Woodward is fine in the Newman-directed Rachel Rachel and as the victim of Newman's quiet haute bourgeois suppression in Mr. and Mrs. Bridge.

Judging Woodward, a fine actor, is hard because she paid as much if not more attention to raising kids.

Mr. and Mrs. Bridge is one that has interested me — maybe because it’s one of her few high profile roles that came out while I have been a moviegoing adult.

And yeah, this series very much portrays the imbalance in the relationship when it came to taking care of the kids. Tho to Newman’s credit he used his clout to make a lot of movies with her.

I dunno, The Wicker Man is pretty widely regarded as a classic. I can't actually think of any other movies he was in, so in terms of percentages he's up there with John Cazale.

Hang on. There was Breaker....

Ah, sorry. I'll get my coat.

lol I have in fact seen more Edward Woodward movies than Joanne Woodward movies ...

One of the best, most underappreciated actors of his generation. The reactions itt to his death at the time are striking.

The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds,one of the many she did produced and directed by Newman (their daughter Nell Potts is also real good in that).

A favorite of the Cahiers du Cinema critics in the 1970s. Eli Wallach's daughter is also good in it.
