Oscar nominated film is among the lost., 31 July 2001
Author: Arne Andersen (aandersen@landmarkcollege.org) from Putney, VT

This film earned an Oscar nomination for Sound Recording. It is the only film nominated in this category that is among the lost. No negative or print material is known to have survived. Contemporary reviews were scathing, describing the film as a vastly overlong and boring talk-fest.
