| Redgrave and Robert Sean Leonard were terrific. They had matching long bodies. Dennehy and Philip Seymour Hoffman, not so much, although they had matching roundish bodies. As was his wont, Dennehy tramped loudly around the stage and bellowed. Hoffman kind of melted into the scenery. The Robert Ryan/Geraldine Fitzgerald version was better. I was in London when Olivier was playing and I didn't bother to go. ("I'll see him in something else when I'm back.", which is the same thing I said when I passed on Barbara Streisand in Funny Girl, which didn't get very good reviews and I thought I'd wait to see her in something better.) I consider the movie version with the great Ralph Richardson hitting the right tones and Katherine Hepburn mostly under control was better. (Hepburn in Delicate Balance was the role she was born to play, along with a heartbreaking Joseph Cotton.) |
