José Ferrer

José Ferrer won the 1950 Best Actor Oscar for this film. What did you think of his performance? Would this performance win today, or does the Academy look for different things now than they did then?

Ferrer beat Spencer Tracy (Father of the Bride), Jimmy Stewart (Harvey), Louis Calhern (The Magnificent Yankee), and William Holden (Sunset Blvd.) for the award. Did he deserve to win over those performances? (I've only seen one of the others, but I'm guessing some of you have seen others.)
