Lux Radio adaptation of My Man Godfrey. As usual, the storytelling is condensed almost to the point of abstraction, but if you're familiar with the movie, you fill in the gaps.

Most interesting is an interview with the writer. He says that the #film was made "off the cuff," i.e. they didn't have a script. They worked out the dialogue as they went. This is quite hard to believe — I didn't think old Hollywood was ever that reckless, improvisatory.

Bei diesem Film versagt dem Mediathek-Chronisten das Wort. Und das nur, weil er ein Mann ist. Wie tief Ridley Scotts Roadmovie vor 34 Jahren in mein Kinogedächtnis eingebettet wurde, lässt sich kaum ermessen. Ich habe die beiden Protagonistinnen geliebt wie Schwestern. (ARTE)

The incident galvanized Park to file a complaint with the Screen Actors Guild and write a headline-making 'mission statement' calling for better treatment of Asian Americans in Hollywood."
