I once again join Steven Turek on the DieCast Movie Podcast!
This time out we discuss yet another James Whale film WIVES UNDER SUSPICION
(1938). This is part 15 of the show’s loving look at Whale’s career but this
one stands out as a true oddity. It is a remake of the director’s earlier
effort THE KISS BEFORE THE MIRROR (1933) with that film’s Pre-Code frankness
blunted in interesting ways in this second version. A few months ago Steven and
I talked at length about the first film so we wanted to return to the story out
of cinematic curiosity. Comparing the two movies makes for a pretty darned good
conversation and shows how Hollywood had to adapt material to avoid censor
board attention. Check it out!
