The Lost Picture Show: How Peter Bogdanovich's Final Cut Was Lost and Found

The Industry - Un pódcast de Dan Delgado

Peter Bogdanovich's final film, She's Funny That Way, came and went and barely anyone seemed to notice. However, it wasn't the movie he really made. What Peter actually filmed was a black and white screwball comedy called Squirrels to the Nuts. What happened is a typical story. The movie didn't test well and the studio changed the film completely, and no surprise the studio version bombed anyway. The original version? That was believed lost to history.Or so we thought. A few years later, James Kenney (possibly the world's biggest Bogdanovich fan) found the original version in tact. On eBay. This episode features James Kenney, documentarian Bill Teck, and Louise Stratten (Peter's ex-wife and Squirrels co-screenwriter) all helping to tell this story which seems to have an actual Hollywood Ending.
