I'm a guy and every time I see this I'm crying like a girl by the end :) George was SO good in that trial sequence. It's melodramatic to a ridiculous extreme but George pulls it off. Every time she looked at her son you can see the pain and agony in her face.
shareYep. Cried like a baby. I treated myself to both earlier talkie versions today - Ruth Chatterton and Gladys George. Cried at both of them! Both actresses are amazing. Both dove deep. Raw and real. Kudos big time to them.
shareI have the one with Chatterton but have yet to see it. Did you ever see the one with Lana Turner? I was dry-eyed at that. She was a wonderful actress but I didn't buy her at all in that role.
shareYup.
Gladys George is one of the most underrated actresses of that era.
