Is this something you'll be doing with your rankings moving forward?<br /><br />That said, I don't think you should defend your ranking of Pickford whatsoever. I actually do agree with you--your point that folks like Wynyard don't inspire you to watch by any means is completely valid and I may have to reconsider her work. And while Pickford is theoretically 'bad,' she certainly isn't AS abhorrent as many would position her to be (I believe that the title for worst-ever in Best Actress belongs to Ruth Chatterton in Sarah and Son--it's not as though enough people are watching that one to know how bad she may be, and I think that Pickford winning certainly provides it more exposure and allows this reputation as "worst-ever" to thrive). With a little more subtlety this one might not have turned out that bad, but obviously that is not the case with many performances from this specific era.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964977693763983338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-18585089403393590892016-01-14T01:49:02.650+01:002016-01-14T01:49:02.650+01:00You made a pretty good argument for her, Fritz.

I also can see good things about her or Jennifer Jones in Duel in the sun, but they never worked as a whole for me.GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058868751501120504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-13527254819217382702016-01-13T17:58:46.038+01:002016-01-13T17:58:46.038+01:00Well, I disagree but I'm glad you don't mi...Well, I disagree but I'm glad you don't mind her. I personally think she's embarrassingly awful in the role and I prefer Dunne's (who was decent in a nothing role), McLaine's (who was quite good) and Wynyward's (just barely though as she too is dreadful) performances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
