I don’t know the differences between the stage and film versions of Brodie.
In a nutshell can you compare the performances of Caldwell and Smith?
Saw her in Medea and Master Class. I was lucky enough to see her in the one person play about Lillian Hellman. Caldwell was riveting in an, always interesting but, not so successful play. For those who worried about Elizabeth Ashley’s smoking in Agnes of God: I don’t believe Caldwell had any moments on stage without lit cigarette in hand. And these were in the days, correct me if I’m mistaken, before the stage version of ’healthy’ cigarettes.
Her Medea was neither my first nor last Medea. Frequently an actor will hit you over the head with the horrors. I recall that when we learn about things it was more of a surprise in that I had to think about her more before I realized that the clues were there all along.
She and her late husband were...of the theater. I believe that their kind of couple will not come about again. |
