Episode 77: 1967 with Mark Harris
A podcast about the great movie years.
Mark Harris has written three of the essential film books of our time, and one of them — Pictures at a Revolution — tells the story of Hollywood in flux by detailing the making of the five nominees for best picture of 1967. So he joins us to talk about that year, from the groundbreaking The Graduate to the nose-thumbing of Bonnie & Clyde to the sheer craft of In the Heat of the Night.

The Graduate is streaming on Amazon Prime, the Criterion Channel, Tubi, and is available for digital rental or purchase. Bonnie and Clyde is available for digital rental or purchase. (Also, here’s Pauline Kael’s famous rave about it, as well as a piece Jason wrote a few years ago about that review.)
