Happy Birthday Screen-L and greetings to all! It is great having access to infromation and individuals in many parts of the world! I enjoy Jeremy's quotes as well! I wonder if anyone is familiar with a Russian film that won a prize in Italy in 1989---not sure if it was Prix Italia or something like that. I taped the film from Swedish tv, and roughly translated is called A DOG'S HEART. It is based on a story (by Bulgakov, I believe) but no director was named in the credits or before the film! I would like to know who the director was if anyone knows. I loved the film---opens with point of view sequences - from the dog's point of view! The dog is transformed into a human by an operation, becomes a Party member, and eventually is operated on again and becomes a dog, when he turns out to be a real pain in the neck. Hope somebody knows out there in cyberspace. Bert Deivert Univ. of Karlstad Sweden [log in to unmask]
