One theory is Hollywood felt snake-bitten by the flopping of "Romeo and Juliet" and was hesitant to release it. <br /><br />By the way, it is hard to justify Frederic March ("The Best Years of Our Lives") beating Olivier (and Jimmy Stewart for "It's a Wonderful Life").the war movie buffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-79718493620323942962013-10-28T10:06:22.957-05:002013-10-28T10:06:22.957-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261339408253319279noreply@blogger.com
