Perhaps it's because I'm younger than some folks but every time I watch most any pre 1960s film I always find the performances so overly dramatic (melodramatic) to downright hammy - the way actors turn their head the way they stick their hands out and croon for a camera angle - I mean it just seems so unnatural and it's with virtually every movie or TV show from the era.

I mean at 1:50 of that clip TWB posted - Garland just looks silly to me. It's every movie - from Casablanca to Citizen Kane. Lines are delivered and everything always seems "acted."

Do people just look past all this or do folks in their 70s just not see it I wonder?
