Send us Fan MailToday's episode is my conversation about the 1930 film Morocco I'm joined by Jake Myshrall who writes the Film Runner newsletter, and we talk about how stars like Marlene Dietrich were treated both on screen and off, the way von Sternberg layers the visual aspects of his film sets, and the lengths some men will go for love.
