It is the last episode of a TV series supposed to show the history of France during the reign of Louis XIV. And the episode ends with Louis de Rohan-Chabot, Duke of Rohan, seen abducting Louis, the Grand Dauphin of France.I am aware of the Science - Fiction genre. This episode must belong to a new genre i.e. Historical Fiction or Hi-Fi genre. What bugs me most is that I actually enjoyed the rest of the episodes of this series. But, in my book, a digression this size from historical facts tantamounts to heresy. Having said that, the series should be watched for its depiction of historical figures and the tactics employed by different religious clubs within Europe to attain power.

Inside Men
(2012)
Inspired by The Lavender Hill Mob
10 February 2013
I read all the reviews before deciding to contribute my own.
Did anyone notice that this series is inspired, and in fact, an extended version of the movie The Lavender Hill Mob(1951). Steve Macintosh plays the part of Alec Guinness in this series.
It's good to know that all good things that are old are not eventually forgotten. Kudos to the playwright and producer to decide to make this TV Series.
Having said that, this TV adaptation does justice to the movie. In fact, it is more riveting than the movie itself. Being a TV series, it enjoys the luxury of giving time for each of the characters to develop.
"Look at him. He is human. He is tempted!"
I recommend both the movie as well as the TV version.

Bringing Up Baby
(1938)
Pathetic!
8 December 2012
I think this is one of the most pathetic of Katherine Hepburn's movie I have ever seen. I had a feeling her movies are overrated, but this movie beats them all.
What surprises me is that this movie is in IMDb's top 250 list. How can anybody rating this movie be so oblivious to aesthetic sense.
Depicting comedy or errors is always welcome, but the errors in this movie aren't comical, they get irritating. The plot is as flimsy as they come, twists all repetitive and copied from previous movies. I had to summon all the patience I have got just to get through this movie. One thing I recall wondering most while watching this movie -- Is this lousy movie ever gonna end!
