Someone else said it best:
“I don’t think any actress in English-speaking cinema of this era had such a variety of love interests as Sylvia Syms. It helped that she was beautiful, of course… that she could act: it’s hard to think of a bad Sylvia Syms performance – sometimes she was miscast, but never bad. She always brought a level of intelligence to her roles along with a sense of fun. And she was highly adept playing “smouldering hot lava of emotion and sensuality under an outwardly straight-laced and sensible facade” that made her – and this is meant with nothing but the greatest respect to the recently departed – sexy as hell.”
So:
See what he meant?
