• Life Derailed: “Midnight Express” (1978)

  In "Midnight Express" (Columbia, 1978) Brad Davis delivers a gut-wrenching performance as a young man whose brief moment of stupidity in a foreign country derails his entire life and inexorably alters his future. Based on the true story of American tourist Billy Hayes’ harrowing fight to survive and escape from a Turkish prison in the 1970s, the film garnered 6 Oscar nominations and two wins (including one for first-time screenwriter Oliver Stone) and altered US-Turkish relations for years to come.“Midnight Express” (1978)Directed by Alan Parker, Screenplay by Oliver StoneProduced by Peter Guber, Alan Marshall and David PutnamWith Brad Davis, John Hurt, Randy Quaid, Bo Hopkins, and Irene Miracle A Columbia Pictures ReleaseText us & We'll Respond on an EpisodeLinks to Tony's website, and Brad's website at www.goinghollywoodpodcast.com Follow us on Instagram @goinghollywoodpodReach us at [email protected] Listen to our Going Hollywood PlaylistPodcast logo by Umeworks

• “The Judy Garland Show” Part Two: Rainbow’s End

  Three producers. Four formats. One television season. “The Judy Garland Show” stands as a fascinating television tragedy that should have been a triumph. In the second part of our special tribute to Judy Garland, we discuss the sad but inevitable decline of what was to be the climax of the legendary singer’s career. Network executives shuffled through producers, writers, and formats with bewildering frequency while Judy struggled to maintain her artistic integrity. Today, "The Judy Garland Show" serves as both a testament to Garland's extraordinary gifts and a cautionary tale about television's sometimes ruthless treatment of even its greatest artists.Text us & We'll Respond on an EpisodeLinks to Tony's website, and Brad's website at www.goinghollywoodpodcast.com Follow us on Instagram @goinghollywoodpodReach us at [email protected] Listen to our Going Hollywood PlaylistPodcast logo by Umeworks
