They don't seem to be concerned about the daughter. I don't know if you're taking the Hitchcock course, but they spoke of how many British film actors were primarily stage actors, who considered films slumming. Possibly, that's what was going on there. I don't think Hitchcock is the type of director is going to finesse a good performance of his actors if they weren't into it. Obviously with James Stewart and Doris Day, he didn't need to. Leslie Banks and Edna Best, maybe not. Then again, Hitchcock considered the 1934 version the work of a talented amateur. Maybe part of that was not providing the place for the actors to shine.Chris Sturhannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072912463936961199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754378456709197860.post-12378991134433768972017-07-13T06:16:26.823-07:002017-07-13T06:16:26.823-07:00I haven't seen 1956 in forever but one thing I...I haven't seen 1956 in forever but one thing I noticed about 1934 is that the parents never seem too concerned about their daughter.
