"I've asked this before but..................was she really that extraordinary? Streep is good in the film I think (though Tracey Ullman steals it) but I love the final scene talking to the Frenchmen who there will be days and days and days like this. Streep expresses such joy and hope. "

Yes, Nelligan was extraordinary in the role, and the moment you cite was perhaps her greatest of all.

Question: Why do you keep asking? Just to get more opinions? Obviously, none of us can prove to you how extraordinary Nelligan was in the role, and unfortunately, I assume there is no film of her performance.

I asked again because I had forgotten what people said. I knew she was great but I always wondered how much Streep was able to do the role in comparison. I just like the topic and like hearing people's memories of theater that I was too young to see.
