Claire Bloom is certainly no child, but although she has just finished a triumphant season as Juliet at the Old Vic, during which she was internationally heralded as Chaplin's leading lady in "Limelight," she is not yet a really mature actress, either.
After that, there comes the stage of being referred to simply as "Bloom"; and last of all, the end of the line and the completion of the circle, she might become "Claire" again, as Tallulah is Tallulah.
Claire is still at the child-bride stage, with a decade stretching empty ahead of her.

No other play from the 19th-century continued to be performed as often as "A Doll's House." The story is of what appears to be a normal family, Torvald Helmer (Anthony Hopkins), a bank lawyer, and his wife Nora, and their three small children.
With Bloom's characterization Nora is presented as being more noble than usual; her habit of lying is played down and we get the sense she is clever and cunningly playing the game of being her husband's "doll." However, the result of this approach is less of an emotional range than I would expect with Nora.
When a woman (Claire Bloom) is confronted with a little forgery she did - - signing her husband's signature, she expects that he will stand by her.
