    Sisters In Crime
    Jul 13 2025
    This time around, join me as I present two movies in which the girls are planted squarely at the heart of matters. In 1939's Within The Law, Ruth Hussey is the wrongfully convicted shopgirl who exacts a diabolical revenge on the big business magnate who showed no mercy. In 1937's She's Dangerous, a thief turns out to be a double-agent, working for the law to defeat a gang of racketeers, but ending up on trial for a murder she didn't commit!

    This time round, I'm paying tribute to one of Old Hollywood's most remarkable character actors - the wonderful Alan Mowbray - and his appearance in two films, in which he played the very same character... Elsewhere, who knew there was a board dedicated to the survival of cupcakes? We're dropping in with the What's My Line gang for another round of Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend? And radio entertainment comes courtesy of a very special one-off adaptation of one of history's greatest humorists!

Attaboy Indeed

Hours and hours of spellbinding entertainment listening to Adam as he reveals things you never knew about the Golden Age of cinema and to radio plays from yesteryear (which brings back memories of doing housework with Mum enlivened by gripping stories on the radio…miss that). There’s laughter, nostalgia, facts abound and you’ll always be left wanting more. Just brilliant and when you throw in the magical “Question Pot” and “Brook” theme songs, well you just can’t go wrong!

Thoroughly entertaining

Whether you’re a fan of Old Hollywood or just someone who appreciates stepping back to the thirties and forties, this podcast provides hours of entertainment. Adam is genuinely funny and engaging, and the stories told have to introduced me to an entire world of cinema that I never knew. An absolute cracker of a podcast.
