I just reread your Great Gabbo review a day or so ago and remember thinking, “Were all these images in it before?”
Mystery solved.

I know I’ve read all these reviews before, but I just read them again now that they’ve been reformatted and, um, be-imaged, and when I reread the review of The Unholy Night I noticed something I hadn’t noticed the first time. Though the reason I hadn’t noticed it the first time was because this time your mention of your liking Roland Young as an actor prompted me to be curious what else he had been in and to look him up on the IMDb (which I guess I hadn’t done the first time). I hesitate to bring this up because I don’t want to sound too critical, but I’m honestly curious on whose part the mistake is, and in any case it’s certainly not a major issue… but anyway…
According to the IMDb, Young was born in November of 1887, which would have made him around 41 when the movie was made… but in your review you mention that he was 51 years old. Does the IMDb have his birthyear wrong (certainly wouldn’t be the first mistake they’d made), or was this a slip on your part?

It was Ernest Torrence’s age I mentioned, I think – commenting he was rather old for a “romantic lead”. Have I botched the sentence?

Whoops… no, you’re probably right; I probably remembered it wrong. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go back and check the review before posting my comment because I kept getting a bandwidth error. Which… I still am. (Anyone else, or is it just me?) But even without being able to check the review, I’m willing to admit that I probably just misread or misremembered it.
So, in regards to on whose part the mistake is, the IMDb’s or yours, it appears it is probably option C: the mistake was in fact mine.

OK, I can read the review again now, and yes, you’re entirely right; it was Ernest Torrence whose age you gave as fifty-one. I think I’d recalled it incorrectly because I didn’t expect the doctor to be the romantic lead, and so remembered the sentence as having referred to Lord Montague, which it wasn’t. So… yes. My mistake. Sorry. Should have waited till I was able to check the review to see if I’d remembered it correctly.

EEEEE! That little duck thing, I’d forgotten all about him! With an AXE! Adorable!

Adorable until he cleaves your diving-helmet with it, anyway.
Sigh…would that I could get a shot that clear from the film itself.

Wow. It looks like those #@&^ing Italians have eaten up all your bandwidth for the month already. Again.

Hey, hey, hey, if it wasn’t for “those #@&^ing Italians” none of us would even be here.
Well, I guess not those particular #@&^ing Italians, but you get what I mean.
Sure, okay, we’d still be here, obviously, I just meant that the Italians have provided most of us with our raison d’etre (which isn’t an Italian term).
Look, forget I said anything.
