Trailer (34.32); Scene by Scene (36.52); Forming the Plot (1:20.39); Commercial Break (1:22.01); Film Trailer (1:22.50); Lights, Camera, Action (1:24.49); Epilogue (2:20.27); End Credits (2:25.12); Closing Theme (2:26.26)

​
Based on the book written by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry, they would come together with JP Miller to write the screenplay about the Manson Murders.  The crime that shook the country and is known for killing the hippy movement in two nights.
 
Tom Gries would direct this two part television film that would shock and stun American audiences for upping the violence and sex on primetime television.  This was also broadcast seven years after the initial crimes which was a gamble CBS was willing to take.  It was a hit in the ratings and would be released outside America with extra violence and nudity to theatres to become a theatrical blockbuster. 
 
The film shocked and stunned audience with its excellent star turns from Steve Railsback as Charles Manson and Marilyn (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) Burns portraying Linda Kasabian.  The film would be nominated for numerous awards and win the Edgar Allen Poe for best miniseries.

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.

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 41 - 2 FOR ONE: Unbreakable (2000)/Split (2016)

Unbreakable (2000)
 
Written, directed and produced by M Night Shyamalan, the film would be the second collaboration with Bruce Willis after the large success of The Sixth Sense.  Setting up the film in a three part story and to present it in this comic book format worked and created parallels to superhero graphic novels.
 
Using slanted camera angles, would give the film its comic book look.  The film also would use a colour scheme with Mr Glass in purple and David Dunn’s colour green.  This would be the fourth film which Jackson and Willis would appear together and as a note of interest, Julianne Moore was to play Dunn’s wife Audrey but dropped out to play Clarice Starling in Hannibal leaving the role open for Robin Wright Penn.
​
The third part of the Eastrail 177 Trilogy entitled Glass would be released in 2019.
 
Split (2016)
 
M Night Shyamalan came back from a questionable fair misfires to release a film dealing with split personalities which brought him back to the hit film fanfare that he experienced with Sixth Sense.  A horror, psychological thriller film, the film follows a man with 23 separate personalities. 
 
The film is a considered a standalone sequel to Shyamalan’s film Unbreakable and is considered the second part of the Eastrail 177 Trilogy.   The character of Kevin was written into the film Unbreakable but due to levelling out the film, were removed. 
 
This is the first film since The Sixth Sense to break box office records and to finish up as number one for three consecutive weeks.  The third instalment Glass will be released in 2019.

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.
