The River (1938) w/ Dr. Robert J. Snyder
"Beautiful! Stirring! Dramatic!"
Just who was Pare Lorentz? What does it mean to be "FDR's Filmmaker"? And how did government film with a covertly conservationist bent end up alongside The Godfather and Raging Bull in the second class of Registry inductees?
Our guest, Dr. Robert J. Snyder, joins us to answer those questions and more. We'll talk Lorentz's career, what it's like writing an essay for the National Film Registry, and even touch on our favorite cuss words.
