Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film The Divine Lady. I'm joined by Janelle Miley from the "Right Now, You Like Me" newsletter and we talk about how closely the film aligns with the real life story of Emma Hamilton, some incredible naval battle sequences for the time period, and compare this film to some other Frank Lloyd directed films of the time that we have seen.You can watch The Divine Lady on YouTube and be sure to check out Janelle's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:"Plane Crazy" directed by Ub Iwerks and Walt DisneySyncopation directed by Bert GlennonWings directed by William A.
