"I believed somehow that I could live through this bad dream I was having." For Episode 341, Brandon and Thomas close our Noirvember with DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS. Listen as they talk about the original novel, the casting process, how history impacted the overall world of the movie, and what landmark court case partially caused the film's disappointment at the box office. DISCLAIMER: Thomas was traveling this week, so his set-up was a bit different, and his audio was rougher in the show's first half due to computer issues.
