WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BETTE & JOAN? – WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO KENNETH HYMAN?
On the second episode of this bonus season, we look at the career of Kenneth Hyman, the influential movie producer who spearheaded the production of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, as well as many other classic titles. First up, the 1962 Gene Kelly-directed dramedy Gigot, which stars Jackie Gleason as a mute French janitor who finds himself with an unexpected family. After that, a look at the stark 1965 Sidney Lumet military prison drama The Hill starring Sean Connery. Hosts of the podcast From Beneath the Hollywood Sign, Steve Cubine and Nan McNamara, join me as we break down these unique films and the producer behind them.
YOUR HOST
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
