[bit.listserv.cinema-l] She-Devil

    Have any of you seen the she-devil? Why is Roseanne Barr supposed to be the
she-devil? At most she acted like an angel of revenge. I believe her husband
was the real devil.

I Did not see the MOVIE SHE-DEVIL, nor did I read the book it was based
on (The Lives and loves of a She-Devil) But I did watch the BBC TV
MiniSeries on A&E! It was wonderful, I believe it was a much closer
interpritation than the film! For one thing, it was not a comedy!
I was a very twisted story about manipulation and desire... From
what I know of the film, it before 1/4 of the Book and series are
done! I other words the film is only the first few chapters of the
book! and most immportantly the very unnerving ending is missing!
If you can see the BBC Series!

I saw she-devil and was non-plussed, my wife liked it more
than I did...
It cast a pall over the after-movie meal. I don't think I laughed
anywhere except when the house was rigged to blow up.
