This was a participative movie in the emergence of the exciting new process called “method” acting. Many of the young generation in the film are alumni of the New York Studio where method had its birth and included Marylin Monroe and Marlon Brando among its students.

Interesting to watch the old style traditional Hollywood stars like Gary Cooper interacting with these younger troupers. I would say that these old stars implemented method techniques instinctively from necessity into their performances and it seems to work here in what is a rather laborious script
