Only fools are enslaved by time and space.

Once upon a time, last century, all people were hairy.
shareI know.

Her character lived a long way from any waxing salon. In the late 1960s women did not try to be attractive to gay men.
share...she was hairyShe was at that, but living the kind of hippy lifestyle she was doing, having hairy legs etc. wouldn't be in the slightest bit unusual. share
yes, she's quite appealing.
shareSaw this film and Wow! Incredibly hot when young.
The way I see it, is that we weren't retreating, we were just attacking in a new direction.
I'll tell you was a total babe: the practically naked guy with the boat!
shareI'll tell you was a total babe: the practically naked guy with the boat!That's Harold Hopkins. I looked him up here and was happy to see I could catch him in a rerun of BeastMaster made 32 years after AoC. He was 57 and NOT wearing much more than he did in that boat!
add me to that line of dancers! lol
shareAlthough I think Mirren became sexier as she got older, I've never seen such a remarkably munchable ass on a white woman before. Must have some Brazilian ancestors. Mason is in great shape, too. Most actors of his era really let themselves go. I have to hand it to Powell for ending his career on such a warm and faniciful note, unlike Hitchcock who totally crapped out at the end. If you look at a lot of his pictures many are all about women symbolizing artistic inspiration. Just like the great French impressionists Cezanne, Degas, Renoir, Matisse.... white women today haven't got that same kind of deep pull over men.
shareTotally agree. Brown skiiiiin ladies is where its at.
anne-marie, do the interns get glocks?

The movie is "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.
It is a very good movie that is quite hard to find. Used copies are sold on Amazon.com and Ebay for upward of $50.
In that movie Helen Mirren shows everything she has from both sides and looks quite appealing. I agree with the contributor who said she's a voluptuous gal, and she's from a time when women didn't bikini wax their nether regions. She has always had big boobs, and she is one of the few actresses who has not lost her looks with age.
I just went shopping around for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover and they are sky high expensive in NTSC Region 1 versions! Like, $75 - $135!! Yikes!
Why has this movie not gotten a re-issue on DVD? It sounds as though the demand is there, or, at least it is highly valued.
Check it out at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IZNIV4/papas-20
You get another great movie alongside it

Hi Steve, and thank you for your reply!
Yes, I have both of those movies. I was wondering about "The Cook, The Thief..." which seems to be prohibitively expensive here in the U.S.
One of my other favorites by Powell is Black Narcissus.
Ah, I misunderstood which one you meant by "this movie".
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover is available from Amazon France for just 30 Euros (plus postage), that's just about US$40.
But you would have to have a player that can play a region 2, PAL format DVD. You could probably play it in the DVD player in a PC or laptop
Steve
Yeah, I've resorted to buying R2 discs when all else fails. I will, for the time being, hold out hopes for a U.S. R1 release on DVD.
shareHelen Mirren is superbly HOT in this flick. Sometimes she is compared to Glenn Close in beauty and acting skills. Next to Dame Mirren, Ms. Close looks like a wet, warped standup cardboard cutout.
Cheerio!
Wear your bikini to a Flea Circus.
I think that the most beautiful, and erotic scene in this film is the one where Cora (Helen Mirren) is alone in her hut. She takes off her dress, lets down her hair and admires herself in the mirror, realising the power she has as a woman.
Nothing is said, nothing needs to be said. It's just a beautifully acted and beautifully filmed scene
Steve
She has been one of the sexiest women on screen at every stage of her life. Just as sexy now. She just has that....something, without needing to be overt about it.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Agreed. Helen Mirren was very sexy and luminous as the carefree and dynamic Cora.
