...purest quality; Sargent's Carol Lynley plays her as a pale finishing-school dropout turned unfinished actress, capturing the walk but not the talk. And Lynley is appropriately supported. Ginger Rogers and Barry Sullivan are grotesquely grasping as her stage mother and stepfather; Efrem Zimbalist Jr., playing a counterfeit composite of Harlow's last costar, Clark Gable, and her last love, William Powell, seems more like Ronald Colman than either...
