The images alone are sufficient to tell the story and the actors comment on what is happening with deliberately stilted dialogue that only serves to emphasise its own redundancy. However to the modern viewer it looks more like a Harold Pinter play adapted for the big screen by Ed Wood.Andrew Zalotockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674409759741374623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-85886465172912974912016-10-08T15:47:21.009-07:002016-10-08T15:47:21.009-07:00Now that my fingertips are pointy, I will know how...Now that my fingertips are pointy, I will know how to dress for Halloween. <br /><br />(Seriously, I remember reading in some old mystery book how the "practical" girl had the square fingertips, and the "beautiful but flighty" girl had tapered fingertips.

He provided a good transition from George IV's reign to Victoria's, but was his own man, even if history's rather forgotten him.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-50303707709994661112016-10-07T11:42:55.733-07:002016-10-07T11:42:55.733-07:00Those photographs of rural Switzerland are pricele...Those photographs of rural Switzerland are priceless, literally.
