Today's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film The Letter. I'm joined by Lewis Beer from the Slow Moving Pictures newsletter and we talk about the importance of sound right from the beginning of the film, the structural differences between the play and the film versions of the story, and the force that was Jeanne Eagles in this film that was sadly lost not long after its release.
I enjoyed this so much - thank you for having me back on the podcast, Jonathan! Such a rare treat to be able to discuss these weird and wonderful early sound films.
