This is the loudest 'quiet' movie I've ever watched. Julie Harris was certainly effective as Frankie and the angst of a pre-teen. But the screech! I wish she had taken it down a notch. IMO it would have given the performance more impact.
There's a difference between acting on stage and acting in film. With a camera on you there's a nuance that can be provided that can't on stage, where projection is everything.

That is a perfect metaphor.

Surprised your post hasn't started an online lynch mob, but I completely agree. The part is incredibly shrill to begin with, but the scenery-chewing here is like nothing I've seen outside of "Lion In Winter". Wow. Just finished watching and that performance is still going off in my head like a car alarm.

The veteran director should have instructed Miss Harris to "dial it down." Her performance seems to be intended for the last row of the balcony, fine for a live theater engagement but not desirable for a film performance. That remains one of the film's drawbacks.
