great in 1941, but hammy by today's standards.

Are you kidding? He's the best part of the movie!

Yeah, and I heard that War and Peace is bad novel, Mozart's Requiem is dull and Michelangelo's David is kitschy... for todays standards.

I thought Heflin was oustanding. Do you think alcoholics act differently today than 70 years ago?

In fact, I think Heflin's performance was one of the top best supporting actor performances ever.

No, OP, you are wrong. Not only that, you are a moron. Heflin was incredibly good.
