Cinema To The Letter: The Greatest Show On Earth (1952) (E for Egregious Won 1 Oscar)
Step right up for The Greatest Podcast On Earth! This week, Cinema To The Letter examines the 1952 Best Picture The Greatest Show on Earth, one of the more infamous winners of the biggest Academy Award about life at the circus as the E for Egregious pick for their Won 1 Oscar season. Together, our duo Thomas and Bryan answer the crucial questions. Why did this inspire a young Steven Spielberg to become a filmmaker? How bad can old school rear screen projection get? Where would we be without the keen insights of Buttons, A Clown? Well, sit back and look at the center ring as you listen to find out!
