31 Days of Oscars: San Francisco

One of the first epic disaster movies in Hollywood? 

With a love story, some music and drama tossed in? Reminds me of another disaster movie that did well at the Oscars some 60 years later... 

Nominations: Best Picture, Best Director (W.S. Van Dyke), Best Actor in a Leading Role (Spencer Tracy), Best Writing – Original Story (Robert Hopkins), Best Assistant Director (Joseph M. Newman), Best Sound Recording (Douglas Shearer)

Won: Best Sound Recording
