These We Have Applauded
NDER, "The Listener’s" filmgrading system, these were the films for which our little man stood up to clap (our highest award), during 1941. There were nine of them: "They Knew What They Wanted" (Charles Laughton). "Gone With the Wind." "The Lady Eve" (Directed by Preston Sturges). "Christmas in July" (Ditto). "Major Barbara." "So Great a Man" (Raymond Massey). "The Flame of New Orleans" (Marlene Dietrich). "The Reluctant Dragon." "Hold Back the Dawn" (Charles Boyer). ~ There were 44 to which the little man gave a sitting down hand-clap, including "Angels Over Broadway," "Pride and Prejudice," "Return of Frank James," "Escape," "NorthWest Mounted Police," "The Great Dictator," "Thief of Bagdad," "So Ends Our Night,’ "Philadelphia Story," "This Thing Called Love,’ "Freedom Radio," "Road to Zanzibar,’ "Sante Fé Trail,’ "The Devil and Miss Jones," "A Woman's’ Face," "Long Voyage Home." Best film of the year by an.easy margin, in my opinion, was "Major Barbara," followed by "Gone With the Wind."
