A wonderfully written and insightful analysis of 5 of Ruth Gordon’s roles, by Dan Callahan.
Excerpt:
Witch or free spirit, lunatic or sage, Gordon was great at keeping us all off guard; even when she was just phoning it in for her later movies (in one she supported Pia Zadora!), she was phoning it in from Mars, or some kingdom of her own.
Not to be missed.
