This week we’re deviating a bit from our original flight plan. When Jennifer set out on this series her intent was—well, and still is—to study the great movies of Hollywood’s Golden Era to see if she thinks they’re great, and to look at what makes them great. Our movie today, 1943’s Flesh and Fantasy, is NOT great. But it IS fun. So, why not go where the fun takes us, and do a little exploring? This is actually part one of a double feature. Today we’re focused on Flesh and Fantasy, but next week we’re going to look at its precursor—1942’s Tales of Manhattan. If you like Twilight-Zonie-type anthologies, this one’s for you. We're journeying into a wondrous land of imagination, on this week's episode of the Vintage Century Idle Hour.
