Screen Test of Time, Ep. 102: All This, And Heaven Too

Screen Test of Time is a podcast where Suzan Eraslan and David Daw set out to watch every movie ever nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, in order, from the first awards season to, eventually, the present day. Each week, they watch and review a different movie, and when they've watched everything nominated in a particular year, they tell you whether the Oscar went to the right one!

After multiple days of trying to record, our hosts finally get to sit down and talk about yet another Bette Davis film that leaves them baffled at her superstardom (though with a brief interruption by Suzan’s cats). Charles Boyer co-stars as Davis’s employer and… sort of? love interest, in a film that could have been captivating but had to bend so much to the Hays Code as to be an overlong, toothless melodrama.
