In my opinion, Geraldine Page was the greatest American Actress in the 20th Century. I believe that had she not spent much of her time on the New York Stage, she would have won several more Oscars, but was considered somewhat a Hollywood outsider.
She should have won for Summer and Smoke, and Sweet Bird of Youth. She carried these movies by her great acting skills and hard work.
All of her movies need to be on DVD. It is particularly surprising to me that Summer and Smoke has not been converted to DVD.
Does anyone know if any of her Stage Plays have been captured on video, and if so, where such videos could be obtained?
