  1. Love the Karina double nods! For me, this year is all about Pierrot le Fou and it pretty much sweeps. I still have a lot to see though.

    1. I really need to rewatch Pierrot le Fou, but I've been cramming for my year-end music posts this weekend. Pierrot is a close second right now, which is why I at least gave Godard a screenplay win.

  2. Picture:
    Bunny Lake Is Missing
    Dr. Zhivago
    The Flight of the Phoenix-Winner
    Repulsion
    Ship of Fools
    Zhivago is an epic undertaking with some amazing visuals but it drags at times. Bunny Lake is an excellently constructed puzzler, Repulsion an unsettling study of the collapse of a troubled mind and my runner-up Ship of Fools a great microcosm of a disparate group but Phoenix with a similiar idea adds a life and death element making what at first seems a regular adventure flick into something special.

    Director:
    Robert Aldrich-The Flight of the Phoenix
    Stanley Kramer-Ship of Fools
    Roman Polanski-Repulsion-Winner
    Otto Preminger-Bunny Lake Is Missing
    William Wyler-The Collector
    All the directors helmed their films expertly but none came close to the eerie dread Polanski instilled into his. I didn't care for Repulsion as an entertainment but what he and Deneuve did with the material is fascinating and chilling.

    Actor:
    Richard Burton-The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
    Omar Sharif-Dr. Zhivago
    Terence Stamp-The Collector
    James Stewart-The Flight of the Phoenix
    Oskar Werner-Ship of Fools-Winner
    During his brief time at the top Werner gave several fine performances but his sympatheic, melancholy captain piloting the Ship of Fools is perhaps the most layered. Burton, in this most fruitful period of his career, is also terrific in Spy but he was my winner the previous year so I don't mind passing him over in favor of Oskar.

    Actress:
    Julie Christie-Darling
    Bette Davis-The Nanny
    Catherine Deneuve-Repulsion-Winner
    Lee Remick-Baby, The Rain Must Fall
    Simone Signoret-Ship of Fools
    This was a tough field to choose from, a five way tie wouldn't be the worst result, and I hated to take Julie Christie's Oscar away but she'll be my winner at least twice in the future. I was mightly drawn to Lee Remick's deeply felt work in Baby, The Rain Must Fall but Catherine Deneuve is so extraordinary in Repulsion she had to take the prize.

    Supporting Actor:
    Richard Attenborough-The Flight of the Phoenix
    Michael Dunn-Ship of Fools-Winner
    Hardy Kruger-The Flight of the Phoenix
    Walter Matthau-Mirage
    Laurence Olivier-Bunny Lake Is Missing
    I love Cat Ballou and I love Lee Marvin in it but an Oscar for that? No way, it should have gone to Michael Dunn who is sensational in Ship of Fools.

    Supporting Actress:
    Claire Bloom-The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
    Barbara Harris-A Thousand Clowns
    Vivien Leigh-Ship of Fools
    Eleanor Parker-The Sound of Music-Winner
    Maggie Smith-Othello
    Vivien as always is exceptional in Ship but so is the great underappreciated Eleanor Parker as the Baroness. Since this was her last really worthwhile showcase and she does so much with it easy to chose her as my winner.

    After I finished this year I realized it seems like I don't love The Sound of Music which I do, it and most of its cast was crowded out by some other fine films.

    1. I love your winners. Michael Dunn is an interesting choice, and I really need to watch The Flight of the Phoenix. I have The Collector and Baby, the Rain Must Fall on hand, so hopefully I'll get to watch them soon.
