This young man has a "Brideshead" quality ; was totally smitten with him.
I just looked and looked at him, like "drowning in honey, stingless" - Maugham's quote dahlings, not mine alas.

Douglas, how I wish we could meet and would treat you to so many Brandy Alexanders.
Such beauty in a young man, it is a sin!
Often the outer beauty in such a young man of class is only the manifestation of a beauty within.

I felt that the film lost all of the comedy, message, and politics that the play, Posh, had. A real shame that the same writer, Laura Wade, could take such an incredible piece of theatre and lose everything that it represented trying to make a film. I was incredibly disappointed after seeing this tonight. The play is on my top three best productions I have see. A mighty shame indeed.
