Welcome to a linoleum knife special.

I'm Alonzo Duralde, as always with Dave White.

Dave White.

And we're thrilled to have with us today, a dear friend of the podcast and a writer we

greatly admire and hope to be one day when we grow up.

Stephen Rovello, his previous books include Hitchcock in the Making of Psycho, at Dolls, Dolls, Dolls,

and of course, co-authoring Bad Movies We Love.

He's got a new one out.

It's called A City Full of Hawks on the Waterfront, 70 years later, still the great American contender about an American movie that continues to reverberate throughout the history of cinema on the waterfront.

Stephen Rbello, welcome to Linolium Knife.

Hello, I'm happy to be with you, gents, once again.

Oh, it's always a pleasure to hear your voice.

It's been a while since we've had you on.

Yeah, I've been remiss.

I've just not been writing books.

Now you're all going to get sick of me really quickly because there's one now and

then there's one next September and there's another one I think November of next year.

So we'll have you back and back and back.

Oh, yeah, no, all the times for sure.

So my first thought in this was, you know, you have written now extensively about Psycho Valley

of the Dolls and on the waterfront.

What do these films have in common apart from being movies that you could just write a whole book
