See Hear Podcast Episode 20 - All Night Long and Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways - a podcast by Bernard Stickwell, Tim Merrill, Maurice Bursztynski

Finally…..it’s time for episode 20 of See Hear Podcast. The
crew apologises for missing out on presenting a film discussion for your auralpleasure during August. However, for those of you who missed hearing our
ramblings, we attempt to make up for that by giving you discussion on TWO filmsfor September instead of our usual one. Both films are requests from listeners.

First up, we discuss Cameron Towler’s request of a film from1962. “All Night Long” is director Basil Dearden’s take on Shakespeare’s “Othello”
as transplanted to (then)modern day England. All appears to be well as AureliusRex and Delia Lane celebrate their first wedding anniversary with their jazz
musician friends. He’s a pianist and bandleader and she’s a retired singer. Evildrummer  (I didn’t know there was such a
thing) Johnny Cousin plots to put a wedge between them to secure Delia for hisnew band. Featuring music performed by the likes of John Dankworth, Charles
Mingus and Dave Brubeck, this film takes a creative spin on the bard’s tragedy.Next, we discuss Brie Edwards’ request of 2004’s documentary
“Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways”. The history of rock is littered withbands who have been dealt with poorly by management and labels. What makes The
Runaways’ tale even sadder is they were all teenagers in the care of KimFowley, a sleazy manager who, admittedly got them success, but at a great cost
emotionally. The documentary is directed by their second bassist Vicky  Tischler-Blue. We discuss her approach to theactual making of the film, as well as the events themselves.

Bernie, Tim and myself would also like to say thanks toWendi for being part of the crew. Doing two other podcasts (check ‘em out –
Double Page Spread and The Trashy Trio) as well as a multitude of other thingsmeant that she was feeling a little burned out, and she has decided to leave
See Hear. We will miss her, but respect her wish to give herself some breathingspace.
