The Silver Screen Oasis

I loved Cathy Downs in My Darling Clementine.

You know, Ken, since you or someone else mentioned her being very good, I have watched her in this film a couple of times.

You are right, she is very, very good. She takes a thankless role and turns in a modest, self-effacing, and lovely performance. She obviously has smarts, and a sense of humor, but the overriding impression you have of her from the film is that of a calm, dainty, yet resolute and very sensible woman. Her delicate fairness belies a well-rounded woman. And I love her voice.

She reminds me of Laraine Day, in that she could be very feminine, but you always knew she had great good nature underneath the beauty.

The cinematography in this film is unforgettable.
