Bradbury 100 - Celebrating the Life and Work of American Writer Ray Bradbury

Show Notes

Francois Truffaut's film of Fahrenheit 451 is 60 years old - just like Star Trek! In this episode, I turn the spotlight on the film one more time, providing a scene-by-scene commentary.

The episode should make perfect sense on its own, but for the full effect you can cue up your DVD/Blu Ray/streaming version, turn down the TV volume, and listen to me giving you insights into the film, what it all means, and how it was made.

As always, check out the show notes at www.bradburymedia.co.uk
