"You've also just "reminded" me to re-watch my video of "The Hours", that one with Nicole Kidman in the role of V Woolf, and also stars Meryl Streep.

Come to think of it, I think I don't have a copy of "Portrait of a Marriage" but have an old video of "Orlando."

Had no idea that the movie "The Hours" had to do with V.W.; will definitely watch it without husband who has an aversion to what are loosely called here "chick flicks" here in the U.S.

I will have to search and see if I can find a video copy of "Orlando;" interestingly, "Portrait of a Marriage" was made into a TV version by the BBC [219 min / UK:55 min (4 episodes)] in the late 1980s; released in a cut version (at least in U.S. New England in 1990. I first saw the series in England and then again in the U.S. so I do know that the second version I saw was cut.

It would be wonderful if you could ever travel to England...you'd appreciate some of the gardens (and homes) of the National Trust in the southeast so much...Ellen Terry's Place and Knole as well as the two I've mentioned.

BTW from the National Trust site "Knole features as one of the lovely locations used for filming 'The Other Boleyn Girl'" arelatively new book.

My links don't work because the program the Suite uses cuts them if they are too long. I'll have to go back to my original message and see if I can do something about the links.

Cheers!
