I never realized the connection of Clifton Webb and Mr. Peabody! Of course!
I saw this movie a few years ago and will have to see it again. Have you ever watched,” The Man who Never Was”? Clifton Webb was excellent in that movie and so were the other actors. I would like to read your opinion of that movie.
I'm a great admirer of The Man Who Never Was -- a superb movie. I haven't seen it in a while, though, so I'd have to see it again to remind myself of his performance. I've never seen Clifton Webb do anything other than an excellent job: in Cheaper by the Dozen, for example; absolutely terrific scene where with understatement and flat-footed pretending not to know what the lady is there for, he puts to shame the woman from Planned Parenthood ...
I agree with your father: Clifton Webb is a solid actor. So far I have liked everything he did. He is a convincing snob in “Titanic”—but a snob with courage and a strong moral compass when reality intrudes. He’s satisfyingly, suitably interfering and annoying in “Laura”, too. Like Barbara Stanwyck, his co-star in “Titanic”, he is a joy to watch in either comedy or drama. Before even watching “Sitting Pretty” I can practically hear his superior, peevish voice and his devastating verbiage. I’m looking forward to it.
