I was thoroughly engrossed and held by it--all the way. I e-mauled Stewie in Darwin and asked how accurate it was as history. He said it was some accurate and some over the top. At least that's how I'm choosing to say what he might've said. Truth is, my MS does a number on my recent memory and I just am not sure what he said. Knowing him, he'll look in here.

But I'm with Mick and Lizzie on this. As I said, I was willing to go with the flow and beauty of it. Me not knowing the history there, I felt it might be that it is a more real depiction of OZ than was the American western film "Red River" a depiction of western history here. And I like looking at Nicole--even the more mature lady she has become!
