Very un-PC, but very entertaining, I do confess lmao. Valentino was not the best actor in the world and suffered from being saddled with poor vehicles, but when he had a good director and a smart script, he was magic.nitrateglowhttp://nitrateglow.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084289080318419411.post-59873301364133693302015-05-21T23:20:46.752-07:002015-05-21T23:20:46.752-07:00I enjoyed the books although I suspect, decades la...I enjoyed the books although I suspect, decades later, that they were fairly hokey and, like the film, un-PC LOL. I remember them being quite entertaining, though. I stumbled across them in a used bookstore, as I recall. They're still here on my shelves, I should pull them down and have a fresh look when I get a chance to see the movies.<br /><br />The festival sounds fantastic!<br /><br />Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084289080318419411.post-64354573900889996972015-05-21T22:59:18.023-07:002015-05-21T22:59:18.023-07:00It's been amazing this year Laura!

I'm curious to check them out now. I'd say of the two movies, that this is the most entertaining, but I haven't seen the first one for quite a while.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587905976811500791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084289080318419411.post-23161750376784067622015-05-21T21:53:03.474-07:002015-05-21T21:53:03.474-07:00This sounds like a lot of fun!

I read the books the two movies were based on many years ago and would enjoy checking out the films. <br /><br />So glad you have some really special film events right there in Seattle!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.com
