On this episode, we're joined by filmmaker Bill Teck to discuss some of his favorite moments of bittersweet love in the movies. Having made One Day Since Yesterday, a documentary about Peter Bogdanovich's unsung sleeper They All Laughed, Teck knows something about cinema's most achingly romantic, heart-wrenchingly complicated relationships and crafted a list of some of the most unforgettable. We follow Teck through his picks, which include fairy tale connections and acrimonious separations set in New York, Los Angeles and an idyllic Greek Island, in the worlds of art, business and sports - even the dangerous and freewheeling streets of scenic New Jersey!

Whether it's new love, love in pieces, or love in retrospect, the 24 films covered in this episode are a testament to how susceptible we are to the pitfalls and upturns of love on the big screen.
