Classically and weirdly directed by Robert Altman - and a nearly 70 year old Dina Merrill looks fantastically hot. As does a young Greta Scacchi!<br />Thanks for the great discussion <br />~MLouAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-26051020189886370542019-01-12T09:15:04.205-05:002019-01-12T09:15:04.205-05:0035:17 (FWTE)

I never heard of PEPBANDS or POGS, and tried a "z" there (which would have been a great letter at 1), and I erroneously figured that LeCTORS seemed correct at 44A, even though I know that AMARILLO is spelled that way, not with an "e." The rest was fine, although SCACCHI is unknown and, yes, ARIE is terrible. I also never heard of the Grammy-winning group GORILLAZ. I wanted knickerS where BREECHES goes, which slowed me down some, and I put in RANCHER and LISP several times temporarily before finally leaving them both in. SYSTOLE at 36D Cardiac contraction is fantastic. I entered ICEGIANT and ZIRCONIA off of their clues. OVERBORE is a word I'd never use, but it's certainly fair game on a Saturday.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
