3.80-The Trespasser with Kevin Pettit

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film The Trespasser. I'm joined by Kevin Pettit from the See You at the Movies newsletter and we talk about comparisons between relationships of the 1920s and today, the impact of the stock market crash of 1929 on the film industry (and greater economy), and an unexpected hometown connection with the film. You can watch The Trespasser on YouTube or on Vimeo and be sure to check out Kevin's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:The Letter directed by Jean de Limur (listen to the episode about that film with Lewis Beer)Thelma directed by Josh MargolinThe Wolf of Wall Street directed by Martin ScorseseThe Big Short directed by Adam McKayMargin Call directed by J.C.
