3. What movie is this?
It was released in 1993 and immediately took a position among the great
movies of any genre. Modestly, the director tried to convince Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski, and Billy Wilder to
direct the pic, but for various reasons they turned him down. He refused to make any “blood money”
for the film. The movie is based on the
novel by Thomas Keneally. The movie was shot on location in Krakow, Poland. The film won numerous awards. It was awarded Oscars for Picture, Director,
Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Art Direction, Editing, and Original
Score. It was the most expensive black and white
film made up to then (topping “The Longest Day”). It had been 33 years since a black and white
movie had won Best Picture (“The Apartment”).
It is #8 on AFIs latest list of greatest American motion pictures. (That was up from #9 from the original
list.) It was #3 on its Epic Films
list. Goth was #13 on its Villains
list. The movie cost $22 million and
made $96 million at home and $225 million abroad.

ReplyDeleteWell done!
DeleteHolden was well on his way down the tubes in The Devil's Brigade. I like the movie, mostly because of the Canadian/American competition early in the movie. But Holden was "phoning it in".
DeleteAgree about Holden. I found the competition to be too low brow.
