| I believe Suskin rather mischaracterizes Angela Lansbury as "a London-born B-list contract player at MGM." London-born she was, but "B-list contract player at MGM" implies either that she made B movies, that she wasn't very good in them, that she was obscure, or all three of those things. None of the three is true. She was a star of stage and screen by 1964. (Moreover, it has never seemed to my ear that there is anything very wrong with anybody's singing on the OBC of Anyone Can Whistle.) |
