Ep 1: Miriam Hopkins in Woman Chases Man (1937)

Miriam Hopkins stars in this elegant screwball classic. She plays a starving architect who falls for Joel McCrea. Miriam always let you know when her characters were gasping for it, and she could make a Peter Pan collar look as sexy as a silk bias-cut gown. I close the episode with an excerpt from Vincent Sherman's memoir where he talks about directing Miriam Hopkins and Bette Davis in Old Acquaintance (1943).
