Major Barbara speaking (1941)

[mazzymuso]

This is very clever and enjoyable film. All the cast are fantastic, especially Wendy Hillier and Robert Newton as the charming ruffian Bill Walker. There is a great chemistry between these two-which is corroborated by Hillier's recollection of Newton as 'Large,lovely and outrageous.'

I came when she said "come, come, come"

this story made me follow Shaw and his Mr. Cousins that I became a studier of comparative religions too. And Hermeneutics. See Joseph Campbell.

I recognize a very young Re Harrison & Deborah Kerr. This is the first time I've seen Wendy Hiller. And you're right she's got a marvelous diction. And the dialog written is sublime. It's very rare in todays film to encounter such character driven films with great dialogs. Thanks for posting this clip. You wouldn't happen to have the rest the film, do you? I'd love to watch the entire show.

I find this to be one of Shaw's most fascinating plays. The humor is surprisingly modern, too. Thanks for posting this clip. I do adore Wendy Hiller's precise diction; she's perfect in this role.
