This Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode tackles two more films made with leftist colleagues, Elliott Nugent's My Girl Tisa, a Popular Front-style tale of early 20th century immigrants and the American Dream, and Lewis Milestone\u2019s quirky, stylistically inventive comedy\xa0No Minor Vices\xa0(written by Arnold Manoff). We also watched\xa0Fran\xe7ois Villiers' fascinating\xa0Hans le Marin\xa0(also known as\xa0Wicked City), a vehicle for Maria Montez co-starring and co-written by her husband, Jean-Pierre Aumont, which Elise considers the Frenchest movie she's ever seen; Palmer co-stars as the Romani rival to Aumont's obsession. And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we talk about Kira Muratova's\xa0The Long Farewell\xa0(1971), a saga of the tormenting love between a mother and her teenage son, told in a distinctive style that did not find favour with the Soviet authorities during the Brezhnev era.\xa0
