A new, available-to-watch Best Picture nominee is on deck for tomorrow, so feel free to look back at previous posts for today. Once I’m able to see the movie, a full write-up will be posted, but because there isn’t a film to review, this is essentially a day off for a new daily post. Dedicated to 'the memory of Florence Nightingale,' this film chronicles the probationary period of a new team of student nurses in a midwestern hospital. I have hopes to attend the 2021 Film Librarians Conference at the Pickford Center (I attended the inaugural conference in 2017) and include time to stop at UCLA to see the film, but with so much in the world still in flux that’s a big wait-and-see situation for the time being.
The only known existing print of The White Parade is housed at the UCLA film archive, and while it is accessible for on-site viewing, with the current COVID-19 pandemic still in full swing it’s unreasonable to make a trip out to Los Angeles just to watch a movie (and that’s assuming the university is allowing on-site research right now). Today’s film is the first of two that are not available for immediate public consumption.
