Acteurist oeuvre-view – Margaret Sullavan – Part 3: NEXT TIME WE LOVE (1936) & THE MOON'S OUR HOME (1936)

Our third Margaret Sullavan Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode features another odd juxtaposition: Next Time We Love (1936), a melodrama of ideas that pairs Sullavan with Jimmy Stewart for the first time; and The Moon's Our Home, a (flat) screwball comedy in which she co-stars with ex-husband Henry Fonda (1936). We do some deep reflecting on love, gender roles, and human potential, and try to get a grasp on the Sullavan persona.    0h 1m 00s:            NEXT TIME WE LOVE (1936) [dir. Edward H.
