The Cinema of Edward G. Robinson
Manage episode 274879536 series 2157025
An actor that was so great people were afraid he might inspire Al Capone to murder and turn Americans into communists; Edward G. Robinson. In this episode, we'll learn what it takes to make it as an actor in a world that screams "Hell no, ugly!", that some old movies have sketchy titles and the importance of Edward's "third leg".
[And a "mummer" is an actor in a traditional masked mime, especially of a type associated with Christmas and popular in England in the 18th and early 19th centuries.]
Don't forget that the movie playlist can be found on the Elton Reads A Book A Week Twitter page.
