Perhaps it's because I'm younger than some folks but every time I watch most any pre 1960s film I always find the performances so overly dramatic (melodramatic) to downright hammy - the way actors turn their head the way they stick their hands out and croon for a camera angle - I mean it just seems so unnatural and it's with virtually every movie or TV show from the era.
I mean at 1:50 of that clip TWB posted - Garland just looks silly to me. It's every movie - from Casablanca to Citizen Kane. Lines are delivered and everything always seems "acted."
Do people just look past all this or do folks in their 70s who grew up and got used to this silly stilted acting just not notice it I wonder? I remember when I was 8 I liked the Twilight Zone and several other shows of that era but I find them virtually unwatchable the lines and the acting is so laughable by modern standards.
