Dragonwyck is quite an auspicious debut, and only 4 years before All About Eve. Gene Tierney at her best, Vincent Price and Walter Huston as well (tho the latter comes and goes).

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that both Tierney and Teresa Wright performed truncated radio performances of the piece around the same time--I can't help thinking of Wright whenever I see Tierney. They look so similar... Wright was a better actress, but Tierney had the glow of a star. Such a shame their work is so limited (Tierney had her issues and Wright did her best work in the theater).
