After doing my cleaning chore of the day, I settled in with the DVD of A DELICATE BALANCE. None of the American Film Theatre DVDs is particularly sterling looking (even though they are anamorphic transfers), but I'm still glad to have this. I've always liked the play and think Paul Scofield is just wonderful in this. Katharine Hepburn's performance is a bit too flowery for my taste. I would rather have seen someone like Jean Simmons or Teresa Wright or Kim Hunter do Agnes in the film. Hepburn, of course, was a much bigger film star than any of them at that point, so I'm not surprised they went with her.
