Re: Worst actor/actress?

sorry...I'm somewhat new to site and reviewing some rather old posts....but am loving the detail of those said posts

as for worst actor/actress...the difference between Ray Milland's two appearances is night and day...fantastic in Death Lends a Hand and lame lame lame in Greenhouse.

My fellow Canadian Larry Mann's performance...Albert... in Murder Under Glass was very wooden I thought.

Re: Worst actor/actress?

I love when Jarvis is supposedly disguising his voice on the phone. He sounds like someone doing a Ray Milland impression lol.

Re: Worst actor/actress?

Oh yes, the fiancée Lisa Chambers, the way she kicks her leg back behind her on opening a door, sliding down the bannister, definitely cringe-making.

Agree with Dagger of the Mind, everyone except the butler was totally over acting, but I suppose they were 'luvvies'?
