Hi Piney!

This was the movie where I first saw Cate. I had just heard she was playing Galadriel in LotR; I didn't know her and I wanted to see if I approved. It was love at first sight. O;-) It's a charming movie. I know what you mean about the 'play' feel but it did work. I agree about the mustache. They're hard to pull off.

Hiya Ray!

So this was your introduction to Cate, huh? I agree that the movie is charming. The first movie featuring Cate I ever saw was The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Considering that this is a period piece, I suppose Jeremy Northam's mustache is (borderline) acceptable. I can only think of three people who can actually pull off a mustache: Tom Selleck, Dennis Farina, and my best friend's father. Oh, and my man Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon (but ONLY as Gordon, not in real life).
