Don Murray's Deliciously Subtle Performance


Just kidding. See Don in Advise and Consent or Hatful of Rain. He became quite competent actor who took risks. THIS is the single most unbelievable and moronic performance in any major motion picture. Bar none. Joshua Logan is in charge - the director who ruined the movie of South Pacific with his weird 'red filters and 'colors for mood' ideas.

Glad to hear you were kidding because Don Murray has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer here. He's very entertaining, though – perhaps a bit too much.

Yeah but he sure was easy on the eye.

Especially that tub he was delicious

Thanks! I love to turn on other people to movies I love. And Wendy Hiller was a marvelous Eliza Doolittle in the original 'My Fair Lady' which is 'Pygmalion' with Leslie Howard.

Dubbed singing in a musical? Yuck! And Rex Harrison is so old he has a dowager's hump. I love the songs when Julie Andrews sings them. When I was a kid my folks had the My Fair lady album (who didn't!) Julie was a real trooper even when 13 - here she is singing God Save the Queen at a royal command performance with Danny Kaye and a lot of old British talent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPnwENZaX8U
But I must insist you dress appropriately and stand if you watch this!
