...witty without being self-consciously so, and Roger Michell's direction has a nice awareness of middle-class London, clinging to its dignity but just a little bit tatty around the edges. You leave the movie hoping against hope that you will be able to manage a similar ending - tart, gallant, without self-pity. Venus is inspirational in the best sense of the word...
...from one of the best restaurants in town. I’m desperately trying to finish,” Liu said to a chorus of cheers from the audience. Next up, the Italian team presented their elegantly arranged filet mignon on butternut squash risotto and three-onion tart with fontina, an Italian cheese. According to their head chef Alison E.

Olivia de Havilland, yet another Warners contract artist, had specialized in doe-eyed darlings, notably as Melanie in Gone With the Wind- again, a loan-out, this time to the Selznick Studio.
