you sure?

The actor looks a little like our dear Morrissey.... spooky.
 
Stanley Baker! Many have mentioned the similarities.
 
FAO fans of 60s British cinema

I spotted 'The Girl With Green Eyes' on VHS in Vinyl Exchange on Oldham Street (Mcr) yesterday. Very hard to find on video (not released on DVD).

Just thought I'd mention it...

Trainspotter !.I thought "Girl With The Green Eyes" was the name of an Edna O'Brien novel. Am I wrong ?

Perhaps I should ask a REAL librarian. You know...one who actually goes to work

It's a fillum of the Enda O'Brien novel, Johnny (she also wrote the screenplay) - starring Rita Tushingham, Peter Finch and Lynn Redgrave - with a number of well-known Irish actors in the supporting cast including TP McKenna and Marie Kean.

Ahhhh. thanks Almodis.I'm not really a film buff but I really like Edna O'Brien.I did fall out with her years ago when she wrote a very bad novel based in Spain but by and large her work has been faultless.

She is a mad as a box of frogs though

Can you remember the name of the recent novel she did that was based on some real life murder in Ireland ?

"In The Forest" - based on the murders of Imelda Riney, her son Liam and Father Joe Walsh. Not one of her better books, to be honest IMHO - leaving aside the controversy over its publication (it's a very thinly fictionalised account of the events and was published not long after the murders and the subsequent death in prison of the real-life murderer.)

That's the one ! I watched a documentary about it and the reviews I read were very positive.

I actually got into her fron the first Dexys single "Dance Stance".

In the song Rowland namechecked a "Who's Who" of writers including :-
Oscar Wilde,Brendan Beehan,Eugene O'Neil,George Bernard Shaw,Sean O'Casey,Edna O'Brien.

I am forever grateful to him for introducing me to such an amazing array of talent.

It got me into Wilde at a young age and then when Morrissey came along and declared a love for Oscar Wilde I felt we already had a mutual interest.

Oi ! I'm working 2 Saturdays in a row, so today is a "rest day"

I see Almodis has had to educate you about fillums and literature AGAIN.

Window-licker

Not that I remember. Unless I saw it during those rainy afternoons in the 70s when they used to put old films on TV.
