Am I the only person who thinks Diana Wynyard is the image of Norma Shearer in this film?? It's uncanny!

You are not alone! I watched this movie this morning, and could have sworn it was a young Norma. I had to check and make sure...uncanny is right!

No disrespect to the late Miss Wynyard, but Norma, even with her wonky eyes, was much prettier.

YES! Immediately noticed similarity. I came here to double check.

I'm thinkin' more along the lines of she looks like Mary Gross from SNL.

Yes. I checked the credits here to find out.

A little now that you mention it, but I don't think I would have come to that conclusion on my own.

Ethel Barrymore reminds me of an older Anne Bancroft, too.

Diana Wynyard's wonky eye is worse than Norma Shearer's wonky eye.

I finally saw both this and Men Must Fight for the first time yesterday, and during the latter, it suddenly struck me that Wynyard and Michael Cera were separated at birth!
