Hud & 1963 Best Picture w/ Fritz

If the Academy was ever a stickler for quantity over quality, 1963 would be their poster child. 
The wonderful Fritz joins for this discussion that covers Martin Ritt's cynical anti-hero western Hud (5:12). We also chat about the category's mammoth-sized films, America America (23:40), Cleopatra (42:50) and How the West Was Won (1:06:40), with the short and sweet Lilies of the Field (1:16:43) a nice break. Then, it's time for Best Picture victor Tom Jones (1:25:26). Listen to that segment for a perspective you don't often hear...
