I always remember her performance in The Hasty Heart. Superb portrayal indeed of a nursing sister. It was in 1949, England still dimly realizing that the end of the war was not going to bring instant paradise.
It was made in an old Aircraft Hanger and had to simulate hospital scenes in Burma, 1945. Conditions were not the best re the cold interior. They had to wear light tropical clothing to portray Burma. Richard Todd, who played the recalcitrant Scottish soldier, doomed to stay because he had an incurable ailment with his kidneys. He left us only about ten months ago. He soldiered on until 90 years of age. He had seen wartime action.
A nice word here for Ronald Reagan, later President of the United States. He played "Yank" and was the mediator in the often breaking out of the Scotsman's anger. They had not told him the real truth. I always like to think that the quiet rational and diplomatic "Yank" was much like the actual character of Ronald Reagan.
Richard Todd? I think he played in a few Disney movies many years ago. One of them was a movie about Rob Roy (famous Scottish hero). Another one where he played a guy named Charles Brandon, one of Henry the 8’s brothers in law! In both of them, actress Glynis Johns (Mrs. Banks in “Mary Poppins”)played his wife. I’m pretty sure that’s him! I always wonder what happened to him; I hadn’t heard anymore about him in years!
