Susan Peters - Random Harvest<br />4. Teresa Wright - Mrs. Miniver<br />5. Dame May Whitty - Mrs. Miniver<br /><br /><br />Moorehead was the only logical choice for this year as well.

Outside of Vivien Leigh in <I>Streetcar</I> and Faye Dunaway in <I>Mommie Dearest</I>, I can't think of another actress who pushed herself so deep, emotionally speaking, to bring a character to life- it's truly an unforgettable performance (and the breakdown in the kitchen as Fanny leans against the boiler and goes from Vertigo's Psychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701774152300870403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-1148876170398666052006-05-29T00:16:00.000-04:002006-05-29T00:16:00.000-04:00Oh, and just to be clear: Wright may well have got...Oh, and just to be clear: Wright may well have gotten an Oscar boost for having also been in <I>The Pride of the Yankees</I> (and therefore having had a very good year in extremely lucrative movies), but I think the <I>Yankees</I> nod surely rode the coattails of the <I>Miniver</I> performance, rather than the other way around.

Whatever, caution to the wind: as others have said, not only were the performances good, but all of the movies impressed me. When <I>Mrs. Miniver</I> is the least accomplished in any set of four films, you're in very good company. I was worried that <I>Now, Voyager</I> would feel soggier than I remembered it, but it's so craftilyNicksFlickPickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-1148841277485733832006-05-28T14:34:00.000-04:002006-05-28T14:34:00.000-04:00This was a blast!

I must say I liked <I>Random Harvest</I>, even a bit more than <I>Mrs Miniver</I>, and I was surprised by how good Ronald Colman was in it. Very interesting dissent on Moorehead, Stinky!
