Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (Episode 79) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky - a podcast by Dan Domingues & Vicky Aguero

Karel Reisz had never directed a feature before and was committed to capturing the gritty reality of living in working class Nottingham, England.  Not only did he shoot the film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning in actual Nottingham locations but he arrived several weeks before shooting with a small film crew to become acquainted with the town and it's denizens.  When famed cinematographer Freddie Francis and stars Albert Finney, Rachel Roberts, and Shirley Ann Field added their talents to the film, what emerged was the 14th greatest British film of all time out of 100 according to the British Film Institute.

Dan and Vicky discuss this seminal film in British history, their second starring Albert Finney (Under the Volcano).  They also catch us up on holiday plans, Christmas office parties, and the end of Dan's off-Broadway play.  Recently seen movies and TV include Bad Moms Christmas, 1959's Terror is a Man, Netflix documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, Spanish horror film Veronica, 1977's Rolling Thunder and The Lodgers.  

Everybody's working for the weekend because Hot Date 79: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning is here.  Listen and leave us some feedback.
