I have seen this film before and enjoy it. I have seen a lot of films based upon Mark Twain regardless of the era. I just did not include anyone in my lists. I have pared down my list of films of 1939 seen recently enough films to 46. I've seen more than that, but this is more manageable in what for me, despite 1940s being my favourite decade, is my favourite movie year of all.

According to a book I have called Behind The Oscar: The Secret History of the Academy Awards by Anthony Holden, Robert Donat won Bet Actor in 1939 by a handful of votes. Considering he did not live very long, I'm thrilled he did. The author's take on Holiday is that similar to what happened to the 1952 Best Picture category, Bette Davis and Anne Baxter split the votes so that the third place actress won. He does not say how many votes was the difference.

Now there is a name that would have been changed in the studio system era..... Jennifer Jones
