#25 His Girl Friday 80th anniversary with Molly Haskell

from Cineversary · host Erik J Martin

In Cineversary podcast episode #25, host Erik Martin journeys back to the newsroom, circa 1940, with feminist film critic extraordinaire Molly Haskell, author of the groundbreaking cinema text "From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies," to celebrate the 80th anniversary of quite possibly the best screwball comedy ever made, "His Girl Friday," directed by Howard Hawks. Erik and Molly examine why this film is worth honoring all these years later, its cultural impact and legacy, what we can learn from the picture today, how it has stood the test of time, and more.  Learn more about the Cineversary podcast at tinyurl.com/cineversarypodcast and email show comments or suggestions to [email protected].
