By coincidence I was watching Discovering Edward G Robinson last night and there she was in a clip from A HOLE IN THE HEAD, another one I need to see again.moscarbradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13922195521921559272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851593288215620717.post-3059140147825427882017-02-12T17:06:45.101+00:002017-02-12T17:06:45.101+00:00I LOVE this one!

It's my favorite of all her films and the one she should have won that ever elusive Oscar for. <br /><br />Pick-up on South Street required more from her and is probably her most complex performance but this is such a showpiece for her unique personality. She is fourth billed, perhaps so they could justify her supporting nomination-and top billing was more probably than not in Gene Tierney's contract, but Thelma's the indisputable star of this trim little comedy. It's great that she also gets her own love interest in the attractive and charming Larry Keating-a fine unsung character actor-they have a very nice quippy chemistry together.<br /><br />As much as this is Thelma's picture both Cora Witherspoon and Miriam Hopkins make their marks in their roles...and Gene Tierney is chic and pleasing as always. Lund's a bit of a stick but he gets the job done.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851593288215620717.post-21869777666665945402017-02-11T18:29:16.876+00:002017-02-11T18:29:16.876+00:00Onscreen, she's billed fourth after Gene Tiern...Onscreen, she's billed fourth after Gene Tierney, John Lund, and Miriam Hopkins, even though she's obviously the main character and gets the most screen time. Sad, but that's how they did things in Hollywood back then (and maybe still do.) Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.com
