In 1980, legendary actor Robert Redford made his directorial debut with a film that moved so many and gave us great dramatic performances from Donald Sutherland, newcomer Timothy Hutton, and even comedy sitcom star Mary Tyler Moore. The film is of course the moving Ordinary People. It took home four Oscars, including Best Picture. However, after more than 4 decades does it still resonate with us, and in retrospect is it still deserving as the best of 1980? Download and listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on Ordinary People.
As a bonus, Jack also shares his choices for who will win all the prizes at the 96th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, March 10th.
