The Smell of Murder
Host Shelly Brisbin with David J. Loehr, Nathan Alderman, Micheline Maynard, Annette Wierstra, and Randy Dotinga
Forgive a film noir detour during our international vacation season. This is episode 100, and so I’ve picked a movie I love, and that feels right in the collective LTS wheelhouse. James M. Cain’s story of betrayal and murder was directed by Billy Wilder, and stars Barbara Stanwyck (natch), Fred McMurray and Edward G. Robinson. This film is full of dynamite lines, crazy sexual chemistry, and noir lighting for days.
