John Jr. Here's a tangled remark for you (this is how I first thought of it): That film is not easily done justice to.

Be that as it may… thanks for the reminder. Must see that one again.

Lisa Lieberman Can't argue with you there. Can you send me the link to your review?

Lisa Lieberman Wonderful review! This line, in particular, struck me: "the desperate struggle to rise above the chaos to create something magical on stage." That's the creative urge in a nutshell.

I will bookmark your site so I don't have to ask for the link again. Over time, I will read all 100 reviews.

PGR Nair Thanks Lisa. No I haven't completed it yet though the editor has been after me. After some 87 ones, I will into a sort of exhaustion. Need to work on it again :)
