This week we're celebrating the Cary Comes Home Festival in Bristol - the 2026 event running from 27th-29th November. As such, we welcome Festival Director and Professor of Cinema Arts, Professor Charlotte Crofts to discuss two of the movies screening this year. Those films are Only Angels Have Wings from 1939 and Operation Petticoat from 1959. Dovetailing Cary Grant's career nicely, we begin to dissect what made Archie Leach into Bristol's greatest cinematic export.
Timings for this week are:
Only Angels Have Wings: (16:14)
Operation Petticoat: (45:15)

One of the great books to be released on film scores (apart from The Sound of Cinema by a guy called Sean Wilson) is out in paperback now. To celebrate, we spoke with co-authors of Mark Kermode's Surround Sound: The Stories of Movie Music, Mark Kermode and Jenny Nelson about their process, the book, where they feel the industry is currently among many other topics. Plenty of Goldsmith Gong's in this one!
