I love it! :)<br /><br /><i>I Dream of Jeanie</i> is actually based on the life of the 19th century folk songwriter Stephen Foster (his early writing years, that is, so it ends just before he gets married). As far as "content" goes, I can definitely recommend it. It gets slightly intense towards the end where he's despairing about his abilities for a while, but it's mostly the music, etc. And throughout there's no suggestiveness and no "scenes" whatsoever. It's a <i>leetle</i> slow in places (mostly just this big minstrel show in the middle), but it also has some delightfully fun and charming moments, too. Let me know if you're able to see it!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-5660308752936031992016-03-14T18:09:15.566-07:002016-03-14T18:09:15.566-07:00Carissa,

I caught the end of it on late night TV once, (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078643/) Thought it looked awful at first but it turned out to be not bad, and it puts in lots of bits not in the film, like Jo and Beth going to stay at the seaside :) Some weird casting though, William Shatner is Professor Bhaer!<br />Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686117720448179589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-74897952590529790182016-03-06T18:18:45.643-08:002016-03-06T18:18:45.643-08:00The Mark of Zorro is great!

I would be most excited to watch such a miniseries :-) Here's hoping . . . <br /><br />I'm very fond of Queen Mary--that's an excellent choice, Heidi! Apart from everything else, her sheer longevity is amazing; she was a child during Queen Victoria's reign and lived well past WWII. She saw a lot of changes during her lifetime, that's for sure :-) Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-14848872864895059382016-03-05T05:35:45.073-08:002016-03-05T05:35:45.073-08:00That picture from The Mark of Zorro is so sweet!

Of course, you kinda introduced me to it, so I really have you to thank or I likely never would have found it! ;)<br /><br />I can see Keira Knightley as Jo March. In fact, I think that would be lovely.<br /><br />I haven't watched the 1940 <i>Mark of Zorro</i> in at least a decade. I should probably give it another try.Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.com
