Cross-dressing story-lines tend to bore me, so I never saw it. Never watched “Bosom Buddies” or even the classic “Some Like It Hot”, though I am a film buff. Enjoy the the Monty Python drag skits and Klinger on MASH was fun.

I knew Julie Andrews was in Victor/Victoria, but not James Garner - both fine actors, I’ll have to give it a viewing.

Another interesting type of film sets is the era of German Expressionism - Nosferatu, Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and so on.

The set for Svengali was pretty cool, too.

You don’t wanna get me started on either film or architecture.
:D

Neither have I.

Not a Monty Python fan but LOVED MASH, and Klinger. Father Mulcahy was my favorite.

>>I knew Julie Andrews was in Victor/Victoria, but not James Garner - both fine actors, I'll have to give it a viewing.

Besides the incredible sets, the fun is in the complexity. A women pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.

>>Another interesting type of film sets is the era of German Expressionism - Nosferatu, Metropolis

The rock version of Metropolis is one of my absolute favorites. I used "Here She Comes" from that for Alias. German Expressionism, in general, isn't my thing, though specific art pieces do get to me.

>>The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and so on.

Never saw it or Swengali, that I remember. I ran a vampire movie room for a vampire convention, so I might have once had a copy of some of that, but not sure.

>>You don'’t wanna get me started on either film or architecture.

Of course I do!

Architecture first, then films.

Bird House for People

I took two one week courses in Maine. One on screenplay writing, and one on Editing the Scene from the gentleman who wrote the Pawnbroker. Loved learning to write dialog.
