...Hall of Fame introduced French Canadian Actress Genevieve Bujold, 25, in Shaw's Saint Joan. Already known in the U.S. as the rebellious teen-ager from the French film La Guerre Ext Finie, the young newcomer to TV made no effort to match the mature emotion of Ingrid Bergman's oft-praised Joan in Maxwell Anderson's stage and movie versions or the mystical intensity of Julie Harris in Jean Anouilh's The Lark. She settled instead for her own ability to move between ingenuous youth and wide-eyed fanaticism as the script demanded. The sight...
Thursday, December 7 CBS THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIES (CBS, 9-1 1 p.m.). Under Capricorn. Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Gotten, Michael Wilding and Margaret Leighton are the stars in this 1949 Alfred Hitchcock thriller about a rehabilitated convict and his household in 19th century Australia...

Gable never played Gable better, and never was the glowing ideal, or illusion, of fiery Southern girlhood...
...central failure of the play is a credibility gap between the audience and the characters. One believes in neither their shenanigans nor their sufferings. The actors do not close the gap. Ingrid Bergman is beguilingly lovely at 52, but she poses, more often than she performs, for a camera that is not there. Colleen Dewhurst puts consistent bristle, greed and spunk into Sara, bul cajolery does not seem to be her brand of brogue. Since quite a bit of O'Neill's dialogue is melodramatic, maudlin or mushy, Arthur Hill does little more than tread gingerly...
