Good heavens feisty foxy one! I barely get to 'see' you these days - wonder what's keeping you logging onto Sajha. Thanks for the update. Yeah, Hepburn tops my list too. She's lovely in My Fair Lady - I'm sure, Bernard Shaw would've endorsed her performance fully. Also love those based on the Hemingway novels - A fairwell to Arms, To Have and Have Not, For Whom the Bell Tolls etc. Bogart, Grant, Bergman, Lauren Bacal et al are among my favs. About the new ones.. yes, the BBC production of the Austen classic has got to be one of my all time favs, not least because the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle combination brings out very the core of an outstanding acting/performance - one of the best that I have seen in British dramas, and most memorable too. Okay, then there's this pond scene with Firth that you lot love talking about - tell me if I'm wrong! Sexy, sexy eh! :) Another of the BBC ones is the adaptation of the Thackeray novel - Vanity Fair. Mira Nair has also made a film which I have yet to see. Oh, I like Kidman too. My fav would be 'The Portrait of a Lady', based the Henry James novel. Really moving. Haven't seen the Kubrik film - Eyes Wide Shut. Seen it? Any good? What else - oh, I remember she was in London a few years back, playing in a West End production of the David Hare play 'Blue Room'. She played naked in some of the scenes in the play. No wonder it was all fully booked out throughout the period they ran it. And I missed it.. grrrrr... Didn't miss Jerry Hall (Mick Jagger's ex-wife) do the same though in Graduate, another West End production of the Terry Johnson play. You must have seen the film with Dustin Hoffman - marvellous. Forgot to list Woody Allen films above: Annie Hall, Manhattan, Deconstructing Harry, Everybody says I love you etc... I can never get enough of Woody Allen films.. Okay too much woffling but more to follow in due course. I better shoot off. G'nite *************** PS: Where's the good ol Dannyboy these days? Sheess... dyaam.. :)
