    It’s my understanding that he cared more about stage acting than films, but he needed to pay the bills.

    He was starred a Broadway production of Dracula and was apparently incredible. I would have loved to have seen it. Edward Gorey designed the sets.

    Edit: also, I’m surprised you didn’t mention Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is a genuinely terrific film.

        Ooh. I just realized that I replied to the wrong person in my edit, which is why my “Edit: also, I’m surprised you didn’t mention Kiss of the Spider Woman, which is a genuinely terrific film.” made no sense to you.

        You should. It’s an amazing film. It deservedly won an Oscar for William Hurt and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. Julia deserved a nom too, but it had to be either Hurt or Julia since they had mostly equal screen time.
