Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film Disraeli. I'm joined by Jeff Kramer from The Death Star Human Resources Department Newsletter and we talk about British politics in the late 1800s, how well George Arliss carries the entire film as the title character, and how it seems like the Russians always make good spies and adversaries in movies regardless of the time period. You can watch Disraeli on YouTube and be sure to check out Jeff's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:Disraeli (1921) directed by Henry KolkerAlexander Hamilton directed by John G.
