XANADU

Per Leonard Maltin's MOVIE AND VIDEO GUIDE: "Flashy but empty-headed movie designed as a showcase for star whose screen charisma is nil. 1 1/2 Stars."

Let's discuss.

I also admire Newton-John's "work" in GREASE. She played an Australian but she's BRITISH--what a "stretch" for her! :)

whatever makes you feel better about yourself....

Marquise,

Per the Internet Movie Database, Newton-John WAS born in Great Britain.

Please see:

http://imdb.com/name/nm0000556/

UNLIKE others (no names please!), I THOROUGHLY CHECK ALL MY FACTS PRIOR TO POSTING.

i stand corrected, she was born in England. one of my better characteristics is to admit when i'm wrong. another one of my better characteristics is to know better not to KNOCK what other people like.

...Oh...so THAT'S why you said Vivien Leigh was a nymphomaniac! It all makes PERFECT SENSE now.

BTW, your comment about Mary Martin and Ethel Merman wasn't exactly a "friendly" one either.

Okay.

You're a good man, Marquise, and I REALLY mean that.

I'm glad you're here with all of us at BWW.

Best Regards,

Hated the movie loved the soudtrack.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien
