My Take
Ann Todd belongs to an era of British cinema I keep returning to. Her breakout in The Seventh Veil in 1945 made her an international name, and her run with David Lean, whom she married, produced some of the era's most elegant melodrama in The Passionate Friends, Madeleine and The Sound Barrier. What draws me is the poise she carried, that composed, slightly unknowable screen presence the great mid-century actresses had. An Old Vic alumna who reached Broadway, she was a serious craftswoman, not just a star, and I find her quiet authority quietly captivating.
