The panel was much harder on Wendy Hiller, though, than I'd have been. Much of MAN FOR ALL SEASONS was just a shrug for me - but I found watching Hiller rewarding throughout. And in her final scene I'd say she was pretty magnificent. It's been 40-plus years since I saw YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW.

Even though she was nominated for a BAFTA for Best Actress, the role really feels like a supporting one, and I think she stands head and shoulders above most of the 1966 nominees.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332927489873520649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640084.post-90383296372057408752008-08-31T16:41:00.000-04:002008-08-31T16:41:00.000-04:00I have to say I like Hiller over Dennis.

In any case, here's my takes on the performances:<BR/><BR/>Sandy Dennis in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - 5 Stars<BR/>Dennis toys with the script like a cat with a mouse, hinting at a potential aptitude for manipulation greater on equal with that of George and Martha.
