BBC Two showing "The Importance of Being Earnest" tomorrow morning. It looks as if it's the 2002 version though the Radio Times magazine has it as the superior 1952 version so Colin Firth rather than Michael Redgrave, Rupert Everett rather than Michael Denison, Reese Witherspoon rather than Dorothy Tutin, Francis O'Connor rather than Joan Greenwood. Judi Dench rather than Edith Evans and Anna Massey rather than Margaret Rutherford.

9.30am is an odd hour to be putting a film like that on
It'll have to be an iPlayer watch for me I'm afraid

Slim, a better week for films on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week with two films worth watching/recording.

On Wednesday at 22.10 is "And Then There Were None" (1945). One of the best films based on an Agatha Christie novel and superior to any of the later adaptations. Directed by René Clair ans is a must watch.
May have a warning beforehand about either racial or discriminatory language due the opening credit referring to the name of the novel. The original British release referred to the original book title which is highly offensive, the American release  referred to Indians instead.

On Thursday at 17.35 is "Champagne for Caesar" (1950) a comedy starring Ronald Colman, Celeste Holm and Vincent Price. In order to get even with the pompous president of a soap company (Vincent Price), an eccentric genius (Ronald Colma) goes on his quiz show in order to bankrupt his company.

I have seen the first film a couple of times over the years on television but it's not shown very often,. I don't remember having seen the second one though.

It's drizzly here too El, so that rules out any sunbathing for the next forty days ...at least!
