Page let down your overacting guard
2 February 2024
I can't stand Geraldine Page. Im assuming Page was trained for theatre acting Her mannerisms are exaggerated her irritating tone and dictation. Page would have been terrified during the silent era. Acting was exaggerated. Her silence is exaggerated Everything Page does is exaggerated. Performing in front of a movie camera and performing on stage in front of an audience is two entirely different undertakings. That's not a top notch performance if the viewers know you're acting. James Cagney said, "Walk in, plant your feet, look the other fellow in the eye and...tell the truth." Page tried too hard in every scene to make a point. Page should have learned the proper etiquette before being cast to perform in front of a movie camera. Not all stage actresses have that star quality, charisma. Page is annoying and boring. Wendy Hiller, love her a great actress. Dean, miscast he tried tho. Beautiful Gene I didn't catch her acting, not once.
