Just As Beautiful
Just As Beautiful
On the acting side we have Ava Gardner playing the lonely drunken Moira. She has done this type of part before. She is still just as beautiful. Gregory Peek is superb as Gregory Peck. Anthony Perkins gives us another of those twitching, hesitant, self-conscious adolescent-adults that he has done so often before. But the acting honours go to Fred Astaire, who is quite superb as the lonely and guilty nuclear scientist. He is, as we know, a great dancer. He has the makings of a great actor.
