Leonard Maltin Presents
Only Yesterday (Presented by Leonard Maltin)
Leonard Maltin presents Rare Treats from the Vaults of Universal Pictures! Esteemed critic, film historian, and author Leonard Maltin will join us in person, schedule permitting, to discuss!
From Leonard: Margaret Sullavan’s screen debut is a quintessential soap opera strong soap-opera vehicle directed by John M. Stahl (who made BACK STREET and other soaps later remade by Douglas Sirk). Keep a box of tissues handy, as John Boles deserts Sullavan after impregnating her—then doesn’t remember who she is when they meet again years later. A top-notch supporting cast includes Billie Burke, best remembered as Glinda the Good Witch in THE WIZARD OF OZ.
