In the mood for a nail-biting thriller that stays close to home?  James Stewart, Grace Kelly, and Thelma Ritter star in this suspenseful Hitchcock classic whose thrills are made even more impressive by the fact we follow a protagonist who cannot leave his apartment (Stars...they're just like us).   A photographer recovering in his apartment from an accident thinks he witnesses his neighbor (Raymond Burr) commit a murder...or did he?  Find out with Sara Greenfield and her guest Allen Rueckert on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me. 

"Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death, LIVE!" is the motto of the enigmatic Auntie Mame, iconically portrayed by the bold and brilliant Rosalind Russell.  A joyful and celebratory movie with excellent physical comedy, rapier wit, and a whole lot of heart.  It's really TOP DRAWER. 

Want to watch a groundbreaking film that still influences movies as we know them today?  This Fritz Lang directed German film bridged the gap between two different film styles and turned Peter Lorre into a star as one of the most complicated and sympathetic villains on screen.   Come for the creepy whistling and stay for the stunning imagery.   Host, Sara Greenfield, and her guest Liam White discuss all this and more on Talk Classic To Me. 

Clang Clang Clang went the Podcast!  Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien star in this nostalgic and optimistic Vincente Minnelli directed musical that reminds us happiness is in our own backyard and that there's no place like...St. Louis?  Enjoy the charms of  "The Trolley Song", "The Boy Next Door" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" in this Norman Rockwell-like hit.   Hosted by Sara Greenfield with her Guest Zoe Palko.

Need a little hopey changey feeling this Election Day?  We've got you covered with this 1939 Frank Capra optimism fest.  James Stewart stars as a naive senator who boldly faces powerful forces of corruption when he tries to pass a bill in Washington DC.  With the help of the brainy and brilliant Jean Arthur, he just might win!  Sara Greenfield and her guest David Greenfield chat about all this and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me. 

Want another spooky and silly classic this Halloween season?  The Invisible Man, which boasted unparalleled special effects for it's time, is a Universal treat that begs this question of every viewer...what would YOU do if you were invisible?  Sara Greenfield and her guest Nick Lang chat about all that and more on this week's episode of Talk Classic To Me.

Need a Halloween film that is the perfect combination of spooky and silly?  This self-aware and clever screwball comedy gives you a little bit of everything and is a sheer delight!  Cary Grant was in peak physical comedy form when he turned in this performance as Mortimer Brewster, a newlywed who just discovered his sweet- little -old -aunts might be...MURDERERS?  Join Sara Greenfield and her guest Kristina Rueckert for their delightful discussion on this Halloween classic. 

What we have here is NOT a failure to communicate.  Paul Newman and George Kennedy (in an Oscar-winning performance) star in Cool Hand Luke, originally billed as "The man and the motion picture that simply do not conform".  

Join Sara Greenfield and her guest Mitch Yapko as they discuss this iconic and heart-wrenching film...as well as the wonder of a human that was Paul Newman.  

One of Martin Scorsese's favorite films, Gone Girl...I mean Leave Her to Heaven, is a deliciously frothy and gorgeously shot piece of cinema that will make you, like the protagonist, fall in love with Gene Tierney, and then regret it shortly after.  Suspenseful, fun, visually beautiful, and slightly campy, this film is great for a Friday night in.   

Sara Greenfield hosts this fabulous discussion with her guest Sarah Rois.

Are you having one of those days?  This gorgeously shot Douglas Sirk film is sure to lift your spirits.  Treat yourself to this autumnal, cozy treasure that contrasts the teachings of Henry David Thoreau with the Connecticut country club set in the 1950's.   Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson are terrific in a film that showcases both the beauty of forging your own unique path as well as the beauty of technicolor mid-century modern sets that will give you all the "Nancy Meyers Kitchen" feels.
