About this listen
In this episode our focus is on Stardom, and our Twin Feature is The Third Man (1949) & Pale Rider (1985).
With Orson Welles in The Third Man and Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider, both films use their stars presence (or a notable lack of it) in similar ways. Two titans of cinema, Welles and Eastwood loom over these films, both as their characters within the story, and in the wider context of the film's productions. We take a look at just how impactful these stars are in regards to each films production, filmmaking, and audience perception of their characters.
