BK sent me a chastising email for not acknowledging my birthday wishes. Sorry, I was in London for the past two weeks (during which my birthday fell) and came home Thursday to deal with an ice storm. Belated thanks all for your felicitations. More about London and the theatre scene anon.
Sorry, BK, for all its flaws, I love the O'Toole Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Long been a favourite of both mine and The Lovely Wife's with whom I saw it the first time. In mentioning terrific performances, you forgot Sian Phillips (then Mrs. O'Toole) as the divine Ursula Mossbank. O'Toole is one of those actors who can do little wrong for me. Other fav O'Toole's are Lion In Winter; Lawrence of Arabia; Becket; The Ruling Class; My Favourite Year; Venus.
