No, that's fine. Yes, we did see both versions. The first version in 1982 (]'s first Christmas, for which the movie was commissioned), and the Bowie version probably came along the next year or the one after that. I thought they were probably sexing it up a bit for the overseas market, by adding a well known Brit (Bowie was a huge star in those days, so he was probably a good choice). --]|] 20:58, 16 May 2005 (UTC) | |||

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you're enjoying the new series. Being in Canada I was able to see it last spring and let's just say it gets better with every episode.

My attitude would be that since we have no way of telling whether this guy is Craig-Morgan or not, he needs to supply references for his claims. Granted the IMDB might be wrong, but if they are someone needs to find another source that contradicts them. I have seen this happen before, with people claiming they are the subject of an article and then demanding that it be changed, taken down, whatever. I would say all this to the buy claiming to be Craig-Morgan, and then if he's still playing up refer to an admin for mediation. | |||
With regards to the Manual of Style, this is a separate issue. Have you tried simply directing the editor to the MoS? I'd try this first. Good luck! --] (]) 11:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

Hi Jmabel. Your move of the popular references for Oscar Wilde to its own page was a great idea. Having read some of the concerns expressed on the discussion page about that section I had been meaning to leave a note suggesting just what you did, but just hadn't gotten around to it. One other question, do you think that it is time to archive the discussion page? It is fairly long and I have thought about attempting it, but I have never created an archive page before and am afraid that I would botch it up. It is just a suggestion and if you don't think it is needed yet that is fine too. Once again GOOD JOB!] | ] 06:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

BTW: while the opera company's site doesn't do a year-by-year listing of operas performed, the 50th Anniv. book, Phillip Huscher's ''The Santa Fe Opera: an American Pioneer'' does that and the entries of the "List" which I added came from that source. | |||

== Elsa Lanchester == | |||
Hi MarnetteD, I have seen your edits in the Elsa Lanchester page. Considering myself reasonably well read about Laughton and Lanchester, I agree with you that there is no evidence that an early abortion prior to her marriage to Charles Laughton, was the cause of her not being able to have children (thus I leave your edit as it is). This is what Maureen O'Hara reports as having been told to her as Charles, but, as you point, not necessarily what actually happened (though, of course, there is no way to disclose it). I strongly suspect that by telling O'hara so, Laughton was actually covering her wife's neglect to have children in a cavalier way. Elsa Lanchester, in her own 1983 biography, never says that she didn't have children because she was phisically unable to do so, rather, she states, that she wasn't keen on the idea of being a mother. Elsa herself reports two abortions: one, long before meeting Charles Laughton, and another while already engaged in a fully-fledged relationship with him (they were living together) BUT not yet married to each other. She explains that she had the abortion because she thought that the relationship wasn't known to the general public (so becoming a single mother could damage her public image and her career). It is not reported what Laughton thought of her decision] 10:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
== Thanks for your comments, too ;) == | |||
Hi Marnette, Thanks for your comments. You're right that one must always be cautious about memoirs. The trouble with Laughton is that he never wrote an autobiography, so stories about him are strongly based in his widow's memoirs. I am of the opinion that Elsa is rather honest about Cl and herself on the whole, but there are some points where I'd like to have an alternative point of view: some negative comments about Laughton stem from her account, if I have no alternative~but to take the bad news like a big girl, ha, ha. But often there are other accounts which help balance the image of Charles, often in a positive direction. Still, some false myths remain: I have written about them in an article I made for the Catalan Misplaced Pages (which you are welcome to visit :D ). | |||
BTW, if you're interested in Laughton and Lanchester, you might like to visit this message board: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/laughtonlanchester/ | |||

Hi Marnette, | |||
Thanks for your comments on my talk page. I've been on a brief vacation for a bit, but I'll try to look into the ''War and Peace'' issue when time permits. I might actually have access to a PAL copy within the next month, so perhaps that would be worth digging up. As far as ''Best of Youth'' goes, what can I say? I have seen it three times and projected it once - and it was created as a four part miniseries of 90 minutes each part for RAI TV. (Each theatrical half has a fade out at the middle that indicates where these breaks occur.) I have no idea how it was presented in the US, but I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if it were cut for American audiences out of financial considerations.
