Subject: Morris side in a Hollywood film ??? From: Mr Red Date: 18 Mar 09 - 06:48 PM "the Man Who Knew Too Little" best described as a farce. Bill Murry doing a Bill Murry comedy. Good (of it's kind). BUT in one episode they had Russian dancing and British (Morris) dancing displays. The Morris side had a livery that looked remarkably like "Hammersmith Morris" but try as I might I could find no credits and I paused the video several times. So does anyone know if the vaguely familiar white bearded morris dancer and the ginger haired one et al - really the "Hammers"? The bit of Morris that was seen was a good example (of it's kind). |
Subject: RE: Morris side in a Hollywood film ??? From: GUEST, topsie Date: 18 Mar 09 - 08:55 PM There were members of more than one side - those who could get the time off for filming - with kit put together for the film. Some were from Pilgrim Morris frm Guildford. (I think it has already been mentioned in a thread on morris in films.) |

Subject: RE: Morris side in a Hollywood film ??? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Mar 09 - 11:48 AM Elstree and Pinewood are practically suburbs of Hollywood... probably more films made/produced/finished there than actually in Hollywood. I just want to know why the adverts below here are for Belly dance dress and cheap Bellydance store... Wrong sort of belly methinks.... LTS |

Subject: RE: Morris side in a Hollywood film ??? From: Folkiedave Date: 19 Mar 09 - 12:58 PM Sheffield City Morris were in a film called "Heartlands" with Kate Rusby. We ended up on the cutting room floor - but no matter £50.00 a head and all the catering van food (which was good) you could eat. Sat around boozing all day. It was fun. |
Subject: RE: Morris side in a Hollywood film ??? From: GUEST,Mr Red Date: 23 Mar 09 - 06:10 AM Morris all day boozing? Surely not. And how many of you went to the Lee Strasbourg school of acting? Yes I saw the film on Film4 and recognised a few beards and the baldricks were Hammershith(ish). Even from many sides the dancing (such as we saw) was good enough to say they had practiced - so it was not like real life then. |
