  • Maltese Falcon (Huston 1940/Hammett 1930)
    Chapter Three—Maltese Falcon (Huston 1940/Hammett 1930) pirates! you’ve got brains! yes you have! curses, foiled again the mickey finn shot samuel spade, confidential investigator you kill me! don’t bogart me According to noted 19th Century author Henry James (1843-1916), novels are “large, loose baggy monsters.” The monstrous size and looseness of the genre demands serious adaptation to the time-bound scope of cinema, often by fusing several characters into one, eliminating major sections of plot, and crystallizing what elements remain, favoring dramatic moments over those more mundane. John Huston’s directorial debut is the exception to the adaptation rule in that it transfers nearly all of Hammett’s novel to screen with very little editing or rewriting. Except for the character of Gutman’s daughter and Spade’s existentialist monologue regarding the Flitcraft episode, Huston basically follows Hammett’s plot to a T, relying on the novelist to provide most of the dialogue. The only other glaring departure from the novel is the Shakespearean paraphrase Humphrey Bogart allegedly suggested to Huston for inclusion at the end of the film, in answer to Tom Polhaus’s question about the nature of the falcon. Spade, misquoting Prospero from The Tempest, says it is: "The stuff that dreams are made of." Many film historians point to Huston’s Maltese Falcon (the novel had been filmed twice before) as the first example of film noir. French film critics writing in Les cahiers du cinéma codified the genre-linked features of this particularly American creation, including the femme fatale, the existential perspective on the individual and fate, the hard-boiled tradition, and the stylistic use of light and shadow, dubbing the genre “black film” or film noir.

  • Interview with Firesign Theatre Member Phil Proctor
    The following interview with PHIL PROCTOR, of the Firesign Theatre, was conducted by the Library of Congress on September 15, 2015. Phil Proctor LOC: How did Firesign Theatre first come to be signed to Columbia records? Well, we were doing a radio show of Peter Bergman’s at KPFK in LA which I became involved with in a very strange way. I had first come out to Los Angeles with a musical called “The Amorous Flea,” for which I won a “Theater World” award and then I returned to New York to perform on Broadway in “A Time for Singing” and “A Race of Hairy Men” by Evan Hunter, where I understudied Brandon DeWilde. Brandon and I became close friends and decided to drive out to Los Angeles together. Through Brandon I met Peter Fonda and we sort of became the “Three Musketeers.” At the time, Peter was working on a little movie idea he called “Captain America” but he couldn’t get the rights to that title so he renamed it “Easy Rider.” And he was doing research on the youth movement, so we went down to the Sunset Strip one night to became part of a protest against a curfew law which then turned into the Sunset Strip Riots. At one point, we joined a sit-down, a sit-in—and I found I was sitting on a copy of the “LA Free Press.” So, I pulled that out from under my butt and I realized I had sat down on a picture of Peter Bergman interviewing returning Vietnam War vets for KPFK Pacifica Radio.

  • 2015 Mark Time Awards Include Jerry Stearns, Brian Price and William Stout
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Audio Production Awards Established to Honor The Firesign Theater’s Comedy and Satire Legacy FREELAND, WA – January 23, 2015 – The most prominent awards worldwide for original radio drama – The Mark Time Awards – are adding four new awards to honor the historic contribution of The Firesign Theater to radio and audio production. The new awards and the long-established Mark Time Award for the year’s best science fiction production and the Ogle Award for fantasy/horror will be presented during the 2015 HEAR Now Festival in Kansas City, Missouri June 12th. “With these four new awards, we are celebrating a renewed interest in audio arts, which are thriving in the first decades of the 21st century in part because of the huge popularity of streaming and digital media,” said Judith Walcutt, Chief Executive Officer of Otherworld Media, which recently was selected to administer the Mark Time Awards. For the past 30 years, Otherworld Media has produced award-winning audio plays, radio broadcasts, and educational programming. The new Mark Time awards honoring The Firesign Theater are: The Nick Danger Prize for the best audio production in the mystery/detective fiction category, which is named after Firesign’s famous satire of radio detectives of the 1950s. The original “Nick,” Phil Austin, and his wife Oona will be part of the judging team. The Bradshaw, an award named after the late Peter Bergman’s cop character in the Nick Danger episodes, will be given for “service to the field” and chosen by the MTA’s advisory board. ! 1! The Betty Jo (But Everyone Knew Her as Nancy) prize honors the multi-gender vocal skills of Phil Proctor and will be awarded for best performances.

  • Firesign Theatre (1970) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Frederick C
    “Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers”—The Firesign Theatre (1970) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Frederick C. Wiebel, Jr. (guest post)* Original album Original label The Firesign Theatre Just mentioning the name The Firesign Theatre evokes many mental images. A nostalgic warmth for the good old days that never were. Of millions of Americans gathering around their citizen radios listening to FDR's weekly fireside chats. Zodiacal puns for the pot smoking patrons of the psychedelic sixties and seventies trying to escape from a club-swinging world gone mad with war and political upheaval. Guerrilla theater in the streets humorously deprogramming a populous from the narcotic of pop culture and authority. A put-on group of cohesive thought. A group that never was a group. A rock band without music, playing with words in rhythmical patterns on a major scale. A concern that puts out comedy albums but aren’t concerned about being comedians. College boy counter-culture humor from post graduates for students and non-students, adults and non-adults who remain forever young at heart. An indefinable outfit that produces an indefinable product for an indefinable market. Fighting clowns against the powers that be. Shakespearean comedy in a time of Orwellian tragedy. An aural Norman Rockwell painting on acid. A theater of the mind built with the bricks of politics and poetry on the solid foundation of the golden age of radio. The images pile on and on, and on, with double, triple, quadruple entendres and non-sequiturs, layering a baklava of subconscious surreality and blatantly silly humor acting as a political poultice for the open wounds of a sick society.
