Elizabeth Berridge - One of the worst acting performances ever?


I couldn't even take the movie seriously she was so bad as Constanze. Unbelievably dreadful.

she's not that bad but definitely the weaker among the cast.. her first scene was probably the only one i liked
.

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.

You try not being hired for a job until the exact same day you are required to start it and see how you go with no prep time whatsoever.

I have to agree with you. She tried hard, but she was terribly miscast. She looked exactly like what she was: A 20th Century NY suburban girl trying to act like a girl living in 18th Century Vienna. Not very convincing at all.

She clearly didn't make any effort to get into the role, I think maybe she didn't have time to get into the role so maybe she just winged it. Either way her cleavage was amazing.

She kind of reminded me of my friend's mom, which was kind of weird.
