To me, it’s a tie for my favorite movie. “Gentleman’s Agreement,” the Oscar winner for 1947’s best picture was terrific because it hit religious prejudice right on the head. If we saw what prejudice was as depicted by the film, the entire idea of anti-semitism and other forms of hatred would wither away.
For those who love the tear-jerkers, Jane Wyman’s “The Blue Veil” (1951) was magnificent. What Wyman went through in rearing other people’s children. The film was memorable. Sadly, it’s not available on VHS or DVD and hasn’t been shown in years.
