Grusha's simple faith and love, her fury at injustice, and her durability are portrayed with a passion so full that they always almost border on the stupid. Miss Ziskind miraculously keeps them on the right side of the line. A good performance would not have been good enough; Miss Ziskind's is magnificent...
