Rewatching Oscar with Jack Ferdman
In this episode, Jack goes in-depth about a very serious and sensitive topic... addiction, and more specifically alcoholism. He delves deep into how important the film The Lost Weekend is (the Best Picture winner of 1945) and how Billy Wilder's style of filmmaking handles this issue that plagued so many Americans after WWII. It's an important film in cinema history as it was the first feature to treat this topic directly. Was the great story, handled so brilliantly by Wilder, the incredible editing and score, and of course the Oscar-winning performance of Ray Milland, enough to have Jack give it the Rewatch Oscar of 1945? It was a weak year for Hollywood movies ... but there were several brilliant films that he might give the award to. Listen and find out.
