“And the Winner Was…” is a podcast hosted by Joel Winstead of Winstead’s Reviews about one film critic’s journey to watch and discuss every Best Picture winner from 1927’s Wings to the present. To help him, he’s assembled a motley crew of fellow film critics to praise, pan, and disect each winner over the years.
This week’s episode: The Bridge on the River Kwai — Best Picture winner (or “Best Motion Picture,” as it was called back then) at the 30th Academy Awards for 1957, held on March 26, 1958, at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, California.
