From Wikipedia:
"Meg Tilly was cast as Mozart's wife Constanze, but she tore a ligament in her leg the day before shooting started. She was replaced by Elizabeth Berridge."
Berridge had no rehearsal time. -

Me too. I can't imagine Meg Tilly in the role with her meek voice, but Milos Forman seemed infatuated with her.
I think Elizabeth Berridge pulled off a decent performance. Not as remarkable as the two leading men, but then she was allowed less space to maneuver. -

Hmmm. I thought she was very memorablein a good wayas Costanze. I thought she made a good counterpart to Hulce's Mozart. Never really considered people might have a problem with her performance, but obviously there's quite a few of you out there.

I don't know that I'd say one of the worst ever, but I will agree she's way out of her depth here, and the prestige of the film exacerbates this.

The only thing I objected to with Berridge is that she sounded like she came directly from Hollywood. She slurred words or would say "wanna" instead of want to, etc. I think Meg Tilly would have been better, different and better.

I agree with the "wanna"s. That should have been corrected.
At first I thought she sounded horrible but she really grew into the role and became more firey as we saw the relationship develop. By the end I thought she stood out and was very good in her role. Quite dynamic. -

She was supposed to be annoying and of "average at best" intelligence. I always thought the portrayal was intentional. I also think physically, right down to the boobs, is what Constance was described to look like in real life.
