The Moonlight Awards: 1944
from The Moonlight Awards Hosted by Aaron Keck
We were in the midst of a world war, but there was still a lot of great film being produced - film noir, mostly, but 1944 also saw some classic musicals, another Sergei Eisenstein masterpiece, and a thriller that gave us new insights (and a new term) in human psychology. But which one film has best stood the test of time? Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as they discuss the year in cinema, great villains, famed scores, the scholarly canon, young Vincent Price, young Angela Lansbury, why musicals endure, Billy Wilder's envy, and Barbara Stanwyck's wig - and then we'll look at the numbers (including our expert panel vote) and honor the best picture of 1944. This year's nominees are Double Indemnity, Gaslight, Ivan the Terrible I, Laura, and Meet Me in St. Louis. Who wins the Moonlight?
