Hosts Janna and Debbie review a 1937 early Alfred Hitchcock film, Young and Innocent, starring Nova Pilbeam and Pat Fitzpatrick about a young man wrongly accused of murdering Christine after finding her dead on a beach and becoming a fugitive trying to prove his innocence; police focus on him after witnesses say he was running away, and evidence ties him to the crime via his missing raincoat belt used to strangle her.
They discuss the head policeman’s strong-willed daughter eventually believing and helping him, the plot threads involving a hobo and tracking a suspect with a distinctive eye twitch, and Hitchcock’s cameo and a notable long zoom-in ballroom shot highlighting the twitch. They comment on accents, pacing, charm and banter, blackface in the band scene and its explanation, miniatures used for train shots, and share favorite “martini shot” moments.

Janna and Debbie discuss the 1957 classic film Witness for the Prosecution, directed by Billy Wilder and starring Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Tyrone Power, and Marlene Dietrich.
They outline the premise of Leonard Vole, an American tried in an English court for murdering an elderly woman and urge listeners to watch before hearing spoilers due to the twist ending. They highlight Laughton’s comedic chemistry with Lanchester (his real-life wife), the film’s barrister-centered perspective, and memorable scenes including Dietrich’s undercover act and a club sequence where a ceiling collapses.
They note how details connect throughout the trial, discuss character trustworthiness, mention Wilder’s background and Dietrich’s German roots, compare the film to other courtroom movies, and rate it about an 8 and roughly 6.8–7.3. They invite listener emails.

Hosts Janna and Debbie discuss the 1944 thriller The Uninvited, starring Ray Milland, Gail Russell, Donald Crisp, and Ruth Hussey, directed by Lewis Allen. They outline the setup of a brother and sister buying a large cliffside beach house and discovering it is haunted, then share reactions to the film’s mix of light comedy, slower pacing, and effective ghost effects despite no CGI.
They summarize the central mystery involving two ghosts—Carmella and Mary Meredith—an affair, Stella’s parentage, and the danger Stella faces, including a seance and a late twist. They compare scariness to other films, trade brief ghost-related stories, pick favorite “martini shot” moments, and invite listener feedback, ghost encounters, and follows on email and social media.

Hosts Janna and Debbie welcome guest Denise to discuss the 1958 comedy No Time for Sergeants, directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Andy Griffith with Myron McCormick and Don Knotts.
Denise shares that she loved the film from repeat Sunday-morning airings on TBS in the 1980s, praising its wild characters and Griffith’s charismatic, sincere “country boy” persona as Will Stockdale. They summarize the premise of a Georgia country boy drafted into the Air Force who repeatedly frustrates his sergeant, and they highlight favorite scenes including the opening gas-pump/letter moment, the “Tony and the Pony” book, the barracks and smoking-era details, the psychiatrist interview, the plane sequence, Don Knotts’s ring demonstration, and the latrine scenes—especially the “saluting toilets,” noted as their martini-shot moment and linked to the film showing a toilet onscreen.
They also note Will breaking the fourth wall and share trivia about Griffith’s limited film output and Knotts’s connection to The Andy Griffith Show.

Janna and Debbie discuss the 1942 John Huston film In This Our Life, starring Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, George Brent, Dennis Morgan, and Hattie McDaniel. They describe Davis’s character as a selfish, “wretched” woman who runs off with her sister’s husband and triggers escalating consequences in a fast-moving, detail-rich melodrama that rewards a second viewing.
They highlight themes of passivity, delusion, privilege, responsibility, and how consequences eventually catch up, including a fatal car accident that kills a mother and child and leads to blame being shifted onto Perry, a young Black man, while noting Hattie McDaniel’s role as Perry’s mother. They praise de Havilland as the grounded, strong sister and share favorite “martini shot” scenes, including Davis’s fiery car crash ending.

They highlight emotional and humorous moments, including the cab driver’s reaction, Tracy’s boysenberry ice cream scene, and Tilly’s warning to John.
They share behind-the-scenes facts about Hepburn and Tracy’s 27-year relationship, Tracy’s severe illness during filming, and how Hepburn and Kramer insured the film and prepared two scripts. Favorite “martini shots” include Tracy’s final speech and Hepburn firing Hilary.

Hosts Debbie and Janna discuss the 1933 pre-Code film Baby Face, directed by Alfred Green and starring Barbara Stanwyck with George Brent, Teresa Harris, and an early appearance by John Wayne.
They explain that pre-Code movies explored topics later censored by the Motion Picture Production Code and summarize the plot as an out-of-town woman who rises in a New York bank by using men and sex. Their debate centers on whether Stanwyck’s character is primarily intelligent and seeking opportunity or mainly motivated by money and luxury, with discussion of her abusive upbringing, mentorship that urged her to use men, and bringing along Harris’s character.
They note key scenes, Brent’s suicide and indictment amid a failing bank, and the character’s decision to give Brent money because she loved him. They invite viewers to comment and subscribe.

Hosts Janna and Debbie discuss the 1947 film noir Out of the Past, directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Greer. They outline the premise: gambler Whit (Douglas) hires private eye Jeff (Mitchum) to find Kathy (Greer) after she shoots Whit and steals $40,000, leading to twists across locations including Mexico and San Francisco.
They talk about getting “lost” in key moments, Mitchum’s one-liners and screen presence with both Kathy and Ann (Rhonda Fleming), themes of the past resurfacing and karma, and a notable deaf/mute character included without driving the plot. They define film noir as shadowy, crime-filled B-style storytelling and recap the ending where Whit, Jeff, and Kathy die, including Jeff calling the police and the final exchange involving the deaf boy.

Welcome to Let's Get Lost in Classic Movies! Mother and daughter hosts, Debbie and Janna are back this week to discuss the 1963 film Charade, directed by Stanley Donen and starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, with music by Henry Mancini and lyrics by Johnny Mercer.
They describe it as a suspenseful, Hitchcock-like whodunit with constant humor, romance, and twists, set in Paris. The plot centers on Hepburn’s character discovering her husband has been murdered and being pursued by several shady men while Grant tries to help, complicated by his multiple identities and their 25-year age gap (handled by rewriting the pursuit).
They highlight memorable scenes (the opening body on a train, the funeral, chases, the nightclub bit, and a theater trap-door sequence), the $250,000 hidden in stamps, a surprise reveal involving the embassy man, and Hepburn’s standout outfits.

Hosts Debbie and Janna of “Let’s Get Lost in Classic Movies” discuss the 1967 romantic comedy Barefoot in the Park, directed by Gene Saks and starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.
They highlight the film’s nonstop humor, fast, witty dialogue, and the leads’ strong on-screen chemistry, recalling the opening New York City scenes at The Plaza and the couple’s transition to a cramped, run-down walk-up apartment with no heat, little furniture, and a skylight hole.
They talk about key supporting characters - Cory’s mother Estelle and the eccentric neighbor Victor - plus standout comedic moments like the bath-in-the-sink joke, the Albanian restaurant sequence, and Paul’s gradual drunk acting. The conversation also touches on marriage themes of compromise, timing in arguments, and how differences can both attract and irritate partners.

Mother and Daughter hosts Debbie and Janna are back with Let's Get Lost in Classic Movies - this week to discuss John Ford’s 1962 Western The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, starring John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Vera Miles, Lee Marvin, and framed as a flashback told to a newspaperman.
They recap how Eastern attorney Ransome Stoddard arrives in the lawless West, is brutalized by Liberty Valance, and faces a cowardly sheriff and a territory pushing toward statehood and law and order, opposed by cattlemen who employ Valance. They compare Wayne’s tough yet tender Tom Doniphon with Stewart’s underestimated but resilient Stoddard, note key scenes (the steak-floor confrontation, paint-can incident, beatings, the flowering cactus), praise supporting characters like Poppy and Mr. Peabody, and highlight the ending where Stoddard is honored as “the man who shot Liberty Valance” despite the secret truth.

Welcome to Let's Get Lost in Classic Movies. Janna and Debbie discuss the 1944 film Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotten, and 19-year-old Angela Lansbury in her first role, directed by George Cukor.
They introduce the premise of a young girl whose aunt is murdered and who later marries a man with a hidden motive tied to jewels and the house. In their discussion, they explain how the term “gaslighting” comes from the 1938 play by Patrick Hamilton and describe gaslighting as psychological manipulation that makes someone doubt their sanity, memory, or reasoning, citing examples from the film like missing objects, denied reality, isolation, and blame shifting.
They note the film’s heavy tone, makeup and cinematography choices, Angela Lansbury’s comedic relief, award nominations, Bergman’s Best Actress win, and share favorite “martini shot” moments from the ending and the confrontation scene.

Welcome to Let's Get Lost in Classic Movies with hosts Janna and Debbie (daughter and mother). This week they discuss Alfred Hitchcock’s 1946 film Notorious starring Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains, highlighting Hitchcock’s suspenseful style, camera angles, humor, and his cameo at the champagne table.
They outline the premise: Bergman plays the daughter of a convicted Nazi spy recruited by U.S. agent Grant to infiltrate a Nazi circle in Rio by getting close to Rains’s character, leading to twists, romance, and danger.
In their post-watch discussion, they focus on the film’s shifting tone from witty to tense, the cellar/wine-bottle suspense, the romantic but toxic dynamic between the leads, and details like Rains’s height staging. They clarify plot points including recorded evidence, uranium ore in the wine bottles, FBI interest in the storyline, Emmett’s death, and Alicia being slowly poisoned, and share favorite “martini shot” moments and standout costumes/jewelry.

Hosts Janna and Debbie discuss the 1951 film Storm Warning, directed by Stewart Heisler and starring Ginger Rogers, Doris Day, Ronald Reagan, and Steve Cochran.
They summarize the premise: Rogers plays a woman visiting her sister (Day) who witnesses a murder connected to the Ku Klux Klan, setting off an intense, fast-moving story. They note the film’s dramatic roles for Rogers and Day, Reagan’s district attorney performance, and the theme that silence and inaction can be as harmful as committing the crime.
Their conversation highlights shocking scenes, including Rogers being whipped and an attempted rape, the portrayal of a whole town complicit in the Klan, and the bleak ending in which the sister is shot by her husband and he is then killed. They connect the film to real-life Klan presence in the late 1980s and 1990s South and share their “martini shot” standout moments.

Debbie and Janna, the adorable mother-daughter-movie-duo, discuss Frank Capra’s 1944 classic - Arsenic and Old Lace - starring Cary Grant and Priscilla Lane, describing it as a hilarious mix of Halloween creepiness, romance, and farce.
They outline the premise: Grant’s character discovers his two aunts have been poisoning lonely old men with wine and hiding bodies in the cellar, while his brother believes he’s Teddy Roosevelt and another brother, Jonathan, is a psychopath who resembles Boris Karloff and arrives with Dr. Einstein for more face work.
They share favorite moments including the phone-booth scene, police saluting “Teddy Roosevelt,” near-misses with the poisoned wine, and Grant’s physical comedy. They note the Boris Karloff Broadway connection, discuss Lane’s grounding presence, and highlight the ending reveal that makes marriage acceptable for Grant’s character.
