Tay Garnett's "Mrs. Parkington" looks at the life of a family matriarch, starting from her acquaintanceship with a mine owner whom she eventually marries. Greer Garson's Academy Award-nominated performance is reason enough to watch the movie, as the character changes based on her ambience, studying every situation. It's not a masterpiece - I felt like some of the characters could've been more developed - but you have to appreciate what they put into the production. It's definitely one to see.

You may have noticed that the supporting cast includes Agnes Moorehead (Endora on "Bewitched") and Hans Conried (the voice of Snidely Whiplash on "Rocky & Bullwinkle"). Good times.
