1952 was either one of the worst years in movie history, or I’ve been unusually hard to satisfy lately. Or perhaps it’s that it offered little new, and this marathon is above all about newness. I’ll watch anything as long as it’s interesting, and what makes it interesting is that I don’t quite know where to place it. Almost everything from 1952 fits neatly into existing categories, adding nothing of their own, and what’s left is this meagre picking:
The Importance of Being Earnest
Next up: 1953, with 370+ movies lying ready to face the fast-forward button. (Wait, 370?! Yes. And rising steadily, year by year.)
