(view spoiler)Laura's found a remake - HUZZAH - just right for a Monday blizzard banking the snow up outside. Nothing will better Katharine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole performances IMHO yet it is always grand to watch other versions of a favourite play. This one is with Glenn Close and Patrick Stewart and PS looked just like a lion with his mane and slightly up-at-the-edges eyes.
This play never palls, I find fresh delight at every pithy one-liner and poisonous barb. Six stars.
