Here, she's excruciating. Her only gear is full throttle and after a while all I was hoping for was a head-on collision. She isn't even enjoyably campy if that's what one likes (I don't), she's just abrasive and, as you said, LOUD. <br /><br />It's interesting that in her private life she was reportedly a cultured, literate and sophisticated person whose interests went far beyond the film world. None of that reads in her work, though, which is unfortunate. It seems that she was far more complex and interesting than what she conveyed onscreen.
