Heart Of Podness

We're kicking off our series on DC Onscreen with a look at the romance of Otto Preminger's 1962 Senate drama Advise & Consent! Join in as we discuss the movie's deployment of star Henry Fonda, the tension between Preminger's liberalism and Allen Drury's Pulitzer-winning novel, and the real-life incidents that inspired the story. Plus: What stunt castings did Preminger want (and get) for the movie? How effective is its then-controversial depiction of gay people? And, most importantly, is Gene Tierney's Dolly Harrison the coolest woman we'll see in this series? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: D.C. Cab (1983) - available here via the Internet Archive!-----------------------------------------------------Key sources and links for this episode:Bosley Crowther's review of Advise & Consent (New York Times)"Hollywood's Biggest Washington Movie Goofs" (Washingtonian Magazine)"Otto Preminger, 1960-1979 (The Old Man is Still Alive, Part 7)&qu
