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

We bid Margaret Sullavan a sad farewell with her two final films, Cry 'Havoc' (1943), a very dark WWII propaganda film with an all-female main cast in which the Battle of Bataan meets Stage Door, and No Sad Songs for Me (1950), a peak-crazy woman's picture in the mode of The Shining Hour with a slyly progressive screenplay by Howard Koch. Sullavan manages to make having your man stolen from under your nose while dying and fighting fascists/propping up the empty shell-men of post-war America into a triumphant art form. Then: we give our Top 5 Sullavan performances. And in the Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, we discuss and spoil Verhoeven's lesbian nuns/nympho mystic movie, Benedetta (2021), and Preminger's glorious film noir Fallen Angel (1945).   Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:                CRY HAVOC (1943) [dir.
