It’s time to kick off our May miniseries – the This Had Oscar Buzz: 70s Spectacular! For 1970, television writer Chris Schleicher joins us for a forgotten tale of wealth, deception, and Bavarian castles. The directorial debut of stage legend Hal Prince (and with a screenplay by his frequent collaborator Hugh Wheeler, from the novel The Cook by Harry Kressing), Something for Everyone<\/em> starred a pre-Cabaret<\/em> Michael York as a young man who weasel’s his way into the good graces of a wealthy family in order to claim their family castle. As the family matriarch, Angela Lansbury earned a Golden Globe nomination that didn’t translate to Oscar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about the 1970 Oscar year dominated by controversy surrounding George C. Scott’s rejection of Oscar pomp and circumstance and this film’s very obvious similarities to Saltburn<\/em>. We also talk about Lansbury’s Oscar and Tony run preceding the film, Michael York as canonical cinematic bisexual, and Prince’s directorial failure adapting A Little Night Music<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include “It Goes Like It Goes,” the supporting actresses of\u00a0Five Easy Pieces<\/em>, and our disdain for\u00a0Love Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
