Of Katharines and Kings
Maybe it's because his name rhymes with "Melvis." Maybe it's because he's slimy.
And creepy. Maybe it's because we still talk about him in the present tense.But I get a great deal of joy from the fact that the recent Elvis film marathon on some cable channel was sponsored by Poise pads.
Not by Mustang. Not even by a fast-food burger place. But by a bladder-weakness pad.
In much classier news, I just saw The Lion in Winter (1968), with Katharine Hepburn (and Peter O'Toole, Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton).It contains a fantastic speech from her Eleanor of Aquitaine:
Prince Richard: A knife! He's got a knife!!
Eleanor of Aquitaine: Of course he has a knife. He's always has a knife. We all have knives. It's 1183 and we're barbarians. How clear we make it.
I'm having a Katharine mini-filmfest of ones I haven't seen. Lion in Winter, Stage Door, Glass Menagerie. Bless Netflix.
