## Resource

This episode spoils 1939’s nominees Dark Victory, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Love Affair, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Ninotchka, Of Mice and Men, Stagecoach, The Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights, and winner Gone With the Wind. Widely regarded as the strongest year for movies in Academy history, the lingering effects of the nominees and winners can still be felt to this day— for good and for bad. It’s the year of toxic romance, ugly hats, questionable medical ethics, and maybe the best teacher we’ve ever seen. Several of these movies were absolutely foundational for their genres, and had they come out in any other year they may have even stood a chance at taking home the grand prize.
