The Hollywood Studios, Year-By-Year MGM, 1932 Red Dust & Red-Headed Woman

Published: April 17, 2020, 5:39 a.m.

Get excited about this one! In our MGM 1932 episode of The Studios Year by Year, the Culver City colossus hits its stride and proves that you don't need auteurs when you have scripts, directors, and stars. It's a Jean Harlow double feature, playing two wildly different characters in RED DUST (dir. Victor Fleming) and RED-HEADED WOMAN (dir. Jack Conway). In addition to Harlow, we discuss '30s screenwriters, Clark Gable's evolving persona, and MGM's vs. Warner Bros.' treatment of the sexual social climber.
