Both Kevin and Dan have acted in and/or directed several productions of Shakespeare, so they certainly know what they’re talking about. While certainly not the most academic of the Shakespeare podcasts out there, the hosts are far from uninformed. The hosts are bold enough to claim that No Holds Bard is “the Shakespeare podcast Shakespeare would have listened to.” Honestly, I believe them!įrom answering Redditors’ Shakespeare-related homework questions to drafting Shakespeare characters into fantasy sports teams, this show has it all.
#Romeo and juliet with sidenotes movie#
His leadership led to fire, looting, and the end of so many movie palaces as collateral damage.Kevin Codardo and Dan Beaulieu host what is arguably the most rambunctious, fun-filled and entertaining of all the Shakespeare podcasts out there! Good thing to remember on the MLK holiday in Jamuary.
This was the death blow for all of America’s beautiful downtown first runs. Within a few years movie studios did what was necessary and opened first runs in the suburban neighborhoods. King’s followers burned and looted the downtown areas, with no interference by police, people stayed away from downtown and hence from first run theaters. Pictures like HIGH NOON, ZORBA THE GREEK, DR STRANGELOVE each played for months-on-end.įIRST RUNS in WASHINGTON, as elsewhere, were destroyed by the Martin Luther King Riots. The DUPONT THEATRE had some incredibly long first run engagements. NOT a first run but a clever re-run it played there at first run admission prices for about a year.
They had an extremely long run there of MGM’s movie “LILI” with Leslie Caron. The LITTLE was on 9th Street between F and G Streets. The only films I saw at the Dupont were: PRIVILEGE (1967), THE SWIMMER (1968), the 1968 version of ROMEO AND JULIET, TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE (a late 1969 release that opened at the Dupont on 1/16/70), THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY (another late 1969 release that opened at the Dupont on 2/18/70), and THE GREAT WHITE HOPE (1970). It played for 7 weeks, starting on Christmas Eve of that year.Īfter enjoying a healthy run of 10 weeks at the Embassy, JOE (1970) moved over to the Dupont on 10/28/70 and played there for 8 more weeks. Ironically, the 1954 version of ROMEO AND JULIET with Laurence Harvey and Susan Shentall also had its first-run engagement at the Dupont. Undoubtedly a great “date movie”, it ran at the Dupont from 7/24/63 to 10/10/63. THE THRILL OF IT ALL with Doris Day and James Garner was hardly an art house film, which was the Dupont’s specialty, but it obviously did great business. STRANGELOVE and THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT played back to back at the Dupont between 2/20/64 and 9/1/64. There were also a great many films that played at the Dupont for almost two months, and I will include the entire list of every picture that played at the theater from January of 1950 to January of 1972 at a later date so you can find your favorites.
STRANGELOVE (14 weeks), THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT (11 weeks), ZORBA THE GREEK (22 weeks!), THE LOVED ONE (11 weeks), GEORGY GIRL (27 weeks!), THE FOX (16 weeks), ROMEO AND JULIET (36 weeks!), IF (12 weeks), and THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON’T THEY (12 weeks). area) were: JULIUS CAESAR (15 weeks), THE HORSE’S MOUTH (14 weeks), NEVER ON SUNDAY (43 weeks!!!) ONE, TWO, THREE (15 weeks), PHAEDRA (15 weeks), THE THRILL OF IT ALL (14 weeks), DR. The longest running films at the Dupont between 19 (when I lived in the D.C.
