But there was so much stage haze: it was so unrelenting that eventually, the venue’s fire alarm went off mid-song. And what was with Joyce’s sherry? It looked like squash to me, or even worse, urine – no wonder everyone else, including her own husband, refused it when offered. Still, the cast is very good, as is the score and the witty lyrics, and it’s a heart-warming and pleasant show.

If you happen to be a writer, artist, musician, inventor, or anyone with creative leanings, you'll really grasp this angle. Even if you're not in those fields, you'll still grasp the story of a person who finds pure passion and will do anything to keep it. There's a reason there is so much chemistry between these two.. they made a massive film together full of a complex love and it's wonderful to watch the way the director intended.. It would be better if they offered both versions for discussion. I would love to see a very talented editor get his hands on this film, just for fun. Für den frühen Abend waren Gewitter angesagt, aber der Himmel blieb blau und der Wind hatte nachgelassen " ~was für ein Anfang... Einfach feierbar. Betty ist und bleibt ein einzigartiges Buch.

That’s when things start to look very dark. You start strong; you power through every day with optimism. When that day ends without accomplishment, you hold on for tomorrow. Tomorrow comes, and the story repeats itself. Slowly you begin to unravel. Disappointment leads to tunnel vision; the ‘thing’ becomes the only thing on your mind. It is a disease, and it is all that is important. You ask yourself, “how do I succeed?”“What am I doing wrong?”“Why am I being punished?” You neglect the good people around you and fail to see the joy in what you already have. Betty absorbed this more strongly than most. After sending Zorg’s manuscript to every publisher in town, she waits patiently for the moment of reward to come. Day after day. Nothing.

Lancashire plays Joyce much warmer than Maggie Smith, which in some ways highlights the tonal difference between the show and the film. Anyone who can play a sexy, house-proud Northern matriarch whilst singing big, show-stopping numbers, all the while adding an emotional heart, a dry wit and a beautifully composed showbiz smile, gets my vote!

A middling edition that delivers an okay but dated high-definition presentation, and supplements made up entirely of archival material and features made for previous editions.
