All of them were accomplished comediennes but I can't believe any would have been able to top Roz's work. I didn't love Dragon Tattoo but Craig was very good in it. Morning Glory is a bit of fluff but Ford has always been strong in comedy and he and Diane Keaton more or less walk off with the film.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847155578608673190.post-5274447618319178152015-09-18T00:45:56.157+08:002015-09-18T00:45:56.157+08:00Oh you made me want to check out Morning Glory.

The Swedish version is beautifully shot and shows great restraint while Fincher's is more unnerving and menacing. Either one would be a great pick.
