In this episode, Eliana and Simone talk with Joseph McBride about his book, George Cukor’s People: Acting for a Master Director! George Cukor’s People is a critical study of the legendary director, highlighting his ability to bring out deeply emotional and psychologically rich performances from actors while subtly infusing his work with themes of gender fluidity and social transgression. Through insightful essays and lavish illustrations, McBride challenges the reductive stereotype of Cukor as merely a "woman’s director," instead portraying him as a masterful, subversive filmmaker whose legacy remains strikingly modern.
