A Good Review From The Critics Is

If There Is No Direct Threat Why Are We Invading?

There Were A Few Things That Went Into It. When You're Doing Something You're Trying To Be Your Audience At The Same Time, So If Somebody Tells Me That This Is A Movie About Retired Opera Singers, You Think 'maybe I'll Wait For It To Come To Dvd'. You're Not Rushing Off To See It.

I Think We All Felt It On This Movie - Crew And Cast. You Never Know When You're Making A Movie... No One Is Saying In The Middle Of Casablanca That This Is Going To Be A Classic. The Lead Actors Had Turned It Down And I Think They Wound Up With B-list Actors At The Time.

Tom [courtenay] And Albert Finney Met Ron Harwood On The Dresser, So That's How It Started. It's A Wonderful Documentary. It's Called Tosca's Kiss And Mr Hardwood Told Me About It When I Asked Him What The Genesis Was. It Was Made In 1983 And Verdi, Who Was Rich And Successful, Toward The End Of His Life Decided To Build A Mansion For Himself In Milan, Where He Lived, And He Stipulated That When He Died Opera Singers And Musicians - Because He Knew So Many Who Were No Longer Playing At The Scala And Some Were Poor - Could Live There.

I Love Working, I'd Be Dead If I Hadn't Found Myself As An Actor I Didn't Have To Be Successful.
