I, for one, miss plays in which characters were named Madame Zita.
Exactly. Both estimable artists. A woeful mismatch.

I mean... I'll meet that with this: I was astonished to find that when Folio did the book, they chose as illustrator... Beryl Cook.
The tension between the tenses.
Jaw drops open.
The book, alongside Loitering With Intent, is a towering masterpiece. The most important thing to know about the film which, as you point out, captures the plot and ideas but none of Sparkâs genius with time, is that it was initially offered not to Smith but Julie Andrews. I know.
Thank you.
