<p>After watching the latest movie, the thing I like about Elizabeth Garvie (1980 version) is that she’s impertinent and independent but within the confines of the time, not being at all modern like KK. Playing Elizabeth with a modern sensibility is like playing tennis with the net down and rather defeats the story.</p>
<p>This discussion reminds me of some ways of Leonardo di Caprio in a remake of “The Man In the Iron Mask.” Could not convincingly utter a line of period dialogue to save his soul. I was quite surprised in contrast by what he summoned up for “The Aviator.”</p>
