Who thought Shirley deserved the OSCAR for this movie....???
.... and I mean "OSCAR" as in "Overacting Self Conscious Annoying Role"!!! I swear by the end of the movie when she has her confessional breakdown, I nearly vomited. How about some mayo with that HAM, Shirley?!? I really think that was why she wasn't nominated for this perf, even though by 1961 she already had like two Best Actress nods. She couldn't fool the Academy into thinking this was a credible work. It was a blatantly self-conscious piece of artistic drivel. A stain on the otherwise flawless career of one of the silver screen's most prolific and talented actresses.
