Episode 119: The Invaders (or 49th Parallel)

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

Originally released in the UK in 1941 as 49th Parallel, this week’s movie and 1942’s first nominee was released in the US as The Invaders. Starring Laurence Olivier in possibly his most embarrassing role, and Leslie Howard as… well, Leslie Howard, it’s a disjointed bit of pro-war propaganda that’s so all over the place our hosts had to come up with a new way to rate it.
