I'm looking at DR Elmore's list and I'm spotting The Innocents and it's occurred to me that I've never seen or read the stage version. Has anyone here seen this play performed and was it as effective as the film?
DRDTM, THE INNOCENTS is a play by William Archibald, and I think it's quite good. Beatrice Straight, I believe, was the original Governess, and it was redone on Broadway in the 1970s with Claire Bloom, Sarah Jessica Parker as Flora and direction by Harold Pinter. Truman Capote adapted the play for the screenplay.
I can't believe I forgot INHERIT THE WIND, LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, and THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER earlier!
There was a blind item in today's Page Six of the NY POST that seemed to confirm BK's gossip from last night:
July 5, 2005 -- WHICH newlywed husband of a TV personality dropped her off at an award show, then went on a tour of gay bars in L.A.? What he didn't realize was that the limo driver had to keep a list of every stop — and that when network execs got the limo bill, the list "looked like a Yellow Page ad of gay bars" . . .
WHICH leading man landed his fiancée by giving her a five-year contract for $10 million? Now, she's giving an Oscar-worthy performance acting as if she's really in love with him . . .
I'm still pondering the first item!
