The Actress was truly a PLAY. You could tell this from the outset but after a while, the acting of the players overcame the stilted or cramped feeling of a playlike movie. Eventually I began to think of small , warm scenes of earlier life such as My Town & The skin of My Teeth. Jean had not been acting too long & I wondered if she relied on her memories of being a youth who day dreamed about being an actress. Tony Perkins truly shows a "first" movie appearance. Teresa Wright, as the mom, is very reserved, letting the father, Tracy, be the leader of the family, although sometimes wrongheaded.
A fairly good movie. If you are interested in getting copies of old movies, write me at jn1010life@yahoo for more info. I found a place that copies old movies legally if they are public domain.
