Gentleman’s Agreement and the 20th Academy Awards

The Best Picture breakdown by Worthy hosts, Ben Smith and Jon Roberts, dives into one of Elia Kazan’s first films “Gentleman’s Agreement”. The film deals with the issues of anti-semitism in America and a journalist who pretends to be Jewish in order to understand the central conflict. Gregory Peck’s performance helped to lead this film to its Best Picture win at the 20th Academy Awards.

This episode also celebrates the milestone of the Academy Awards 20-year existence. Worthy hosts, Ben and Jon, debate the past decade of Best Picture winners and what awards they would give to each one. It is certainly an episode that gives highlights of the Oscars second decade of existence and the way that film has expanded in those years.
