Six Black Cordelias

[Appypollylodgies]

love the scene later when Charles proudly tells Sebastian Cordelia's going to pray for him.

"She wrote a novena for her pig"

Phoebe Nichols is the most under rated actor of the series. The gradual growth of her character is a beautiful breathtaking study of coming to age.

[cockyragazzo]

@asar61 you are right on. her portrayal is so honest and unaffected and exhibits an intelligence and awareness that deepens as the character maturess

[saintbernie]

"Isn't that lovely?" My gosh sweetheart, everything that comes out of your mouth is lovely!

[Fujikorific]

I love Cordelia--she's so sweet and honest and innocent in this scene, without it being cloying or obnoxious.

[minpchen]

Ah, Phoebe Nicholls was just too adorable in this scene! :D

when i first saw brideshead revisited on tv in 1981 i was 18,did not understand what i was viewing,now i got the dvd,i c it is about roman catholic religion, class, homosexuality,forbidden love,issues that nowadays r a formality but back in the 30's these kind of things could ruin a person of standing and bring great disgrace on the family it is comperable to nowadays to child porongraphy,what we look nowadays as embarrasing in the future will just b a formality

[bozo828]

now i watch brideshead revisited i m struck first of all by the normality,the honesty that each character portrays,it's very enriching and wholesome,and it goes at a sedate pace,i feel that it draws me in2 a by gone age,and i wish i was there,but would it be like this i wonder,now we that r in the 21st century.

@bozo828 I really don't think you'll find people rallying around child porno at ANY time in the future - maybe you should look for another career.

[Blutmond666]

Is that Jeremy Irons? :D I've never seen him so young!

[selfidentity1]

cant believe this guy was my first crush, i was like six years old, and wasn't easily impressed. very well casted.

[pminner]

And to think they are enjoying themselves due to the constant ravage and rape of the African

Continent!

[jph3660]

Oh give it a rest, you self-righteous pratt.

[Sibelius92]

Well said, jph3660!

[angelmarine1292]

A brilliant T.V. series and really quite provactive truely it is a beautiful book and piece of film.

[cambon23]

What a great scene. Phoebe Nicholls was amazing. The art direction and cinematography among the best ever seen on tv

[jmtlmt]

I always think of this scene (over 25 years old now!) whenever I think about the oddities, quirks and hypocrisy of religion. Love Phoebe Nicholls.

Years ago, Catholic schoolchildren in the USA used to collect their spare change in little milk cartons to contribute to causes just like Cordelia's. BTW, love the series.

[newmark401]

So did we, but then again I grew up in Catholic Ireland!

[CocoJelly92]

well...children in the US (at least some) still collect spare change in little boxes and contribute it to causes like Codelia's. 'cept now it's called UNICEF XD

[FrJcsc]

I haven't seen a Unicef box since I went trick-r-treating with them in the 4th grade.

[CocoJelly92]

well, i dunno about you but i live in CA and we still have them

[FrJcsc]

I believe they were called Pagan Babies.

[veggiewendy]

I agree. :)

[veggiewendy]

I love Jeremy's facial expressions in this. :)

[melw41]

hehe yes, precisely why I thought the world needed to know about them :D

[lizclegg]

His acting is pitch perfect throughout the entire series.
