Today's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film Coquette. I'm joined by
from the newsletter and we talk about how the filmmakers used light and darkness to highlight aspects of Norma's personality, a technical snafu that derailed an early showing of the film with sound, and the way the entire film centers around Mary Pickford.You can watch Coquette on YouTube and be sure to check out Maria's newsletter.
