On this "Smackdown" edition of the podcast -that it's episode '47 featuring the year 1947 is accidental! -- Nathaniel welcomes actors Dana Delany (The Code, China Beach) and Patrick Vaill (Oklahoma), as well as lyricist Thomas Mizer (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) and culture critic Angelica Jade Bastién. We discuss the film year of 1947 but especially anti-semitic dramas Crossfire and Gentleman's Agreement (which competed for Best Picture), the Hitchcock courtroom thriller The Paradine Case, and the farm comedy The Egg and I.
