Description
Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs. Each week, nearly 4.5 million people listen to the show's intimate conversations broadcast on more than 450 National Public Radio (NPR) stations across the country, as well as in Europe on the World Radio Network. Though Fresh Air has been categorized as a "talk show," it hardly fits the mold. Its 1994 Peabody Award citation credits Fresh Air with "probing questions, revelatory interviews and unusual insights." And a variety of top publications count Gross among the country's leading interviewers. The show gives interviews as much time as needed, and complements them with comments from well-known critics and commentators. Fresh Air is produced at WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR.
Description
INT. 1: Actor CHARLTON HESTON. A consistent lead in the biblical epics of the 1950's and 1960's, HESTON had starring roles in " The Greatest Story Ever Told" and "The Ten Commandments"; HESTON also covered the Roman era in epics like "Ben Hur", "Julius Cesar", and "Antony & Cleopatra." Medieval Spain was not beyond his ken: HESTON had the lead as well in "El Cid." (REBROADCAST FROM 11/30/90). Film Director, MARTIN SCORCESE. He directed "The Last Temptation of Christ" in 1988. In June of 1993, as part of a retrospective of his work by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the Department of Cinema Studies at NYU presented "An Evening With Martin Scorcese": a wide ranging question and answer session taped live before an audience at New York University. Scorcese explores some of the special difficulties involved in shooting a biblical epic in the desert with very little money. (REBROADCAST FROM 6/11/93). Composer ELMER BERNSTEIN. He's composed the scores for almost 80 films, including "The Man With the Golden Arm," "The Magnificent Seven," and "The Ten Commandments". Lately he's done the scores for "The Field" and "The Grifters." (REBROADCAST FROM 1/10/91) INT. 2: Actor KIRK DOUGLAS. The star of "Lust for Life," "Paths of Glory," "Champion" and Stanley Kubrick's epic, "Spartacus," the story of a slave uprising during the Roman Empire. (REBROADCAST FROM 8/22/88). Actor TONY CURTIS. In 1960 he starred in the film, "Spartacus" about a leader of slaves revolting against Republican Rome. A restored version of the film has been released that includes previously cut scenes, including one where Laurence Olivier --as a general-- tries to seduce his slave, played by CURTIS. (REBROADCAST FROM 4-19-91). REV. : Film critic STEPHEN SCHIFF has a review of the new Michael Keaton film, "The Paper".
