» pamela_saint - Calista & Shakespeare
Hi Susan,I couldn't help but chuckle when I read your opinion of Calista Flockhart's performance in the recent film version of a Midsummer's Night Dream. I haven't seen the movie, but I did see her, about a year before she hit the big-time on t.v., in a stage performance of Romeo & Juliet. She was dreadful--heaving her little body and breathily exclaiming, "Oh Roo-meeee-oooo." My husband and I were laughing so hard we had to leave.

I don't know, maybe I'm being unfair to her. I think I'm comparing her to Emma Thompson's performance on stage, hers was the best Helena I've seen.
Flockhart was just so hyper, she made me hate her character

In response to message posted by billie0:I'll caste my vote for the 1935 version with Mickey Rooney and Olivia de Havilland... somehow Folkhart, Michelle Pfeiffer and Kelvin Kline just haven't got IT ( SHAKESPEARE ) Thanks Classical Diva
