1932 Alternate Oscars

What do you need to know about 1932?

(1) Ernst Lubitsch made movies that seemed to float in magnums of cold champagne and the floatiest of them all was Trouble in Paradise.

(2) Paul Muni made not one but two classic crime pictures (Scarface and I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang).

(3) Joan Crawford turned in the best performance of her career in a movie not named Mildred Pierce.

Probably some other stuff, but I'll leave that for you to discover ...
