I can't believe that he isn't actually playing the piano. His practicing really paid off!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752666223633131197.post-65949491498799364612023-02-17T20:35:26.819-06:002023-02-17T20:35:26.819-06:00I am old and saw the movie when it came out.

And found an old newspaper article here on the internet stating that the will gave Peter half of the estate, and that Maria was made the executrix on Peter's behalf---Now this all means that I will have to find Peter's book and hopefully it will answer some of my questions......Still, such an amazing movie---Power's magnificent fingerwork held me spellbound.

By the time Eddy turns up, it's not even clear that the baby has been born, and we never even actually see a baby (they couldn't even spring for a doll?). And just before she dies, she flips out about the wind one last time.<br /><br />I haven't got to Eddy's death yet. And while I'm no closer to understanding Marjorie's, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking "WHAAAAT?" <br /><br />Thanks.Boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06953514839682554589noreply@blogger.com
