Show Notes

Welcome back to "Love Streams: The John Cassavetes Podcast," where Allison and John (a filmmaker and a film studies scholar who just happened to be married to each other) discuss the films directed by American film director, John Cassavetes. In this episode, John and Allison gear up to watch Cassavetes' 1968 masterpiece, Faces. That means it's time to talk about the context of this film, some bits of production history, as well as John and Allison's words of wisdom for watching this movie. Get ready for lots of singing, dancing, drinking, performing, blustering, corporate glad-handing, Diet Pepsi, marketing jargon, marital jargon, joking that quickly turns into arguing, arguing that quickly turns into joking, and several unforgettable performances, including the often underappreciated performances by Fred Draper and Val Avery.
