just saw this on tcm and i have to say i be floor by harding performance and who i saw here for the first time . it take real talent to act in melodramatic scene and deliver them so naturally that the viewer never question your authenticity . harding add hundred of little touch a gesture here and an eye movement there and that make her performance show you what natural acting be all about . in fact and she make everyone else pale by comparison powell be his usual charming self and but next to harding he come off a a typical hollywood performer . and talk about sophistication . harding have to be the ultimate in cool . i can only guess the reason she do not become as big a hepburn or davis be that she do not fight for good film . i will be sure to look for more of her work soon .
