The second day of the festival kicks off with a little-seen classic from 1932 Directed by Dorothy Arzner-MERRILY WE GO TO HELL. TCM Host Alicia Malone will join us to introduce the movie in person. 

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Fredric March is a typical ‘30s era cad, with a penchant for alcohol and a wandering eye. He meets and marries a trusting heiress, smartly played by Sylvia Sidney. Disillusioned with their married life, the couple agree to explore an open marriage, with amusing results. Witty, melodramatic, and fiercely feminist, this racy pre-Code era picture was ahead of its time and could only come from the mind of Dorothy Arzner, the singular female director working in 1930’s Hollywood.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿: Alicia Malone is a host on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and the host of TCM Imports, showcasing cinematic treasures from around the world each Sunday. Malone is an authority on classic, independent, and foreign films, and is passionate about supporting women in film. As an author, Malone has written four books. Her first three, Backwards and in Heels, The Female Gaze and Girls on Film: Lessons From a Life of Watching Women in Movies explored the accomplishments and obstacles women have faced throughout cinema’s history. Her most recent book, TCM Imports: Timeless Favorites and Hidden Gems of World Cinema take readers for a cinematic trip around the globe. Malone recently created the TCM gift set, Film Fashion Icons, and serves as the host of the Emmy Award-winning Reel Destinations for Focus Features. In 2019, Malone was named one of LA Weekly’s People of the Year, and she has given two TEDx talks on the history of women in cinema. She is also on the board of directors of the Strand Theatre, a historic movie house in Rockland, Maine.

Previously, Malone was the host of FilmStruck, TCM’s streaming service for movie lovers, hosted several episodes of Criterion’s Adventures in Moviegoing series, and was the host and creator of Fandango’s series Indie Movie Guide.

Malone began her television career twenty-five years ago in her native Australia, working behind the scenes as a writer, producer, and editor for movie-centric television shows. Her expertise in film saw her transition to host, interviewer, and film critic for television, radio, print, and online. In 2011, Malone moved to Los Angeles, and since then has appeared as a film expert on a variety of television channels and programs, including CNN’s ‘The Movies’ documentary series, MSNBC, Today, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight and ABC’s 2019 ‘Live from the Red Carpet’ Oscar pre-show. In high school, Malone was voted “Most Likely to See Her Name Up in Lights.” She campaigned hard for that title because she thought it would look good in her future biography.
