You likely didn’t watch the Academy Awards the year you were born. But it’s nice to know history.
Tightly made on a shoestring budget, 1955′s “Marty” is about a jaded male butcher and equally jaded female teacher who give love one last chance. Along with Billy Wilder’s “The Lost Weekend,” this film remains one of just two movies to win both the Palme d’Or prize at Cannes and Best Picture at the Oscars.- IMDb user rating: 6.
By the time shooting was complete, the cast and crew had traveled no less than 4 million miles, having worked with just under 70,000 extras in 13 different countries.Directed by David Lean, “The Bridge on the River Kwai” is about British prisoners of war forced to build a bridge, which nearby allies plan to blow up. The film is a testosterone-charged affair, featuring brilliant performances from actors like Alec Guinness and William Holden.
