Faye Dunaway talks very fast in this movie.


I didn't mind it. I thought she gave a very amusing performance, but sometimes she talked so fast it was hard to keep up.

She played such a firey and driven character, that had so much ambition and ego, that one would have to be-able to keep up with her aggressive and threating personality in order to stay in her league and company. She was quite a frightening and horrendous woman really. Terrific performance.

Screenwriter Paddy Chayevsky wrote many dialogue-heavy scenes in his movies. The directors often had to have the actors speed it up, to get all the dialogue in. Cheyevsky didn't want any of his dialogue cut out.
