Posted: 7/27/11 at 11:19amWell that makes sense, then! I wish that had been spelled out instead of Madame Arcati saying "Oh, I should have known," or whatever vague thing she said. I was sitting there like "SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT? TELL ME ANGELA!"
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 7/27/11 at 11:19amThanks, RT. That completely went over my head. I still wasn't bowled over by O'Connor's overall performance.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Posted: 7/27/11 at 11:23amIt isn't terribly clear. In the first scene, Mme Arcati says something like "I'd swear there's someone else here who's psychic." Then it's not mentioned again till near the end.

Posted: 7/27/11 at 11:26amI do remember that, and I seem to remember her talking about another case that was similar. I definitely thought that there was a chance that Edith was somehow...blocking (?) the attempts to send Elvira back, but for some reason that didn't seem right to me.

Posted: 7/28/11 at 2:11pm@Gaveston, I'm not sure I'd categorize a family with 7 children trekking over a mountain to escape the Nazis as "corny."

Except as has been pointed out over the years, the actual family walked to the train station and went to Italy.
If they'd hiked over the mountains they'd have ended up in Germany.
Still, it's a great moment in the film.

Posted: 7/28/11 at 5:44pmChewy5000, I agree that 'All I Need Is The Girl' is a great scene. I saw the BP revival in 2004 and Tulsa was NPH's partner, David Burtka and Louise was Tammy Blanchard, both Broadway debuts. It's the first time we see Louise happy and it builds and builds to the joyous duet of Tulsa and Louise singing and dancing with really great choreograpy. Every time I listen to it on the cast album, I can visualize them onstage.
