Nope. Great actor, but not what I'd call 'sexy'. More 'avuncular and friendly'.

"Trust me, I'm a doctor...!"

What, even in I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) ?

Have never been able to sit through all of IKWIG. Too much 'Celtic Twilight' romanticism.

"Trust me, I'm a doctor...!"

Dame Starry

Surely a man knowing where he's going is a novelty in itself!

OK, so he's not British - but he was totally gorgeous in Flashdance and, apparently, is very good at tapestry work!

Far be it for me to be criticising a lady's taste in men, but what with him and James Blunt, have a word with yourself girl, you can do better.....

Bit of a Bay Window, what??

Steve Crook

Nice. But it's the heroine (Wendy Hiller) who thinks she knows where she's going, until she meets Roger Livesey. Livesey's character always knew where he was going.

Steve Crook

Ah, but it's beautifully done 'Celtic Twilight' romanticism

Dame Starry

I hold my hands up - OK, I've never seen that one.........but then, you can always trust a man to ruin a woman's plans - it's the story of my life; I was doing swimmingly until I discovered men.

Yes, after 7 years old, it was downhill all the way............

Oh, bless you, penfold!
Blunty's my sensitive, pretty, young poet - he's only a couple of years older than my son. (In fact, according to some reports, he's YOUNGER!)
Nouri was gorgeous in Flashdance and, maybe one or two other things since - but that's all.

I've been a very happy born-again virgin for many years now with no plans to convert. The only one who could possibly make me think twice would be John Carlisle - but I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm not only barking up the wrong tree with him - I'm in the wrong forest altogether!

Don't worry about me, penfold - my feet are firmly on the ground and the marbles are all still in place if, somewhat, a little loose!

But who was he dancing with?
There were 3 people that danced the famous audition scene.

Sharon Shapiro was one of three dance doubles used in the famous audition scene. She is a record-holding UCLA champion, having won all four events plus the all-around at the 1980 National Championships. She also won the national title for the Vault and the all-around in 1981. In the audition scene, Marine Jahan does the dancing, Shapiro dives through the air, and Crazy Legs does the breakdancing.

It's one of the great B&W romance movies. Many people have said it has changed their lives

Steve

Dame Starry

I didn't say he DID dance, Steve; I just said he looked gorgeous - which he did!
Whoever did the dancing, some of it was quite stunning - especially the dancing in the club.

But I always thought it sad that Sunny Johnson, who played Jennifer Beal's ice-skating sister in it, died the following year aged only 30.
