KINGS ROW (1942) Henry Bellamann, Ronald Reagan, Ann Sheridan. Book VS Movie
Book Vs. Movie: Kings Row (1940 novel vs 1942 Film)Today, we are joined by special guest co-host Lenny Pinna of Ecclesia Arts. This is the first of a two-part conversation with Lenny about Kings Row, and the unusual relationship its author had at the end of his life with a young fan struggling with gender identity. In this episode, we discuss:
- How Kings Row, a novel set at the end of the 1800s, is more relevant than ever.
- The differences between the book and the movie.
- The themes of class, prejudice, psychology, and sanctimony in the movie.
- Why certain characters and story lines were cut from the movie
