Bedtime Story (1964) with Molly Penny and Zach Stolz

The Cinema Bums are joined by Molly Penny and Zach Stolz to start their brand new miniseries about the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels films! The Marlon Brandon/David Niven con man comedy Bedtime Story was roundly considered a problematic flop in 1964, and yet it has been remade twice in the last sixty years. Join our quartet as they attempt to discern what it is about this film that made its concept stand the test of time. There is also much discussion about the film's breakout star, Harriet the Seagull. Listen in to hear Wade talk about his Animal Crossing island, Emmet learn a shocking truth about his MVP pick, Molly regale us with tales of Julie Andrews and Oscar politicking, and Zach serenade us with some selections from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: The Musical. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!
