The Great Ziegfeld (1936)

There are a lot of Best Picture winners that are big, bold, and epic in size. Well, in 1936, MGM made something pretty big ... and long.  A film that brought people to the theatre to enjoy the spectacle of Broadway, especially if they weren't able to see a show live ad in person.  The Great Ziegfeld, at the time, was the longest talking film ever made! It was a box-office success!  Looking back all these years ... despite its success, should it have also won the Best Picture of 1936 at the Academy Awards? Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Great Ziegfeld as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1936 to.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching  Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHear RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, InstagramShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messanger or email us [email protected] by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Send us Fan Mail
