Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, the movie where Tom Cruise launched his production company, and the film that made Meryl Streep an action hero. Mission: Impossible was a film whose script hadn't come together even as shooting had begun - and the ending in particular was proving to be a problem. The River Wild's script was more straightforward, but shooting the action was anything but - and then ther was the challenge of selling Meryl Streep as an action hero. Stories of both are told in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. Support our work at www.patreon.com/simonbrew. Hosted on Acast.
