I am knee-deep in The Madwoman of Chaillot, and I'm happy to see Giulietta speaking something that passes for English, but otherwise Richard Chamberlain, Donald Pleasence, Yul Brynner, poor John Gavin, and god help us all Danny Kaye are competing for the Horrible Acting Laurels. I'm expecting a tie.
I played Gabrielle in college.
That's a lotta ham on wood, male actor-wise.
That first sentence may be the gayest sentence I've ever read in my nearly 60 years on this planet, and all I can say is, I salute you, sir!
