Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I think it's the funniest moment in the film. When the child looks back at his mother with a bemused look, meaning 'of course there are two lobsters! Didn't they teach you anything at school?' and then the classic 'D'uh' Absolutely hysterical! I think the film is on Wednesday evening coming, but I could be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 You must, Sheila. It's a classic, fantastic film. All about different forms of love and relationships, but very funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Christmas isn't Christmas without The Wizard of Oz! Its been digitally remastered or whatever the expression is so I might buy a copy for Him Indoors.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Christmas isn't Christmas without The Wizard of Oz! Its been digitally remastered or whatever the expression is so I might buy a copy for Him Indoors.... I heard about that this week. Apparently it was shown so much that the original tape was filthy. They have spent a very long time cleaning it and discovered bits that we never saw - like another screw on the TinMan's head. So the digital remastering is more real than the version we are all used to. I've got it on DVD already, but I might need to get another copy!

AnnieP Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I love singing along too, but my fav for that has to be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. As a child I was petrified by the child catcher though and had nightmares about him His name was Robert Helpmann, and he was actually a fantastic ballet dancer! He danced with Dame Margot Fonteyn many times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Because my parents tried to reason with me about my fear of him, by telling me all about him in the hope that I would see he was just an actor playing a part! His life is amazingly interesting actually, but I won't bore you with it! His performance in "The Red Shoes" is just the most amazing piece of dance I have ever seen.
