What’s your favorite of Polly Walker’s historical costume movie and TV roles?
OMG, those beach pajamas. I need to lose, like, 60 pounds and then find/make a set. Yes to a complete review of Poirot. They were always perfection!
I need to lose the 60 lbs and have the excess bat wing skin removed from my arms. Thanks nana… :P
Yes, the Poirot mysteries are perfection especially compared to the mess they made of the Marple adaptions with Geraldine McEwen and Julia Mckenize.
Have to agree about the beach pyjama set, it is beyond gorgeous, except I need to lose not only 60lbs but 30 years! Polly Walker has long been a favourite of mine, and was at her absolute best in Rome. Mind you, I think the entire cast of Rome was superb, it’s one of my favourite box-sets. Another two excellent reasons for watching this version of The Mayor of Casterbridge – James Purefoy and Ciaran Hinds, enough said 😊
My favourite Polly Walker film is Enchanted April. The costumes are TDF, the scenery is gorgy and The acting is top notch. Each member of the cast brought their A Game and it shows.
If I could pick a second, I’m going with two: Restoration (I’ve a major crush on Charlie and his dogs) and Rome.
Are you going to review Jenny Beavan’s new flick – The Nutcracker and Five Realms?
I’m going to watch it for both Misty Copeland and Helen Mirren. Also the Clara actress was Renee Esmee in Twilight Breaking Dawn.
I never could buy her as Jane Fairfax, maybe because she looks too naturally Fierce. Like, she would rip Frank Churchill’s face off for being such an asshole. IMA, bad-ass roles suit her better. ;)
