Hi all, <BR> <BR>this is not PRECISELY about travel, but, this book was mentioned (ok, by me) on another thread about "must read books for flights.." <BR> <BR>anyway, it opens TODAY in London... I will be there in one week and you betcha I will be standing in line to see this movie... <BR> <BR>what's the buzz on the street about this movie? If anyone has seen this, fill me in! (OK, so I am slightly premature on that last request - It's only 8 PM over there now after all...) <BR> <BR

in case many of you don't know... <BR> <BR>this book is set in WWII Greece, on a tiny island called Cephallonia. I have friends who have made a detour to see this island while visiting Greece, due to this book. <BR> <BR>ok, tied it up - now it is about travel. <BR> <BR

Beth, I went to their web site and the trailer looks very interesting. I seems to have lovely music too. <BR>I was going to bring this up, but I was leary of being "flamed". It is by the producers of "Shakespeare in Love" which I adored! FYI, Judy

Beth when are you going to London? I'll be there from the 10th. Any chance of getting a fodorites get together in London?

well, XXX, I do not know who you are! Can't make plans to meet up with complete strangers ya know! <BR> <BR>actually, this trip is not 'my own' - I am going to help a friend with an important project, so I have to run everything past her first. <BR> <BR

Beth: I just read a review of the film on the Guardian's web site-www.guardian.co.uk. Sorry to say, it didn't sound very promising. <BR> <BR>Barbara.
