But I didn't think she was trying to be funny, so I don't think it was a failure. Overall, I thought she was okay, but the win was too much. And I agree with you about that performances make the film better, even though I liked both Sophie's Choice and Monster. Here's how I would rank the films: <br /><br />1. All About Eve <br /><br />2. Sunset Boulevard <br /><br />3. Born Yesterday <br /><br />I haven't seen Caged yet.joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-52993280240951218182010-04-08T18:37:41.503+02:002010-04-08T18:37:41.503+02:00@Louise: For me, the performances are the most imp...@Louise: For me, the performances are the most important aspect of a movie. If I like the performances, it vastly improves the possiblity that I like the movie. I mean, "Sophie's Choice" or "Monster" are rather bad movies but Meryl Streep and Charlize Theron make it worth watching. <br /><br />@Andrew: Yes, I'm happy to! There is a site called "The Judy Holliday ressource center", they have a lot of infos about how Judy had to fight for the part and how badly she was treated by the studio boss in the beginning.Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291268052797806635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-51009493740827178142010-04-08T17:58:53.993+02:002010-04-08T17:58:53.993+02:00Glad you liked it, just recently watched Adam'...Glad you liked it, just recently watched Adam's Rib and I always remembered how Kate and George used her bit role in that to convince the studios to let her do this.

Without her performance, the movie wouldn't be 10% as good. She IS the film. <br />I don't automatically like a performance if I like the film, but I like a film if I like the main performance(s).Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291268052797806635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-77381173626155272902010-04-08T16:23:08.851+02:002010-04-08T16:23:08.851+02:00This one seems to partially determined by how much...This one seems to partially determined by how much someone likes the film.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.com
