    E20 - Gentleman's Agreement

    Elia Kazan's 1947 Best Picture winner doesn't have the best hook for a movie, but we both found things to like. We solve prejudice in this episode.

    E18 - The Lost Weekend

    Billy Wilder's THE LOST WEEKEND represented a darker tone for a Best Picture winner than what had traditionally been recognized by the Oscars in the past. Released in 1945, the film chronicles Ray Milland's Don, an alcoholic writer who abandons plans to spend a weekend with his concerned brother and girlfriend in order to embark on a 3-day bender.

    E17 - Going My Way

    We return from the longer-than-planned hiatus with Leo McCarey's unusual franchise starter, GOING MY WAY. The 17th Academy Awards, held in 1945, is actually the first ceremony that is still able to be heard, in its entirety, via audio recording. The link to the Bob Hope-hosted event is in the show notes.  -1945 Academy Awards Radio Broadcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MBiGDFppYw

    E15 - Mrs. Miniver

    War! Though a war film in the traditional sense, Mrs. Miniver captures the cost of World War II on a middle class British Family. This film netted William Wyler his first Best Directing Oscar, and Greer Garson's acceptance speech for Best Actress went on for so long that the Academy instituted limits.
