The Moonlight Awards, Episode 11: 1939
from The Moonlight Awards · host Aaron Keck
Here's the one we've been waiting for! The year 1939 is widely recognized as one of the greatest in film history and we're still watching, loving, and wrestling with these works of art today - but when all is said and done, which one film from 1939 has best stood the test of time? Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as we discuss the year in cinema, great movie musicals, the politics of Westerns, the "Lost Cause" myth, and the perils of screening an anti-elite film for a room full of elites - or a country full of them! - and then we'll (somehow) try to identify the one best picture of 1939. This year's nominees are Gone With The Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Rules of the Game, Stagecoach, and The Wizard of Oz. Who wins the Moonlight?
