Velma


Velma is 19 yrs old?! She looked older than Marie.

That part was a bit surprising to me as well. I don't know if I was more mad at her for her cold treatment toward Roy after her surgery or him for his expecting more than was there...

Velma seemed to be a much nicer person before her club foot was fixed. Sometimes an impediment like that teaches character but the minute her foot was fixed she seemed to transform and not for the better.

I got the impression she was coming on to Roy but maybe I misunderstood as Roy apparently did. Still, she seemed unnecessarily harsh.

The actress was only twenty-two at the time the movie was made but I agree, she looks a lot older than that. Shelley, who was thirty five at the time, looks many years younger.

I can't see what you guys are seeing. Lori Nelson was twenty-one when the movie was filmed from February to April of 1955, and Shelly Winters was thirty-four. Nelson looks much younger than Winters.
