Ep #5 - Kiss, Marry, Kill in the 60s: 1960
Letter Never Sent (1960)
Bart D’Alauro. Age: youthful forties. Occupation: organizing films. Not just organizing films, but madly, passionately, illogically, miserably, all-consumingly sorting them by the year they were released. In a moment you'll see his mad genius, because Bart D’Alauro, the young gentleman so much in love with organizing, will take a short but very meaningful journey into a game. A game Cinema60 calls Kiss, Marry, Kill. A variation on the ol’ FMK game but to be played year by year as we go through the decade.
In this episode of Cinema60, Bart and Jenna challenge each other to choose one film they love (“Marry”), one film they want to see (“Kiss”), and one film they hate (“Kill”) that was released in the year 1960.
