Film buffs, critics, cinemaniacs and movie aficionados have declared 1939 as the greatest year for movies so many times that it's seen as historical fact, rather than just a widely accepted opinion. And no wonder: in 1939, the ten movies nominated for Best Picture include landmark classics in so many genres that it makes your head spin; Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Stagecoach, Ninotchka, Love Affair, The Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights, Of Mice and Men, Dark Victory, Goodbye Mr. Chips, and a little flick called Gone With The Wind. This special examines that golden era, and it's rich in clips.
