It's fun, enough plot to keep you going, and some really great songs. I've probably watched it 20 times by now and will probably watch it 20 times more before I'm done!Martin Turnbull (the Garden of Allah novels)http://www.martinturnbull.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-22525114398167264552013-08-01T17:05:11.440-04:002013-08-01T17:05:11.440-04:00Rick, I cannot imagine that there will be many peo...Rick, I cannot imagine that there will be many people who have caught "Wonderful Life" but I am one of them. Like you, I adore Susan Hampshire. She won my heart in "The Forsyte Saga" and "The First Churchills" and "Living Free," to name a few. It was such a treat to catch her performance in "Wonderful Life" which even preceded "The Fighting Prince of Donegal."<br /><br />The person who really surprised me in "WL" was Cliff Richard who had a nice charisma and a wonderful singing voice. And talk about singing! "WL" must have about 40 songs in it.<br /><br />Like you, I was especially pleased with the segment featuring the cinema montage. That alone makes this a picture worth looking for and staying with in its unusual structure.<br /><br />Thanks for profiling a truly rare movie, Rick!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.com
