Film critic and podcast host Alonso Duralde previously joined us for a discussion about 1950s Hollywood, and it was such a treat to have him return to the show. He recently published the film history compendium Hollywood Pride: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Representation and Perseverance in Film, so what better film for us to watch together than William Wyler’s 1961 opus of lesbian shame, THE CHILDREN’S HOUR, starring Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine.
