Interesting mannerisms. I liked her in "Up the Down Staircase" and I think she played the teacher in "Carrie", or maybe she was the teacher in Bob Balaban's weird film "Parents" about a typical Baby Boom era suburban family, "Leave it to Beaver" style, and their one son who suspects his parents are cannibals. They were definitely odd. Sexual and obsessed with eating meat, a mysterious meat.... one that was...anyway, she's 20 years older but still an interesting performance.
In six days, it will have been 18 years since Sandy passed away. She was one of the most talented -- and certainly THE most original -- actress that I know of.
Always liked Sandy Dennis. I've worked as an actor, and feel I'm a good actor, but always was hit and miss in auditions. In this screen test, Dennis nailed it. She didn't miss a moment
Sandy Dennis and Geraldine Page, the quirkiest two actresses ever -- but both were GREAT; you could never look away when either was on screen. Alas Sandy died too soon. 1/2018
Attractive too. The lighting and the set looks like it was from a Doris Day-Rock Hudson type film. I wonder how Roddy McDowall would've been in the Segal part. Not as smarmy but probably just as smug. Wexler was an excellent set designer, I am assuming he's the Wexler referred to in the shot labels.
God I loved her acting. Sandy Dennis is just as fascinating doing this "dance like the wind" scene here as she was in the movie. Different interpretations but both in the same character.
When she played one of Natalie Wood's high school girlfriends in the movie Splendor in the Grass, her unique fragile quality and screen presence jumped out at me even then.
Sandy Dennis was an outstanding actress! She did an incredible job with this character. I have always enjoyed her movies. This is an all time favorite of mine too!
I love Sandy Dennis. She is my most treasured actress. I miss her originality and presence. WAVW and everything that Sandy is in are my favorites. I wish she was still here with us. I would love to meet her.
haven't you read the original play? Her character, Honey was supposed to be a frail, meek, silly, dumb and kind of an airhead type of character. Sandy Dennis did more than just play the role okay. She made Honey really come into life with all of those stutters and tics and eccentric behavior on screen. Man, do some actual reading and research before downplaying on someone's ability. p.s she also won the best supporting actress oscar for the role
@@NewsHistorian to paraphrase Mike Nichols, Honey required a comedic actress who could annoy the audience without alienating them, so they feel protective of her when she is attacked. Mission accomplished, I’d say. Regardless of whether or not Sandy did similar things in other performances, she was perfect for this role and nailed it.
I’m embarrassed to say I’m not too familiar with her works. I searched her name to see what else she’s done out of curiosity because The Out of Towners was one of my favorite movies growing up. I’d just watched it online after searching everywhere for it. By these scenes alone, it’s obvious she was a brilliant actress. Looks like I have some movies I need to catch up on. What a great surprise!
Thank you for posting this! This is brilliant.Sandy was a wonderful actress. I have the same manager as she did, who was also her friend. He gave me her beautiful orange calcite ball that she owned and loved because I thought she was great. It means a lot to me.
I have such a crush on her it’s ridiculous,I collect all her movies up the down staircase and That Cold Day in the Park are two of my faves. Edit ,she left us too soon .
Very interesting. Being one of my favorite movies and practically knowing the play line for line, I'd love to see George Segal's screen test for this. I think Roddy was testing for the part too, rather than just helping out with the lines. Liz and Burton of course had the part before the ink was dry on Mike Nichols' contract.
So they were screen-testing Roddy McDowall for the part of Nick? I didn't know that. It's hard to visualize anyone except the original cast doing this. I think Virginia Woolfe is one of those icons that will never be remade because some movies just cannot be redone successfully. Most people who love this play don't just watch the film they osmosize it; I know I do. I know every line and nuance of it so it's a rare treat to see the screen tests. Wish we had George Segal's. Of course Burton and Taylor were never tested. The parts were theirs from the get-go.
@@DTD110865 melinda dillon originated the role on broadway. edward albee was not a fan of the film. there have been four broadway revivals since the original production, all successful, and a fifth on the way . . . great plays attract great actors and great directors forever . . .
I don’t know if Segal ever screen-tested. Dennis was the only one of the cast Nichols didn’t know personally, whereas he’d worked with Segal on stage a time or two. Also, I don’t think McDowell was actually testing. He’s clearly just there to support Dennis, and I imagine did it as a favor to Elizabeth Taylor; they were good friends.
. . ., even w/o seeing him in the first few seconds you know it's Roddy with his "I don't...," he imprints his image in his voice. I can see how they paired his repression with her need for expression. An all to common fatal attraction.
I just think it’s interesting this was shot widescreen with anamorphic lenses while the actual movie was done with spherical lenses. I wonder if this is also Haskell Wexler’s work? It beautiful, def taking some screen grabs of this for a project I wanna do lol
but, she won two tonys and an oscar, and worked steadily from age 19 through to the end of her life -- and with top artists in her profession -- how can that be interpreted as "underrated" -- let alone "painfully underrated"?
Being awarded doesn’t necessarily preclude an actor from being underrated. Dianne Wiest has two Oscars and two Emmys but still struggles to find roles and is hardly a household name.
Connie Stevens, who was under contract to Warner Bros. at the time, enthusiastically lobbied for this part. A perverse part of me wants to see her try it : o
I find her more effective here in the screen test than she was in the film. I find that in the film she comes off as mannered and finally inconsequential. here she has a kind of centered seriousness, -a gravitas, if you will, that was badly needed in her characterization in the film.
Wrong. She was better in the film. Remember she was up against Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. If she had played her role as she did in the screen tests, she would have been swallowed up alive in the movie and forgotten. Anyway, she did have some very subtle moments, particularly at the beginning of the movie. She definitely had a wide range of acting chops.
@@karllieck9064 Exactly. She would have drowned in the Burton-Taylor intensity had she played the somewhat demure character in these screen tests. The finished film is spectacular.
I saw this movie as a young student in the mid 60s. Sandy made me feel so irritated and uncomfortable. I later realized why. I learned to love and respect he. Then she was gone. I was so disappointed to learn of her death. I wish I could have known her when we both were in our early years and later.
Her interpretive changes are very interesting. Some things can be done in many different ways. How one reads a line can make all the difference in the world.
Pamela Tifflin was the only other actress who read for the part. Connie Stevens BEGGED Warner, but to no avail. Melinda Dillon (Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, A Christmas Story), who created Honey in the Broadway stage version, wasn't asked to read. After this screen test and Elizabeth Taylor's approval, she was cast. Robert Redford turned down Nick (WHY?!) Jack Lemmon accepted the role of George and recanted the next day. Burton thought he wasn't suitable for the part and only saw it as Liz's second Oscar. She talked him into it (and $750,000.) Lehmann and Albee both wanted Bette Davis and James Mason but knew they needed box-office power. Only Ms. Taylor had extensive film work on her resume, and all three said they learned a career's worth of screen acting just watching her. Taylor asked Dennis if she was intimidated by her, and Sandy replied, "No, not at all. I'm HONORED, but should I be wary of you?" Richard Burton said, "Only if you annoy her." They all burst out laughing, and Mike Nichols (in his film directing DEBUT!) said it was a once-in-a-lifetime dream come true. Technically, he was paranoid that everything, the lighting, stage, make-up, wardrobe, was wrong. But the cast was "beyond perfection." Burton said Nichols was a passive-aggressive genius, discouraging what he DID want to provoke them into doing just that. Taylor said no director conveyed what he wanted in so few words. The only thing he demanded was EXACT adherence to the script, no improvisation. Segal made Burton jealous, prompting Taylor to say, "We'll that settles THAT!" Their dancing scene allegedly made everyone uncomfortable because (as the film clearly shows) they ground right into one another physically, oblivious to the crew and cast watching. Burton's "It's a familiar dance; they both know it well" is particularly pointed. He later said that his cruel game of "Get The Guests" was much nastier than he intended for that reason. And when he chokes Martha, he admitted he went overboard. Taylor was stunned that he was actually strangling her. "Murderer" was in the script, but there was no cut; she stayed in character, stunned. Nichols later said that when Martha declared "TOTAL war," he feared she'd gun Burton him down with the car. I believe it!
Although Roddy McDowall gives a very good screen test and delivers his lines convincingly, he would have been woefully miscast. He simply did not have the strong sexuality the part demanded; it is essential to the play that Honey and her husband contrast one another. Honey is plain looking while her husband is a bit of an Adonis.
Where did you get the footage from? That is the Director prompting her in the back or the opposing actor. That wheel counter at the start is a trip at 2 seconds
Connie Stevens a big star at Warner brithers wanted to test for this part but the producer and director refused to allow Connie to test. Connie had a petition of many supporting her request. I think connie should have been given the chance to test. Years later mike Nichols directed postcards from the edge guess whose mansion Columbia rented? Yep Connie Stevens!
Was Roddy McDowell being considered for the role of Nick in the film? I just don't think that would have worked well. Although McDowell had done some dramatic parts in films he was known primarily as a character actor and for his work in satirical comedies such as The Loved One and Lord Love a Duck.
This woman was such an amazing actress. I never got tired of watching her, she made her characters so intriguing. She never looked like she was acting, her concentration and her focus always appeared so real. It's fascinating how the finished film is so completely different than these tests, especially the tone... the pacing is so much slower.
It's Beethoven, symphony no. 7, second movement, the allegretto. But I also had a flash of Russian from it--though Tchaikovsky superceded all the other Russian composers.
Honey is crazier than Martha . George would def have left this one !Amazing what she does.She makes it out there way out there but believable .Childish but totally A woman. This is how we feel sorry for her she is not forceful like Taylor's Martha and thats why we care more for Martha !
This is probably the best film adaptation of an American play (or, 1962's "Long Day's Journey Into Night"). Taylor, Burton and Segal's performances are excellent. Dennis's performance stands out, but not in a good way. She's entertaining but her acting is riddled with tics and stutters and in much contrast to her co-stars' naturalism and deeper understanding of their characters
Pauly69s omg, the first time I saw The Out of Towers it was on TV; I was a teenager, watching with mymparents. We laughed until we were crying. Jack Lemon was my Dad's favorite actor. Great movie, and great acting by both of them.
Her ability to act changing emotion after emotion is of stellar quality and seamless. Truly one of the greatest actresses of all time!
One of the greatest American actresses ever. Painfully underrated.
Born too soon....had she been acting now, it would have been different.
Interesting mannerisms. I liked her in "Up the Down Staircase" and I think she played the teacher in "Carrie", or maybe she was the teacher in Bob Balaban's weird film "Parents" about a typical Baby Boom era suburban family, "Leave it to Beaver" style, and their one son who suspects his parents are cannibals. They were definitely odd. Sexual and obsessed with eating meat, a mysterious meat....

Absolutely,,she had such presence. Love her.
Non so..e' l'attrice piu' indecifrabile della storia del cinema♥️
@@ivancervi1825 She was so talented
In six days, it will have been 18 years since Sandy passed away.
She was one of the most talented -- and certainly THE most original -- actress that I know of.
Now it's 31 years and I still love her movies,, we studied her in my acting class,, she definitely was one of a kind❤
One of the best screen tests I’ve ever seen. She deserves an Oscar just for this test. No one will ever duplicate Honey as this good again
wholeheartedly agree
Sandy, was terrific in this role. A well deserved Oscar performance.
Gone too soon.
Always liked Sandy Dennis. I've worked as an actor, and feel I'm a good actor, but always was hit and miss in auditions. In this screen test, Dennis nailed it. She didn't miss a moment
Sandy Dennis and Geraldine Page, the quirkiest two actresses ever -- but both were GREAT; you could never look away when either was on screen. Alas Sandy died too soon. 1/2018
I think Sandy was a wonderful actress. She was brilliant in the screen test.
Attractive too. The lighting and the set looks like it was from a Doris Day-Rock Hudson type film. I wonder how Roddy McDowall would've been in the Segal part. Not as smarmy but probably just as smug. Wexler was an excellent set designer, I am assuming he's the Wexler referred to in the shot labels.
God I loved her acting. Sandy Dennis is just as fascinating doing this "dance like the wind" scene here as she was in the movie. Different interpretations but both in the same character.
She was brilliant in this film. Head-to-head with Elizabeth Taylor? Insane
I liked her in the movie Up the down staircase.... about a high school teacher in the inner city!
Gattopardo Di Lampeduza I read that book many times and loved it, so I had expectations for the movie...and Sandy Dennis was perfect for the part!
Just finished watching this movie was blown away by everyone's performance Dennis is was amazing loved her in out of towners and wolf pretty too
When she played one of Natalie Wood's high school girlfriends in the movie Splendor in the Grass, her unique fragile quality and screen presence jumped out at me even then.
I'm glad Sandy delievered her lines with more mousiness, volume and enthusiasm in the movie. I never knew someone could throw up like that. Lo!
Shes was really great. See her in Woody Allen's "Another Woman". She has a small but powerful role, and really gives a great performance.
thenaturalboxer I will . I never knew she appeared in a Woody Allen movie.
You should have been the actress.
Hey, HEY... look at me once in a while. Im your wife, not her.
Sandy Dennis was an outstanding actress! She did an incredible job with this character. I have always enjoyed her movies. This is an all time favorite of mine too!

STOLE EVERY SCENE SHE IN
AMAZING LADY
Unique and original actress . They unfortunately don't make them like Sandy anymore.. Hollywood sucks
One of those gifted talents that can transmit any range of emotions without saying a word. Mesmerizing.
The sense of vulnerability is even more marked seeing her act her scenes in a void.
Thank you for posting this! This is brilliant.Sandy was a wonderful actress. I have the same manager as she did, who was also her friend. He gave me her beautiful orange calcite ball that she owned and loved because I thought she was great. It means a lot to me.

She was definitely the best thing about this movie for me.
uh, this is a BIG deal that we can all see this. thank you so, so much.

She was certainly greatly underappreciated by many in America. The mainstream truly is the lame stream.
The word, "underrated" is real popular in today's culture. It will pass. Pay no mind to the people who overuse the word.
wow, she's really good. This was really interesting.
I would have loved loved to have lived Roddy McDowall's life.

thanks, i miss her
Beethoven's 7th, 2nd. mvt. ... A favorite of mine. Sandy rules of course.
violence!! violence!!
BEST ACTRESS OF EM ALL
I recall sandy in splendor in the grass.
Captivating.
The screen test looks BETTER than the movie...that's why one of the MOST important people on the set is the Cinematographer... quality lenser!!
the man in the test with Ms. Dennis is, indeed, Roddy McDowell. George Segal played the role in the released film.
Interesting that Roddy McDowall worked with her on the screen test. He was one of Elizabeth Taylor's best friends.
It must have been very stressful to screen test this, knowing full well that getting the part depended upon this test. I loved the movie.
Her interpretive changes are very interesting. Some things can be done in many different ways. How one reads a line can make all the difference in the world.
@ Victor Talking Machine, Oh yes.
I could swear these whole scenes were completely re-written.
One of a kind.
talent that is all
Hello 9 years..
i think had she lived a bit longer, she'd have been rediscovered and celebrated... like what occurred with Ellen Burstyn.
I think that's Roddy McDowell isnt it?
Yeah shes got some chops
Does anybody know which other actresses were considered for this role?

I believe it!
Although Roddy McDowall gives a very good screen test and delivers his lines convincingly, he would have been woefully miscast. He simply did not have the strong sexuality the part demanded; it is essential to the play that Honey and her husband contrast one another. Honey is plain looking while her husband is a bit of an Adonis.
Zoltan Korda well you know Roddy was a closeted Homosexual!
George Segal was perfect.
Where did you get the footage from? That is the Director prompting her in the back or the opposing actor. That wheel counter at the start is a trip at 2 seconds
Why is this screen test so different from what ended up in the movie? Does anyone know? Thanks.
I wonder why Roddy McDowell is in these tests but not in the final movie ?
Connie Stevens a big star at Warner brithers wanted to test for this part but the producer and director refused to allow Connie to test. Connie had a petition of many supporting her request. I think connie should have been given the chance to test. Years later mike Nichols directed postcards from the edge guess whose mansion Columbia rented? Yep Connie Stevens!
She was sexy to in her own way. Excellent in The out of Towners with Jack Lemon. That's Roddy McDowall in the scene with her

Although McDowell had done some dramatic parts in films he was known primarily as a character actor and for his work in satirical comedies such as The Loved One and Lord Love a Duck.

bells...bells!!
Is that Roddy MacDowell?

She never looked like she was acting, her concentration and her focus always appeared so real. It's fascinating how the finished film is so completely different than these tests, especially the tone... the pacing is so much slower.
Anybody know the piece of music she dances too is it Tchaikovsky ?
I love that music
It's Beethoven, symphony no. 7, second movement, the allegretto. But I also had a flash of Russian from it--though Tchaikovsky superceded all the other Russian composers.
Fanastic
Roddy as Nick playing Beethoven's 7th. Sandy is a bit too over the top here.
Honey is crazier than Martha . George would def have left this one !Amazing what she does.She makes it out there way out there but believable .Childish but totally A woman. This is how we feel sorry for her she is not forceful like Taylor's Martha and thats why we care more for Martha !
More subtle here than in the movie. Nichols tilted her toward caricature.
Gary Morris No, it's just that her characterization is fleshed out in the context of the movie which couldn't be that subtle.
Nobody does drunk like she
Roddy McDowell?
This is simply astonishing... (and it's McDowall.. not McDowell).
roddy mcdowall is NOT nick, its George Segal just some correct info
is that Roddy?
Sandy , Must Be About 22 or 23 years old , in this movie .
She would have been 29 in 1966.
The movie was exhausting to watch
how the fuck did you find this? Thank you xxx
This is probably the best film adaptation of an American play (or, 1962's "Long Day's Journey Into Night"). Taylor, Burton and Segal's performances are excellent. Dennis's performance stands out, but not in a good way.
