But, just as a reaction to the comment above, about actors detracting, I was thinking exactly the opposite the other day as I was watching a William Hurt film. I can't get his dialogue from Kiss of the Spider Woman out of my mind. If I remember correctly, in thgis particular shot, the camera pans over the prison cell as we hear him talk...I think it was just great.GhostOfTomJoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13548587422494111204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14701409.post-56479868904487372902008-04-29T18:25:00.000-05:002008-04-29T18:25:00.000-05:00It is.
