Illusions

Front Row Classics is shining the spotlight on one of the underrated gems in Billy Wilder’s body of work. Brandon is joined by Benjamin Meissner to discuss 1948’s A Foreign Affair. Benjamin is a classic film enthusiast  who also is the President of the Marilyn Monroe fan club in Germany. Brandon and Benjamin discuss the wit and poignancy of this post World War II look at Berlin. They praise the performances of Jean Arthur, John Lund and especially Marlene Dietrich in one of her finest screen roles. Benjamin also helps to shine a spotlight on how Wilder uses Berlin as a character unto itself in the film.
