First off, I hope you'll forgive me for being so late in thanking you for your remarks and their generous kindness.
And in turn, may I say that I find your evaluation of both Kramer's and March's work in the film bang on (as the Brits say).
In one of my earlier comments, I volunteered that I wasn't such a fan of March's pre-war work, but since then, I've had the opportunity to catch some of it that I'd missed, as well as to take a second look at some others of his films I'd already seen. Those opportunities have brought about something of a reevaluation; I detected skillful nuances to which I'd not been exposed earlier, or that had escaped me initially.
Although I remain most appreciative of his work from, say,
The Best Years Of Our Lives
on, my regard for his craftsmanship overall has only grown since I first jumped onto this thread.

It looked to me more like a make-up job to make him closely resemble William Jennings Bryan, the real life person on whom March's character was based on. Check out the photograph of Bryan with Clarence Darrow (who was the defending lawyer in the case) in Scopes Monkey Trial entry in wikipedia.org and see for yourself.

Those used to March's youthful leading man roles would be even more surprised at his last film appearance, as the senile, drunken barkeep Harry Hope in Lumet's adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's
The Iceman Cometh
.
March is the one wearing the hat:
