There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that that's all some people have? It isn't much, but it's better than nothing in this cockeyed caravan.

SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS (1941) | dir. Preston Sturges

Midnight Mary

Loretta Young doesn’t have the fervent following of classic Hollywood actresses like Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford or Barbara Stanwyck. Yet there’s often a freshness and openness to her work, particularly in her early films, that’s utterly disarming. In her best work, the studio-trained actress seems to be drawing on her instincts rather than the cliches used by too many studio actors. She’s immensely appealing in William A. Wellman’s MIDNIGHT MARY (1933, Criterion Channel, TCM).

Although originally written (by Anita Loos, Gene Markey and Kathryn Scola) for MGM stars Jean Harlow and Clark Gable, the pre-Code film seems to be a Warner Bros. picture that wandered onto the MGM lot. The only MGM actors with leading roles are Franchot Tone, as a society lawyer, and Una Merkel, as a childhood friend of Young’s who joins her in the life of a gangster’s moll. Wellman and cinematographer James Van Trees were borrowed from Warner’s, while Young and gang chief Ricardo Cortez had previously been at that studio.

The film opens with a sleek, sophisticated Young (thank you, Adrian) on trial for murder. As she awaits the verdict, she thinks back to her past as an orphan unjustly accused of shoplifting, unable to find work and drawn to crime with Cortez and his band of crooks. When a casino holdup goes wrong, Tone saves her from the police and helps her start a new life as a stenographer at his firm. But she can’t hide from her past for long.

Wellman keeps things moving with vertical wipes and, toward the end, newspaper headlines to compress the action. He always got good work out of Young (they made five films, though she often didn’t get what they were about). He also works well with Merkel, who deserved bigger roles, and Tone, who had to take a back seat to the less talented Robert Montgomery at MGM. If you’re quick, you’ll also spot Andy Devine, Charley Grapewin, Halliwell Hobbs, Louise Beavers and Robert Grieg in the cast.

05x14 - Cock Up

TW: Racism and men being men of the 80's...!

Reg is dressed in a full referee kit whilst he practises his discipline in the mirror. He pretends to book Bryan Robson (at the time, Robson played for Manchester United and England.) He's the referee for the Inter School's five-a-side challenge which is being supported by Sun Hill as part of a Youth And Communities initiative of Brownlow's.

Bob is amused to find him threatening his reflection with a red card. Alec tells Bob that Reg was spouting off about the Police being society's referee in the canteen. Bob claims Reg is only the referee because he's the only one they know who had his own kit.

Brownlow, Yorkie, Tony and Taffy are also in attendance. Charles is dressed in full uniform for his speech and picture opportunity. Bob's youngest son, Danny, is playing for Medway Comprehensive. Brownlow tell the uniformed officers that it was good of them to volunteer to support the cause. Taffy scoffs as he walks off. "Volunteer? More like pressganged!" Alec can only stay for half an hour because he's promised his wife that he'll put up shelves for her. "You've got more shelves than anyone I know!" Bob laughs. Taffy playfully mocks him for being under the thumb. Alec wouldn't have it any other way. [Gif is Taffy's reaction to Brownlow's speech.]

Burnside is not happy about 'a bunch of louts kicking a bag of wind' meaning that the station has ground to a halt. Tosh claims it's all public relations but Burnside isn't appeased. He says there's a crime committed in London every 7 seconds and public relations will only improve when the police's record for catching criminals does.

At full time, Danny Cryer's team have lost and their supposed top scorer was off his form. As if it couldn't get any worse, Bob is left with the thought of Reg going off to the changing room to rub liniment into his calves. Bob and Reg overhear the Medway Comp boys having a row in the changing room and stop the boys fighting. Danny tells his dad that it was just an argument and not to worry about it but Bob won't let it drop as he heard Danny accuse the so called star player of being on drugs.

Bob takes 'the loud whisper' of information to Derek once he returns to the station. He admits Danny doesn't want to grass on his friend but if there's a chance that cannabis or worse is being dealt in the school then he can't let it drop. His main suspect, Colin Mellor, was clean last time he was raided by the Drug Squad. Derek invites Frank into the chat. Frank knows Mellor as a 'cocky scumbag who isn't known for keeping a low profile.' He agrees with Bob that it's likely he is supplying the drugs at Bob's son's school. He's angry that Mellor got off last time, claiming the Drug Squad cocked up and he had prior notice. Derek reminds them they need evidence. Frank says he'll put the shop under surveillance. Derek promises him he can use who he like from Uniform - just get Mellor and play it by the book.

Alistair sits outside the shop, hidden from view in one of those tents that workmen used to use on the streets. He's really not happy!

He documents Albert Johnson leaving Mellor's shop and meets Frank in a nearby café to update him. Alistair tells him that Johnson was nicked for dealing when he was at West End Central approx 18 months ago.

Reg reads the report of the football match out to the boys, oblivious to the fact they're laughing at him. He's genuinely proud and wants to send a copy of the article to his mother. He doesn't get what's funny.

Frank takes surveillance pictures to Reg for him to use his collator skills to locate the people in them. Reg recognises one as a pupil from Medway Comp who was cautioned a few months ago for possession of cannabis. He does however let himself down however by saying that 'could make a serious mistake with her!' She's 16, Reg! (oh the 80's!). Alistair reports that the girl frequently hangs around the shop during lunchtimes with different friends each time.

Frank arranges to arrest the girl as an inning to Mellor to avoid getting their fingers burnt again should he get wind of what they're planning. Frank and Derek lead a joint uniform and CID briefing to update everyone on Mellor. They're pinning their hopes on the girl having drugs on her - and also informing on Mellor.

Assorted officers get into place outside Mellor's shop and watch him unload a cash and carry delivery. Taffy sits in a lady's house observing Medway Comp's playground and Yorkie and June sit in a van ready to arrest the girl. This time it's Malcolm and Pete sat in the little tent (with Pete accusing Yorkie of brownnosing Bob)

The girls soon appear and Taffy follows them to the shops. June spots Johnson approaching the store too and Yorkie calls it through to Frank. The girls go inside the shop and are out within seconds, heading up the High Street. June spots a problem - a group of teenage boys from Medway School are approaching the girls and calling out to them. Yorkie tries to tell Frank that there's a problem, but Frank won't listen - he orders them to move in and arrest the girls.

With no choice they get out and identify themselves as police officers (but only verbally - no showing of warrant cards) and ask the girls to step into the van. The boys gallantly step in and tell them to let go of the girls, telling Yorkie and June to show them their Warrant Cards if they're really police. June says they don't have to show them to them. Frank orders Pete and Malcolm to go intervene. Pete literally ends up picking one young girl up to get her into the van as the boys fight against them to get them to let them go. One of the boys snaps 'Coconut' at Malcolm and tells him he's not a police officer. STILL none of the officers have shown any warrant cards to calm the situation down. "Aren't I?" Malcolm scoffs, grabbing him and pushing him into the van along with his friend who protests it. Honestly - they know the scene needs clearing quickly with minimal fuss. It could have been sorted a lot sooner and it shows some usually intelligent officers acting very stupidly!

Johnson is observed watching the van by Burnside who urges the officers to drive off. Thankfully they do but it's not enough, he's rattled and runs to tell Mellor. Bob reports they've been sussed so Frank yells at everyone to get in the shop before they lose potential evidence. The PC is ineffectual at breaking through the shop doors with a sledgehammer so Frank literally snatches it and starts slamming it into the doors himself.

At the station the four teenagers are brought in with the boys still kicking off. Pete pushes one of them into a wall and growls at him to behave. The other shouts at Tom that he'll have them for assault. The girls protest their innocence and claim they haven't got any drugs on them. Tom tells them that they're going to be strip searched and June drag the first girl - the main target - off. The second is obviously quieter and more nervous. She seems a little hesitant of her date of birth too when Tom asks for it.

Mellor is amused as Frank oversees the shop being searched. He claims he's going to see Frank walking the beat after messing up again. Frank snaps at him and sends Alistair out to check his car over.

Viv tells the younger and more nervous girl to 'put whatever she has on the side and just give them a statement'. She doesn't understand and insists she still hasn't got drugs on her. She digs into her pockets and brings out the contents - cigarettes. "We were buying fags, that's all, I swear!" Viv doesn't believe her and orders her to undress. The girls father reports to the front station and is shown through by Tony. He's obviously furious and asks Tom what the hell he thinks he's doing. Tom tells him why his daughter was arrested and that she's being strip searched. Her father is horrified and claims that they need his consent for that. Tom starts to say that his daughter is over the age of consent - but is interrupted. The girl is only 15.

In the FME's room the girl tearfully redresses. "I told you!" Viv snaps at her to be quiet because they know she had been buying dope from Mellor. She protests her innocence again. June knocks on the door and asks Viv if she's found anything - both girls are clean.

Mellor and Johnson continue to enjoy Frank's officers finding nothing in the search. Johnson tells Frank he's going to report him for breeching his civil liberties. "You try stirring things up for me sunshine, you step on the cracks in the pavement and I'll have you inside." Mellor gloats that he has a number of charges he can take up against Frank. Frank almost assaults him with Alistair stepping in and telling him to leave it.

June and Viv feels awful for what has happened to the young girls, telling Pete that the younger of the two lied abut her age because she thought she'd been arrested for buying cigarettes. Pete is unrepentant, telling June it'll teach her for lying. June worries that Brownlow is going to make an example of them because the head teacher has also been on as well as the girls father shouting blue murder. Viv admits that somewhere along the line they were all a bit out of order. "We were all acting under orders!" Pete reminds her.

"It's how you carry the orders out that counts, not who gives them." Yorkie glares at Pete who mocks him for being a suck up to the bosses.

"I was watching you, Ramsey! Don't forget that!"

In CID Frank is fuming about Mellor and claims that in 20 minutes of them leaving he'll be set back up again. He wants Tosh involved too and claims they'll watch him for as long as they need to. Alistair reminds him that there's no way the bosses will allow that. Tosh has to tell him that Derek wants to see him in his office - NOW!

REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST: She could do Everything: Opera, operetta, burlesque, music hall and comedy! One critic called her "the Patti of light entertainment". The British stage artist Florence St. John was one of the most influential theatre figures of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. She shone as Offenbach's Périchole, Grande-Duchesse and Madame Favart, celebrated triumphs at the Savoy Theatre in the works of Gilbert & Sullivan and was the eternal Nell Gwyn in a popular play by Robert Planquette about the life and love of the legendary mistress of Charles II. In the 1890s, the artist made several guest appearances in the United States. Florence St. John was married four times; she was 14 years old when she married for the first time. She experienced violence and passion; her biography provides material for several novels. The artist, born Florence Margaret Grieg, died at the age of 56 and was buried in Golders Green Cemetery in London.

Wednesday, 12-11-24, 7pm Pacific

'Evenin', all...Mr. Baggins back with a set to soothe our achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night. I thought we'd start this evening off with the music of Frederick Delius. We'll hear his "The Walk To The Paradise Garden" from A Village Romeo and Juliet. Sir John Barbirolli conducts the London Symphony.

Next we hear Vaughan WIlliams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Iona Brown is soloist with Neville and the rest of The Gang doing backup duty.

Here is a little piano piece by Edvard Grieg, one of his Lyric Pieces, we hear the Notturno, Op. 54, No. 4. Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes does the honors.

Next we hear Fritz and The Band from 1956 in Richard Strauss' "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Op. 60 (Der Bürger als Edelmann)" Settle back for the next half hour or so for some incredible musicianship!

Every time I hear Reiner and The Chicago, I'm just in awe. And the same goes for Lenny with The Vienna. The Vienna's famous string sound has stayed consistent for decades through conductor after conductor...they have a certain sonority that just isn't made anywhere else! Let's hear them in the symphony that Beethoven called his "slender greek maiden wedged between two Titans", the "Titans" being his 7th and 9th Symphonies. Let's hear this "slender Greek maiden" of a Symphony, the Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93. Recorded Live in November '78.

Now let's hear them play Brahms' Variations on a Theme By Haydn, Op. 56a.

Staying with Brahms, here is the truly excellent Camerata Pacifica from Santa Barbara, playing Brahms Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115. Recorded February 16, 2023 at Zipper Hall, The Colburn School, Los Angeles.

As a Brahmsian encore, here is Guiomar Novaes with Brahms' Intermezzo in B-flat minor, Op. 117, No. 2. Gorgeous piece, gorgeously played!

Here is an interesting piece for oboe, Arizona composer Robert McBride plays his "Quintet for Oboe and Strings, written in 1937. We hear Robert McBride, oboe, and the Coolidge Quartet: William Kroll, violin I Nicolai Berezowsky, violin II Nicolas Moldavan, viola Victor Gottlieb, cello; recorded October 27, 1939. A quirky and lighthearted bit of fluff to round out the evening!

And that wraps up our program for this Wednesday evening. I do hope you've enjoyed the selections I picked, and possibly heard something new to your ear. This is Mr. Baggins, signing off for now, I wlll return at 8am Pacific with our Morning Coffee Music.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.

On Set Production

Creative Exercise 1 - Production Design Research

When asked to research set decor, I knew it would be criminal for me to even think about writing my blog post about anything other than The Lighthouse. I am maybe, quite possibly, Robert Eggers biggest fan and a huge part of my admiration towards him is the extraordinary thorough research he does in order to make his films as accurate as possible. This is hugely evident in every little detail of The Lighthouse, but is especially prominent in the production design.

The enveloping realism of The Lighthouse is awe inspiring to say the least. It is incredible that a black and white film, shot in 1. 19: 1 with an extremely ambiguous narrative and fantastical symbolism can be this staggeringly immersive. You feel as if you are also cramped into this flooded, alcohol drenched hovel along with these two crazed wickes. You can almost feel the glacial sea foam and smell the overflowing bedpan. This is all thanks to Robert Egger’s and Craig Lathrop’s inspired artistic influences and drive to make this film as accurate as possible. It feels less like a film and more of an open window into the past.

To keep it rigidly authentic to actual lighthouses in Maine in the 1890s, the production design crew pulled off the grand feat of building the lighthouse, keeper’s house and fog signal house from scratch. This has been widely celebrated, as such an impressive set should be, but the true appeal of studying this particular film’s set design is in the smallest details.

The peeling walls of handcrafted buildings are all expertly designed to give a weathered, wind-beaten aesthetic without leaning too much into the overdramatic. In an interview with the SDSA for Set Decor Magazine, Egger’s states “Craig and I were very careful about patina. I think a lot of times, even the best scenic painters are conditioned to that kind of horror movie logic where you’re aging every crack and corner, which isn’t really how things work, you know.” If you look closely, most of the artfully created paint decay originates at the tops of the doors, where the damp from harsh rain would have run down the doorposts. This laser-sharp focus on detail is what sets this film apart from the rest in creating its deep immersion.

Eggers also talks in this interview about how the furniture was created to not only be absolutely authentic, but to create scale. As much as he states he is, “Not a fan of Dr. Caligari”, Egger’s utilizes this German Expressionist favored technique of distorting space with furniture by making Robert Pattinson’s character too big for the room he is in, therefore making him feel extremely out of place in this setting. Egger’s says “Those chairs were kind of small. Dafoe is a little bit smaller than I am, and so we wanted it to be like the perfect size for Dafoe, and for Rob to feel a little bit too big in this lighthouse.” This is one of my favourite set design techniques in cinema and I think both Eggers and Ian Grieg (set decorator) do a fantastic job of utilising it

OTD in Music History: Important "Golden Age of The Piano" concert pianist and pedagogue Wilhelm Backhaus (1884 - 1969) makes his very first recording, in 1908, at the age of 24. Backhaus’s recording career spanned more than sixty years -- from his first (acoustic) discs made in 1908, to his final (stereo) recordings made in 1969. In 1909, Backhaus became the first soloist to ever record a “concerto” when he recorded a *highly* abridged 6:00 minute version of Grieg’s famous Piano Concerto (1868). Then, in 1928, he also became the first pianist to record the complete catalogue of Etudes by Frederic Chopin (1810 – 1849). Backhaus was particularly admired for his interpretations of W.A. Mozart (1756 – 1791), Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827), Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856), and Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897), and he was also a highly respected chamber musician; his recordings of Brahms’s Cello Sonatas with cellist Pierre Fournier (1906 - 1986) are legendary. PICTURED: A c. 1910 real photo postcard, showing the young Backhaus in a rather regal standing pose. This card, which was actually mailed in 1911, features a cryptic and amusing handwritten message (addressed to a “Miss Ruth Scott”) on the back: “I am sure you will be glad to see this creature’s face again!”
