This week the society experiences the 1967 Disney spectacle The Happiest Millionaire, directed by podcast fixture Norman Tokar and starring Fred MacMurray, Tommy Steele, and Leslie Ann Warren.  Experience the breathtaking musical extravaganza through the eyes of Andy, or resident critic who going into this quite-lengthy film claimed to "not like musicals."  Or through the eyes of our historian, Michael Crawford, who once received the soundtrack on LP as a teenager for a birthday present.  Will their opinions hold?  Will minds be changed?  Tune in this week as we strengthen the dwelling of the Medfield College Film Society!

Billy Wilder is one of the greatest directors in cinematic history.  Here Jack talks about one of his gems, The Apartment.  The screenplay, the direction, the acting, and the cinematography are all remarkable and truly make this film timeless, despite being over 60 years old.  Will it be good enough for Jack to give it his top prize as best film of 1960, The Rewatch Oscar?  Download and listen to his take on this classic as well as all the other films from that year.

*Elevator dings* Here we are: a movie that seems like it was actually fun to make! Come on up for lovely Lemmons, adulterous abodes, and cataclysmic compacts. The person most confused by the film this week was: the executive poodle.

Sean and Brad review the 1961 classic The Absent-Minded Professor.   They talk about what flubber sounds like, what Brad's dunks, when he could dunk, looked like (hint: it looked like a white guy from 1961), and about 25 different parts of the basketball scene.  Is this one of the best basketball scenes in cinema?  We think it might be.

Next episode: Against the Ropes

Against the Ropes is streaming on the Pluto streaming service, but if you don't want to watch 25 ads about Otezla clearing your eczema, go borrow it from your local library.

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...

Barbara Stanwyck is a woman on trial for shoplifting, and Fred MacMurray is prosecuting her for the crime. They end up traveling together to his family home for Christmas, and Matt & Ashley talk about this gem of a classic movie in this year's first episode of our 12 Days of Christmas series!

In the second episode of Season 2, Noir Means Noir, Kyle is joined by director Michael Willer (of the Big Fat Gay Podcast) and stunt actor Danny Hernandez to discuss the behind-the-scenes drama and stylistic impact of the cynical and salacious masterpiece template of noir, Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity.

We are joined by a truly magnetic and unique voice in filmmaking, director/writer/actor Isabel Sandoval. She calls in from New York to discuss the film noir classic, Double Indemnity. Isabel has so much to cover on the craft of filmmaking. She discusses the power of the human face as a tool for storytelling, and why it so often leaves dialogue superfluous. She and April dissect Isabel’s latest film, Lingua Franca, and why all of her film’s center around women. Isabel also reveals her feelings on the current state of Filipino cinema, and why she wants to stay away from her films being labeled “poverty porn.” And lastly, Isabel shares her ultimate goal for her career; for her films to be considered their own film genre.

Episode 3 of Insurable Interest reviews Double Indemnity (1944) from an insurance point of view. Times have changed, but not that much; murder is still murder, and putting ketchup on a hot dog is still totally unacceptable.

Where to watch Double Indemnity:

• Available to rent or buy on Amazon Video
• Available to rent or buy on the iTunes Store

The Run-down on Double Indemnity:

Somewhat surprisingly, I don't think there are any insured losses in this entire film.
