What was the best motion picture story of 1953?

What were the best screenplays of 1954?

Yes, it's very difficult. The only placements I was sure about were 1 and 2, as The Suitcase and Shut the Door, Have a Seat are complete masterpieces of television. But, beyond that, there are so many wonderful, exciting episodes of television in this show.

What were the best motion picture stories of 1954?

Yes, definitely. Sorry about that.

Oh sorry Big Magilla. I forgot that Motion Picture Story started this year. I will get it right for 1955.
