A Matter Of Life And Death – with special guest Luke Turner

  • Résumé

  • Watching the war movies that make us think mistily of Blighty, with authors Rob Hutton and (usually, but he’s on leave this week) Duncan Weldon. This time: Don’t be upset about the parachute, we’ll have our wings soon anyway, big white ones. Upper lips will wobble as brave airman David Niven enters the afterlife in Powell & Pressburger’s 1946 masterpiece A Matter Of Life And Death, the film that launched a thousand parodies. Luke Turner, author of Men At War: Loving, Lusting, Fighting, Remembering 1939-1945 joins us to ponder this metaphysical classic. Can love conquer the grave? What is the movie telling us about the post-war US:UK relationship? Is it all really about grief? How young does Richard Attenborough look? And Kim Hunter: gosh. Written and presented by Rob Hutton. Audio production by Tom Taylor. Art by Jim Parrett. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. War Movie Theatre is a Podmasters production. www.podmasters.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.
