Listen "34: I'm Sorry. I'll Stop Talking about Joan Blondell."
Episode Synopsis
James Cagney became a star, Mae Clark took a grapefruit to the face and Jean Harlow made an impression. It’s an early “talkie” by William Wellman that’s both a blueprint for what would come later, and a uniquely brutal take on the gangster genre. Shelly Brisbin with Dr. Drang and Nathan Alderman.
