 
FIVE FINGER EXERCISE (1962)
Rosalind Russell, Jack Hawkins, Richard Beymer, Maximilian Schell, Annette Gorman, Lana Wood. Directed by: Daniel Mann  cE9s4PtIBKBRQ72i0fDw~~60_12.JPG)       
A girl named Annette Gorman plays the daughter. Miss Wood has a tiny role of one of the two girls on the beach in a few insignificant scenes. Sadly most of the punch of the original play about an English family is left at as some of the other reviews imply. It is a strange mishmash to have a British father and an American mother as they keep trying to explain to us the audience. Shoulda stuck with the original British family but it was produced by the husband of Miss Russell and so she being very American they changed it to a great disadvantage to suit her. Still Miss Russell is a formidable talent and does everything she can to make it an Oscar winning performance in my opinion, that elusive statute that she never did win though two or three nominations. This was not one of them though.
