It's one of only three films in history to sweep all five major Academy Awards. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of how a passion project decades in the making finally reached the screen.In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Miloš Forman, the cast, and the second act — including Jack Nicholson's career-defining McMurphy, Louise Fletcher's chilling Nurse Ratched, and the real psychiatric hospital where it was filmed.The showdown with Ratched is still ahead of us. Part 2 takes it on: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Available now.
