I remember seeing the Uta Hagen original when I was a child, and then the Liz Taylor film was shot at my college (though not when I was there), then I saw another version at a summer theater. It's always been quite over the top and yet deeply moving. How about yours? <strong>jb says</strong>: Deeply moving, yes. And it certainly made me think. I'll post something about it tomorrow.

As long as reality is immediately discerned and the 2 not mixed-up. Just a thought. :-) <strong>jb says</strong>: Absolutely, Susan. That's what is so fascinating about the subject. Please don't take my illusions away, I'd be lost without them.
