Hopefully, poems count. I believe that The Beggar Maid with Mary Astor was based on a poem that was based on the painting, and was co-produced by and shot at least partly at the estate of Louis C. Tiffany. Theda Bara's A Fool There Was is based on Kipling's poem and the famous painting done shortly after that. And there must be a hundred comedies where characters pop out of paintings and become part of the story, but can't think of a single one! -- Best, Dennis Doros Milestone Film & Video PO Box 128 Harrington Park, NJ 07640 Phone: 201-767-3117 Fax: 201-767-3035 email: [log in to unmask] www.milestonefilms.com www.arayafilm.com www.exilesfilm.com www.wordisoutmovie.com www.killerofsheep.com AMIA St. Louis 2009: www.amianet.org Join "Milestone Film" on Facebook! ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
