167. John Pownal’s fatal final scene Part 1

Show Notes

All Jon Pownall wanted was to make his own movies after two decades of filming marketing spots and commercials. It looked like it was all coming together, too, as production began on his film “The Salem Six.” It all ended, though, on August 30, 1973, when he was found shot to death in the Portland, Maine, office of his film company. Rebecca presents.

Also, Maureen gives the NNW treatment to Peacock documentary “Banished: Prince Andrew”
