Send us Fan MailToday's episode is my conversation about the 1930 film Romance. I'm joined by Janelle Lathrop who writes the Right Now, You Like Me newsletter, and we talk about confusing bits of plot development, an extremely long middle scene of the film, and the distinct lack of romance in a film titled Romance.You can watch Romance on Tubi or grab a copy of the film on DVD for yourself, and be sure to check out Janelle's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:It Happened One Night directed by Frank CapraAll Quiet on the Western Front directed by Lewis Milestone"Fiddlesticks" directed by Ub IwerksAnna Christie directed by Clarence BrownAnna Karenina directed by Clarence BrownNational Velvet directed by Clarence BrownGrand Hotel directed by Edmund GouldingMoulin Rouge! directed by Baz LuhrmannThe Barretts of Wimpole Street directed by Sidney FranklinJuror #2 directed by Clint EastwoodTwelve Angry Men directed by Sidney LumetOther referenced topics:Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourtMad Men (series)Romance (play) by Edward SheldonReview in Harrison's ReportsReview in Motion Picture NewsReview in The New York TimesReview in Picture Play MagazineDanny Reid's review on pre-code.comSupport the show
