Bucket List Update
Academy Award Nominated Movies
1942
The
Talk of the Town
starring:
Cary Grant and Jean Arthur
plot
– Grant is accused of arson and hides out in a cottage. Arthur
is the owner of the cottage and catches Grant, but
keeps his secret. The new tenant arrives early and Grant
pretends to be the gardener. A good story.
I liked this story, and Grant and Arthur are
wonderful in their roles.
It is predictable, but I liked it anyway.
1943
Madame
Curie
starring:
Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Van Johnson, and Margaret
O’Brien
plot
– The story of the joined lives of two brilliant scientists: Marie
and Pierre Curie, and how they discovered a new element,
radium. The pair earned the 1903 Nobel Prize in
physics.
I learned so much from this movie. Garson
and Pidgeon were outstanding
as the amazing scientists. The movie showed the ways
they struggled to find radium and prove it existed to the scientific
world.
1946
The
Razor’s Edge
starring:
Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney, John Payne, Anne Baxter,
and Clifton Webb.
plot
– This is the story of wealth, greed, jealousy, and a person
who longs to understand where he fits in the world.
This was a great movie! I find this movie to be one that really
makes
you evaluate the choices people make in their lives, and how
they have to deal and live with the consequences of their actions.
1940
Sergeant
York
starring:
Gary Cooper, Joan Leslie, and Walter Brennan
plot
– A Tennessee mountain man named York initially is a conscientious
objector to fighting in WWI, but has to go
anyway. After deep thought, he fights for his country
and is a hero. This is a true story.
I
loved this movie! Cooper is
amazing as this American hero.
I remember my Dad talking about this movie when I was
a kid. He loved a good war movie.
