twice as long as Parsifal but only half the fun. Which is a bit unfair.
Can't say Coward was all wrong...I (re)watched it earlier this year and while the first act is soooo much fun (Richard Harris in blue eyeshadow! Vanessa Redgrave in a number of outlandish outfits! Catchy tunes)it seems to pass in no time at all, the second act, with all it's doom and gloom, is SLOW. Still, great fun in places.



This is rather amusing, too: a Merlin-vid set to "The Lusty Month of May"
