I saw Laughter and Honey together at the Theater 80 revival theater in New York City circa 1980. Tjeater 80 was at 80 St. Mark’s Place thus it’s name. I disliked both films.
According to my letterboxd account I have seen 2 Nancy Carroll movies. I see by your chart that they are both under 50 % – The Kiss Before the Mirror and Scarlet Dawn.
