Awesome performances in this movie!


Cudos to all the outstanding performances in this movie, from lead and supporting cast alike! Although the story (which is exceptionally told) was quite depressing (to me, anyways), I found myself totally rivetted by it, and very much by the across-the-board stunning performances. Fredric March's performance, in particular, totally knocks it out of the ballpark! Incidentally, I couldn't even recognize him as being Fredric March (although, of course, I was fully aware, from the get-go, that it was him co-starring); looked like an entirely different man! Except for possibly the actor portraying George, who made minimal impact on me, the ENTIRE rest of the cast absolutely wowed me by their entirely naturalistic and convincing performances!

Indeed, and it must be a thrill as an actor to do ANY material from Paddy Chayefsky
