Ep. 410: Caroline Golum on The Nitrate Picture Show 2026: Midnight, The Little Match Girl, When Tomorrow Comes, Bellissima, and much more Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The Nitrate Picture Show at the George Eastman House has become an annual pilgrimage for film lovers, who come to see an array of titles from Hollywood and beyond, shown on prints, each with its own history. This year I chatted with Caroline Golum, director of Revelations of Divine Love, co-programmer of Pre-Code Parade at Nitehawk Cinema, and contributing editor at Screen Slate, where she filed a report on this year’s edition of the Nitrate Picture Show. Among the films I was lucky to hear about were Midnight (Mitchell Leisen, 1939), The Little Match Girl (Jean Renoir, 1928), When Tomorrow Comes (John M. Stahl, 1939), Why Change Your Wife? (Cecil B. DeMille, 1920), This Happy Breed (David Lean, 1944), Bellissima (Visconti, 1951), Unter den Brücken... (Helmut Käutner, 1945), Camille (George Cukor, 1936), and Orpheus (Jean Cocteau, 1950).
