b'This week on The Spectator Film Podcast… Seconds (1966) 6.21.19 Featuring: Austin, Maxx Commentary track begins at 13:00 — Notes — We watched the Criterion Collection release of\\xa0Seconds for the show this week. It looks wonderful and includes lots of neat bonus features, including a commentary track from John Frankenheimer. ‘Seconds: Reborn Again’ by David Sterritt from\\xa0The Current A Little Solitaire: John Frankenheimer and American Film edited by Murray Pomerance and R. Barton Palmer — Here’s a really nice collection of essays on Frankenheimer’s entire career – opposed to focusing only on his 60’s work – and it serves as a great critical introduction to his work. There’s several good essays in here discussing\\xa0Seconds. ‘”The Old Vines are Buried Deep” Classical Motifs in John Frankenheimer’s\\xa0Seconds‘ by Sean Easton from\\xa0Illonois Classical Studies — Here’s a really neat essay that examines some of the Greco-Roman motifs in the film, some of which we discussed during the commentary but not to this extent. It illuminates an additional layer of subtext to this already fascinating film. — Corrections — We never had a chance to really mention it, but fun fact: the camera crew for\\xa0Seconds also included John Alonzo – no wonder the camerawork is so fantastic.'
