Ah, Christmas, St. Stephan's, the Holy Innocents...but more on that later...
I just watched Spartacus, 1960 vintage. I don't care if the real Spartacus was an army deserter and bandit who was sold into slavery as an adult and didn't really give a hoot about freeing all the slaves and changing society. What REALLY matters is that this film had Ustinov and Laughton, the two greatest Neros of filmdom, side by side in scene after scene! GREAT FLICK!
Ursula Andres, Catherine Deneuve, and Charo twice!
Oh, dear...It's a Poor Old Thing...

About Me
- romanreb
- I'm a Catholic. That defines all else that I am. It is my heritage, my cross and my joy. It drives and colours all that I think, say and do. I didn't get this way by any logical procession, but miraculously and through God's overwhelming Mercy and Grace. It has been far easier for me than for most people---I think because I had less to work with and He is merciful. Sometimes the sheer Glory of it all presses down upon me so that I can hardly breathe... In addition, I am a wife, a mother a Texan and a faithful child of the Confederate States of America. I am a descendant of Chivalry and a denizen of Christendom. In short, I do not live in your "real world". But in the words of Puddleglum, my playworld "licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia...."
