Director: Frank Capra
His 39th movie
My 9th movie watched from the director


This was kind of a dull movie for Sinatra. His kid in it was annoying, and actually Sinatra's character is annoying, too. Makes it tough to really enjoy what is actually not a bad story, for the time period.

Director: Fred Zinnemann
His 15th movie
My 8th movie watched from the director


This was apparently a controversial movie, so I was expecting a more controversial story or scenes... then again, I shouldn't have considering it was 1959 in a still-very Christian/Catholic USA. It basically just painted the church and nuns as imperfect and not so squeaky clean. Still, Hepburn pulled off a hell of a performance, one of her best. Director Zinnemann handled the story well and crafted a pretty decent film, considering the rather uninteresting subject matter.

The decade ends with another Hitchcock film at the top, and this one is my favorite of his...
