I don't think I would give Hunchback the win over Wizard of Oz. But it would be a close call.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-74969975888520943112014-12-02T11:47:44.566-06:002014-12-02T11:47:44.566-06:00As it happens, Of Mice and Men is the only film I ...As it happens, <i>Of Mice and Men</i> is the only film I have left in 1939 in all of the categories I'm looking at. I'm hoping to get that film done this month. When I do, I plan on doing a full month of 1939 Oscar posts.

I saw Love Affair just a few weeks ago so I've seen all ten of the nominees. (There aren't that many years outside of the 1990s where I've seen all the nominees.) <br /><br />All you have left is Of Mice and Men! And that's a great movie! It would have been a serious contender in any other year but it got lost in the shuffle in 1939. Which shows what a great year 1939 was.<br /><br />Anyway, I love your Oscar round-ups, and I'm eager to see what you have to say for the films from a long-ago time like 1939. I'd go for The Wizard of Oz as my favorite picture of 1939, with Stagecoach a close second. But I have no problem with GWTW taking home the big prize.

That said, she rose dramatically in my estimation in the last 15 minutes of the film, where she is pitch-perfect.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-4399371513974939692014-08-04T09:59:45.231-05:002014-08-04T09:59:45.231-05:00I like this a lot, mostly because of Irene Dunne&#...I like this a lot, mostly because of Irene Dunne's light-hearted performance. I choose to think that Terry had a goofy idea that Michel shouldn't be saddled with an invalid. Agree completely that public domain copies have really hurt this film. I haven't seen An Affair to Remember in years and years so can't compare.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.com
