    Why is there just a 20 minute podcast with Adrian Lyne? The interviewer barely asked any questions. Also, besides the question about the veterans’ reaction to the film, most of the question for basic and uninteresting.

    What an amazing interview with 96-year-old actress Nancy Olson, who co-starred in SUNSET BLVD., from 75 years ago. There aren’t many people from that era still around.
