I love The Batman.Thoroughly enjoying 'The Penguin' so gave 'The Batman' a go. Pretty good. Pattinson surprised me as a believable Bruce Wayne.
Couldn't place this one until I remembered its original British title was 'The Last Page'. Interesting blend of American stars and stalwart British supporting castThis afternoon I went back to 1952--Diana Dors not just lovely looks but a fine talent too......

The Riddler was properly menacing.I love The Batman.
FWIW,My wife agreed with you that it's a sad story while I and our younger adult daughter,who saw the film in Brazilia,where she's working,didn't really.Probably I was more sanguine about it because I think AD is an idea whose time has come.Agree about the acting BTW.A very sad story---Great acting by Ms Swinton and Ms Moore.

The original is great.I saw the remake at the cinema a few weeks ago.
Today I saw the more frightening original.

Watched it today on YouTube. Bogarde has a very brief scene with the back of his head to camera as a police telephone caller towards the end of the film.I am not sure about Dirk.....Diana Dors (very young) is in it.
What next, 'An Alligator Named Daisy', 'Value For Money', 'A Kid For Two Farthings'?I have continued my Diana Dors season with "The Long Haul" here is the trailer

She came from Swindon. My mother in law's sister and her husband lived next door to the Flucks in the old railway village part of the town and were good friends. I don't recall any single occasion when the name even came up in conversation as being near the knuckle or a matter of ridicule. I don't rember the F word being used in those far off days in the 50s by ordinary people anyway, 'bloody' was probably the limit but no doubt the upper classes would be au fait with it. Nowadays she probably could have used her real name without any problem.You guys probably know, but Dors wasn't her real name. Can't blame her from changing her stage name. Diana Fluck could haven proven rather problematic.
Could be "Value For Money"What next, 'An Alligator Named Daisy', 'Value For Money', 'A Kid For Two Farthings'?
Yeah, awkward. You can look at loads of film and music stars who would have probably never have made it using their real names.You guys probably know, but Dors wasn't her real name. Can't blame her from changing her stage name. Diana Fluck could haven proven rather problematic.
