Tonight’s show: The current state of silent movies
February 15, 2007
Continuing our spurious anniversary month, tonight’s show coincidently coincides with the 8oth anniversary of the release of Hitchcock’s film ‘The Lodger’, so, to celebrate: having teased you with excerpts of our interview with Matthew Sweet – the writer and presenter of Silent Britain and Shepperton Babylon – for the past two weeks, tonight “I’m ready for my close-up” is proud to have Alex Fitch’s full interview with him on the subject of silent movies.
If you’re wondering whether the title of tonight’s show is a contradiction in terms… Well, you’ll just have to tune in to find out!
Regarding the podcast of last week’s (and probably this week’s) show… I’m having server problems at the moment, so there may be a bit of a delay. Sorry!
