I highly recommend it, Rex Harrison is good in it and Margaret Rutherford (spelling?) is absolutely amazing.

I think he was a commanding presence on-screen, but I really haven't seen enough of his movies to feel comfortable making any judgment about this acting skills. Of course, silent-screen acting was a bit different.

Well she seems more alive in that photo than in many of the movies I've seen her in

(all due on 10/28). I wonder whether the re-issue of *Christmas in Connecticut* will have any new bonus features, I watch it almost every year but haven't bought it yet. And I sure would like to have a copy, you know, to go with my new DVD of *Holiday Inn*

trapazoid or trapezoid? Well, what comes to mind is the "Phantom Zone" so I'll say *Superman* nw: unintelligible

*Sweeney Todd: The Barber of Fleet Street* nw: cavernous

One of my favorites is the romantic comedy *Blithe Spirit*, have you seen that Miss G?

You make it pretty tempting for me to Rickroll you, but I'm far too polite to do that to you.

And to paraphrase *Lawrence of Arabia* - those who tell lies are merely hiding the truth. Those who tell half-lies have forgotten where they put it.

That's more or less what I'd understood as well. I can see why company concerns might not make this a very easy proposition for a corporate entity, but maybe some website that's not associated with TCM might be willing to host such a space. Think Thelma should try someone at the Silver Screen Oasis?

He was a very commanding presence on-screen, as well!

I'm thinking of catching up with that (BBC?) series, now that there's a feature-length movie out. The series is still supposed to be the better adaptation. So which Brit musician from the 80's did you like best?

I loved the Dramatic Cat. Trained cats couldn't have performed better on that music cue.

I don't have any idea what colour might be in your mind. But, at any rate, let's hope that the BR version will have all of the extras that were already in the other one.

*Ice Age* nw: pneumatic

Awwwwww that kitten is soooooo adooooorable :x Love those ears, too

Didn't Cary Grant look totally ancient when he was in his mid- or late-60's?
