But I loved the fun "Much Ado...". I first saw KB in The Balkan Trilogy with his former spouse & later read Manning's books - he did a superb job. I then saw all his stuff & read his autobiography that he wrote when he was not even 30(?) Did you ever see "Rosencrantz and Gilderstern are Dead" - that's my favorite Hamlet (although not quite) movie.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098034737961019226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-29635254313600406602008-06-26T14:36:00.000-04:002008-06-26T14:36:00.000-04:00LOVE Kenneth Branagh AND Mr Jacobi who I totally f...LOVE Kenneth Branagh AND Mr Jacobi who I totally fell for during the WNET airing of I, Claudius.... <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://onthem104.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">:-Daryl</A>Darylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-47642950757846381812008-06-26T11:36:00.000-04:002008-06-26T11:36:00.000-04:00Willow...no time to waste, I am off to the Library...Willow...no time to waste, I am off to the Library.

I've never watched it, so I'll have to try to see it. I'm glad you wrote about it, because I'm not always a fan of putting Shakespeare into a modern setting, but sometimes it does work. And I've loved all of his other Shakespeare movies, so I trust him to do it well! (When I visited Italy, I spent a night in the villa that featured in "Much Ado About Nothing." I watch that one any chance I get!)A Brush with Colorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638723986208929476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-53134070137751260922008-06-26T10:14:00.000-04:002008-06-26T10:14:00.000-04:00Thanks for your visit to my Brookville Daily Photo...<BR><B>Thanks for your visit to my Brookville Daily Photo blog this morning.
