Still, Jacobi, (of whom I'm just waiting to hear the words 'National Treasure' from somebody!) doesn't have a big enough role in this for his presence to put anyone off from the rest of the film - but overall it is a rather stodgy affair, so you wouldn't be losing much by missing it.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-40461058293321047092019-05-15T05:14:26.140-07:002019-05-15T05:14:26.140-07:00I avoid any film that features Derick Jacobi ever ...I avoid any film that features Derick Jacobi ever since I saw him ham it up in “I, Claudius”.

However, at that time the full historical significance of such hallowed premises hadn't sunk as deep into my consciousness as it later reached.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-46318747579823199082019-05-07T23:49:48.053-07:002019-05-07T23:49:48.053-07:00I might limit my Tolkien experience to the occasio...I might limit my Tolkien experience to the occasional refreshment at the Eagle and Child!The Real Chrisparklehttps://therealchrisparkle.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-8131723289009673882019-05-07T02:30:49.217-07:002019-05-07T02:30:49.217-07:00I'll be sorry if it's only because of my o...I'll be sorry if it's only because of my opinion you've gone lukewarm on this, JayGee.
