Another consolidation post: This time Oscar winners seen not via Netflix.
1) My Fair Lady - Rex Harrison, Audrey Hepburn - Said before but nice to see source material for so many other movies and TV. And the great Family Guy parody. It is kind of funny how Rex Harrison doesn't really sing so much as speak while there is music playing. Be warned - I was surprised at how long this movie is. But it is worth the investment. As I said with An American in Paris - I wish people spontaneously broke into song more often.
2) Born Yesterday - Judy Holliday, William Holden - A pretty lightweight film, but Judy Holliday does create a memorable character. William Holden is as good as he always is.
3) The Goodbye Girl - Richard Dreyfuss, Marsha Mason - Neil Simon play turned movie. Pretty darn good. Best Actor for Richard Dreyfuss who I think deserves it. He has to play a variety of roles in the movie: struggling actor, guy forced into an odd living situation, an actor trapped in a bad play, a guy falling in love, a guy trying to get someone to fall for him, and others. And he does them all authentically and convincingly.
