We're nearing the end of the 1950s, and it's an exciting period for the movies. The French New Wave is stirring, Eastern European artists are emerging, and Alfred Hitchcock, already far and away our most acclaimed director, is about to have an incredible run that (arguably) tops everything that's come before. But which one film has best stood the test of time?
Join Rachel Schaevitz and Aaron Keck as they discuss the year in cinema, cool titles, misleading titles, Miles Davis, Bernard Hermann, Godard's leading men, modern technology, 50s-era psychology, and Mexican accents (or the lack thereof) - and then we dig into the data and the numbers (and our expert panel votes) to identify the best picture of 1958.
The nominees are Ashes & Diamonds, Elevator to the Gallows, Mon Oncle, Touch of Evil, and Vertigo. Who wins the Moonlight?
