It was also notable for other reasons: the adulterous romance between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the time and money spent (Taylor got a million dollars for her participation), the somewhat risqué (for the time) bath scene, the changing of directors, the start-over with a new cast in Italy after the film had begun shooting in the totally inappropriate English climate, the movie’s architect and producer Walter Wanger forbidden by 20 th Century-Fox to attend the premiere. Rhonda Fleming was the low-budget Serpent of the Nile (1953), which might be worthwhile just to see Raymond Burr as Marc Antony! The scale of the 1963 version of Cleopatra put these predecessors in the shade. (“There’s no room in Rome for both Octavian and me!” cried Henry Wilcoxon’s Marc Antony, hardly distinguishing it from a western.) In the literate but somewhat set-bound and slightly dull 1945 version of George Bernard Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra, Vivien Leigh played the seductress. Claudette Colbert starred as the Egyptian queen in Cecil B. The original “Vamp” Theda Bara played the title role in the silent and now lost 1917 version.

I love these spellbinding romance books that weave together a touch of fantasy romance AND paranormal romance, all wrapped in some wonderful romantic magic.Įven if you aren’t a fan of paranormal or fantasy romance, many recent witch romance books are contemporary romance books with modern-day witches.Įither way, I for one want to read every one of these witch romance books and can’t wait to jump in and get started. Paranormal romance has always been a fan favorite in the romance genre, but have you noticed the trend toward witch romance books?! A lot more than some indie authors have been able to do. The Forgotten Ones was good and it kept my attention. It wasn't really memorable, because I had to look it up to remember the title! It wasn't horrible, just not something I would go out my way to recommend.īut, this review isn't about that book. I am still not totally sure what they are, but I know it has something to do with goddesses & gods in Ireland.I see some that say fairies, some say aliens.So which it is, I am so not sure.But there is a link in here that will talk about The Tuatha Dé Danann.īut, the first book I read was Rua by Miranda Kavi, although I did enjoy that book, I barely made it through the second if I made it at all. This is the second story of The Tuatha Dé Danann that I have read. |
