It's 1957 and a bunch of men are whistling to work.

The movie The Bridge on the River Quai.

Hello and welcome to Unschool. I'm Amy Nicholson.

And I am Paul Sheer and this is the podcast for each week we watch one film from the AFI's Top 100 greatest films of all time list.

2007 edition to see if they are really as good as people say. Do they hold up and how have they influenced the films that we watch now?

Today we'll be talking about The Bridge on the River Quai.

Now two weeks ago in our last regular scheduled episode we talked about Martin Scorsese's good fellows.

And we're going to get into all those comments here today. Amy, before that I want to say I loved your article in the San Antonio Express.

That was such a great piece.

Oh, thank you. That's my hometown newspaper. I was so touched that I wanted to talk about movies and about the show.

I love San Antonio. I really appreciate all of the reading that I got to do in that newspaper when I was a child.

To get to be in it. It's lovely. There's something about being in your home down to this paper where you're best friend from your first grade school.

Like says hi and you're like, oh, hi, I miss you.

I love that. And you know, big of things that people loved. People loved this unspooled Vertigo poster that was designed by Kim Tracks, all who does all of our amazing drawings.

We actually made one for the winner of the unspooled trivia contest. That was a part of the Facebook group on Discord that Amy and I hosted really more Amy than I.

And we may actually try to release those because people really love those the way that that poster looks. So stay tuned for that.

And just a reminder that in our tshirts door at tpubbook.com you can still get one of our very cool shirts where 100% of the proceeds goes to support independent movie theaters.

You know, it's so important to support these places so that when we are back to normal, we can go there and enjoy some great films.

And also Amy, I want to say that I've been doing a show on YouTube right now. It's called Marvel presents the world's greatest book club. And I know you don't love the Marvel world, but this is not the movie world.

This is the comic book world. And I'm sitting down and talking to some amazing people about their favorite comic book.

So if you've never read a comic book before, this might be a great place for you to start talking to people like Damon Lindelof, Phil Lord W. Kamal Bell, Gillian Jacobs.

And they're all telling me like what was their first kind of Marvel book they fell in love with and you can kind of find them.
