Episode 821: Moontide (1942)
Notas do episódio
Is Moontide (1942) film noir, or a dockside melodrama with a hangover? Mike White, Heidi Honeycutt and Jedidiah Ayres take on Noirvember's strangest Hollywood experiment: 20th Century Fox's bid to turn French star Jean Gabin into a leading man.
Archie Mayo directed after Fritz Lang shot three weeks and quit. Gabin wakes from a blackout unsure whether he killed a man, Ida Lupino walks into the surf, and Claude Rains and Thomas Mitchell circle them. The panel weighs Lupino's performance, Salvador Dalí's mostly vanished dream sequence, the film's kinship with Out of the Fog (1941) and Port of Shadows (1938), and Willard Robertson's novel. Plus: why Bobo?
