Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1928 film A Woman of Affairs. My friend Amanda Kusek from the The 90-Minute Movie newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about a complex web of love triangles, the expressive, over-the-top performance of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. as Jeffry, and whether or not the source material truly was as scandalous as history has made it out to be. You can watch A Woman of Affairs on YouTube or purchase a copy for your collection and be sure to check out Amanda's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:"Steamboat Willie" directed by Walt Disney and Ub IwerksTempest directed by Sam TaylorThe Patriot directed by Ernst LubitschWonder of Women directed by Clarence BrownMadame X directed by Lionel BarrymoreThe Count of Monte Cristo directed by Tom Persons and Francis BoggsOther referenced topics:The Green Hat (novel) by Michael Arlen (also available on Project Gutenberg)An American in Paris by George GerswhinThe Great Gatsby (novel) by F.
