Shaw's Eco-Logic

Many of you know that I like few things better than deflating overblown and inaccurate conventional wisdom.

Within the world of motion pictures there exist a small number of films that have a completely undeserved great reputation. In every case that I have investigated, this is because the film is said to illustrate some liberal political premise.

Make Way For Tomorrow has inspired nothing other than stellar reviews, despite its massive flaws.

By the way, Roger Ebert's review of this film is, not surprisingly, positive. However, as frequently occurs with Ebert's reviews, he gets major plot details wrong. I have no idea why he is never called on this, since he is—after all—being paid to write these reviews.

Wow! Deflating two sacred cows in one article. Read my complete review.
