1967 – Guess Who’s Graduating to Rob Banks!

In this episode of …And the Oscar Shoulda Gone To, Dylan, Rob and Glenys the movies of 1967 that were nominated for Best Picture at the 40th Academy Awards. While In the Heat of the Night was considered groundbreaking for the time, did the Academy’s pick for best picture hold up over time? Equally groundbreaking in different ways, could Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner or The Graduate have been better choices? Or did the naturalistic acting and thrilling pace of Bonnie and Clyde deserve to be rewarded?
