Acteurist oeuvre-view Margaret Sullavan Part 3: NEXT TIME WE LOVE (1936) & THE MOONS OUR HOME (1936)

Published: Sept. 3, 2021, 5:23 a.m.

Our third Margaret Sullavan Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode features another odd juxtaposition:\xa0Next Time We Love\xa0(1936), a melodrama of ideas that pairs Sullavan with Jimmy Stewart for the first time; and\xa0The Moon's Our Home, a (flat) screwball comedy in which\xa0she co-stars with ex-husband Henry Fonda (1936). We do some deep reflecting on love, gender roles, and human potential, and try to get a grasp on the Sullavan persona.\xa0
