Meet the voice of War Hall.
In this special bonus episode, Professor John Thomas interviews the indomitable Angela Allen – legendary script supervisor and voice of War Hall: A Theatre of the Mind.
Angela reflects on an extraordinary life in cinema, from sheltering in the London Underground during the Second World War to working on The Third Man in post-war Vienna, travelling through the African jungle with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and becoming the trusted right hand of director John Huston.
Along the way, she worked with Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Arthur Miller, Truman Capote, Ava Gardner and many of the twentieth century's greatest creative figures, helping shape some of cinema's most iconic films.
Now in her nineties, Angela looks back on a remarkable career spent breaking barriers in an industry dominated by men—and on the dream she was never able to fulfil - becoming a director.
The voice you hear in War Hall has been shaped by a lifetime spent reading scripts alongside cinema legends. It is a voice of gravitas - and beauty - a voice straight from the golden age of cinema and sound.
