Wow.  Anyone else notice that with what they did to the appearances of movie actresses, it can be very hard to tell one from another?   Of course, that can be true of actors that young.  People don't develop their really characteristic features till mid 20s or even 30.   JB here really looks like "generic film actress".

Another movie I need to see, rather than TV show recastings and comic book movies.   I'm not in love with the past like Foundling Prime, but that's where the grown up stuff seems to be.

I watched Disraeli a few years ago.  My memory of it is that George Arliss was extraordinary in the title role, and that the rest of the movie - cast and writing - was pretty unbearable.
