Have any Southerners ever played these parts? These actors speak too fast to be believable as Southerners, and Sam Waterson doesn't even attempt a Southern accent although the playwright, upon whom Tom's character is based, had a very pronounced Southern accent.
Few actresses could play at this intensity. I think Vivien Leigh, as Blanche Dubois, in her brilliant Oscar winning performance, would be one other...and Bette Davis...but there are few, of her generation, who could carry it off like Kate.
Oh my gosh, I didn't know about the movie! I'm working on my "Final" project for Script Analysis and this is the play we're doing it on. It's terribly late, but I'll watch the full movie once I wake up or something. I looked for it on Netflix and it's available for Instant Watch! Now I won't feel so overwhelmed by 30 pages from my Anthology book. : P Glad I came across this, I only wish I'd found it much sooner! : )
1/14/2021 Thursday, I did the final exam of Engl215 (Drama), which had 3 plays to study; Oedipus Rex, The Comedy of Errors and The Glass Menagerie. I've got B+ overall. I've watched the 2 colored versions of this play "The Glass Menagerie" in preparation for the final exam. God bless.
In my high school Junior, and Senior years I performed this monologue as Tom Wingfield solo. I got an A+, and a standing ovation from everyone in the class including the teacher both times. It was more or less my go to if I needed to get a good grade. I didn't like falling back on it, but I'm ADHD and I have an abusive kidnapper Matriarch as my childhood so I was born to perform roles like this. I just channel all my real trauma and emotion into it form HER, and it becomes almost easy. . . almost.
@MAXPWNAGELOL how so? I must say that I read this play when I was younger and we watched this in our English class and I loved both the play and this adaptation....very poignant play it is, and Katharine Hepburn is brilliant
@oxfordpictionary Can you help me? I am trying to collect some ideas for an alternative ending to this play/movie and I can't think of any. Or what do you think happens to the characters after the play? For example does Tom come back? Jim return? Please help
I never understood how actors can perform in plays night after night, hundreds of performances playing the same part and investing so much time and energy. Must be exhausting.
I've seen several Glass Menagie's that have been filmed/taped (Shirley Booth, Gertrude Lawrence, Joanne Woodward). To me, Katharine's is the definitive Amanda performance. Those who witnessed Laurette Taylor on stage still talk about her as the best, but nothing was saved for posterity. At least in this production, Laura was plain, but still too pretty for what the character should be. The other Laura's are much too pretty in my opinion. Would 20-ish Karen Allen really have trouble finding gentlemen callers? One of my favorite Kate scenes is her describing the plot of the "Homemaker's Companion" magazine serial (by Bessie Mae Harper!) over the phone to a potential subscriber. Her description varies from other productions.
Anthony March same but I’m doing it as an audition to get into drama class and the teacher edited the script because it’s a monologue so it has to make sense without his mothers input
I wonder why they take off the whole play with her in it they have the one up with Gertrude Lawrence in it and the one with Shirley Booth and Joanne Woodward but why did they take hers off
Please do not let this be your only introduction to,'The Glass Menagerie". It is the most wonderful play to explore. This is proof that the best can also not understand.
Yankees are so saturated in their arrogant disdain for the South, Yankee actors seldom play Southerners convincingly. And while most actors would be ashamed to botch, for example, British accents and mannerisms or a Boston accent and mannerisms, Yankee actors typically rely on their own, Yankee speech patterns and mannerisms in their depictions of Southerners, AS IF ignoring Southern sensibilities is no big deal when playing a Southerner. In this scene, these actors -- from New England -- speak too fast to be believable as Southerners, and Sam Waterson doesn't even attempt a Southern accent although the playwright upon whom Tom's character is based spoke with a pronounced Southern accent. I would have loved to have seen Matthew McConaughey, as a young man, play Tom in "The Glass Menagerie."
Somebody Tell me please.... how in the positive hell Katherine Hepburn had a career in the movies or the theatre... she's terrible, horrible, wooden, and that GD accent. I guess it was all her affiliation with George Cukor
Dont be so ignorant. Of course she has her weakness, but it seems to me that you are just being biased. I believe she stuck with the playwright's intent! She is supposed to be very annoying for Tom and for the time this was filmed, it is no wonder why she had so many roles.
This is the exact scene I'm doing for class, so it's really helpful to watch. Thanks for putting it up!
"You'll go up! Up on a broomstick, over Blue Mountain with your seventeen gentlemen callers!"
Tom has some of the best one-liners ever. Ever.
🤣
Magnificent show, magnificent performances.
Every actor in this version is the finest in their roles out of all those I’ve seen!
The "Rise and Shine" speech hits home for me every time ❤
Thank you for posting!! Kate Hepburn is one of the greatest actors of this generation!
and I ADORE Sam!!! He is an amazing man!
I got to perform a monologue of that rant in drama class....I wish I had seen this before I had done it, would've helped me with the emotion and such.
vortigauntfan awesome
I have to do it tomorrow for an audition to get into drama class, any tips?

@@22Too People from St Louis barely have an accent. It’s not like the Deep South New Orleans Cajun.

1:34 Just saving this for a monologue
Sam Waterson must consider this one of the highlights of his career, working alongside Katharine Hepburn, who the older she got, the better the got.
I so love this film.
ooh no, i want more! sam waterston is so fabulous
2:24
Abaw
Sam Waterson must be a great English Literature fan hahahaha!
I've got to play that part

What I love about this is that it would translate as well on the stage as it does on film. Hepburn and Waterston were magnificent.

ive read the book and was just considering this scene for an "individual acting" part i'm doing for a speech meet
@MAXPWNAGELOL how so? I must say that I read this play when I was younger and we watched this in our English class and I loved both the play and this adaptation....very poignant play it is, and Katharine Hepburn is brilliant
KHH was truly a force of nature, and very effective in many of her later roles. I just wish she'd left this one alone.
Wow Sam Waterston is really great.
anthony richardson sorry who
Usin this scene to audition for a University Theatre program. This will for sure help me
so what happened?
@@maxforgottenscuttlebuttskits Oh, it went fantastically! I’m now in my second semester ^-^
@@rustys0rcerer702 that’s great! i’m using it for a virtual talent show (with a winner)
@@rustys0rcerer702 try doin Karl Malden in baby doll
@vladimirsuckmeoff The room is from 2003. The glass menagerie is from 1944.
There is so much of Jack McCoy in that scene.
Using this as a reference for my performance as Tom at school 🫡
It's Sol from Grace and Frankie!
@deriznohappehquite Yea thats the guy that plays Jack McCoy.

lmao "Howwww LUCKY dead people are..." i relate... -.-
What is the piano song called, when the scene changes?
this is when network TV was still viable. they don't make movies at all for network TV,let alone great ones like this.
The last 1:40 of this scene are easily some of the funniest movie moments Ive ever seen.
I thought he did great!
真想看玻璃动物园的整部电影，很遗憾找不到有中文翻译的资源
Wow. Sam looks so young here.
If only law and order was this exciting.
@lunadog116 i think this is a wonderful play :) it's too bad people have to read it in english because it makes them hate it.
love it
I've read the play and watched this movie in English class. =)

Veteran Hepburn vs talented Waterston...Result!
What scene is this??
Maggie Dufresne scene 3, page 21

Anthony March same but I’m doing it as an audition to get into drama class and the teacher edited the script because it’s a monologue so it has to make sense without his mothers input

@Legolas1954 You obviously don't know a youtube troll when you see one...
tom is not selfish amanda is
Sam Waterston.
El Diablo? My tantrems are mild compared to this.
That woman's voice -_________________-
he is like kramer from seinfeld...
Anyone need assignment help?
how can you misinterpret it??
so sad
If I Was Katharine Hepburn I Should Slap That Boy For Slapping Katharine Hepburn and Broke The Glass
@coldpleh me too! i hated malkovich's version of tom
amanda seems funnier in the play
That is one gay looking bathrobe I have to say

Katherine Hepburn looked like a bony old scarecrow in this
Love Katherine , but hate her in this role. She makes me cringe . And I can see the work.
Proof how great an actress she is.....she's supposed to make you cringe.
Replace Hepburn with Uta Hagen, then it might work. I mean, is there a salad to go with such ham.
the guy is terrible
she's incredible as always
i hate this movie and the play had to read it in Enlish and it sucked
Only Mae West could have been a worse choice for the role of Amanda. And Sam Waterston is a snore no matter how loudly he emotes.
Somebody Tell me please.... how in the positive hell Katherine Hepburn had a career in the movies or the theatre... she's terrible, horrible, wooden, and that GD accent. I guess it was all her affiliation with George Cukor
