I agree it cannot compare with the play, esp. the Broadway production. But, I think it was okay, even though I could have done without the nurse's antics  |
I did like her in it, but I have the same complaints with most of her recent movies. She developed as an actress many years ago and has since become very conscious in her roles. She was great, especially as the rabbi, but I don't think it was anything we haven't seen before.
The nurse's antics gave it some much needed levity, IMO. Nichols bogged it down so much with ham and heavy-handedness that it was almost a relief to see the nurse onscreen.
