I agree, Joan Allen is a terrific actress - but the piece does nothing to show/explain/enlighten anything particular about her except that she's in alot of films - the clip from the director cuts off just as it's getting interesting - I don't understand the name of this series - "Movies for Grown-up's" - I like the title - it suggeets that it's either literally about movies or in fact MIGHT BE little movies for radio for people with maturity - meaning, vivid, creative, daring, etc. which is a nice idea. This one is rather a competently produced and pretty traditional "trac and ac" piece - alittle rushed-sounding - thus the very short clips - perhaps trying to fit into its length.
