The Bribe (Episode 163) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky
Manage episode 353030724 series 1214984
A starry cast brings 1949's The Bribe to life. Robert Taylor, Ava Gardner, Charles Laughton, Vincent Price and John Hodiak are all on a fictitious Caribbean island together falling in love and scheming to steal leftover ammunition parts. This somewhat forgotten noir was written by Marguerite Roberts, whose career was put on hold when she was blacklisted in 1951 for refusing to testify in front of the House Unamerican Activities Committee. It was nine years before she would resurface and write several award nominated screenplays, including the one that would win John Wayne his only Oscar, True Grit.
Dan and Vicky discuss the off beat noir along with plenty of recently seen including The Sadness, Sissy, Tar, The Fablemans, and more films off of the Sight and Sound best films of all time list.
