The 1960's were tumultuous not only in our country's political and social history but in our cultural and entertainment history as well. Larry talks with entertainment journalist Mark Harris whose new book, Picture at a Revolution, takes an in-depth look at the films and filmmakers that transformed American cinema in the late 60's. In it Harris tracks the five Best Picture nominees at the 1968 Academy Awards: The Graduate; Bonnie and Clyde; In the Heat of the Night; Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? and Dr. Doolittle from concept to Oscar night.
Plus: Larry and critics Lael Loewenstein of Variety, Henry Sheehan of henrysheehan.com, and Charles Solomon of amazon.com review some of the week's new feature films including Definitely Maybe, Jumpers, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Diary of the Dead, and The Killing of John Lennon as well as the 2007 Academy Award Nominated Short Films.
