Whipsmart!

Artwork.jpg

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!

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...
