| "Her idea of funny was to overact and make faces; it worked in broader farces not in pieces that required a sophisticated touch." This was annoying in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" as well. |

| Hmm. Gotta defend Debbie a bit here. She never got her due for "What's the Matter with Helen" I am serious. | |

| I don’t think Reynolds was any good in Mary, Mary but it wasn’t from excessive mugging. She seemed to be singing all her lines. Mary’s defining characteristic is her need to respond to anything with a quip. This requires an expert in dry/sly delivery. This is not Reynold’s forte. Also, the character doesn’t believe ( has never been told) she is pretty. Debbie is nothing if not as pert and pretty as 1960s actresses get! | |
