Capturing Mary (2007 TV Movie)
3/10
Good Listening Skills Demo

Warning: Spoilers
How many people in your entire life would have any interest in such a long winded story that includes intimate details? Perhaps a few. But then include complete strangers and Mary seems like a doddering self absorbed egotistical nutcase! The camera work was dizzying like a ping pong tournament flipping from angle to angle of just two people's facial expressions.

The young man whose listening skills are beyond human as well as his patience and seemingly sincere appreciation of story telling seemed like a proper ghost. No real being has that much tolerance for boring old women with absolutely nothing to say. I was hoping for some fantastic plot twist with a paranormal aspect but nope. Unless....

I recall "The Prime of Miss Jean Brody" so many decades ago which introduced this lovely versatile actress. After viewing this dire droll drama I was shocked she dared to endanger her reputation with such drivel.

High recommend for 50's fashionistas, that yellow chartreuse (?) dress was spectacular and have never seen such a palette for that era. Even for Smith fans this is a huge disappointment...sigh.
