This movie has quite a following...1935 directed by George Cukor, starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Edmund Gwenn...Sylvia Scarlet
A very off-beat comedy/drama. Widower Henry Scarlett, Edmund Gwenn, gets in trouble with the law in France and escapes to England with his daughter Sylvia, who disguises herself as a boy..Sylvester, to help avoid detection. They join forces with a con man Jimmy Monkley,Cary Grant, then, after a brief career in crime, meet Maudie Tilt, a giddy, sexy c0ckney housemaid who joins them in the new venture of entertaining at resort towns from a caravan. Through all this, amazingly no one recognizes that Sylvia is not a boy.... It is quite an oddity. Everybody hated it when it first came out. Cukor offered to make another movie without pay if RKO would agree to shelve the picture. Cukor would say it was the one embarrassing blot on his and Hepburn's careers. Its Cult status was brought about when it started being shown in the 60's, on college campuses and in Art House theatres... ![]()

I might have a look out for that Oz...
One I got to recommend is Death and the Maiden... Sigorney Weaver and Ben Kingsley... Weaver's character was kidnaped and tortured many years before the movie starts, and is understandably disturbed by this. Her husband then picks up a stranded motorist in a storm, who may or may not be the man who did this to her... What follows is a very tense story and is well recommended...

It's about two hours of an incomprehensible drug ravaged nightmare.....it probably helps to be whacked out your head on smack to make any sense out of it...William Burroughs was when he wrote it!
