In the big films with the big stars, frequently it’s a smaller role that remains most vivid, and which over- shadows, by reason of its portrayal, the star’s perform- ance. In “ The Citadel,” for instance, the most vivid memory to me is the one of Dr. Denny, played by Ralph Richardson, who is rapidly accruing a long series of unforgettable characters. Will you ever forget Dr. Denny trying to drown his disillusionment in whisky, yet still hanging on to his ideals and ready to risk everything for them, passing cynical, embittered, humorous comments on the mismanagement of the sanitation of the little Welsh mining village, or having another illusion shattered by his friend Dr. Manson, when he asks him to join in the idealistic sanitorium scheme? He has given us many other vivid memories —the uncouth dictator in “ Things to Come,” the sorrowfully suspicious husband seeking divorce in “ The Divorce of Lady X," the shrewd, amusing intelligence chief in “ Q Planes ” among them. In “ Marie Antoinette," charming as Norma Shearer was, it is Robert Morley 1 recall with the greatest vividness—the dull- witted, kind, simple Louis whose head should never have worn a crown. Do you remember the scene in which he goes out in the rain to address his soldiers and makes such a hopeless mess of it, standing there confused and floundering and ridiculous, and yet so pathetic ? Then again, in “ Marie Walewska,” who can forget Maria Ouspenskaya as Greta Garbo's testy little old aunt who cheats at cards and treats the great Napoleon with a sort of scatter-brained imperi- Henry Oscar, John Wood, ousness and contempt?
