RIP Omar Sharif

[Loopiloo]

How very sad.

Ah yes, those eyes.... you drowned in them, in a nice way....

Aw!!! Doctor Zhivago - sigh. Sherif Ali in Lawrence of Arabia - double sigh!

Wonderful films, Doctor Zhivago unforgettable. A must see classic. I still watch it whenever it is on TV, also my daughter.

Haunting music, and Lara's Theme.... sigh.

The Tamarind Seed is not nearly so well known as some of his others, but to me it was brilliant - a really gripping Cold War thriller. It was also (in)famous at the time for starring Julie Andrews in a non-squeaky-perfect clean role - shock horror - in bed with Omar Sharif! But all so tame by today's standards. He plays a Russian who is suspected of trying to recruit her (working for the Home Office) as a spy. Well worth a little shell-out on Amazon if you've never seen it.

"Nicky Arnstein...here I am"........no really here. Me.I am..
Nicky Arnstein= O S in Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand.

No not stupid
I had to resort to Google when you said that, 'cos thenI knew I was singing it wrong. I'm noted for singing the wrong words, but according to various articles we are both brilliant....some say potato and some say potahto...and both versions of Arnstein are correct or incorrect. Never mind it's still a damn fine movie.

You sing what you like! As you say, it's still a damn fine movie!
