Who won? Personally, I pick KING KONG. Second choice: THE INVISIBLE MAN. Love the posters.
Who won?
In real life, it was a movie called Cavalcade, an episodic history of the British Empire from 1901 to 1933. To say it hasn't aged well is putting mildly.
I'll post my choice soon, hopefully by the end of the week ...

But the bits that will come between now and then will be worth it. . . .

The Hundred Years War got started the same way.
Come to think of it, the Hundred Years War lasted 116 years -- that couldn't bring that in on schedule either ...
Whoa, Barbara better not shift too far.
I'll take 'Invisible Man.'
I'll second "The Invisible Man." I think all of these are good choices, except my seemingly blasphemous opinion that "King Kong" is a terribly overrated movie. (I've already been pelted with rotten tomatoes multiple times for this opinion, so need for anyone to do so again. I still don't like it.)
The Invisible Man is a surprisingly good movie, right up there with other 1930s horror movies like Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Old Dark House.
My second choice would probably be I Am a Fugitive.
Can't wait to see what you pick and what you have to say about it.
Can't we have a poll to decide this?
My vote is Kong, though with Fugitive and Invisible Man close behind.
I would have gone with The Mummy, The Story of Temple Drake or Island of Lost Souls long before I would have gone with Bitter Tea.
And Inside Oscar lists Red Dust as having been eligible for 1931-32.
But, poll! Poll! Lets the voters decide!
Of course, I live in Massachusetts, so I'm okay with my voters deciding.
And Inside Oscar lists Red Dust as having been eligible for 1931-32.
Say, you're right, it does. That's interesting because imdb.com lists it as having premiered in October 1932, which is why I went with it in 1932-33. I wonder how the 1931-32 Katie winner, Norma Shearer, would have fared against Jean Harlow in a cage match -- probably would have wound up the same, with Shearer winning in 31-32 and Harlow winning in 32-33 (for comedy) anyway.
Oh, and I added a poll, although since I'm 700 words or so into the essay about the winner, it may wind up being a non-binding poll ...
For me both The Invisible Man and King Kong are great movies. If I have to pick one I would choose The Invisible Man.
