Get ready to climb the magical staircase as we babble about the time travelling film noir gem Repeat Performance (1947). The film is often overlooked, but overlooked no more as we delve into its sequinned delights!
The film stars Joan Leslie as Sheila Page, who opens the film with a gun in her hand and her almost always drunk husband Barney, dead at her feet. And then things start to get a little more complicated as we relive the year leading up to the fateful shooting.
On the way though, we encounter poets, drunks, shower caps, another invalid waddle, theatre folk, parping orange blossoms, the source of The Smiths’ entire back catalogue and inevitable break-up, along with a whole heap o’ deceit!
The film is a great example of how even the genres you think you know can throw the odd curveball every now and then. As Time Babble would too, if we could throw.
Time Babble Series Three, Episode Four, is waiting for you now on Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and other good podcast services. If you can’t find it on your usual streaming service, please write in to the usual address.
