Subject: RE: hol up

Full disclosure: Anatomy of a Murder is kind of compromised by the always-bad Arthur O'Connell and an unusually bad performance by Lee Remick (in all other films, a superb actress). It's sort of made up for by the excellent Murray Hamilton and the woefully underrated Eve Arden. James Stewart is adequate. Anyway, it's still a bucket list movie because it's interesting and because of Scott.

I feel I need to support Lee Remick a bit more. If anyone ever had any doubt that she was just a pretty Hollywood face, they need to see The Days of Wine and Roses. Brilliant acting by both Remick and Jack Lemmon.
