Did you ever see the mid-1960s movie based on "She", starring Ursula Andress?

Also glad that you agree with me about the long conversations in She. It must be true if we both believe it!<br />I've just read another Jerrold, Dead Man's Quarry, which I'll be reviewing next week.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-5752409377017591242015-07-14T23:28:46.459+10:002015-07-14T23:28:46.459+10:00P.S.

I just had to text my husband & tell him "my blogger" agreed with me. We read it out loud together after enjoying King Solomon as well. <br />(Long time reader, second post ever. I do have to tell you that I wind up spending most of my spending money each month-even before the 1st-on books you describe! Currently working through all the British Library Crime Classics, June Wright & Jerrold. Thank you!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
