Has anyone seen the Ian MacKellan `Richard III'. I thought that was
brilliant. Out of my top 10 movies I have two Shakespeares - `Much Ado' at
number 7 and `Romeo + Juliet' at number one. I'm yet to see a Hamlet that
is perfect all the way through ... and I never expect to, though I'll be
interested to see the upcoming Ethan Hawke version.
Me ... I'm going to be very unpopular and state that I'm very fond of
`Troilus and Cressida'
