S1. E7. A Classic Hollywood Film Still Shown on Screens and at Festivals Today is Considered Racist - Can You Guess Which One It Is? - AuthorUncut.com
I am a big fan of Turner Classic Movies and old black and white films. I prefer films from the 1940s. Especially films with classic gangsters played by Cagney, gum shoes, mysteries, complex plots. One of my all time favorite series-from this era is The Thin Man with Myrna Loy and William Powell.
If you're not familiar with these two, they are comic gold together. William plays a semi-drunk famous detective and Myrna plays his wife and the one with the fortune. They also have a dog called Asta. Love Asta.
If you love films where all the usual suspects are brought into a room before the guilty one is fingered, then you'll love these films.
But the classic film I'm talking about today is NOT The Thin Man. (Hint: Not liked by the Japanese).
In my next episode I'll be discussing "must haves" for every screenwriter from the master, Stephen King.
