Today's episode is my conversation about the 1928 films Street Angel and Skyscraper. My friend Beth Lisogorsky from Beth's TV & Film Recommendations joins me to discuss the films and we talk about some of the visual touches in Street Angel, how vertigo inducing some of the images in Skyscraper are, and a wonderful relationship between to two leads in Skyscraper. Check out the previous episode where Beth and I first covered Street Angel.
