Excellent performance.
Peggy Cass however didn't even remotely deserve her Oscar nomination. It is a performance so irritating that it is difficult to even watch.
Yes, Peggy Cass’s nomination seems ridiculous out of context. Apparently she was a hugely popular TV star in the day, so I guess her nomination was popular at the time, but it’s a silly and lame performance viewed today.
However your comment reminded me of Coral Browne, whom I think is terrific in the film, a great sidekick for Russell. I’ve added her to my list.
She would have been far more deserving.
