so MANY pretties of TD! i may have to snatch a few! i've always been partial to the TD interpretation of mr. rochester. for some reason he just fits. i know rochester's not supposed to be handsome, but i loved TD when i saw that version at 16. he just made my heart melt. it's a very theatrical production but it is insanely faithful to the book, and so i love it more than any other.
the only actor i can see in the role who might have worked is oliver reed, and sadly he's dead, and i have a feeling his innate sexism and weirdo bossiness might have come through anyhow--so looks-wise yes, a good fit, acting-wise and personality-wise? probably not so much.
drake and his little french chanteuse girls! i guess this is precisely why i can see him liking holden. the song des demain in particular. i see him sitting on a beach in a banana republic somewhere, smoking his cheroot and listening to this strangely compelling little tune after a hard day's work.
i think if drake listened to enough holden he would eventually become a full-fledged romantic and just chuck the service and run away with one of the chanson-singers, eventually.
