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...?

Gentlemen Thieves!

In this episode of Attaboy Clarence...

Charles Aznavour guides us, musically, into this week's theme... thieves!

It's John vs Lionel in the Battle Of The Barrymores, but who will come out on top? Arsene Lupin the master thief, or the detective trailing him? The answer may surprise you, in 1932's Arsene Lupin, one of the racier crime thrillers of the pre-code era...

We're then in the company of that most refined of gentleman thieves - Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman from 1930, starring Ronald Colman and Kay Francis, and featuring a wonderful second act heist!

We'll take a trip back in time for another edition of Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?

And there's radio entertainment from the Screen Director's Playhouse!

Very Different Darkness...

In this week’s show…

Let your imagination take you on a journey to… some… bar…?

Rob Bowman returns with another delightful musical selection!

Another chance to guess the mystery star in Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?

Reviews of two movies, both on the theme of darkness but in a very different way… Firstly, Edward G. Robinson sells his soul for a story in the terrifyingly bleak ‘Five Star Final’, and then Irene Dunne and Robert Taylor must find their way back to the light in ‘Magnificent Obsession’

Radio entertainment comes from the Screen Director’s Playhouse

Night Has A Thousand Eyes

Attaboy Clarence Podcast Artwork.jpg

In this week's show, Adam is revolted by Orson Welles' attempt at an Irish accent in 'The Lady From Shanghai', but manages to find two worse examples (if such a thing is possible). He tells Lon Chaney (a very unsuitable Dracula indeed) to man up, and directs your attention to a classic collection coming soon to Blu-Ray.
Reviews this week are 'Horror Island', 'Night Has A Thousand Eyes', 'The Devil-Doll' and the sublime Val Lewton production, 'The Leopard Man'.
