A Warners, 1935 Borzage/Kay Francis/George Brent double feature:\xa0Stranded, in which Francis plays a sort of socialite social worker who's romanced by Brent's conservative he-man construction boss; and\xa0Living on Velvet, in which Francis is determined to overcome\xa0Brent's insouciant death-wish. As usual, Borzage delivers romance with a difference. We discuss Depression-era Liberal Republicanism, argue about whether\xa0Living on Velvet's ennui is adequately dramatized, and argue for Julius Epstein as a screenwriting auteur. But what does a Welsh clown have to do with anything? Listen to find out!
