ULIA (1977) with Jane Fonda, Max Schell and Jason Robards Vanessa Redgrave's performance shines in a film filled with great performances. Set in the 1930's the themes of anti-fascism, friendship, art and theater are blended in a perfect film. It's unique in capturing the plight of a writer, Lillian Hellman, as she struggles with her first play. We see Hellman walking on the beach and in the background the turbulent ocean waves are churning like the thoughts in her head. Brilliant shot. The story of Hellman's friendship with Julia/Redgrave and love affair with Dashiell Hammett. The apogee is the tense scene between Hellman and Julia in a German tavern as Hellman smuggles in cash for anti-Nazi activities, and while Fonda is excellent, Fonda herself said Redgrave's performance was on an entirely elevated level. The only other actor who achieved that, Fonda said, was Marlon Brando.
