Default Miss Potter
Watched this biographical drama on the life of Beatrix Potter last week, and the IMDb's description of it as "an interesting feel-good" movie just about hits the mark. It's a charming, beautifully filmed and well-acted piece (Renee Zellweger has been nominated for a Golden Globe), and although some aspects of the story may have been glossed over, it's a film that deserves to do well. Basically, I was entertained by it and came out of the cinema with a much greater knowledge of Beatrix Potter's life. A qualified success in my book.

Regards
Phil Turner

The other thing spoiling the veracity of this biopic for me is that the real Miss Potter did actually bear a striking resemblance to a top British leading actress.
Unfortunately Margaret Rutherford is unavailable.... http://www.lib.fit.edu/pubs/libraryd...er-200x320.jpg
Bit of a Bay Window, what??

She can probably afford it Marky and have some cash left over - she'll need it if she wants to live in this overcrowded; over taxed country!!
