224 - Valentino
from Have You Seen This?
Jen welcomes Darren Herczeg to help her rhapsodize about a movie even director Ken Russell didn't like, Valentino! Tip us at ko-fi.com/hystpod! The wonderfully-named Phallic Frenzy gives Russell his due as an audacious filmmaker, and describes Valentino in complimentary terms. See Nureyev fully commit to the bit by dancing "Swine Lake" on the Muppet Show in 1978. The book on Fatty Arbuckle that Jen mentioned is called Room 1219: The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood, and it's well worth a read for anyone interested in early Hollywood. Can't get enough Darren? Check out our collection of his appearances on the show!
