Who?
Bird on a Wire, Omen movies,
Punchline. Anyway, he has freely adapted Susan Isaac's novel to make a budgety WW2 film with Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith, which bizarrely ends up just like one of those far-fetched but enjoyable WW2 propaganda movies that she so frequently references (only the old version would have been 100 minutes not 127). It was quite enjoyable - Q liked it anyway. Framed as older Griffith recounting the story to the BBC. Much of viewing distracted by this little stanza:
It was the sorry tale
Of raw doves, and a quail.
(In fact there were no quails featured - a shame, really.)
With John Gielgud, Joely Richardson, Liam Neeson. Little Victoria Shalet was in
Goggle Eyes.
Photographed in Panavision by Jan de Bont and with a slightly sugary score by Michael Kamen.
