barred on a technicality

On youtube there’s a 2-part compilation of clips from Celeste Holm’s Oscar-winning performance in Gentleman’s Agreement (1947).

She stars as the supporting actress alongside a very suave Gregory Peck (whose character pretends to be Jewish for eight weeks for the sake of an article he’s writing on anti-semitism). Holm certainly holds a candle to Peck and, dare I say it, maybe even outshines his performance (though, to be fair, his character is quite flat on account of the way he’s written). Part two.
