1968 Best Picture
Premiered December 10, 1968
Budget $10 Million
Gross $16.8 Million
This was the first Oscar winning movie with an MPAA rating. It was rated "G" but would probably have a PG or even PG-13 rating today because of violence. It shows how times have changed on both ends of the decency spectrum.
We had an interesting experience with this movie. It was a double sided DVD but we didn't realize that. We watched the last half and were scratching our heads when the film was over after an hour. We finally figured it out and watched the first half second.
The story is good, the acting is ok and the music was decent. This movie did not do much to advance the art of film. It was just another musical in an era overflowing with musicals.
Joel
Favorite: I liked the song "Boy For Sale". The subject matter was very haunting, the tune was beautiful and Harry Seacombe has a great voice.
Least Favorite: I did not like the actress who played Nancy. She was not a good actor and her singing voice was not very good.
Callie
Favorite: I liked the story. It would be great to see on the stage.
Least Favorite: I did not like the ending.
