Uncovered

Uncovered

While restoring an old painting showing a woman and two men playing chess, Julia discovers the text "Who killed the knight" underneath the paint.

Despite the numerous deaths, it never manages to truly create great interest and suspense who did it.

Because of her very young age Beckinsale is not entirely convincing as an art restorer, but she looks very fetching with her short hair. But you feel bad noticing it because there's some gratious nudity and lots of groping of her by various male characters. At times the movie seems unsure if it wants to be taken seriously or going the camp route.

Side note, interestingly, a lot of the famous Barcelona buildings and places designed by Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner are used as backdrops for scenes, even interior ones, but they aren't introduced with wide shots to make full use of their visual value.

WE GOT A DATE LADS!!

[weclassybouquetfun]

Nothing should surprise me when it comes to the BAFTAs, after all this is the same body that failed to nominate Richard Madden for his work on THE BODYGUARD, but I am surprised : both pleasantly and not so pleasantly. 

The good? Nominations for Callum Turner for THE CAPTURE and Will Sharpe for GIRI/HARI

But bewildered by the lack of nomination for fan favorite Andrew Scott for his role as (Hot) Priest in series two of FLEABAG. I thought they would be all over HIS DARK MATERIAL and Ruth Wilson’s performance or even her work on her passion project MRS. WILSON. The latest season of PEAKY BLINDERS was its strongest and recent years and still, nothing. 

Some of the nominees:

Leading Actress- Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Glenda Jackson (Elizabeth is Missing), Samantha Morton (I am Kirsty), Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack)

Leading Actor - Stephen Graham (The Virtues), Callum Turner (The Capture), Jared Harris (Chernobyl), Takehiro Hira (Giri/Haji)

Supporting Actress - Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown), Helen Behan(The Virtues), Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy), Naomi Ackie ( The End of the F***ing World

Supporting Actor - Josh O'Connor (The Crown), Joe Absolom (A Confession), Stellan Skarsgard (Chernobyl), Will Sharpe (Giri/Haji)

Drama Series - The Crown, The End of the F***king World, Gentleman Jack, Giri/Haji

Female Performance in a Comedy Programme - Gbemisola Ikumelo (Famalam), Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Sarah Kendall (Frayed), Sian Clifford (Fleabag)

Male Performance in a Comedy Programme - Guz Khan (Man Like Mobeen), Jamie Demetriou *really fun in THE GREAT (Stath Lets Flats), Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education), Youssef Kerkour (Home – Jantaculum)

Mini-series - A Confession, Chernobyl, The Victim, The Virtues

Scripted Comedy - Catastrophe, Derry Girls, Fleabag, Stath Lets Flats

MISS JULIE / ANDREWS meets The Marvelous MRS. MAISEL

“Kind of Bleu” (S3;E6) takes Midge’s agent Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein) to Broadway to produce a revival of August Strindberg’s real 1888 play MISS JULIE starring Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch, above) as the title character. 

In an inspired bit of fact-meets-fiction storytelling, Myerson lands a theatre with the help of some well-connected tough guys, ousting Julie Andrews from her Barrymore Theatre dressing room. Although un-mentioned, the evicted show is the musical CAMELOT.  

Separating fact from fiction, CAMELOT (the music from which is heard in the background in a rehearsal hall scene earlier in the episode: “What Do the Simple Folk Do?”) actually opened on Broadway at the Majestic Theatre on December 1, 1960. It tried out in October in Canada, far from the lights of Broadway, in order to work on the show a healthy distance from the critical early-birds that plagued previews in Boston or New Haven when MY FAIR LADY was in embryo.  

A few episodes earlier, Christmas was being celebrated on the series, so fiction has compressed time - since it definitely does not look like mid-winter in the scene filmed on 47th Street. In 1960, the Ethel Barrymore housed several plays.  From mid-November to early December (when CAMELOT would have been loading in) the Barrymore housed THE HOSTAGE by Brendan Behan, the second of three theatres in its Broadway run. 

The marquee seen in the episode was added for the sake of the gag, and is not part of the theatre’s architecture, although is obviously filming at the actual Ethel Barrymore Theatre. In 1960, however, the theatre’s entryway had not yet been covered by the new sign bearing the name of the venue, as seen in this photo of a 1958 tenant LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL The vertical theatre sign was smaller and higher up on the building.  

Many of the characters on the series are amalgamations of real-life people living alongside historical figures (such as Lenny Bruce) and purely dramatic inventions. Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch) is strongly influenced by female character actors of the time, including Gertrude Berg, who also created a comical working class woman quite unlike herself.  

She had enormous success on Broadway and television in her creation “The Goldbergs”, winning a 1951 Emmy Award beating out theatrical legends Helen Hayes and Dame Judith Anderson. At the same time, movie star Lucille Ball was starting her own series where she also played a working class woman in a sitcom: “I Love Lucy,” a series often mentioned on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”  

Coincidentally, in early 1960, Gertrude Berg performed in the play A MAJORITY OF ONE at...The Ethel Barrymore Theatre!  

When Sophie and her co-star Gavin Hawk (Cary Elwes) are having loud sex in her dressing room, the director calls Susie to tell her that FLOWER DRUM SONG has complained about the noise!  The Rodgers and Hammerstein tuner played until May 7, 1960 at the St. James Theatre, located three blocks south of the Barrymore!  Coincidentally, the musical takes place in Chinatown, San Francisco, while a subplot of season 3 of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” has Midge’s ex-husband Joel opening a nightclub in Chinatown, New York.  

He adds that BYE BYE BIRDIE has called Equity - presumably also about the noise!  The show opened April 14, 1960 at the Martin Beck Theatre (now the Al Hirschfeld) located a bit closer to the Barrymore - just two blocks away.  This places the action of the episode from April 17 to May 7, 1960. Of course, the director was likely just being funny about the shows being disturbed by the love-making. But it does give a vivid verbal picture of Broadway in 1960.  

Curiously, although MISS JULIE had premiered on Broadway in 1913, there was a 1962 revival (just two years after the action of the episode) at the Cort Theatre performed in the original Swedish! 

In 2017, Tony Shalhoub, who plays Midge Maisel’s father Abe, performed at the Ethel Barrymore in THE BAND’S VISIT. Both the actor and the musical won Tony Awards. Cynthia Darlow (Mrs. Moskowitz) appeared at the Barrymore in Neil Simon’s RUMORS in 1988. Caroline Aaron (Shirley Maisel) was a standby for the comedy SOCIAL SECURITY at the Barrymore in 1986.

Contemplating ‘The Virtues’ on Topic ☆☆☆☆☆

The typography of the mini-series, “The Virtues,” makes it clear that this  work has a religious bent, but religion is not in the text so much, but rather in the philosophy behind the script. Director Shane Meadows has co-written with Jack Thorne a semi-autobiographical story about a traumatic childhood event that the victims are only able to confront as adults with different outcomes. “The…
