3.92-Street of Chance with Amanda Kusek
Update: 2025-11-14
Description
Today's episode is my conversation about the 1930 film Street of Chance. I'm joined by Amanda Kusek from The 90-Minute Movie newsletter and we talk about how the gambling murder in the film ands up being front page news, how it is sometimes easier to follow a silent film than a sound film with poor sound quality, and how many of the stars of this film had just started acting in films after having successful Broadway careers.
You can watch Street of Chance online for yourself and be sure to check out Amanda's newsletter.
