Why "Divers and Sundry"?
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

I like this Shakespeare kick you are on. Now I don't have time to watch this as the furnace cleaning person is due to arrive and I must get my shower in, but this is one of my favorite plays of his. Anne Tyler wrote a novel based on this story, wish I could remember the title. It's a modern version. I can't say I loved it but lots of folks in my book club did. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteVinegar Girl. I googled it lol And I like her writing, so I'll look for it, thx :)
DeleteI'm still on the Shakespeare kick, but I've decided to schedule them so they're not appearing here so frequently lol I love seeing how different they can be while being exactly the same.
Your surprised me when I saw the title, I thought this was going to be the Burton-Taylor film. Shakespeare talkies! How cool!
ReplyDeletePickford was sooo pretty!
DeleteSomehow I never got into Shakespeare. I'm not even sure we studied him in school. I fear I'm a slug when it comes to his plays. I would never be able to answer any trivial questions involving his works.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the stories on film but not as much reading them. We had to memorize a few passages in school. I wouldn't pass a test on him these days, though.
DeleteMary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks are familiar names from the past. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are fun to watch together.
DeleteThis is a film I remember seeing and I enjoyed it. Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt was new to me. I'm surprised by how many Shakespeare films there are!
DeleteLast night's re-run of the Big Bang Theory had Leonard & Pira quoting from The Taming of the Screw.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves that show. He was sorry to see it end, but I guess it was time.
