with (I think) Ronald Colman as Francois Villon and Basil Rathbone as th
the excentric Louis IX, the "Spider King." The ingenue is played by a
name actress also, but her name escapes me. It's a very entertaining
film about Paris lowlife in (?) the 15th century.

I've been reading the Bombay English-language fan magazines for
eight years. There are 5 principal monthlies, another that used to
come out twice a month (haven't seen it lately) and a trade paper
called "Screen" which doesn't print gossip but does cover
marriages, deaths, etc. in the whole Bombay film world (spilling
over into South and Bengali regional industries when appropriate).
Indian film censorship is still very strict, but there have been some
changes in what is allowed--after all, Star TV is there now, and
plenty of sexy English-language films in theaters and on video. So

One of the best film depictions of medieval life I've ever
seen was in _The Navigator_, a New Zealand production that came
out a few years ago. The mining village shown in the movie was
little more than a collection of huts and life was nasty and
bleak, as I imagine life would have really been for the majority
of people. [...]41_2Oct199211:59:

about teaching it in a class next quarter. I wonder if

discuss. I have
