A Star Sound Special RKO - OK for Music
RKO Studios were most famous for films of drama and melodrama, but John Benson digs a little deeper and turns up a hoard of musical treasures too. Sinatra, Hoagy Carmichael and, of course, Astaire and Rogers are just some of the stars you'll hear as he explores the other side of RKO.
Written by JOHN BENSON Producer ANDY WILSON (Part 2 next week) and at 10.30* Cinema Scrapbook with Chris Kelly
1949: Bad guys were never badder than in 1949 - James Cagney went out with a bang in White Heat, Harry Lime fled through the Vienna sewers in The Third Man, and Dennis Price quickly disposed of his own family in Kind Hearts and Coronets.
It was also the year of great partnerships - Neagle and Wilding in Mayfair, Astaire and Rogers on Broadway, and Tracy and Hepburn back together in Adam's s Rib.
