 | | The supporting cast is good though: Actor-director Richard Whorf -- though overdone --as the late man's unctuous secretary; Howard Da Silva, as the bitter, sullen keeper of the grounds, a veteran who had been Forrest's captain during WWI. |
 | | The attractive woman who plays Tracy's fellow reporter and rival is very appealing, tough but feminine, humorously flirtatious, "emancipated," cynical - a character not uncommon then but one that has almost disappeared from movies today, perhaps for PC reasons of sexism, feminism and the like. |
 | | Forrest senior, the old, insane mother, looks familiar, it's because she is played by English-born actress Margaret Wycherly who, in the 1949 WHITE HEAT, was so extraordinarily effective as the mother of killer James Cagney. |
