Right After That: 1945, An Intro

Our look at film years wherein Alfred Hitchcock was Oscar-nominated for Best Director continues with 1945. Just last week, we wrapped up 1944, a year in which Hitchcock lost to Leo McCarey for Going My Way, a juggernaut that took home seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. 


Now we witness Hitchcock's return just one year later for Spellbound, a movie produced by Since You Went Away's David O. Selznick and starring Gaslight's Ingrid Bergman. They're not the only familiar faces from 1944, either, as you'll see...

Due to the Academy's qualifying rules - a film has to play in Los Angeles for at least a week in the year it is considered - a significant chunk of these films are from the previous year! So tomorrow, we start looking at the films of 1945 with films from 1944. Understand?
