Our two Dorothy McGuire movies for this week are wildly different in tone: Samuel Goldwyn's\xa0I Want You\xa0(1951, directed by Mark Robson), about a family's reaction to the Korean War draft, and, for MGM, the Jamesian melodrama\xa0Invitation\xa0(1952, directed by Gottfried Reinhardt). Dave makes the case for\xa0I Want You\xa0as a complex leftist look at early Cold War America, and then we unpack the Jamesian tropes of\xa0Invitation, with its complicated flashback structure. And in our\xa0Fear and Moviegoing\xa0in Toronto segment, we share our first experience of the extraordinarily intense films of Hungarian auteur M\xe1rta M\xe9sz\xe1ros, discussing\xa0Nine Months\xa0(1976) and\xa0The Two of Them\xa0(1977).
