Transcript

In this episode, Mike and Steven discuss the 1947 Oscars, where William Wyler and his stunning post-war story The Best Years of Our Lives rightfully took home a bunch of awards. They also get into the plethora of deserving films that lost to it in various categories—things like The Razor’s Edge, The Yearling, and the beloved It’s a Wonderful Life—along with one questionable nominee, Duel in the Sun. All this and a whole lot more!
