Barbara Stanwyck
52 films · 1 series
Reviewing a DVD set, Brad Stevens's BFI piece writes that eight seconds of her are lost: the telephone conversation with Eugene Pallette in The Lady Eve, missing at the close of the eighty-fifth minute. Five more writers take Barbara Stanwyck's name as a measure. Kim Newman names her part in Double Indemnity, Phyllis. Charlotte O'Sullivan mentions the mother of Stella Dallas. Geoffrey Macnab counts her with Lauren Bacall as an instance of the tough woman part, while Stephanie Zacharek writes that a director thought he was presenting a Stanwyck of our day in Julia Roberts. Fifty-two works of hers stand with us, and the cast begins with her on Stella Dallas and The Lady Eve.
