Earlier, I lamented that the camera did not immediately pan Calvin's face for his instant and reflex reaction at hearing Christie's pregnancy false alarm. Turn out it was edited out. What a pity. Don't understand why it got cut out, and edited with an unnecessary, not to mention already seen flashback clip. Calvin's reflex reaction is towards the end of the original scene. How he started at hearing Christie's bombshell news, how his previous anger immediately leaves his face as another emotion replaces it (almost happy), slight relaxing of shoulders as he quietly absorbs Christie's news, and then how his eye expression wavers uncertainly as he looks away from Christie. His layered reaction is so subtlety performed. Also pity the whole argument has been edited to a shorter version -- I think the original performance is so much more explosive and effective than what has been shown to the viewers.
Again impressed by how Steven seldom flubbed his lines. At least, there very few NG video of him flubbing his lines.
