Ep. 25: ‘To Each His Own (1946)’ or ‘The Two Olivia’s’

Zach is joined by Author and Filmmaker Olivia Carmel (A How To Guide on Surviving Your First Bee Sting) to unravel the emotional highs and the lows found in Mitchell Leisen’s 1946 picture, ‘To Each His Own’, and the triumph of its star, Olivia de Havilland.

Get ready to have all the feelings as the two discover how the film holds a true balance that can make melodrama work, soak in the rich detail courtesy of Leisen’s direction, sing the absolute praises of Roland Culver, ponder over the outdated elements in the film plot, and learn a bit more about one….. BILL GOODWIN.

Within the episode is a story of courage and tenacity as the two dig as deep as one can into the life of the films star, Olivia de Havilland, and how her noble actions changed Hollywood for the better.

In all of this you will still find a moment or two to giggle at such fun matters as what not to do on a date while in a airplane and learning that Leisen made a 30 second Scorsese movie.

PLUS: Olivia de Havilland as Batman.
