The Oscar (1966, Russell Rouse)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Aug 27, 2016
The Oscar is a spectacular kind of awful. It’s the perfect storm of content, casting and technical ineptitude. Director Rouse probably doesn’t have a single good shot in the entire film. It might not even be possible with Joseph Ruttenberg’s photography and the maybe studio televi read more
