Oscar Revisionism: 1962

Posted on 8:54 AM by Unknown
Okay, so this series is limping passed the halfway mark, so bare with.  Last time we checked in, it was 1963.  In 1962, David Lean's epic Lawrence of Arabia swept the Oscars.  In its wake was high seas adventure Mutiny on the Bounty, race-relations classic To Kill a Mockingbird, musical The Music Man, and war drama The Longest Day.  Already filled with variety, how much more would a Field of Ten have added?
