Acteurist Oeuvre-view Lilli Palmer Part 19: THE HOLCROFT COVENANT (1985) and THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND (2018)

Published: Aug. 16, 2024, 4:01 a.m.

Our final Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode is an odd one, with Dave arguing for the value of John Frankenheimer's The Holcroft Covenant\xa0(1985), a Nazi conspiracy thriller from a novel by Robert Ludlum, and Elise arguing for the value of\xa0The Other Side of the Wind\xa0(2018), Orson Welles' startling comeback film-that-never-was. Then we give our favourite Lilli Palmer films, with rationales, and respond to some listener communiqu\xe9s.\xa0
