The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. This week, Antony joins Scott to take a look at an underseen gem from 1974 The Gambler (1974) Step into the high-octane world of Axel Freed, a brilliant literature professor who lives for the ultimate thrill! By day, he inspires students; by night, he chases the electrifying rush of high-stakes gambling. When a losing streak leaves him in deep trouble with loan sharks, Axel sees it not as a disaster, but as the ultimate intellectual challenge. He masterfully navigates his crisis, securing the money he needs, but the siren call of one last, colossal bet is impossible to resist. In a pulse-pounding finale, he risks it all on a single college basketball game, embracing the pure, intoxicating feeling of putting everything on the line. "The Gambler" is a fascinating character study wrapped in the exhilarating tension of a high-stakes thriller, celebrating a man who truly feels alive only when he's betting it all. "Listen to me. I'm in a position to tell you something... If you take a forty-four-thousand-dollar-a-year job, which is the absolute most you're ever going to make, you are a chicken. Your life is going to be chicken. Chicken food, chicken house, chicken car. I am not a chicken. I'm a gambler. I am a gambler."

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. This week,Antony joins Scott to take a look at a classic screwball comedy from the golden age of Hollywood Get ready for a riotous romantic comedy! A houseful of quirky professors find their dusty encyclopedia project turned upside down by the arrival of Sugarpuss O'Shea, a dazzling nightclub singer with the mob on her tail. She brings a crash course in modern slang, a whole lot of fun, and an unexpected romance that's pure dynamite! Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon   Ball Of Fire (1941) Get ready for a joyous explosion of wit and romance in "Ball of Fire," a golden-age comedy that sizzles with irresistible charm. Deep within a dusty New York townhouse, eight delightfully eccentric and elderly professors have spent years sealed off from the world. Their monumental task? To compile a definitive encyclopedia of all human knowledge. Led by the endearingly shy grammarian, Professor Bertram Potts, these brilliant minds know everything about history, science, and the arts, but are blissfully ignorant of modern life, especially its colourful slang. Their perfectly ordered, book-lined world is about to be turned gloriously upside down. When Potts realises his article on slang is woefully outdated, he bravely ventures into the city, seeking a real-world expert. What he finds is Katherine "Sugarpuss" O'Shea, a vivacious nightclub singer and a walking, talking dictionary of the latest lingo. Sugarpuss is a whirlwind of energy and sass, but she's also in a tight spot. Her gangster boyfriend, the notorious Joe Lilac, is wanted by the authorities, and she needs a place to lie low to avoid testifying against him. Seeing the professors' home as the perfect hideout, she crashes their academic sanctuary, promising to be their muse for modern vocabulary. The result is a hilarious and heartwarming clash of cultures. Sugarpuss introduces the bewildered but fascinated professors to the joys of the conga, the art of the "yum yum," and a vibrant new way of looking at life. Their quiet home, once filled with the rustle of paper, now echoes with jazz music and laughter. As the academics fall over themselves to learn from their dazzling new houseguest, the smitten Professor Potts finds himself falling deeply in love. Beneath her tough exterior, Sugarpuss is captivated by his genuine kindness and intellect, a world away from the dangerous life she knows with Joe Lilac. But the real world can't be kept at bay forever. When Lilac's mobsters show up with a plan to force Sugarpuss into marriage to silence her for good, it seems the professors are hopelessly outmatched. But don't underestimate the power of a brilliant mind! In a thrilling and ingenious climax, Potts and his brainy comrades use their academic knowledge of physics, history, and strategy to outwit the gangsters in a showdown for the ages. "Ball of Fire" is a triumphant celebration of love, proving that opposites don't just attract—they create a dazzling, unforgettable spark. "Sugarpuss, uh, before you go, would you... would you, eh, yum me just once more?"   This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts   Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause   email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com   Thanks for listening!  

The Stinking Pause Podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 - some good...some not so good. This week join Scott, Paul and Charlie for a tale of a bungled diamond heist leading to a chaotic, hilarious web of double-crosses. Seduction, stammering, and stolen fish ensnare a stuffy lawyer in a madcap Anglo-American culture clash for the loot. A Fish Called Wanda (1988) "A Fish Called Wanda" is a delightfully chaotic and hilariously upbeat caper that brilliantly blends British wit with American brashness. The story ignites when a mismatched gang of jewel thieves – the cunning Wanda Gershwitz (Jamie Lee Curtis), her dangerously dim-witted "brother" Otto (Kevin Kline), the animal-loving, stuttering Ken Pile (Michael Palin), and the brains of the operation, George Thomason (Tom Georgeson) – successfully pull off a major diamond heist. However, the trust among thieves is, predictably, non-existent. Wanda and Otto immediately betray George, landing him in jail, but not before he cunningly hides the loot. Enter the quintessential, repressed English barrister, Archie Leach (John Cleese). Wanda sets her sights on seducing Archie, believing he can lead her to the hidden diamonds. What follows is a whirlwind of outrageous situations, escalating absurdities, and laugh-out-loud moments. Kevin Kline's Oscar-winning performance as the pseudo-intellectual, pathologically jealous Otto is a comedic tour-de-force, delivering iconic lines and unforgettable physical comedy. Michael Palin is equally brilliant as the tortured Ken, whose attempts to eliminate a key witness (an elderly dog lover) go catastrophically and hilariously wrong, usually involving the unfortunate demise of her beloved pooches. Jamie Lee Curtis shines as the smart, manipulative Wanda, effortlessly wrapping everyone around her little finger. John Cleese is perfect as the flustered Archie, whose stiff upper lip gradually crumbles under Wanda's charms and the sheer madness of the unfolding events, leading to some of the film's most memorable and uproarious scenes. "A Fish Called Wanda" is a masterclass in comedic timing and ensemble performance. Its relentless pace, witty dialogue, and a genuine sense of fun make it an enduring and infectiously cheerful cinematic treat that leaves audiences roaring with laughter. "You pompous, stuck-up, snot-nosed, English, giant, twerp, scumbag, fuck-face, dickhead, asshole."

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.   This week,Antony joins Scott to take a look at an incredible piece of cinema from Sidney Lumet In a WWII British military prison in North Africa, new inmates face brutal punishment, epitomized by repeatedly climbing a man-made hill in the desert heat. Led by a defiant ex-Sergeant Major, the prisoners clash with sadistic guards, leading to a grim struggle for survival and exposing the camp's inhumanity. Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon   The Hill (1965) Sidney Lumet's 1965 cinematic work, "The Hill," presents a profound examination of the human condition under duress. The narrative is situated within the severe environs of a British military prison in North Africa during the Second World War. While the setting is undeniably extreme, the film illuminates the resilience and camaraderie that can manifest even in the most adverse circumstances. It transcends conventional war narratives to delve into the internal fortitude of soldiers confronting a distinct form of adversity. The film introduces five new internees to the facility, each possessing a unique background and inherent strength that they bring to this demanding environment. Among them is Joe Roberts, portrayed by Sean Connery, a former Sergeant Major whose principled refusal to enact a perilous order resulted in his incarceration. Roberts' intellect and unwavering resolve serve as a quiet source of inspiration for his fellow prisoners. He is joined by the resourceful Monty Bartlett, the tenacious Jock McGrath, the initially reserved George Stevens, and the steadfastly resilient West Indian soldier, Jacko King, who confronts his tribulations with remarkable fortitude. The prison staff offers a study in contrasting ideologies. Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) Wilson embodies stern military tradition, espousing the belief that rigorous discipline forges stronger soldiers. His principal instrument for this is "the hill" – an artificial mound of sand that functions as an exacting test of endurance, designed to push prisoners to their physical and psychological limits. A significant antagonist is Staff Sergeant Williams, whose methods are frequently severe as he subjects the inmates to extreme pressures, ostensibly to prepare them for future combat. Offering an alternative perspective is Staff Sergeant Harris, a non-commissioned officer whose sense of fairness and empathy develops as he observes the prisoners' ordeals. The camp's Medical Officer also contends with the challenging equilibrium between his professional obligations and his humanitarian impulses. The central drama of the film unfolds as the new prisoners, particularly the principled Roberts, endeavour to navigate the camp's rigorous routines and the notably stringent approach of Williams, all under the vigilant supervision of RSM Wilson. "The hill" becomes the primary arena wherein the men's endurance and spirit are perpetually tested. Williams frequently targets the newcomers, and Roberts, with his comprehensive understanding of military regulations and his refusal to be readily demoralised, emerges as a figure of quiet strength and resilience. As the men encounter escalating pressures, their interpersonal bonds and individual resolve are brought into sharp focus. Williams' intense focus on Stevens, who struggles significantly with the harsh conditions, precipitates a tragic denouement. After being subjected to extreme exertion on the hill, Stevens succumbs. This profoundly affecting event galvanises Roberts, who courageously protests what he perceives as a grave injustice, with King bravely supporting his stance. Their actions ignite a potent demand for equitable treatment among the inmate population. In the aftermath of this incident, RSM Wilson capably restores order, yet the event serves to bring underlying systemic issues to the forefront. Roberts himself faces further direct confrontation as a consequence of his protestations. Staff Sergeant Harris, motivated by his conscience and an evolving sense of justice, intervenes to ensure Roberts receives medical attention and advocates for a formal review of the camp's operational practices. The film concludes with a sense of qualified optimism. While the challenges inherent within the military prison system remain considerable, the actions of individuals such as Harris and Roberts demonstrate that the pursuit of fairness and dignity can indeed instigate change. Ultimately, "The Hill" showcases the enduring strength of the human spirit and the profound courage required to defend one's convictions, even amidst the most trying of circumstances.   "We're all doing time. Even the screws."     This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts   Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause   email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com   Thanks for listening!

The Stinking Pause Podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 - some good...some not so good. This week join Scott, Paul and Charlie for a tale of  two seasoned Navy men, tasked with escorting a young sailor to military prison. Instead of a straightforward trip, they turn it into an unforgettable adventure—boozing, brawling, and sharing hard-won wisdom along the way. The Last Detail (1973) The Last Detail (1973) is a rollicking, bittersweet road trip wrapped in military blues. Directed by Hal Ashby and starring Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, and Randy Quaid, the film follows two seasoned Navy lifers, Billy "Badass" Buddusky and Richard "Mule" Mulhall, who are assigned a seemingly dull task—escorting a young, timid sailor, Larry Meadows, to military prison. But instead of a routine trip, they decide to give the kid one last taste of freedom before he's locked away. Meadows, sentenced to eight years for a petty crime, is resigned to his fate, but Buddusky and Mulhall aren't about to let him go quietly. What starts as a simple escort mission turns into an adventure packed with booze, brawls, and life lessons. The trio bar-hops, gets into scrapes with Marines, and even introduces Meadows to the joys of a proper night out. Along the way, Buddusky, the loud-mouthed rebel, and Mulhall, the more reserved realist, push Meadows to stand up for himself, teaching him that life isn't just about taking orders. Despite the fun, there's an underlying sadness—the knowledge that this wild ride is fleeting. As the journey nears its end, the weight of Meadows' impending imprisonment looms large, and the film shifts from rowdy camaraderie to poignant reflection. It's a story about friendship, fleeting freedom, and the absurdity of rigid authority, all delivered with sharp dialogue and Nicholson's electric performance. With its mix of humour, rebellion, and heart, The Last Detail is a classic slice of 1970s cinema that reminds us to seize the moment—even when the clock is ticking. "Well, kid, there's more things in this life than you can possibly imagine. I knew a whore once in Wilmington. She had a glass eye... used to take it out and wink people off for a dollar."   This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott, Paul, and Charlie

The Stinking Pause Podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 - some good...some not so good. This week join Scott and Paul as they discuss a tale of a gambler-jeweler navigating chaos to secure a rare opal and escape debts, blending tension, addiction, and greed in a relentless thriller masterpiece. Uncut Gems (2019) "Uncut Gems," directed by Josh and Benny Safdie, is a gripping and anxiety-inducing crime thriller set in the bustling Diamond District of New York City. The film centers on Howard Ratner, played with frenetic energy by Adam Sandler, a charismatic but deeply flawed Jewish-American jeweler with a severe gambling addiction. Howard's life is a chaotic whirlwind of high-stakes bets, mounting debts, and strained relationships. He's constantly juggling multiple precarious situations, trying to stay one step ahead of his creditors. The narrative intensifies when Howard acquires a rare, uncut Ethiopian opal, believing it to be the key to solving all his financial woes. However, his attempts to capitalize on the gem are repeatedly thwarted by his impulsive decisions and insatiable desire for the next big score. Adding to his troubles, NBA star Kevin Garnett becomes infatuated with the opal, further complicating Howard's already precarious situation. The film masterfully portrays Howard's descent into a vortex of desperation, as he frantically navigates a web of loan sharks, angry debtors, and strained family ties. The Safdie brothers' signature filmmaking style, characterized by its claustrophobic camerawork, rapid-fire dialogue, and pulsating score, creates a relentless sense of tension that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. "Uncut Gems" is more than just a crime thriller; it's a character study of a man driven by addiction and a relentless pursuit of the American dream. The film's raw and unfiltered portrayal of Howard's self-destructive behavior, combined with Sandler's electrifying performance, makes for a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. "They say you can see the whole universe in opals, that's how fuckin' old they are."   This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott and Paul

The Stinking Pause Podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 - some good...some not so good. This week join Scott and Paul as they dive into the deep and murky world of jury rigging and a warm hearted tribute to the legendary Gene Hackman Runaway Jury (2003) Runaway Jury, the 2003 courtroom thriller that puts a quirky twist on the phrase "justice is blind." Imagine a high-stakes tug-of-war featuring a scheming jury, a ruthless gun lobby, and two legal eagles circling each other like hawks. The result? A movie that's less about legal jargon and more about who can outfox whom. When a widow decides to sue a powerful gun manufacturer after her husband's tragic death, the case becomes the battleground for a manipulative showdown. Enter Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman), the principled attorney fighting for the little guy, and Rankin Fitch (Gene Hackman), a corporate shark who'd sell his soul to rig the jury in his favour. But oh, wait—there's a wildcard in play. Meet Nick Easter (John Cusack), a smooth-talking juror with a secret agenda, and his equally cunning partner, Marlee (Rachel Weisz). Together, they orchestrate a scheme to auction the jury's verdict to the highest bidder. What follows is a game of cat and mouse with everyone trying to outsmart each other. Hackman's Fitch pulls every dirty trick in the book, but Easter and Marlee are always two steps ahead, playing mind games and leaving breadcrumbs for Rohr to follow. It's corporate greed versus moral righteousness, with a touch of audacious hustle thrown in for good measure.   "You think your average juror is King Solomon? No, he's a roofer with a mortgage. He wants to go home and sit in his Barcalounger and let the cable TV wash over him. And this man doesn't give a single, solitary droplet of shit about truth, justice or your American way."   This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott and Paul

The Stinking Pause Podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 - some good...some not so good. This week join Scott, Paul, and Charlie as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson hunt down the most famous serial killer of all time. Murder By Decree (1979) Imagine Victorian London draped in its signature fog—moody, mysterious, and murderous. Enter Sherlock Holmes, played by the suave Christopher Plummer, whose deerstalker hat is firmly in place as he faces off against the city's ultimate boogeyman, Jack the Ripper. Accompanying him is Dr. Watson, portrayed by James Mason, the ever-patient sidekick who somehow tolerates Holmes' insufferable genius and dramatic flair. In Murder by Decree, Holmes is summoned to untangle the bloody mess left by Jack, only to find himself neck-deep in a conspiracy so tangled it might as well be a Victorian-era soap opera. Of course, he can't resist. This is Sherlock Holmes, after all, the man who treats riddles like others treat dessert. What starts as a ghastly murder investigation soon spirals into a whirlwind of gasps, revelations, and the occasional philosophical musing. Expect shadowy alleys, upper-class scandals, and Holmes side-eyeing everyone in sight. The film masterfully balances edge-of-your-seat suspense with a sprinkle of the detective's trademark wit. Oh, and Watson? He's mostly there for comic relief and to remind Holmes to eat occasionally. This is more than just your average "whodunnit." It's a finger-pointing, eyebrow-raising caper that will leave you wondering if anyone in London's elite is trustworthy—or just really good at faking it. If you enjoy mystery, melodrama and even a bit of posh chaos thrown in for good measure, then you will love this.

The Day Of The Jackal (1973) "The Day of the Jackal" (1973) is a tense political thriller centered on an assassination plot against French President Charles de Gaulle. The story follows a mysterious and highly skilled assassin, known only as the Jackal (Edward Fox) , hired by a paramilitary group seeking to eliminate de Gaulle due to his controversial policies towards Algeria. As the Jackal meticulously plans the operation, he adopts various disguises and utilizes advanced tactics to evade detection. Meanwhile, French authorities, alerted to the potential threat, assign a determined police detective, Claude Lebel, to track down the assassin. The film intricately weaves suspense as Lebel races against time, piecing together clues to prevent the assassination. With its gripping narrative and realistic portrayal of espionage and counter-terrorism efforts, "The Day of the Jackal" explores themes of political intrigue and the relentless pursuit of justice, culminating in a dramatic climax that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
