Our second hour will include a return appearance by
Michael St. John, actor, author, playwright, onetime San Francisco radio personality and the first African-American man hired as a director for NBC television. Michael’s play,
I Feel Sin Comin’ On, which he adapted partly from his memoir,
Hollywood Through the Back Door, received critical acclaim when it was
performed as a dramatic reading earlier this year in Los Angeles. We’ll talk about the play, but we’ll also ask Michael about working on such classic shows as
Laugh-In and
The Andy Williams Show at the legendary NBC studios in Burbank. Michael St. John will join us in our second hour.
Joining us in our first hour will
Alan Rode, one of the foremost experts on the subject of film noir, and the author of such books as
Charles McGraw: Biography of a Film Noir Tough Guy. Alan is also the producer and host of
The Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival, which will take place May 8 thru May 11 at the Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs. The lineup will include screenings of
Sunset Boulevard, The Window, Sorry, Wrong Number, Too Late for Tears, Laura and the original 1946 version of
The Killers, while the weekend’s scheduled guests include Barbara Hale, Nancy Olson, Terry Moore, Susie Lancaster and Barbara Stanwyck biographer Victoria Wilson. We’ll ask Alan about the eternal appeal of film noir, plus we’ll preview his upcoming book on iconic film director Michael Curtiz.
Plus: Tony Figueroa and Donna Allen with a look at some of the
early experimental broadcasts at the 1939 Worlds Fair, which included a speech by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the first televised speech by a U.S. president.
