A Movie Scene Quiz

I got back last night, and I'm not going back to work until Monday. I find that, iat my advanced age, I need at least two days to recover from a trip to Europe, and if I can tack a weekend onto those two days, so much the better.

I say "ha!" to you being of advanced age. But I'm glad you don't need to stick to a schedule for a few days.

Speaking of age, which I'd rather not, guess who has a birthday today:

Happy 44th to:




and 60th to:

Matthew Broderick may be 44, but he's perennially boyish. And it's hard to believe that Timothy Dalton is 60 (but then, it's hard to believe that my sister is 60, too, and she is).

Great pics! Thanks Raggedy.

You're Welcome, Mac.

And it's hard to believe that I am still 39.

What a dilemma!

Two birthday party invitations for the same day.

Steve Sondheim will be 76 and Andy Weber will be 58 today.

Maybe I just better stay home and listen to the music.

Happy Birthday guys!

"Andy"? I had no idea you guys were so close.

I know whose party I'd go to, and it would be the one who wrote

Yes, I was thinking "Andy Weber? Who's that?"

Well, Mac doesn't have to tell us whose party she would have attended.

Actually, I would have tried to make it to both parties!

But you're right - Stephen's would have had top priority.

I'd like to wish Michael York a Happy 64th Birthday today. I liked him so much in "Cabaret".

And Michael, in case you should read this, I'd like you to know I missed you at the last Kennedy Center Honors show . I enjoyed it when the camera panned (is that the right word theatre buffs?) in on you in your aisle seat for at least five or six of those shows.

He'll always be the Prince of Cats for me.

Hey, there's a fun, fast movie game that started the other day:

Prince of Cats?

It's a nickname for Tybalt.


Romeo & Juliet, Act II, scene 4

MERCUTIO
Alas poor Romeo! he is already dead; stabbed with a
white wench's black eye; shot through the ear with a
love-song; the very pin of his heart cleft with the
blind bow-boy's butt-shaft: and is he a man to
encounter Tybalt?

BENVOLIO
Why, what is Tybalt?

MERCUTIO
More than prince of cats, I can tell you. O, he is
the courageous captain of compliments. He fights as
you sing prick-song, keeps time, distance, and
proportion; rests me his minim rest, one, two, and
the third in your bosom: the very butcher of a silk
button, a duellist, a duellist; a gentleman of the
very first house, of the first and second cause:
ah, the immortal passado! the punto reverso! the
hai!

Aah. Thank you Mac. You know your Shakespeare.

I've not seen Michael York in Romeo and Juliet. I've seen him play Dumas' D'Artagnan, though.

Franco Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet was a lovely film to watch. That was the first time I saw Michael York in anything.

Hi Wandeljw. I'll add it to my list of movies to see.

Romeo and Juliet (which I saw when I was in college) was probably the first time I saw Michael York in anything, too. (It might have been the original TV version of The Forsyte Saga, in which he played Jolly Forsyte, but I think that, even though The Forsyte Saga was made in 1967, it wasn't shown in the U.S. until a couple of years later.)

However, the role I think of first when I think of Michael York is the one he played in Cabaret.
