Ep. 73- An American in Paris (with Patricia Ward Kelly)

Download the episode.

Front Row Classics celebrates the 70th anniversary of one of the greatest movie musicals ever made. An American in Paris was a revolutionary film through its use of storytelling through music and dance. It still has the power to entertain seven decades later. We’re thrilled to welcome back Patricia Ward Kelly, widow and biographer of Gene Kelly, to help us celebrate and examine the film’s legacy. The episode covers the film’s inception, cast and creators. We’ll also hear personal insights into Gene’s creation of the legendary American in Paris ballet. We hope this episode will inspire you to go back and rediscover this timeless work of art.

FEATURING: Brandon Davis and Eric Flick.

Ep. 34 – A Star Is Born (1954)

Download the episode.

If you haven’t yet heard, there’s another remake of “A Star Is Born” that is blazing up the movie boards right now. So before you go off and take in Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s efforts, let’s all go back to 1954 to revisit the definitive version of the story. Starring a come-back tour-de-force performance from Judy Garland and one of the most underrated of James Mason’s career, this film proves that Judy still had plenty in the tank as a movie star and that some stories are perfect no matter the time it’s made. A film star helps a young singer and actress find fame, even as age and alcoholism send his own career on a downward spiral.

Featuring: Brandon Davis and Allison Means
