I wasn't bothered by the nudity (and I usually am) in the bathing scene.<br /><br />The chemistry between Branagh and Thompson, his comic timing and the lovely performance by Denzel Washington as Don Pedro -- now I have to get on Netflix and see if it's available to stream. I want to see it again! (Love the scene in the garden where he's arranging his chair and overhears the others talking about Beatrice! Crash! LOL!)Betty Janet AOhhttp://janetmaldrich.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-84690234897652431492011-03-04T07:17:17.012-08:002011-03-04T07:17:17.012-08:00Betty Barbara here--
Oh thank you for mentioning M...Betty Barbara here--<br />Oh thank you for mentioning <i>Much Ado About Nothing</i>!! I just loved this movie--loved it. Even Keanu couldn't really stink it up.<br />The whole opening sequence leading up to the breathless girls and (freshly showered)men meeting in the courtyard is just great.<br /><br />My other favorite version of this play is the 1973 TV version with a young and hunky Sam Waterston playing Benedict--great Victorian era American setting/costumes. Worth a look-see, if you can find it.Barb in Marylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374278685536530837noreply@blogger.com
