I'm already on the record as saying that it's the most under-appreciated Oscar-winning performance in film history. Yeah, well, guess what (and after seeing the movie again), I was way off. Not only is Ms. Baxter's performance one of the most under-appreciated, it's also one of the greatest in movie history, PERIOD! The way that she transforms herself from a young and innocent girl to such a fallen soul is as heartbreaking as it is mesmerizing, and if there's anybody out there who can watch those scenes at the end without a lump in their throat/tear in their eye, they're a better person than me.
