Susan Swifts peformance...
Who else thinks that she was phenomenal in this? I certainly do. Especially in the age regression scene.
And now for something completely different.

She's hypnotizing. She looks like a younger Karen Black!
The communists gave my mother a job teaching sculpture to limbless children.

In my opinion, her performance was terrible. She wasn't a very good actress. I had always only seen parts of this movie, I finally got to see everything but the end...I don't know, she was pretty good at acting freaked out, but when she was being normal Ivy...she was kind of dorky.
What happened at the end? I know she was about to go under hypnosis, but I didn't catch what happened at the end. Did her father finally believe that she was Audrey Rose incarnated?

He hypnotises and regresses her back to her infancy and in to her previous life as Audrey Rose.
When she becomes Audrey, she can't come out of it, and starts choking because she is reliving the smoke inhalation.
Ivy dies.
It ends with Janice writing a letter to Elliot Hoover, who has went back to India, the letter indicates that Bill has never really accepted Ivy's death, or reincarnation.
I thought Susan Swift did a very good job during the hypnotism/regression scene. It's probably her best scene in the whole movie.
You should try watching that part, that part was very powerful. I kind of agree with you about her performance during the regular dialogue scenes, but she does a very good job during the scene I said above, and the scene is a pretty demanding one too.
She has to pretend to be different ages in that scene, he takes her back to her 8th birthday party, 4th birthday party, infancy, and then her mothers womb. She even changes her voice and everything as she's supposed to be younger.
You may not like him, Minister, but you can't deny, Dumbledore's got style.
Thanks for your response. Maybe that scene will make a difference. It's too bad they had to have Ivy die in the end.
