Morocco (1930) w/ Alonso Duralde
"Who is this woman who scorns a hundred men...to give her love to a Devil-May-Care Soldier?" Alonso Duralde, author of the new book Hollywood Pride, joins us to talk the lady in the tux who takes center stage on the cover of his book, as we dive into 1930's war-torn romance, Morocco. We examine the film's queer undertones (or, really, overtones), the iconography of Marlene Dietrich, and what the film shares in common with a Kevin Smith movie from the 90s.
