Gregory Peck

I thought I had watched everything by Hitchcock (the American period at least), but apparently not The Paradine Case. It wasn't even half as good as his best works, mainly, I think due to the weak script. The other disappointment is Gregory Peck who played the defence lawyer. Wooden is the word I would use to describe his performance and I was amazed to find that though his good looks was impeccable, the charm was absent somehow and there seemed to be a void in his brain. Pity is not enough to describe my disappointment because until that point, he was one of my childhood favourite actors, and I would have defended his name regardless of what others have to say about him. Not any longer.
