Featured review
This was her role!
Very few actresses can carry the weight of a powerful Greek tragedy like Dame Judith Anderson, she is successful in this low budget play of the week. The quality on the tape was not very good but the sound was fine. I could barely recognize another glorious actress, the wonderful and talented Colleen Dewhurst as one of the other women. Regardless, Dame Judith Anderson is always watchable. It's hard to believe that she played Medea a year before she played Paul Newman's mother in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Dame JUdith can do it all. Some of us remember her from the soap opera, Santa Barbara. Regardless, she is an amazing actress. She was 60 years old playing this role in this film. Despite that, she carried herself and the character better than actresses half her age. That's why she is such a classy dame of theater. She has done Hamlet too. I bought this tape to see an excellent performance and I was not disappointed by Dame Judith. She was one of the finest actresses of her time. Anybody who takes over the role of Medea will always be compared to Dame Judith Anderson's performance.
