Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film Coquette. I'm joined by Maria Banson from the "Brunello Bombshell" newsletter and we talk about how the filmmakers used light and darkness to highlight aspects of Norma's personality, a technical snafu that derailed an early showing of the film with sound, and the way the entire film centers around Mary Pickford.You can watch Coquette on YouTube and be sure to check out Maria's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:Our Dancing Daughters directed by Harry BeaumontA Woman of Affairs directed by Clarence BrownPandora’s Box directed by G.
