Beckinsale put on some weight to realistically look like how actresses did back then and I felt she looked great because her bones weren't sticking out everywhere and she actually had some curves.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-33644825272725593112014-12-30T12:41:40.870+02:002014-12-30T12:41:40.870+02:00Well, it seems I am in minority here.

This meant that aspect of it was fresh for me.<br /><br />I agree that Gardner is very pretty and I felt that the best Kate Beckinsale has looked onscreen was when she was playing Gardner in the film The Aviator.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-52713695962592468622014-12-29T09:15:10.665+02:002014-12-29T09:15:10.665+02:00Yes, it is curious how beauty (and presence) is in...Yes, it is curious how beauty (and presence) is in the eye of the beholder. So far I have had no reason to be disappointed with Gardner, but that is just my personal opinion. Mason is a rising star in my mind and I have come to look forward to movies featuring him and his voice. Unfortunately at the end of the day the story itself is what matters to me and that just did not cut it in this case.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-2831034518603396642014-12-28T18:51:01.649+02:002014-12-28T18:51:01.649+02:00As it happens, I was mildly fond of this movie, al...As it happens, I was mildly fond of this movie, almost despite Ava Gardner, who I tend to not care for. James Mason is a big reason. I agree that it doesn't belong on The List, though. There's not enough here, and while the fantasy elements are interesting, there are better romances out there.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
