I liked that the melancholic final tour of their lives had a film devoted to it at all, something never done before, surely, and it was brought off to perfection, with the impersonations of the two leads beyond extraordinary. I'm very contented to hear that you liked it as much as I did.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-42841080609953157102019-01-19T13:24:44.340-08:002019-01-19T13:24:44.340-08:00I adored the movie.

I'll remember it next time I walk past the Lido, which is fairly regularly.<br />I recall back in the 1950s and 60s a stage act called the 'Fol-de-Rols who did things like dancing about with just faces and hands visible, seemingly detached from the rest of their bodies covered in black and in shadow. I wonder if this was the same act as you experienced.<br />I remember the name Sandy Powell but just had to Goggle it to remind me of who he was - presumably you're referring to the comedian rather than the female costume designer - and even with the prompter is he's very vague in my mind.<br />Pity you missed L & H but I think it was only a stay in Worthing for a day, or two at most.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-17186129684341679772019-01-16T21:05:58.489-08:002019-01-16T21:05:58.489-08:00As a student I was a 'Deck Chair Person' o...As a student I was a 'Deck Chair Person' on the beach at Worthing; we were based in the Lido.
