| Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) with Christiana Benson | 28 Sep 2024 | 01:17:48 | |
Happy Autumn! We are ready for all things creepy, kooky, thrilling, and chilling this season...and what better way to kick it off than covering a horror story classic: Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! For this special episode, we are joined by Westmore family historian and great granddaughter of Ern Westmore: Christiana Benson. Christiana walks us through the techniques Wally Westmore used in special effects makeup to transform goodhearted doctor Dr. Jekyll into his evil persona Mr. Hyde. Once a heavily guarded cinema secret, we uncover all innovative artistry that made this look one of the most referenced of all time for this iconic character. We dissect our favorite scenes, brilliant acting by Fredric March and fellow cast members, and deeper meanings of this allegorical tale. What's your favorite interpretation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Do you have any must-watches this fall? Reach out and let us know at @oldsoulmoviepodcast on Instagram!

Happy Ja-noir-y Old Soul Family! We are kicking off the New Year by visiting an Old Hollywood favorite...Double Indemnity (1944)! This sordid tale was unlike any other in its day. Between themes of murderous schemes (from the murderer's perspective), sexual temptation, and manipulation, this film set the gold standard of noir entertainment...all while pushing the production code guidelines. We revisit an old favorite topic of the PCA and how Double Indemnity (1944) marked a turning point in classic movies. The prolific Billy Wilder's first thriller is one you can never forget. So create an alibi and come conspire with us as we spy into the lives of Walter Neff, Keyes, and the Dietrichsons...

| Laura (1944) | 05 Dec 2022 | 01:06:54 | |
Obsession, mystery, and MURDER - all of these themes and more are covered in our latest episode: Laura (1944)! In Otto Preminger's classic noir, we uncover the drama behind-the-scenes and analyze how the story's onscreen tangled webs of truths and mistruths unfold. We are so excited to celebrate this Noirvember winner with you before the holidays! And for those of you curious as to the origin of the Gene Tierney quote about her beauty, this reference was taken from a trivia note on IMDB : "According to his daughter Victoria, Vincent Price felt that Gene Tierney had as much to do with this movie's success as Producer and Director Otto Preminger's direction: 'In his opinion, it was Gene Tierney's 'odd beauty' and underrated acting ability that made 'Laura' so popular', she said. 'He felt her beauty was both timeless and imperfect.'" ...so it was Vincent Price who made that reference-mystery solved! | |||

It’s the mother of all screwball comedies…that’s right, we’re covering Bringing Up Baby (1938)! In celebration of Katharine Hepburn’s 117th birthday, we cover this classic romantic funny flick starring fabulous leading lady Katharine and one-of-a-kind leading man Cary Grant. With our guest host Colin Campbell, we break down the art of the screwball comedy and walk through our favorite laugh-out-loud scenes of this tale about a flighty heiress roping in a high-strung paleontologist to care for her pet leopard, Baby, while he attempts to secure a $1 million donation for his museum from her rich aunt. This beloved Howard Hawks film has inspired endless films through today and we are thrilled to finally give it its chance to shine!
