Obscure Classics

Podcast

For each podcast subject, there will be a unique questionnaire. There will of course be the usual “Best Film”, “Best Performance”, things like that, but there will also be questions that are specifically unique for that subject.

We want a big part of the podcast to come from you guys so that we have a lot of different opinions. So we ask you guys to fill out the survey posted here for each podcast. Just pick one choice for each category and then give a little reason why you chose it.

Please send the questionnaires to obscure_classics@yahoo.com . Don’t forget to include your names so we can say who its from on the podcast.

    Best Film – have to say Libeled Lady – great screwball comedy with a great cast. But my favorite is Red Headed Woman

    Best non-romantic costar – I have to go with Frank Morgan who played her father in Bombshell. However there really are too many choices.

    Best Leading Man-She appeared with Gable more than anyone but I have to go with William Powell. Powell was a graceful comedic actor with great timing.

    Best Performance – I always really liked her in Red Headed Woman, She was never more sassy or sexy.

    Best Character – Lillian Lil in Red Headed Woman

    If Harlow hadn’t died – Since this is fantasy I think she would have been good in the Judy Holiday role in Born Yesterday. Is she lived and if the film would have been made in the late 1930’s. But like I said this is fantasy.

    Hey I just listened to your AFI Top Ten podcast and I must say it was pretty darn good. Keep it up, Greg and Katie have great chemistry and you two never seem to clash with each other. So yeah keep making these awesome podcasts please!

    Katie,

    I’ve only seen two Kay Francis films: Trouble in Paradise and When the Daltons Rode. She was good in both movies but I don’t feel qualified to fill out a survey on her career.

    KAY FRANCIS

    my love for Kay Francis grows with every TCM recording I manage to get my deprived Quebecois hands on!

    can’t wait to hear this!

    * Best Film:
    Trouble in Paradise

    * Best Non-Romantic Costar

    * Best Leading Man
    William Powell

    * Best Performance
    so many great ones–but the way she stays pon top of things as Mariette Colet in Trouble in Paradise is pretty remarkable

    * Essential Scene
    I love her union speech in Stranded

    * Best Director Collaboration
    she actually worked with a lot of fantastic directors (Dieterle, Borzage, King Vidor)–but I suppose I’d have to vote for Lubitsch’s Trouble in Paradise

    * Best Character
    I’ll go off the beaten path here and vote for Dr. Carole Nelson in King of the Underworld (1939)! Warners may have buried her in b-movies during the late 1930s, but the Foy unit turned out some cracking films during that period, and this one really surprised me… she often played a professional, but never one like this–a fantastic opportunity!

    * If Warner Bros. hadn’t sabotaged her career, Francis easily could have transitioned into mature femme fatale roles in the 1940s. Which femme fatale of film noir would you most like to have seen Kay Francis play?

    Well, she DID play some pretty fantastic roles in the (self-produced) Monogram noirs of the mid-1940s (Allotment Wives!)… but, out of the really famous dark lady roles of the period, I’d say she would have been amazing as Brigid O’Shaughnessy in Huston’s Maltese Falcon… not that Astor wasn’t great, ’cause I think she was!
