Purple Noon

In ‘Have You Seen...?’ film school fugitives Scott Vander Werf and David Hast chat about their favorite movies, movie genres, and the people who made and make the movies. They select from all of movie history; from the beginnings of the art form more than a century ago, through the golden age of Hollywood, world cinema, and up to the present day. Scott and David aim for a blend of nostalgia and education, shedding light on the who, why, and how of the movies. ‘Have You Seen…?’ is a production of WGVU Public Radio in Grand Rapids, MI.
