It's charming, not black comedy as one thinks of Harold and Maude as black comedy! I saw it on a double bill with Children of Paradise and I remember falling in love with Arletty.... mmm, maybe it's time for a revisit of L'enfants du Paradise.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-71797646370513052872010-11-23T15:14:52.630-06:002010-11-23T15:14:52.630-06:00Hi Leslie:

I haven't seen King of Hearts, but I'll add it to the Netflix queue.

Naturally, I think of American films made during the Vietnam era, like MASH and Catch-22, Oh, and a non-American film: King of Hearts, which I adored when it first came out -- but when I saw it again, as an adult, the terrible creakiness of the thing was almost unendurable. Maybe if I live into my 80s and watch it again, I'll re-appreciate it?Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518653385548971549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-50010916380285038952010-11-18T22:08:59.922-06:002010-11-18T22:08:59.922-06:00Hancock.Hancock.Jennythenipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570881559181199994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-14560780383185742452010-11-18T21:53:54.220-06:002010-11-18T21:53:54.220-06:00Jenny,

I was wondering what this was about, even ...Arnie! I was wondering what this was about, even as I read through the pdf. I confess I had to cheat and go back to your Arniegram to remember that "the great Chatham" was Pitt the Elder! <br /><br />The movie opens with Pitt the Elder's famous speech about the unjustness of occupying the American colonies. <br /><br />So I wonder why it was that the Young Mr. Pitt who began his speech opposing Fox, and supporting Warren Hastings, suddenly changed horses mid stream. Speculation? I don't know, but I'm now imagining the speech (as sadly it's not in the movie) with Robert Donat as Pitt and Robert Morley as Fox. As our mutual friend, Deborah says it's so much easier to get through history when you have contemporary (and dishy) actors there to help you remember what they look like. <br /><br />My next blog post will have a more overt Austen connection.Jennythenipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570881559181199994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-84736697993356481892010-11-18T06:55:31.990-06:002010-11-18T06:55:31.990-06:00Look at the THIRD charade in the following link:
