EPISODE FOUR: Wild in the Country (DIR: Philip Dunne, 1961)

Dr. Movies and Mr. Ducks take up "Wild in the Country," a Serious Drama starring Elvis Prestly, who you might know from his other, less dramatic roles. Discussion includes: screenwriter Clifford Odets, a leftist snitch who was also maybe corny, the hazy period when Hollywood was trying to break into method acting and not quite succeeding, if you can see Elvis as not-Elvis (you can't), and when, exactly, it became unacceptable to bang your cousin.
