The new Lasse Hallstrom version is neither fish nor fowl; not a farce, not slapstick, not romantic, not much of anything. Why can't someone make a good version of this?

I must seek out the BBC version. The story could be sooo good--and is by all accounts, in the TV version.

My links...well...I blame LINK MAGIC!

Fellini's Casanova is worth seeing.

Clearly you're right, and yet, the film's so bad, you don't notice this at first. Rather, you just say, "what are they doing with that fake hot air balloon?"

the fucking balloon!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

there's a balloon?

― kingfish hobo juckie (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

a WONDERFUL MAGICAL hot air balloon

This sounds like something that should have been on MST3K.
