The Reckless Moment (Episode 197) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Joan Bennett and James Mason, in only his third US film, play blackmailee and blackmailer respectively in director Max Ophuls' The Reckless Moment - his tale of a harried housewife whose life is turned upside down when her daughter accidentally kills a cad boyfriend and Bennett tries to cover it up. After directing only five American films, German born Ophuls returned to France, where he was a citizen, and continued to direct until his untimely death at age 54. Despite a relatively small output, Ophuls is nonetheless considered a true auteur.

Dan and Vicky discuss the film along with lots of recently seen including the new Crow, Caitlin Cronenberg's Humane, Alien: Romulus, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Killer and Shudder series Horror's Greatest.
