Someone else said it best:
“I don’t think any actress in English-speaking cinema of this era had such a variety of love interests as Sylvia Syms. It helped that she was beautiful, of course… that she could act: it’s hard to think of a bad Sylvia Syms performance – sometimes she was miscast, but never bad. She always brought a level of intelligence to her roles along with a sense of fun. And she was highly adept playing “smouldering hot lava of emotion and sensuality under an outwardly straight-laced and sensible facade” that made her – and this is meant with nothing but the greatest respect to the recently departed – sexy as hell.”
So:
See what he meant?
“had such a variety of love interests” … what a lovely euphemism. The title of a John Ford play of the 17th century was a wee more blunt. Methinks we could use a little more 17th century in our discourse these days. We appreciate that this place is, of course, a refuge from that everyday shite.
Looking at the ‘ice cold’ in Alex. Woah.
