For this very special bonus episode, Brian talks to author James L. Neibaur, who literally wrote the book on Director William Beaudine! He has also written more than 30 other books examining legendary actors, filmmakers, and film genres, often exploring them film by film. His subjects include Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, Jean Harlow, Judy Garland, Clark Gable, James Cagney, Clint Eastwood, the Monster Movies of Universal Studios and more, but this discussion is focused on his book Directed by William Beaudine: An Overview. For this bonus, Brian chats with Neibaur about Beadine and his career, in line with the director tribute taking place throughout the month of April at the New Beverly and the Video Archives Cinema Club.
