You learn something new…

27 Aug

… every day.

Today, there was the marriage of Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia and they showed a documentary about the history of the House of Hohenzollern. I had no idea that Lili Damita had dated a Hohenzollern Prince! But since she was no Princess, she was not allowed to marry him. Just imagine the way history would have gone if…

Community Quiz Question

17 Jul

Ok, here's what I call a “Community Quiz Question” because I don't have the answer all ready. I intended to get it, but realised that it won't be until maybe in two years or so, that's why I thought it'd be easier to post it as a question for all.

–> How often did Errol get a slap in the face in his movies?

Please enter the answers as follows:

Name of the slapping person, title of movie, reason

Example and part of the solution which you all know:

1. Bette Davis, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, for turning his back on the Queen/insolence

I invite everybody to join in, it may take weeks or months to be complete, but would be great if we managed another trivial topic in a joint effort. Don't forget to number the slaps! So here would be number two:

2. Faye Emerson, Uncertain Glory, for not telling the truth about himself

Hope you enjoy a little! I'll be off for a holiday on Tuesday, let's see what you manage in the meantime.

EF Movie Review

09 Jul

Here's a fresh, but… awful… movie review of Elizabeth and Essex… apparently, the author does not like Errol at all but unfortunately, there is no opportunity to vent one's anger at this piece of writing…
