Peter Bogdanovich Recommends: Favorites of Presidential Election Years 1932-1944

This is part of a series of approximately five-minute reviews and comments about mainly American films; these were all created in the late '80s by Louise Stratten and me for broadcast on television.
I consider this a kind of (I hope) public service to support and encourage film lovers; most of the pictures discussed are available in some form today. PB

Just loving these videos by Peter Bogdanovich.

Check out his books Who The Devil Made It & Who The Devil's In It , for more richly expansive studies of all the key players of Hollywood's most vivid period, Lynn. Love his impressions of Howard Hawks, Jimmy Stewart and all the rest, also...

@@philiphalpenny9761 I have both of those books. You're right, they're great. Besides being scholarly accounts of the golden age of Hollywood, they're also just really great reads.

"To Have and Have Not" is for me what "Casablanca" is for everyone else - the moviest of all movies. It isn't as emotionally resonant as "Casablanca," but in every other way it's even more entertaining.
