It's gorgeous. And though the facts are all wrong and the time-scheme compressed, I think it gets at something true about Barrie's love for the family, something usually gloated over as pedophilia in a horribly cynical way. Something that is actually love. For me it was one of those films where I cried in the happy bits - when the orphans arrived at the theatre, for instance. My children liked it too. -- Diane Purkiss -- ________________________________________ Girlsown mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] For self-administration and access to archives see http://home.it.net.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/girlsown For FAQs see http://www.club-web.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/girlsown/faq-0.htm
