I don't normally rate acting because I think it is easy and most of those in soaps totally overact all the time. However, two performances that I think are definitely worth a mention are :
Gene Kelly in Anchors Aweigh - despite being mainly recognised as a dancer, I would say Gene Kelly is the best actor I've seen. A brilliant performance in this film.
Ron Moody in Oliver - needs no explanation

Mo....I`ve seen many different adaptations of Oliver, but not one of the actors could ever fill Ron Moody`s shoes. It`s not their fault - you just can`t improve perfection.
And to think that Gene Kelly was nearly turned away from Hollywood. At his first screen test the producer was overheard to say..... "Can't act. Can't sing. Balding. Can dance a little."
