Eva Marie Saint was really pretty in this film


Actually not just pretty, beautiful. Before this, I only saw her in North by Northwest and some movies where she is older.

I thought she was around 25 when the movie was shot, turns out she was actually 30.

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.

I would have to agree. She was gorgeous. Great film, but her beauty was a bit distracting. In a good way of course.

yeah she was very much a standout, even among actresses

stunning. she had a, i dunno, quality of some kind. very hot indeed


she reminds me of a young lady i know now. i gotta say, eva's bone structure looks a little bit ethnic in this one. never noticed that before tonight. but seriously, her cheekbones and lips and eyes..... looks kinda darkish, roundish

Check her out in North By Northwest. Especially the scene in the train diner where she is seducing Cary Grant. Unbelievably beautiful and sexy.

Whenever I watch a Brando film where he's at his absolute best, I can only keep my attention on his greatness. But, Eva's beauty is too much to ignore that I always end up falling for her, thus my focus is drawn only to her.

Her character wasn't even meant to be this sexy, seductive and desirable heroine, but it's hard not to see her this way despite her cute innocence.


Do you know how HARD it is for a bloody black man to get a cab on Thanksgiving?

I know that the cast was almost completely male. She was Not a Supporting Actress, She was the Lead Actress in this film! Should have gone up against the "Big guns" as Best Actress in a leading role of 1954!!

Eve Marie Saint bwas smoking hot in this film.

Its that man again!!

Agree. The more minimal appearance brought something out of her. I think she looks much better than in N by NW even though most people talk about her in that movie.

I was going to write exactly this.
