The old one not the new one - with Micheal Cain.

Shockingly good and heavily reliant on how Michael Cain plays the role. I haven't seen the new one but don't think Jude Law could play the role. I picked it up believing it would be about an arrogant womaniser who walks suavely through life with memorable one-liners. It discribes itself as a comedy about sex and sin. But its more poignant than that and is worth watching with an open mind.

I have a copy and am willing to lend it out but think I promised Mr. Riley first (I will try and remeber on Tuesday!)

Hiya

I managed to watch this eventually. It was a good film rather fun and quirky. I thought it was interesting to see that Michael Caine had love handles and was still classed as a sexy star! You would not find that a star is sexy now unless they have Brad Pitt style buffness. Very good.

Yeah it is bizarre that everyone in magazines and tv and film all have not one once of fat on them. In a way it sets an unrealistic view of what is beautiful.

I personally get really annoyed at Victoria Beckham types and then very worried when you see loads of obese people everywhere. Surely neither extreme is good - personally I like having a comfortable place to sit and not feel like I'm fat and need to go on a diet!
