Another Kind Of Distance: A Time Travel, Twin Peaks, Film, Doom Patrol And Nostalgia Podcast

Our Gloria Grahame Acteurist Oeuvre-view continues with A Woman's Secret (1949), an oddball psychological drama with a screenplay by Citizen Kane writer Herman J. Mankiewicz and directed by Grahame's new husband Nicholas Ray; and Roughshod (1949), a consciously feminist Western written by a bunch of leftists. Proving her versatility-within-typecasting yet again, Grahame moves easily from the unlikely comic centre of a noirish vortex to a sympathetic sex worker in a fallen woman melodrama that uses the Western genre to deconstruct masculinity. (And if that makes it sound dull, it's also incredibly dark at moments, with John Ireland raising the tension as a nasty villain.) And in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we talk about Rear Window, voyeurism, movie-watching, and scapegoats.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:    A WOMAN’S SECRET (1949) [dir.
