We've watched a few things lately...all available at Pic-a-Flic
"Bright Young Things" based on Evelyn Waugh's "Vile Bodies". Set in England between the wars, the novel examines the frenetic but empty lives of the Bright Young Things, young people who indulge in constant party-going, heavy drinking, and promiscuous sex. Changed the story line somewhat and used the wrong period of music but more or less captured the essence of the novel.
"De-Lovely"...a dramatized biography of Cole Porter. The music was great and they had singers like Alanis Morrisette, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, etc. but pretty hokey. This would have been so much better as a BBC radio documentary.
"Juno and the Paycock"...one of our favourite plays by Sean O'Casy and this 1929 production was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Really quite dreadful. The Captain Boyle character was played by a completely hopeless actor. I suppose the only excuse was this was the beginning of the "talkies".
