True Lies (1994)

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film. 

In this episode, we’re galloping in to spy on 1994’s huge Arnie vehicle True Lies. Written and directed by a little-known chap named James Cameron, this movie was based on the French 1991 French comedy La Totale and became the third highest grossing film of 1994. Jamie Lee Curtis won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, Cameron was given the Saturn Award for Best Director and the horse was shamefully overlooked. Tonight we’ll be rewinding our Walkmans with Harry, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and ripping off our sleeves with Helen, played by Jamie Lee Curtis. Are these two one of the most intriguing married couples in 90s cinema? This gun’s for hire, even if we’re just dancing in the dark.

Recorded in February 2022.
