Acteurist Oeuvre-view – Lilli Palmer – Part 19: THE HOLCROFT COVENANT (1985) and THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND (2018)

There's Sometimes a Buggy

Our final Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode is an odd one, with Dave arguing for the value of John Frankenheimer's The Holcroft Covenant (1985), a Nazi conspiracy thriller from a novel by Robert Ludlum, and Elise arguing for the value of The Other Side of the Wind (2018), Orson Welles' startling comeback film-that-never-was. Then we give our favourite Lilli Palmer films, with rationales, and respond to some listener communiqués.
