HIATUS ENCORE: Edna Ferber — So Big with Dr. Caroline Frick

New full-length episodes beginning Jan. 30. Edna Ferber’s So Big was the top-selling novel of 1924 and it won a Pulitzer Prize, yet it’s little known now! Wildly popular in its day, So Big was adapted for film three times, the second of which (in 1932) starred Barbara Stanwyck and featured a young Bette Davis in one of her earliest roles. Join us for a discussion of the book and the 1932 film with Dr. Caroline Frick from the Department of Radio-Television-Film at University of Texas, Austin.  Discussed in this episode:  So Big by Edna Ferber Saving Cinema: The Politics of Preservation by Caroline Frick  Texas Archive of the Moving Image L.A.
