Join us, Nick & Glenn, in this Variety Attic short, as we pay tribute to the 1939 Classic - "The Women," based on the famous play by Clare Booth Luce.
We listen to audio clips from this classic celluloid of feminine proportions, featuring Norma Shearer, Lucille Watson, & Mary Boland. We also take a look at the woman behind "The Women," Clare Booth Luce, whose legacy as a public figure could fill numerous volumes.
Revered in her later years as a heroine of the feminist movement, Luce was an American author, politician, U.S. Ambassador and a public conservative figure - such was the great mind behind this brilliant, witty, and indelible film.
For fans of the film, we have two words - JUNGLE RED!
Join us, Nick & Glenn, as we pay tribute to one of the most enduring and classic mystery thrillers ever put to pen: The Bat - and the woman who wrote it, Mary Roberts Rinehart.
On this Variety Attic short, we'll take a look at the evolution of The Bat - as famous play, novelization, and various film adaptations. We'll be listening to clips from these various films, in addition to another film adaptation of a Rinehart story.
We'll also take a look at it's author, Mary Roberts Rinehart, and her prolific writing career-hailed as one of the great mystery writers of the early 20th century. Although not as well remembered as Agatha Christie, Rinehart is a great contender of the mystery genre, with many titles to her name.
Mystery fans...Enjoy!
