...heart of the conflict is the mix of Anne and Mary's sisterhood and sibling rivalry. Having both bedded the King of England, can they kiss and make up? This being more a Masterpiece Theatre episode than a pay-TV romp à la The Tudors, it never leaves you in doubt that noble sentiment will win out over sexual intrigue, that hanky will trump panky. The resulting melange isn't awful, but you'll be forgiven if you wait for the DVDs of The Other Boleyn Girl - this one and the TV movie - for a leisurely home-viewing to compare...
...return visit since reviewing it 12 years ago--looks a bit paler than it did back in 1996, when it opened off-Broadway to so much acclaim that it made the jump to Broadway just two months later.

Italians won for Original Score (Dario Marianelli, Atonement) and Art Direction (Dante Ferretti and Francesca Lo Schiavo, Sweeney Todd); two Frenchmen won for Makeup (Didier Lavergne, La Vie en Rose) and Live Action Short (Philippe Pollet-Villard, the director, writer and star of The Mozart of Pickpockets.) But one reason the Academy often gives Oscars to foreigners is that they seem really to want one. "Thank you, life, thank you, love," Cotillard exclaimed, as effusive as Sally Field or Halle Berry...
...score, Saturday, in coach John Tillman’s first game for the Crimson.“I think that today’s game should be a lesson to us that you can’t underestimate any team,” tri-captain Nick La Fiura said. “I don’t think that the coach had underprepared us, but maybe some of us thought less of this team than maybe we would have of Cornell. It just shows that any team can win on any given Saturday.” The Saints...
