In our penultimate Dorothy McGuire Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode, another pair of films in which\xa0only\xa0one of McGuire's "mother roles" affords her a dramatic opportunity. Find out which is which, between Delmer Daves'\xa0Susan Slade\xa0(1961) and Disney's\xa0Summer Magic\xa0(1963). We also discuss stealth soap opera\xa0radicalism, compare Disney and Vincente Minnelli's approaches to femininity as a construct, and argue for the surprising distinctiveness of early 60s kewpie doll blonde heroines. As a bonus, Dave comes to the end of his patience with Bosley Crowther. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, we attend a sold-out screening of Scorsese's\xa0After Hours, which we analyze as the ultimate scapegoat movie.\xa0

P.S. We forgot to read the Leonard Maltin capsule reviews this time! Sorry, Leonard - we'll never do it again!\xa0
