Tom Salinsky


Episode 11: The Silence of the Lambs (1991)


Released 20 June 2018.


For this episode, we watched The Silence of the Lambs, written by
Ted Tally from the book by Thomas Harris, directed by Jonathan
Demme and starring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Scott Glen and
Ted Devine.


The Silence of the Lambs won the Academy Award “Big Five” but no
other awards, equalling the achievement of Frank Capra’s It
Happened One Night (1934) and Milos Forman’s One Flew Over the
Cuckoo’s Nest (1975).
