...witty and attractive. We're all like that. Really. Don't believe it? Just watch His Girl Friday (1940). Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are the ink-stained beauties in Howard Hawks' razor-witted screwballer about a newspaper editor who tries to bring his ex-wife back into the fold with a nutty crusade for justice-by-media (and by relentlessly belittling her new fiance). Not to be missed...
...Katzenberg, The Prince of Egypt represents a rather personal drama.

...British, he was nevertheless afraid of the dark, and always slept with a light burning by his bedside. He believed passionately in the unity of all the peoples of India, yet his failure to keep the Muslim leader Mohammed Ali Jinnah within the Indian National Congress's fold led to the partition of the country. (For all his vaunted selflessness and modesty, he made no move to object when Jinnah was attacked during a Congress session for calling him "Mr. Gandhi" instead of "Mahatma," and booed off the stage by Gandhi's supporters. Later, his withdrawal, under pressure from Jawaharlal...
