Wet Bandits

In this bumper edition of Attaboy Clarence, there's a hopping offering from Dean Martin...

We answer the burning question, "What does Vaseline have against brunettes?"

We're feeling a little of the "Lubitsch Touch" with an adventure in the company of a plucky plumber and a down-at-heel professor...

And then Lenore Aubert proves that she's just as good at playing Zorro as the men!

And we cap it all off with a radio double-bill! Charles Boyer and Dorothy McGuire light up the airwaves, and can John "The Brighton Strangler" Loder finally show us that he can act...?

In this week’s show we’re celebrating a trio of horror movies so bad that they’re almost endearingly so.

The first stars the most annoying human being ever born. The second stars the most unemotional strangler ever born. And the third stars a horror icon as a Teen Wolf/Abraham Lincoln ape monster with a penchant for hats and coats!

Music come from Bing, Bog and the 1940’s answer to Johnny Rotten, Mr Jimmy Dorsey!

There’s another brain-teaser as we try to guess… Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?

There’s a dive into the QUESTION POT!

AND there’s a classic episode of radio horror featuring one of the greatest of all time!

This week’s show sees the Golden Age’s most glamorous import, Miss Hedy Lamarr take centre stage!

We’re reviewing her 1947 drama-thriller, ‘Dishonored Lady’, as well as featuring one of her greatest radio hits, co-starring alongside William Powell!

We’re cruising into court for a marvellous pre-code courtroom thriller, and Rita Hayworth may or may not have done it, in a swell-egant French comic drama alongside Glenn Ford!

Music comes from The InkSpots and Bing Crosby, and there’s even another chance for you to guess Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?

Radio entertainment comes from the Lux Radio Theatre

Episode 18: Heavenly Creatures

This week, we’re in the arms of the angels….

Movieland was obsessed with them in the 1940’s, so we take a closer look at three prime examples of the afterlife, as seen in the movies ‘A Matter Of Life And Death’, ‘The Bishop’s Wife’, and ‘Here Comes Mr Jordan’.

We’ll hear an urbane reaction to the first Film Club choice, as well as details of the newest addition.

Vintage adverts come in the form of Skelly Men, Golden Whistles and Pepsi Cola (“Quiet, Kay”)

The radio play was just too hard to decide upon this week, which led Adam to make a drastic decision…

…and REVEALED! The name and subject of the next special, due in just a few episodes time…

The Brighton Strangler

Attaboy Clarence Podcast Artwork.jpg

Adam fixes the sound, experiments with chamber pots, reviews 'Night Key', loses it completely whilst trying to describe the sheer brilliance of 'The Brighton Strangler' (CANTERBURY!), announces 'The Top 3 Most Disappointing Witticisms That Ever Happened... During A Sword Fight', thanks some special people, and brings you a very apt radio play.
