The Moonlight Awards, Episode 8: 1936
from The Moonlight Awards · host Aaron Keck
It's 1936 and the movie industry is in transition. Directors like Alfred Hitchcock are leading a rise in suspense and noir, while the song-and-dance extravaganzas of the early '30s are on their way out. But the olden days aren't dead yet - and this year, the big winner might well be a silent film, albeit one with a few things to say about these "modern times." Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as we discuss the year in cinema, Charlie Chaplin's genius, Astaire and Rogers' chemistry, Hitchcock's early work, Fritz Lang's move to America, and "Capra corn" - and then we'll award the best picture of 1936 and announce the nominees for 1937. This year's nominees are Fury, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, Modern Times, Sabotage, and Swing Time. Who wins the Moonlight?
