Episode 92: 1947 with April Wolfe
A podcast about the great movie years.
Happy first day of fall, everybody!
Screenwriter (and former film critic and podcaster) April Wolfe joins us to talk up the postwar pleasures of 1947, so bring your nun’s habits (Black Narcissus), femme fatales (Out of the Past) and questionable Irish accents (The Lady from Shanghai).
