Oscars: Best Actor–Weak Performances, Rex Harrison in “My Fair Lady”

Harrison, who also played the part on stage, is always charming and often commanding, but his acting is cold and calculated, lacking passion and soul.

What Price Hollywood? (1932): George Cukor’s “Inside View of Hollywood” Melodrama, Starring Constance Bennett, Lowell Sherman, Neil Hamilton, Gregory Ratoff, Louise Beavers

The quality of the film is uneven. It was pushed into production too quickly, with a script that Cukor never approved of. The narrative is incoherent, shifting to a silly romance and marriage between Bennett and her polo-playing beau, which weakens the film.
