JoshRoche1: Factoid - PENNYROYAL is inspired by one of the first female winners of the Pulitzer prize for playwriting. Zoe Akins won the prestigious award in 1935, for 'The Old Maid' a stage adaptation of an Edith Wharton novella. She was succeeded only by Zona Gale and Susan Glaspell...

the_hoyk: First episode of DDD spinoff FRIENDS OF DOROTHY, where we delve into works written by Arzner collaborators. This cycle focused on playwright/poet Zoe Akins, starting on OUTCAST LADY (1934) with Constance Bennett, directed by Robert Z. Leonard
the_hoyk: FOD Ep 4, THE TOY WIFE (1938) with Luise Rainer, screenplay by Akins from Ludovic Halévy & Henri Meilhac's play FROU FROU, directed by Richard Thorpe. O the racism! O the French! O Zoe what were you thinking? We watch this so that you don't have to
the_hoyk: DDD Ep 10, ANYBODY'S WOMAN (1930) with Ruth Chatterton, written by Zoe Akins and Doris Anderson, a story that begins with a premise normally geared for farce but played straight with surprising pathos

bluegreycloset: We're closing out August by releasing the final episode of our series dedicated to the works of queer screenwriter Zoe Akins. THE OLD MAID is certainly an appropriate film to end with: it really is the *so* Zoe.
Coming soon: September is DOROTHY ARZNER MONTH, LIVE FROM L.A.!
bluegreycloset: ZAZA is a *delight* and serves as a welcome refreshment, it being one of the only cheerful films in the Zoe Akins catalogue. This film is surprisingly hard to find, but please seek it out, you'll have a lovely time.

bluegreycloset: Episode 1 of FRIENDS OF DOROTHY was released to the main feed back in April, and now the rest of the series will be available there too! And y'all, Zoe Akins is a *fascinating* character for better and worse, so I'd give these six episodes a listen.
bluegreycloset: This is the last Arzner film we'll be talking about for the rest of the month, as Marc and I shifted gears to discuss the films of Zoe Akins while accumulating the Arzner boxset, but what a film to go on a [brief] hiatus with; CRAIG'S WIFE is easily one of Arzner's best.
bluegreycloset: Also, hellooooo Zoe Akins! We'll be seeing YOU again!
the_hoyk: A particularly pivotal episode of our Arzner odyssey, as we start zeroing in on frequent collaborator Zoe Akins, whose presence will soon loom larger in future episodes, along with discussing excessive ethnic accents, fancy lads, and what a soft touch I am for tearjerkers.
jpschmader: “It’s funny how some things make you think of other things.” (That may be Lombard by way of Morrie Ryskind, Eric Hatch, or Zoë Akins, but it’s also the whole of Sebald.)

HastilyCather: "Of course, my dear Zoe, we have always had different "ideologies" (horrid word!) and as people grow older their beliefs, like their arteries, grow harder—we are less and less able to sympathetically comprehend the other fellow's point of view."

TheRealSPA: She still had two more films left on her United Artists contract. In late 1930, Samuel Goldwyn announced he had bought the film rights to Zoë Akins' comedy play The Greeks Had a Word for It for her.
bluegreycloset: I think Zoe Akins might be one of my favorite screenwriters.
the_hoyk: B & me are having so much fun in the world of Dorothy Arzner, we're bringing her friends along. And just like anyone else offering something mind-altering and addictive, this first taste is FREE! Listen to us talk about Zoe Akins' nervy queah screenplay for 1934's OUTCAST LADY!
