Rewatching Oscar

The Great Ziegfeld (1936)

Jack Ferdman Season 4 Episode 59

There are a lot of Best Picture winners that are big, bold, and epic in size. Well, in 1936, MGM made something pretty big ... and long.  A film that brought people to the theatre to enjoy the spectacle of Broadway, especially if they weren't able to see a show live ad in person.  The Great Ziegfeld, at the time, was the longest talking film ever made! It was a box-office success!  Looking back all these years ... despite its success, should it have also won the Best Picture of 1936 at the Academy Awards? 

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Great Ziegfeld as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1936 to.
