I taped it last time but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Watching now. I had to do a triple take at that very young George Hamilton! The smile tipped me off.

Set it up this morning before I went to work. Me & Mrs Roxy went there (& Rome & Venice) on our honeymoon in 1998. She loves Italy & since she is a believer in reincarnation & believes she lived in Venice as a 16 century courtesan to the painter Giorgione, it means more. Off to Chinatown Sunday to pick up a bogus Looie suitcase & than to the restaurant Giorgione. We see Paris Letter tomorrow as she has a major case of the hots for John Glover who I loved in the short lived TV series Brimstone.

It's good that they get the whole "secret" out of the way in the first ten minutes -- no need to build too much suspense around it. And Clara here has many more opportunities to demonstrate her child-like qualities than Lucas' book for the musical gives Kelli O'Hara, making her mental deficiencies much clearer.

Im watching it now.. Having never seen the show or movie before and only heard bits of the music and hoping to see the show in August... It makes me wonder is Matthew Morrison's accent authentic sounding or cheesy? And is there any difference between the movie and the show?

I am loving the pre-orange George Hamilton.

So glad I remembered this!! The movie is quite charming...

People, people, people! What is this "tape" and "VCR" talk? C'mon now, it's the 21st century. Time to embrace "DVR"s, and TiVo. VCRs are so 20th century. re: VCR Reminder -- The Light in the Piazza on TCM at 6pm

I did a search on TiVo two weeks ago, found "Light in the Piazza", clicked "Record this Showing", and it's a-recordin' away. Then, of course, if I want to save it from TiVo storage to another medium, I can always download it to a videocassette or DVD. I'm tellin you, DVRs are the way to go. Don't get me started on how often I use the Pause and Rewind of live TV.

Now are you SURE your DVR is working right now and there's not some sort of cable outage or technical error going on? re: VCR Reminder -- The Light in the Piazza on TCM at 6pm

Okay. I haven't seen the musical yet. But without giving me any spoilers, can someone simply answer for me if the ending if the musical is different?

Because I was expecting this big emotional ending, and the movie wasn't like that.

So I'm guessing the endings are different?? Don't give me any spoilers, just answer me that question. please.

I rather enjoyed it more than I thought I would. A lot of it seemed word-for-word exactly like the book. It also lasted about as long as it took to read the book, so the effect was something like watching the pages jump out onto the screen.
