She sneered at common laboring boys. (I edited the filmography, liberally.)

Elmer Gantry > Black Narcissus > Great Expectations

There is too much else going on in Black Narcissus besides Jean for me to vote for it. Maybe will go with Great Expectations. Also, must ...finally see... Guys And Dolls]

She's phenomenal in Elmer Gantry -- hot and cold in equal measure -- and never got an Oscar nomination for it. Also terrific in Angel Face.

definitely check out The Actress (in which she's essentially playing young Ruth Gordon, w/ Spencer Tracy as her dad).

― Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 12:03 (fifteen years ago)

I'll check it out, but will turn it off before they get to old Ruth Gordon.

alas, there is none (she and Garson Kanin wrote it).

― Rage, Resentment, Spleen (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 15:04 (fifteen years ago)

That's kind of what I figured after I thought about it a little bit.

two months pass...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Two months to decide your fave Jean Simmons?? That's rabid cinephilia. Anyhoo, Angel Face for me obviously. Only thing (sorta) missing is her turn as Helen Lawson in the TV Valley of the Dolls.

― Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 22 April 2010 23:20 (fifteen years ago)

i need another two months

I think I've only seen Angel Face and Spartacus on that list, so, Angel Face it is!

― Nhex, Friday, 23 April 2010 08:36 (fifteen years ago)

Wonder if the number of votes will go to eleven?

― Blecch Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 23 April 2010 13:27 (fifteen years ago)

(argh at idiotic moronic extra question mark)

― Blecch Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 23 April 2010 13:28 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Friday, 23 April 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

13 votes! A record turnout!

― Blecch Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 23 April 2010 23:29 (fifteen years ago)

Jean isn't in Black Narcissus for 13 minutes!

― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Friday, 23 April 2010 23:59 (fifteen years ago)
