Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1930 film The Rogue Song. I'm joined by Helen Cox from the Movies of Note newsletter and we talk about how MGM could let a momentous film like this end up lost over the years, the incredible work put in by YouTuber Unreeled8 to recreate the film from what we do have remaining, and how MGM marketed the film as a Laurel and Hardy production rather than relying on the relatively new stars that featured more prominently in the film. You can watch the reconstruction of The Rogue Song by Unreeled8 on YouTube and be sure to check out Helen's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:Big directed by Penny MarshallThe Birds directed by Alfred HitchcockSuch Men Are Dangerous directed by Kenneth HawksSingin' in the Rain directed by Stanley Donen and Eugene KellyRaider of the Lost Ark directed by Steven SpielbergMadame X directed by Lionel BarrymoreHollywood Revue of 1929 directed by Charles F.
