This was wonderful, I thought Jennifer Jones was great, but her performance is so very different from every one else (broad and big, like other screwball protagonists) that it often felt a bit off putting... but it was supposed to! So not a negative just a little weird to watch, but I remember reacting “that was really weird (and wonderful)” about Hepburns performance in bringing up baby the first time I saw it.
But I could see why people find it off putting it’s not as charismatic as BUB and lacks a Cary Grant character gradually coming up to her level to balance things out—rather the opposite with Wilson sucking energy out of everything, sort of leaves her committed performance frequently hanging.
But wow the supporting cast and dialogue are so damn good.
