TV & Film:Film History
Margaret Herrick Library Director Matt Severson joins us to discuss THE MERRY JAIL, Lubitsch’s first operetta adaptation. It’s a big step forward towards the recognizable comedy of manners that would become Lubitsch’s trademark, and a great jumping off point to discuss the beginnings of his stylistic tendencies.
NEXT WEEK:Peter Labuza joins us to discuss I DON’T WANT TO BE A MAN. For details on where to find this film, check out our resources page.
