"e" wrote in message ... i will accept she did it for a movie, but i can't believe she adopted it for her musical career. if she did, spew! haven't seen the polanski film. i bailed on him after sharon. Grace Jones doesn't appear in "Frantic", only her music does. Do try to catch it. Harrison Ford (he's done some real stinkers, but he is fabulous in "Frantic"..) .. and an absolutely knockout young French actress, Emmanuel something (no not the one in the skin flicks) in a very intense kidnapping plot shot in and around Paris. It's an astoundingly good movie, and although I've never been to Paris, this one seems to capture the essence of the place, from its high class hotels to its dark, back street and rooftop underbelly that most tourists probably never see, better than any other I can think of. I've seen it probably twenty times on pay cable and never get tired of it, even though I know every scene. To me, that's the hallmark of a classic movie. Harv |

"Aram H. Haroutunian" wrote in message ... I love it, Harv. "Rooftop underbelly." Great imagery. Aram. I didn't know quite how to express it. Rooftop overbelly didn't quite cut it. But I was referring to the scene on the roof where Harrison Ford ducks out her loft apartment window with "THE" suitcase, and it pops open and all the **** spills out and he's desperately hanging onto a vent pipe on this dirty roof, while trying to reach the model of the Statue of Liberty with the (as Hitchcock would say) McGuffin in it, in his bare feet, trying not to fall off the steep roof, if you know the movie, you know what I'm talking about.

Harv I do, Harv. I was serious about the oxymoronic "rooftop underbelly." I thought it was very cool. Aram. |
