Subject: RE: Obit: Film Critic Barry Norman (1933-2017)
One of by all-time broadcasters ever
The BBC naused up the programme when they put Jonathon the Tosser in charge
I was at the the premier of The Killing Fields at the NFT when Norman, along with others, contributed - an unforgettable night.
First Puttnam spoke, then Roland Joffe, then the main actor and finally the man the film was based on, Dith Pran -
We all left bumping into the walls - completely drained
I love good films and even indifferent ones give me a buzz!!
