S3E02 - The Marriage Circle [1924] with Sarah Shachat

Sarah Shachat joins us on-location in New York City to discuss THE MARRIAGE CIRCLE. We mull over the evolution this film represents in Lubitsch’s tone, the strange pairing of Ernst Lubitsch and the Warner Brothers, the luminous Adolphe Menjou, Lubitsch’s bewilderingly advantageous contractual terms, his filmmaking philosophy circa the mid 1920s, the art of splitting couples up at parties, and, of course, Harry The Cameraman’s unbelievable story about nickels and bodily organs.

Recorded in New York City by Anna Citak-Scott.

Edited by Gloria Mercer.
