    Louis Winthorpe is a businessman who works for commodities brokerage firm of Duke and Duke owned by the brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke. Now they bicker over the most trivial of matters and what they are bickering about is whether it's a person's environment or heredity that determines how well they will do in life. When Winthorpe bumps into Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler and assumes he is trying to rob him, he has him arrested. Upon seeing how different the two men are, the brothers decide to make a wager as to what would happen if Winthorpe loses his job, his home and is shunned by everyone he knows and if Valentine was given Winthorpe's job. So they proceed to have Winthorpe arrested and to be placed in a compromising position in front of his girlfriend. So all he has to rely on is the hooker who was hired to ruin him.

    Episode 183 - The Taking Of Pelham 123 (1974)

    The Taking Of Pelham 123 (1974)

    Four seemingly unrelated men board subway train Pelham 1:23 at successive stations. Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, Mr. Grey and Mr. Brown are heavily armed and overpower the motorman and novice conductor to take control of the train. Between stations they separate the front car from the remainder of the train, setting passengers in the back cars and the motorman free. The four demand $1 million ransom within exactly one hour for the remaining eighteen hostages, including the conductor. If their demands are not met in time or their directions are not followed precisely, they will begin to shoot hostages dead, one every minute the money is late. Wisecracking Lt. Zach Garber of the transit police ends up being the primary communicator between the hijackers and the authorities, which includes transit operations, his own police force, the NYPD, and the unpopular and currently flu ridden mayor who will make the ultimate decision of whether to pay the ransom. Unknown to Garber, what may be working on their side is the disparate nature of the four hijackers, including methodical and unbending Blue, trigger happy Grey, and also under the weather Green, who may pass out before the caper has concluded. What Garber does know is that there is a plain clothes NYPD officer among the eighteen hostages. What Garber has to try and figure out is how the four hijackers can possibly get away, as they are in a tunnel and have to remain with the train since it has a dead-man mechanism which requires a motorman at the controls at all times.

Good Stuff

Although now subscribed, I don’t listen to every episode, just pick and choose the ones I want. Downloaded a load of old ones as well. The lads are knowledgeable with a real love of films. Keep it up.

What’s not to like? Grab a coffee!

A variety of excellent film reviews by very knowledgable film buffs.

I’ve given this 5 stars as I actually found myself stopping what I was doing and listened word for word.

Reviewers are personable and inclusive for me it’s not a wrap - it’s get ready for the next one.

Can't think of something witty

This is a fledgling podcast from a couple of guys round my way that I wouldn't have stumbled upon had it not been for A History of Misunderstanding podcast & I'm glad I have. Good, in-depth film discussion & nice to hear friendly voices from my neck of the woods, looking forward to hearing future episodes & hearing the evolution of the show.
