    To think that back in the 1920s this kind of thing actually happened and there were people (?) like these, mind boggling.

    Ain't she nice, she walked by once or twice, ain't she sweet,
    so let me ask you confidentially...... ain't she sweet,,,,
    la da de da da da,,,,, ain't she nice she'll swing around once or twice
    so let me confidentially ask you ain't she nice.................
    That's the beginning song,,,,
    the tune that's playing in the very beginning
    and probably from 1920 !!!!

    It’s much more faithful than Bright Young Things...but they do leave out some of the best bits!
    Such as - 'Anyway, you've had some fun out of it, haven't you... or haven't you?'
    'Haven't you?'
    'My dear, I never hated anything so much in my life... still, as long as you enjoyed it that's something.'
    Or these -
    Nina said à propos of the film, 'All this fuss about sleeping together. For physical pleasure I'd sooner go to my dentist any day.'
    Adam said, 'You'll enjoy it more next time.'
    Nina said, 'Next time,' and told him that he took too much for granted.
    Adam said that was a phrase which only prostitutes used.
    Or this...
    ‘...Why, yesterday, they kept Miss La Touche waiting the whole afternoon, and then the light was so bad when they did shoot her that they made a complete mess of her--we had the machine out and ran over all the bits carefully last night after dinner--you never saw such rotten little scraps--quite unrecognizable half of them. We didn't dare show them to her husband--he'd be sick to death about it--so we just cut out a few shots to keep and threw away the rest. I say, you're not feeling queer, are you? You look all green suddenly. Find the weed a bit strong?'

      Why? It was written in the 1920s. A century ago. Different times, different attitudes, different values. If you don't have the backbone to face up to our past then just switch it off and go listen to some sanitised talentless twaddle written this year.

      @@lesleydavies1293 VALUES ARE THE SAME, ATTITUDES ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE TIMES IT WAS WRITTEN IN. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE LIVED THE EXPERIENCE.. I DID LISTEN TO THIS WORK HAS I DO EVERY WORK I HAVE AN EQUAL INTEREST IN. STILL FOUND IT THE SAME NOW AS I DO NOW, FOR THOSE WHO ARE WRITING 'NOW'. THIS IS MY OPINION

      @@lesleydavies1293 YOU KNOW, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOICE MY OPINION AND CONSIDERING THAT IT WAS WRITTEN OVER 100 YEARS AGO. ITS JUST SAD THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I HAVE THE BACKBONE, I HAVE LIVED IT THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE LIFE. MAKING A POINT OF NOTING HOW MUCH WE STILL LIVE IN A RACIST SOCIETY IS ADDRESSING WHAT IS WRITTEN THEN AND THE MINDSET OF THOSE STILL NOW GRACING THE PAGES. I AM BEING MINDFUL OF NOT OFFENDING. THAT IS MY POINT. TO BE QUITE FRANK. I HAVE ACCEPTED THAT NOTHING CHANGES..MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL AND SOME HAVE FACE UP TO THE CONSTRUCT THAT IS CALLED RACISM... TELLING ME TO 'SHUT-UP' TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR ATTITUDE THAN WHAT THE BOOK DOES. EVEN IF YOU HAVE A VALID POINTTO MAKE. I DO ALSO; UNTIL YOU HAVE LIVED IT, YOU CANNOT IN 100 YEARS FEEL AND KNOW THE EXPERIENCE OF WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SEE IT. BACKBONE. ONLY THOSE WITHOUT A SPINE CAN SPIN IT AND MAKE IT BE ACCEPTABLE IN THESE TIMES.
      SANITISED TWADDLE ARE WRITTEN AT SOME DEGREES AND CERTAIN LEVELS. IT ALL GOES TO THE MINDSET OF THE INDIVIDUALS - THEY TOO HAVE THAT RIGHT...

      Queen Ashantee Why are you shouting? I haven't said you can't have your opinion I have said that things written a century ago reflect those times and sensibilities. Not NOW. I cannot believe you are so naive to say things haven't changed. Do some research, also try living in a few other countries around the globe then you'd know what racism is. Sixty years ago you would see signs in the UK saying No Blacks, No Irish, No dogs. Are you seriously suggesting nothing has changed? There is still racism around but to say nothing has changed is fatuous. Are you also going to say nothing has changed for women? Well, I can assure you it has. Sadly due to all the virtue signalling and so called SJWs it is beginning to regress. Is that what you want? Best take Morgan Freeman s advice. "If you want o stop racism. Stop talking about it "
