Episode 19: ‘Lady in the Lake’ (1947)

In this episode, Debbi Mack and F.R. Jameson discuss the weird curiosity which is the film noir Lady in the Lake from 1947. Here’s where you can access the video episode. PS: Writers will get a laugh out of this Wikipedia description of the plot: Tired of the low pay of his profession, hard-boiled Los Angeles private detective Phillip Marlowe submits a murder story to Kingsby Publications. He is invited to the publisher’s offices to discuss his work, but soon realizes it is merely a ploy. A few days before Christmas, publishing executive Adrienne Fromsett hires him to locate Chrystal Kingsby, the wife of her boss, Derace Kingsby. Like being a writer was ever a high-paying position. Ha! And the movie just gets funnier from there. Because it’s also the World’s Weirdest Christmas Movie. CORRECTION: The actor I identified as Audrey Meadows is actually her sister, Jayne Meadows. Close, but no cigar! 🙂
