Love is a Crime
It’s one of the wildest scandals in Hollywood history: In 1951, major Hollywood producer Walter Wanger (Jon Hamm) went to prison for shooting an agent who he suspected was having an affair with Joan Bennett (Zooey Deschanel), Wanger’s actress wife. When the dust settled, Wanger was accepted back into Hollywood’s inner circle with open arms, while a puritan panic virtually ended Bennett’s career in movies and her family would never be the same. How did Joan — the youngest member of one of America’s most famous acting families, and one of the key femme fatales of 1940s film noir — end up a real-life fallen woman, paying a public price for her husband’s crimes? In this limited podcast series, Joan and Walter’s granddaughter/filmmaker Vanessa Hope, and film historian/podcaster Karina Longworth (You Must Remember This), tell the untold story of the Bennett/Wanger romance and professional partnership — a film noir played out in real life.

I’m a huge fan of Karina’s work and this was a wonderful project that taught so much film history throughout! My only complaint was with the voice acting from Zooey Deschanel and John Hamm. I love both of these actors but their performances here are old-Hollywood stereotypes rather than embodying these real people.

Wow, what a life journey she had. As a fan of Dark Shadows, somehow I always found Joan Bennett fascinating. I wrote a fan letter once and she wrote back! Who knew that backstory was so intriguing as well. Kudos to the podcast writers, cast and crew for making listening so enjoyable and educational. While much of her life was outlined contentiously, I feel the podcast reveals the strength she exhibited throughout and garners posthumous, well-deserved appreciation.

Fascinating story and good writing and acting but OMG they needed an editor. It’s 10 chapters. It feels so tightly stretched and added to and propped to fill 10 episodes.
