Whipsmart!

In this week’s show…

… a TRIO of fabulous movies to tell you about!

1932’s ‘The Beast Of The City’, an ultra-violent Pre-Code prototype of the Scorsese movies to come!

1935’s ‘Whipsaw’ sees a cat-and-cat game of wits between jewel robber, Myrna Loy and lovestruck government agent, Spencer Tracy!

And common-sense reigns supreme, all the way to the Supreme Court in fact, in Columbia’s delightfully intelligent comic-drama, ‘The Talk Of The Town’ from 1942, starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ronald Colman.

Sookie drops in to talk about how she’s managing in the current situation, and radio entertainment comes courtesy of the Lux Radio Theatre!

Episode 88: All About Myrna

This week's show is dedicated to a very special lady...

Myrna Loy remains one of the Golden Age's most beloved stars. But do you know how she got her start? And what can the marvellous Brook Darnell dig up about her from the Library Of Congress in this week's edition of 'Brook's Inside Looks'?

There's also music from Bob Hope, as well as a flying visit to the Question Pot!

Reviews this week are of four Myrna movies: I Love You Again (1940), The Thin Man Goes Home (1945), Too Hot To Handle (1938), and Libeled Lady (1936).

Radio entertainment this week comes from the Lux Radio Theatre AND Suspense...

Episode 17: Who Is Number Fifteen?

Welcome back, everyone!

Forget your contemporary pop stars, why didn’t the ‘Spry’ song ever permeate the national consciousness?

Not only that, but it’s ‘Summer Money Time’, a time to be consistently interrupted.

Adam deals out lashings of High-Octane-80’s-High-Fives to all the good folk who’ve been making his days lately, and the Sexist Advertisement Klaxon once again rears its politically incorrect head.

What’s the most inappropriate radio show that a grammatically worrying “Just Right Sweet” sugar coated treat could possibly be linked to? 

Join ‘The Attaboy Clarence Film Club’ and sound off, damn you.

PLUS, reviews of the nail-biting noir-thriller ‘The Woman In The Window’, the Cagney comedy ‘The Irish In Us’ ("O’HARA"), a horribly disappointing version of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Black Cat’ starring Basil Rathbone, and James Stewart’s first movie, ‘The Murder Man’.

The radio play this week is an intriguing slice of mystery and drama, entitled ‘Libel’, from the Lux Radio Theatre, so turn the volume up, and settle back in for the just right sweet return of The Attaboy Clarence Podcast!
