Shameless self-promotion

The Healing Fountain

or

The English Aristocrat’s Gentleman’s Gentleman’s Gymslip Lover

Mentone, 1932. An English schoolgirl stands upon the threshold of womanhood. Her beloved father is dead, her mother cold and distant. Amidst the tinsel glamour and loose morals of the Riviera resorts, who can heal her wounded soul and teach her to love again?

Starring Douglas Fairbanks as David Harland and introducing Hilary Thorpe as Sarah Wytham, The Healing Fountain is the motion picture event of 1937.

Coming soon to a screen near you!

Oh yes! I do hope you mean "soon" as in "this evening" rather than in the Aslan sense.

I do like a bit of tinsel glamour...

Ooh! I shall look forward to this. (And I love the subtitle).

*happiness* I have popcorn!

A definite incentive to translate faster (2 end of day deadlines to go).

I hope that's in the balcony.

Yes. Or possibly tomorrow morning. But I also promise not to take all fanfic that I approve of and say that it is Wimsey fanfic even if it were intended to be about My Little Ponies.

Mills and Boon titles make everything better.

Popcorn? Gin and It, surely!

[identity profile] pashazade.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
More of a Gin and French girl, so long as there's a helluva lot more gin than french. *lurches at Bunter*

Well it won't be up before the end of the (work) day! (And possibly until the morning, depending on how the final read-through and format goes.)

[identity profile] azdak.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Tomorrow morning would also be all right, as long as it doesn't go up immediately before I have to leave for work, causing me intense frustration and hence much wailing and gnashing of teeth.


I also promise not to take all fanfic that I approve of and say that it is Wimsey fanfic even if it were intended to be about My Little Ponies.


You may sneer, but if you ask me The Attenbury Emeralds might have called itself Wimseyfic, but it was accepted by Tash.

I vary proportions according to whether there's an r in the month myself.

Bunter thanks madam for the compliment, but must attend to his lordship's cufflinks.

Ooo-er!

Waiting with bated breath.

[identity profile] nineveh-uk.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It is as rich in ooo-er as I can make it for 1937 ;-)

[identity profile] nineveh-uk.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Given the time you get up and go to work, I would think that highly unlikely. Though I was awake from 5:20am this morning after a dream about zombies. Again. I really must learn not to read about zombies.

TAE is definitely of the party of Tash.

Ooh ooh ooh!

Hilary Thorpe as Sarah Wytham

Is it really that way round?

[identity profile] adina-atl.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh goodie!

[identity profile] nineveh-uk.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Given that Mervyn Bunter isn't playing Douglas Fairbanks...

[identity profile] wellinghall.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well quite!

Aha. This makes up for my work book club drink and gossip evening being postponed.

Bunter thanks madam for the compliment, but must attend to his lordship's cufflinks.

I'm....I'm....awfly shorry Bunter. I jusht wanted to ekshperiensh your....*healing fountain*.

Well symbolic fountains are canon, you know.

Disappointing - hope you get to catch up with it.

[identity profile] pashazade.livejournal.com 2011-05-25 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
WHERE? Good Lord, don't tell me that I missed that page of Busman's Honeymoon!

[identity profile] nineveh-uk.livejournal.com 2011-05-26 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. The scene when H & P have gone for a drive and are sitting on a bench by the churchyard.

(There's also one in Clouds of Witness, but that's more of a comment on the awfulness of real public sculptures.)

Thank you. I admit I'm especially pleased you felt that the voices worked after such close contact with the origibal.
