3.60-Thunderbolt with Jake Myshrall

2

Today's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film Thunderbolt. I'm joined by

from the newsletter and we talk about the innovative ways von Sternberg used sound even in this early sound film, the prevalence of gallows humor throughout the second half of the film, and how various actors are adjusting to the use of sound in film.

You can watch Thunderbolt on YouTube and be sure to check out Jake's newsletter.
