  • This is one of the greatest scenes ever in the history of movies. It summarizes but then far transcends Hellman's put-down of the South in Little Foxes. It is unforgettable, thanks largely to Patricia Collinge's increditble creation of Aunt Birdie.

  • What an amazing performance by Ms. Collinge! It reminds me, but still surpasses her beautiful portrayal of the duped sister of Joseph Cotton in "Shadow of A Doubt." Thank you so much for posting; wish you hadn't disabled the ratings! Earns 5 plus with me!

  • Thanks!!!! As I mentioned before that scene and the performance given by Ms Collinge was truly life altering. Definitely the most amazing scenes in the history of films :)

    Did you know she was a columnist as well for the New York Times I believe???

    They truly don't make em like they use ta!

  • I agree completely! That scene was life altering for me. It is now one of my favourite films/plays of all time. I'm glad you feel the same way. Thanks for your sharing your insights :)

  • one of my favorite actresses incredible , your heart aches for her , AAAA++++++

  • Thank you for putting up a tribute to Ms. Collinge. Many people rave about Little Foxes' Regina, some reviews even skip Ms. Collinge's name and minimize the importance of Birdie's character. While Bette Davis and all the others did a wonderful job in the movie, I consider Birdie a pivotal character in the play, and she certainly deserves more attention.

  • @varadero1839 She actually wrote also for the New Yorker, so she definitely did write for an elegant publication! I'd loved Ms. Collinge in "Shadow of a Doubt," but just viewed her on Hitchock's television episode "The Cheney Vase," created 15 years later, and she was absolutely mesmerizing. And now this clip from The Little Foxes, in her earliest days -- what a wonder. As you say, a "Beneficient force of nature."

  • Dear sam187,

    I never knew she wrote for the NYT, but I'm not surprised! Given all her talents, and incredible gifts, I'm thinking she could have written for any of the more elegant publications of the day. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Thanks for your generous response! In her surprisingly quiet way, she was really like a beneficent force of nature.
