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.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-44677821089138138702010-11-16T18:24:56.073-05:002010-11-16T18:24:56.073-05:00Can't we have a poll to decide this?
My vote ...Can't we have a poll to decide this?<br /><br />My vote is Kong, though with Fugitive and Invisible Man close behind.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />And Inside Oscar lists Red Dust as having been eligible for 1931-32.<br /><br />But, poll!

I ...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.)<br /><br />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.<br /><br />My second choice would probably be I Am a Fugitive.<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you pick and what you have to say about it.Jason Marshallhttp://moviesovermatter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-45816808836751559162010-11-15T17:06:01.656-05:002010-11-15T17:06:01.656-05:00Whoa, Barbara better not shift too far.
