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!

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'.
Edward G. Robinson stars in this week's radio play, courtesy of the Screen Director's Playhouse.
