I find it so much easier to root for her.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-60127837030011442352014-01-06T20:43:03.712+02:002014-01-06T20:43:03.712+02:00Do not get me wrong.

The trouble was the leads and I am afraid you are right. Somehow they needed to get that boat out into the rough seas and that required Joan Webster to do something no sane person would do. I would actually have been okay with it if she (stupidly) had gone herself, but she had to drag that boy into it and that makes it unforgivable in my book.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-41883846232789981512014-01-06T19:39:08.441+02:002014-01-06T19:39:08.441+02:00I think her transformation from being a bit of a s...I think her transformation from being a bit of a spoiled brat was the point, though I guess your argument that she was TOO selfish may be valid. Wendy Hiller's bigger problem for me is that she pales a bit in comparison to Pamela Brown.Chris, a librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417028033965524687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-71461841663982152342014-01-06T17:41:51.383+02:002014-01-06T17:41:51.383+02:00I don't think it is Wendy Hiller that is unple...I don't think it is Wendy Hiller that is unpleasant. She can be very charming as she was in Pygmalion. Probably Pressburger to blame. That act of taking the boat out in the storm injects drama and FX into the film!<br /><br />I think I like this more than you guys but strictly for the scenery and the music.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-81051073623442419382014-01-06T09:16:07.369+02:002014-01-06T09:16:07.369+02:00I would not go so far as to say that I hated the f...I would not go so far as to say that I hated the film, but she did ruin it for me to. I wonder why they made her so unlikeable, if iy was intended or if it is just that actress.<br /> TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-439795989262987992014-01-06T09:14:36.388+02:002014-01-06T09:14:36.388+02:00Yes, that is exactly what I thought.

I have to like the two main characters, though, and in this one I seriously disliked the female lead. She's a selfish spoiled brat who has never grown up.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
