Murder on a Honeymoon
A narrow valley that is full of a flower that is white and yellow? (And although is does not have much to do with vehicles, per se, one might still say it belongs to the Otto Club)

I tried watching this years ago and remembering giving up almost immediately. Derek Jacobi sitting alone in an inn or something and he does this monologue, expressing some sort of wonderment about his own bizarre behavior or something. I soon got the impression that he was coming across not as a character in a story but as an actor doing an audition. A little later a group of people are sitting at a large dining table. There is some early conversation and then the camera goes to this woman and she starts doing the same thing. Suddenly we are made to forget that there is anyone else present but her and she goes into this long monologue, overacting like heck, as if she is doing an audition for a part. It was so profoundly unrealistic. I thought, so what is this, the actors are going to take turns doing their little bits? Maybe that's not the way it was at all, I'll be honest, I didn't see enough to know or even really to comment much at all and I feel a little sheepish writing even this slight impression. *Skimpole*, you at least watched it and wrote a fine paragraph, you sound like you know your Dickens (Did you name yourself after that scamp in Bleak House ?) I don't doubt anything you wrote and if true, then the absence of all those fundamental Dickensian elements renders the production a slow burn. I won't take any credit because I didn't even bother to watch it but your brief but cogent analysis almost vindicates my discomfort with this Little Dorrit. laffite

Joe Clay couldn't walk past one in DOWAR Marsha Mason had one hanging up in the apartment but Richard Dreyfuss took care of that---he took it down in GBG Charles was alarming with it in the church in that early movie with Maureen How would this sound if you said it with a bad cold, "Come and _____ It." Last syllable of that famous modifier in the famous title in that famous movie with Humphrey, Sidney, Peter, and Mary.

He'll always be remembered. If you ever suspect you have forgotten him, just walk into a supermarket. There are pictures of him in there.
If you lay off salad dressings, pasta sauces, cookies (etc.), and the image fades from memory, then there are always the movies.
For instance, The Verdict. After being Bricks, Huds, and Lukes for so many years, Frank Galvin is almost a tour-de-force in going against type. Paul Newman will be remembered as the cool one but he was the uncool in this one and was positively brilliant.

>In all fairness, there was a lot of discussion on these boards about the Manson gang a couple months ago, so this story seems to be a necessary follow-up.
Why not find the thread where this was discussed and post the article there? That would give the article context relative to the forum and at the same time cut down on unnecessary clutter.
And FWIW, some forums prohibit copying whole articles due to copyrite issues, even if there is proper attribution. They therefore require only a small portion of the article be copied and then a link provided for anyone who wants to read more. If these other sites are correct, said issues might come to bear on other forums as well, including this one.
