I thought her overacting was cringe-making. I saw Diana Rigg on stage in Auckland a few years ago and she was the same, the only one of the cast whose grimacing you could make out from up in "the gods" -- maybe even without aid of makeup to delineate and exaggerate her facial expressions. Oh for the days, Diana, when you were just a cool, beautiful mask in those Avengers tv appearances. Less was more, because we could read what we liked into your self-satisfied smirk (which probably came across accidentally because of your inexperience, a la Lauren Bacall in "To Have and Have Not").
share^ Perhaps the role demanded 'over-acting'. It's hard for an actor to gauge their performance in an unfamiliar theatre.
shareI think Diana Rigg poured every delicious and satisfying bit of venom into the role that she could muster and I am glad she did. I have just been watching this again on You Tube. Also from New Zealand by the way as was previous message.
shareShe certainly did not overact.
Its that man again!!
I thought it was amazing. Great story and every single person in the cast just nailed it. But then, I've had a crush on David McCallum for fifty years...lol.
