So I ask the question again:  T. Elliot Stokes, Does he or doesn't he, apparently, only his hairdresser really knows for sure.

I think you're right on the mark re: Professor Stoke's hair color du'jour. It seems as if Thayer David colors his hair; notice he is a sandy blond as "Matthew Morgan" but has gone to mousy brown to play "Ben Stokes" in 1795. The gray streaks are obviously spray painted on for his role as Elliot in present day, and inconsistently at that. Back in the 50's and 60's, temporary hair color spray in cans was very popular.

[bawl][bawl] If we, in Georgia, don't get some rain soon, you might have to say Phew===about us.  They have rationed our water for outside purposes, now they are rationing the water we may have in restaurants! Next the bath, perhaps?

Maybe Roger will be "considerate" enough to lend his "brother-in-law" some of his old suits.  I realize that in certain European countries, it's considered perfectly normal and acceptable to "smell like a manly man," but I'm afraid we provincial Americans don't share that "earthy" appreciation of bodily "scents" that our European cousins seem to favor.  (Someone once warned me: Never, ever, get into an elevator with a bunch of husky Russian men, attired in ill-fitting suits!)

I remember watching a movie awhile back with Sally Field who starred as the wife of an Iranian/American Doctor who reluctantly goes to Iran with her husband to visit her husband's family.  Being Americans, (not to mention the hot temperatures of that country) the couple take at least 2 or more showers everyday.  The husbands' relatives all find this amusing & laugh each time they see one or the other exit the shower. When Sally Field asks her husband what's so funny about taking showers, he tells her that in Iran, people only take showers after they have sex, and seeing that they take mutiple showers a day.....Well, you get the idea.
I remember thinking to myself, what the heck do the very elderly do then??[hdscrt]

Cassandra,

The name of that flick was "Not Without MY Daughter."  If Dan Curtis had done a DS spinoff of that film, he probably would have entitled it "Not Without My Leviathan Child."

...and speaking of wearing the same ol' outfit, how about the attire that both Angelique and Eve never took off?  1st of all, what the hell are they?  Evening gowns? lingerie?  What?

PEACE TO ALL!!!!

I'm not sure about Angelique's flowing frock, but I believe that Eve's horrendous costume was part of a failed line of HookerWear from K-Mart!
