The Tamarind Seed (Episode 183) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

1974's The Tamarind Seed was considered a departure for star Julie Andrews.  After a break to raise her family, Andrews was looking for a role that would reintroduce her to audiences in a new light.  As the 70's were rife with political and paranoid thrillers, she jumped at the chance to play Judith Farrow - a woman reeling from personal tragedy who gets embroiled in a Cold War bait and switch.  It helped that Andrews was being directed by husband Blake Edwards (who also adapted the script from Evelyn Anthony's novel) and her love interest was Omar Sharif.   Dan and Vicky discuss the forgotten thriller alolng with lots of recently seen including Max doc Chowchilla, Netflix's The Brothers Sun, 2024's Mean Girls, Jason Statham actioner The Beekeeper, concert doc Queen Rock Montreal, and Anatomy of a Fall.  Also hear about how Vicky spent her birthday and Dan's time at Virginia Stage Company doing Dial M for Murder.
