: After a glass of wine to mull it over:
: Well, her performance was a little stilted in the opening scenes in Venice and inside the library, but she warmed to her role once lowered into the catacombs. Could be she took some time to gloss the Austrian accent over some Gaelic lilt. Stripping off the jacket inside the knight's crypt was a strategic move by Spielberg, the closest to a wet t-shirt shot in one of his pictures we're going to see.
: Her shriek when Indy surprised her in the apartment bathroom was effective (and affective) and curiously touching, and one could subsequently admire every detail of her complexion as her two-story face and VW Bug-sized lips bit down on Ford's ear.
: Ms. Doody wore Ford's fedora with a jaunty cachet in the first castle scene, gifting her with a cute tomboyishness not formerly seen in the film. This (and the leather) was quickly discarded once Indy was captured, however, and it was back to silk stockings and heels for our double-crossing fraulein!
: Soon she was glimpsed in a chic desert affair, and the emphasis on khaki brought out the bluest hues in her ten-foot high eyes. These glinted in the fierce sun, as the sweat dripped from her brow and onto Denholm Elliot's trouser leg as they rode towards the grail lair.
: Once inside the cave, Ms. Doody's formerly immaculate hairdo began to unweave with the humidity and shock of watching Walter "Wally the Coyote" Donovan shrivel into putrefaction.
: Ms. Doody appeared especially radiant in the FX light of the grail when she held it close and begged Indy to flee with her. Unfortunately, fate and too loose gloves got the best of Ms. Doody, and she was unable to join Indy for the film's wrap. Ms. Doody's gloves were produced from the finest quality black lambskin, and, while apparently a half size too large and not quite fitting like a glove, did effectively heighten the tension of her dangle from Mr. Ford's hands. Mr. Ford was heard to exclaim afterwards, "If the glove don't fit, then you MUST fall into the pit!"
: Ms. Doody was unavailable for comment.
