I just don't think that the role itself warranted a nomination. Like many Hitchcock films, the focus was more on plot than on characterization. Actually, I liked Claude Rains more in this film, but I think he's always good.Frank/click5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03605293626729520817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-43203714060356645782016-01-24T14:17:27.957-08:002016-01-24T14:17:27.957-08:00A lot of films feel different from when watching t...A lot of films feel different from when watching them as a teen, so I put my opinion of it always in the context. :) But I will never argue against anything Ingrid. :)Alex Constantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940311552608814201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-39687436650607033052016-01-23T13:18:31.551-08:002016-01-23T13:18:31.551-08:00Agreed with Notorious - the first time I watched i...Agreed with Notorious - the first time I watched it I wasn't really sure what the fuss was about regarding her performance...though, upon my recent rewatch, I actually think it's quite great.

I haven't seen Notorious in more than a decade, but I remember not being that impressed by it, though I am aware it has its fan(atic)s. :)Alex Constantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940311552608814201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-68212018564002332922016-01-01T01:52:21.857-08:002016-01-01T01:52:21.857-08:00Your right, I totally forgot about Clift in "...Your right, I totally forgot about Clift in "The Search", which I only got to see this year after years of trying to hunt it down.<br /><br />It wasn't what I expected and I mean that in a good way. That's all I'll say so that you can draw your own conclusions but, at the very least, I think there is something for you to look forward to this year!Frank/click5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03605293626729520817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-26857877669555067242015-12-31T23:53:04.525-08:002015-12-31T23:53:04.525-08:00Agreed on Wyman's consistency, though I guess ...Agreed on Wyman's consistency, though I guess I just have an unhealthy adoration for female characters who are a little more on the wilder side--anything that deviates from the usual mom/girlfriend/saint crap I'm fed so often. <br /><br />You don't even need to remind me about the method coming up click5, because I've been dreaming about getting to method acting since blogging about 1930s films--though with Montgomery Clift coming up in '48, looks like it will be starting up very soon!<br /><br />No need to thank me at all because I enjoy doing it! It actually really makes me happy to know that someone out there likes reading what I have to say. I appreciate you coming back and sharing your thoughts--and happy new year!!Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964977693763983338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-76370135675954297052015-12-31T18:16:55.017-08:002015-12-31T18:16:55.017-08:00This was a pretty weak year for actresses. The on...This was a pretty weak year for actresses. The only switch I'd make on your list is between Wyman and Jones. I rewatched "The Yearling" after your review and, while I do think her part was more of a supporting role, she's true to the character from start to finish and is more consistent than Jones.<br /><br />Of the others you mentioned, Loy's part is even smaller part than March's so I think that nixed her chances, but Bergman and Dunne were Academy favs so I'm surprised one of them didn't get in. Bergman played a "kept woman" as they used to say and the Academy may not have approved of her soiling her image, but Dunne played a feisty yet noble woman. What happened Academy? (Actually, I thought neither she nor her film were all that good.)<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you chose Johnson because she's the real jewel in this group. Good luck with the coming reviews in the New Year and keep in mind that the fifties is when Method Acting hit the screen, so when you finally get there at least your going to encounter some very interesting performances among the usual stuff.<br /><br />And thanks for all the hard work you do for this blog, Allen. It gives a lot of us classic film buffs so much enjoyment and so much to look forward to and reflect upon throughout the year. Happy New Year.Frank/click5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03605293626729520817noreply@blogger.com
