In this week's Acteurist Oeuvre-view, we look at two very different Dorothy McGuire movies from 1946 that share a striking\xa0adultness:\xa0Claudia and David\xa0(directed by Walter Lang), a marital comedy that's surprisingly frank about infidelity, and\xa0Till the End of Time\xa0(directed by Edward Dmytryk), a "post-war readjustment" movie that's surprisingly frank about sexuality in general, as well as American alienation and ennui. We make our first real stab at describing the essential qualities McGuire brings to daffy ingenue and jaded older woman roles alike. And speaking of alienation and ennui, in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto we discuss another experimental narrative film by Hou Hsiao-hsien,\xa0Millennium Mambo\xa0(2001).\xa0
