She was lovely. I'm not sure how right for the role she was, really, but she was mesmerizing. Rip Torn mumbled his way through--very annoying. Paul Rudd (the 1st Paul Rudd) was charming as the Gentleman Caller. Wasn't hugely impressed by Pamela Payton-Wright.
It would have been interesting to see her play the role some 10 years earlier, with Piper Laurie, George Grizzard as the son, and Pat Hingle as the Gentleman Caller. |
