Was cracking me up from the luncheon at her home to the "check the stranger in the bathtub" ending - HILARIOUS. didn't know she won an Oscar until checking the imdb site - glad to see - one of the deserved-it wins. great timing, delivery, faces, screams, gasps and lines.

It is a great performance in humor but I am a little surprised that she won the Oscar for it since it was comical

yeah what's up with the prejudice toward dramatic roles and against comic turns in awards? is it because drama seems more genuine and comedy insincere? it's weird.

She was fabulous, and it is the most interesting role in the movie (or play.)

Which would be worse, to live as a monster or to die as a good man?

You have got to see her in Arsenic and Old Lace :)

She's brilliant and deserved the Oscar and Golden Globe she won.

She is really good to watch in this and in 'Arsenic And Old Lace' which is one of my favourite black comedies.
