Elizabeth Scott defends film act
ing against the sneers of Broadway.
"A screen actress has to be better
than stage actress she remarked
on the ''Too Late for Tears" set. "On
the stage, your characterization can
be broader; on film, you must be
subtle. A sweeping gesture won't do
on the screen; everything has to be
in your eyes.
"You have to be more alert in film
work. On the stage, you have four
weeks Of rehearsal and at least four
weeks of tryouts on the road before
you hit Broadway. In Hollywood,
you have 10 days to look at the
script and then about 20 days of
shooting"
