Girl 27 (2007) with Director David Stenn

Hello! Welcome to another edition of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes.  On this episode, we’re delighted to bring you David Stenn’s commentary for his 2007 documentary Girl 27. I only recently came across this film, in which David, in the course of researching his biography of Jean Harlow, stumbled across the story of the 1937 MGM scandal, in which rising starlet Patricia Douglas accused the film studio into tricking her into attending a stag party, during which she was raped. Incredibly, David discovered that Douglas was still alive, and tracked her down to her Las Vegas home, where he conducted extraordinary interviews with her, around which the film is constructed. You won’t need to cue this one up to the film, but needless to say, the commentary works best if you’ve seen Girl 27, which I would encourage  you to track down on YouTube or on DVD.Thanks to David for the opportunity to bring this commentary – and hopefully the film – to a wider audience.Comments?
