20 years of Oscar ceremonies under our belt! What a treat!

Gentleman's Agreement was somehow based on the 1947 novel of the same name. Wild how they got that done so quickly, but I am no film expert. Critics praised the film for its ability to amplify the original message of the novel to powerful new heights.

The film was alright, just a bit predictable. The entire film can be understood from the synopsis. It is still a moving story, and Gregory Peck delivered a great performance.

Great Expectations garnered strong praises and is considered one of Britain's best films. The Film Daily highlighted aspects of the film that I actually disliked. The plot was a series of "stories within stories", but none of them significantly drew my attention after the first half hour. Even the minor characters came and went so fast that I was not invested in any of them. Maybe I'm just a Dickens hater? Eh.

Gentleman's Agreement took home both Oscars and Golden Globes for Best Picture, Direction, and Acting for Celeste Holm. Dean Stockwell was also awarded a special Golden Globe for juvenile acting.

Great Expectations holds a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics, with lower ratings from the general audience on RT and IMDb. Ratings for Gentleman's Agreement are lower in all areas.

These two films were less awarded than most. Great Expectations is listed as #5 in the British Film Institute's Top 100 list, published two years after the original AFI list. Technically this year was also eligible for the first BAFTAs in 1949, but Great Expectations lost Best British Picture to 1947's Old Man Out.

Unofficial Review: They're both just kinda ok. I'm not upset but I'm not happy.

Flashback to my freshman year of college, when I (pretty much literally) called my future husband "just some guy," and the guy I locked eyes with across a crowded room like some kind of period drama turned out to be a total creep...
