Hi Caius!<br>
<br>
As we say in Latin Simpsons Do_us, Do_a, Do_um!!! I am a very tardy irresponsible RAT member!!! I do apologise for not viewing this thread since about the 25th of November! I have sent my details to your hotmail and I do hope I haven't spoilt anything by my tardiness!! DE EM<br>
<br>
I am very happy to have won and to have found a film you had not seen - although true dedication on your part for tracking it down! I didn't even click to your review thread being related to this one<br>
<br>
I am sure there are other films out there for us to find. Recently I have been looking for operas based on Roman history as a way of examining the changing popular and artistic interpretations of ancient (especially Roman) history.<br>
<br>
Thus far I have found operas of Nero from 1924, 1909 (an opera of Quo Vadis) and 1936 (Mascagni I think it was his last). Taken with far more famous 19th Century ones (Attila, Norma, Les Troyens, ) and earlier ones (Handel, Mozart, Monteverdi ...) they make a most interesting corpus - This is perhaps another thread.<br>
<br>
So, as I have a habbit of ranting, I will stop and simply restate my pleasure in this thread.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
