At Home #4 - Jean Arthur

In case you’re just joining us, this is another edition of the Film Comment Podcast at Home. Every day we’re talking about what we’re watching. For this episode, we check in with Sheila O’Malley, one of our regular columnists, who writes the Present Tense column. FC Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold joined digital editor Clinton Krute to talk with Sheila about a classic Hollywood star she’s been returning to: Jean Arthur, well known from several Frank Capra movies as well as Howard Hawks’s Only Angels Have Wings. Sheila also chose another film which we don’t want to spoil because it testifies to the great variety of movies we’re all watching right now. As usual, we’re providing links on Film Comment’s website, including where to watch the next movie we’ll focus on next episode: we’ll be talking about Leos Carax’s Mauvais Sang, starring Juliette Binoche and Denis Levant. And we’ll have a very special guest joining us that episode, posting Monday. You’ll also find more information and a link for supporting the publisher of Film Comment, Film at Lincoln Center, during these unprecedented times. Also don’t miss details on the new streaming availability of Bacurau. Thank you for listening, and let’s go now to our conversation with Sheila and Clint.
