Hollywood Studios Year-by-Year Warner Brothers 1940: THE LETTER & ALL THIS, AND HEAVEN TOO
Our Warner Bros. 1940 episode this time is a Bette Davis double feature in which Bette plays the Other Woman in two melodramas based on real-life sex-and-murder scandals, but the Wronged Woman in only one. We discuss the combination of sexual repression and critique of colonialism in William Wyler's\xa0The Letter\xa0and Anatole Litvak's study of societal constraints and thwarted romance with the very different setting of the last years of the Orl\xe9ans monarchy in mid-19th century Paris, All This, and Heaven Too. Then, in a quick and dirty Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we evaluate David Cronenberg's mind-fuck gaming movie,\xa0eXistenZ, from 1999\xa0(with spoilers, so skip it if you want your mind to be a virgin for the experience).\xa0
