Tampopo -------- i watched this one many times and still didn't realize what kind of Truck Goro was driving.


Gosford Park --------- after much effort , i finally know almost Who everyone is upstairs.


i still don't get how the Nestbitts got to know Sir William (his family), but i suppose that info is not given.


> The Hon. Freddie Nesbitt (James Wilby) Blackmailing Isobel; married to Mabel; has lost his job

> Mabel Nesbitt (Claudie Blakley) Married to Freddie; daughter of a factory owner; Freddie married her believing her to be wealthy; they cannot afford servants

----------- Mabel loves Novello's singing....

-------- Mabel is the only truly sympathetic character upstaires

I'm looking at mostly early 70's action series.

The usage [looking at] is a bit curious.

the entry [Chekhov's Gun] is excellent.
this site (TVtropes.org) is in many ways better than Wikipedia.



One character in [Gosford Park] made me remember this joke:

>>> Ein Araber, ein Deutscher und ein Franzose sitzen in Kairo in einem Kaffeehaus.

Kommt eine rassige Schönheit vorbeigetippelt.

"Bei Allah", sagt der Araber.
"Bei Gott!" flüstert der Deutsche.
"Bei mir heute abend im Hotel", ruft der Franzose.
