72.3 The Remakes Tribunal: The Winslow Boy, Body of Evidence

Continuing Issue 72 of the monthly magazine podcast of the discerning film nerd. This is the Remakes Tribunal and still on the theme of courtroom and legal films. Our Remake on Trial asks if there was a good reason for David Mamet to update a 1940s film of an Edwardian court case with 1999's The Winslow Boy. Then have our toughest case yet on the Parole Board: is there any way, any way at all, to redeem or improve the infamous Madonna-led "erotic" "thriller" Body of Evidence?

This Issue's Double Reel Monthly and Classics and Hidden Gems are already out and next week we have a Spotlight on Taika Waititi.
