Here we go - moving in to the final week of the month and starting off a week of Best Picture nominees and winners. Should make for an interesting week of contrasts between winners and should have been winners. Today is really going to put my bias for the 1930s on glorious display.
Recommended:
42nd Street (1933) - One of the best of the early Warners musicals. Not as over the top as some of the other Busby Berkeley films, but still sensational.
Wuthering Heights (1939) - Could have been the cream of the crop in '39, though I am not quite as fond of it as others are.
Gone With the Wind (1939) - A superb film, though, I have to admit, it was not until I saw it on the big screen that I fully appreciated it. It is a BIG film and I can't watch it on TV anymore.
It Happened One Night (1934) - Outstanding. I like Gable better in other films, but he works so well in this one with Colbert.
Highly Recommended:
Any and all of the above - if you only get to see one, though, make it It Happened One Night. Unless you have a cinema size screen, then screen Gone With the Wind.
