The Old Hollywood Times Podcast

On the third episode of The Old Hollywood Times official podcast, host Wesley Emblidge talks with Charlie Chaplin biographer and archivist Jeffrey Vance about Chaplin’s oft-criticized 1942 rerelease of his 1925 silent film The Gold Rush. They discuss the differences between the two versions, Chaplin’s motivations behind those changes, and their favorite parts of both versions.

Today we’re launching The Old Hollywood Times official podcast with an episode dedicated to the career and death of Carole Lombard. In this episode, host Wesley Emblidge talks with Dr. Emily Carman, professor of film studies at Chapman University’s Dodge College, whose book “Independent Stardom: Freelance Women in the Hollywood Studio System” looks partly at Lombard’s career, and how she worked as a freelance agent rather than with one studio. We discuss this, along with one of our favorite Lombard films, “My Man Godfrey”, in the episode.
