Amazing stuff! She has all those bananas and yet every guy in the audience is convinced that she needs one more.

Her boobs were originally exposed. The French. Brilliant and unashamed.

hi chrisz78 - acting styles change - even language changes - if we were to walk about speaking in the language of Shakespeare (declaring loudly that we were maintaining culture) people would die with laughter. having said this i still think John Gielgud (to whom Olivier was referring in that quote) was the greatest speaker of Shakespearean verse - but if his style was used in the theatre today it just wouldn't play.

@nickwallacesmith "if acting was done in the way it was in the C19 (lawrence olivier aid 'it was like singing) we'd die with laughter". So would we? Or rather, would you? It's not shameful to be ignorant, but it certainly is shameful to laugh about things you are too lazy or too intellectually challenged to understand and enjoy. Olivier was but a pale imitation of Irving, and today's "actors" who talk like ordinary clerks aren't even that. Culture ended in 1918.
A true pioneer!
