    Ep 142: Tallulah Bankhead in Faithless (1932)

    Under contract with Paramount, Tallulah Bankhead made six pictures in less than two years. Although they all have their charm, only Faithless (1932), which she made on loan-out to Metro, was a hit at the box office. Tallulah plays a character who loses everything but her wit after the Stock Market Crash. She trades caviar for soup and learns to like it.

    Thanks to sound editor Tom O'Mahony!
