Wendy Hiller

Ensemble.

And it's really, it's a movie about four people really, and then you've got, you know, you've got people like Wendy Hiller and Gladys Cooper who are kinda orbiting around them.

But you've got, you know, David Niven, who did win that year for Best Actor.

Um, and then you've got Deborah Kerr in this, and then you've also got Rita Hayworth and Burt Lancaster.

Yeah, you never think about him in Gone with the Wind as the only one of those major cast members that doesn't get Oscar nominated for it.

He's, you know... just sort of on the sidelines is a you know Pygmalion also I guess like his other Oscar nomination probably his most notable role otherwise but like I mean he gets eclipsed not necessarily by Wendy Hiller although I actually haven't seen that Pygmalion but like just the long cinematic history of you know My Fair Lady and other adaptations of it so like You know, he's not even your first, you know, Henry Higgins that you think of cinematically.

So, yeah, he's an interesting figure.

I did not.

No, I thought there were a lot.

Wendy Hiller is wonderful in Orient Express as the old dowager countess.

Everybody's good.

Yeah, they're all good.

Gielgud.

John Gielgud, and Wendy Hiller.

Cinematographer Freddie Francis, producer Mel Brooks.

That's fun.

But director Jack Cardiff's 1960 film version.

which starred Dean Stockwell as Paul, Wendy Hiller as Gertrude, and Trevor Howard as Morell, the father, was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Oh, goodness.

It only won one for Best Cinematography, Black and White.
