His Oscar loss had more to do with the character than his own work as the Academy tends (especially then) to reward heroics rather than villainy. In any case, Montgomery took risks that pay off immeasurably. I'll also add that Dame May Whitty went for broke as well and gave the best supporting performance of the year.

That said, I'm certainly looking forward to Here Comes Mr. Jordan now, and I might just go around digging up some of his other movies like Mr. and Mrs. Smith if I have the time!Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964977693763983338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-46702650612596078312014-04-17T13:53:42.563-07:002014-04-17T13:53:42.563-07:00Agree agree agree!

I haven't really liked him elsewhere (not even in The Big House or Here Comes Mr. Jordan), so this is what sticks out in my mind when I think of him.

...He's really great! I like the movie as well. <br /><br />I would strongly urge you to watch it, but you ended up not being very enthused the last time I did that (The Big House) so I guess I'll patiently wait until you get around to it :P Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964977693763983338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014874020674080213.post-72545536977395674282014-04-16T02:02:45.888-07:002014-04-16T02:02:45.888-07:00Haven't seen this either, but I own it.
