Episode Synopsis

Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film The Valiant. I'm joined by Matthew Carlson from the "What Am I Making" newsletter and we talk about an unexpected prison jazz band, how the limitations of the film technology of the time impacted how stories were told on film, and how a very short play was adapted into a substantially longer film for this story.You can watch The Valiant on YouTube and be sure to check out Matthew's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:The Cocoanuts directed by Joseph Santley and Robert FloreyUnaccustomed As We Are directed by Lewis R.
