Dear Nenne,
Thank you so much for the suggestion!

I was able to find the whole film on YouTube:
Nat has an *amazing* American accent! I mean it's just pitch-on! He has the point of articulation completely, and I'm very picky about British actors "doing" American accents. (Plus, his dance moves are *very* smooth.) How wonderful to see Bill Nighy too, as a younger actor, and Charles Grey.
The play reminded me of reading Peter O'Toole's autobiography,
Loitering With Intent: The Apprentice, where in parts he talks about his carousing with friends. I remember Dad too, and his friends in England, being able to drink quite a lot without getting paralytic. I found it odd that they socialized in a pub, and they found it odd that I didn't drink and felt uncomfortable in one.
I guess it's just the difference between a European attitude towards drink and our "American Puritanism". Not that people don't get drunk here, but the whole club/pub scene isn't prevalent. Bars aren't considered nice places on the whole -- at least not by me with my German Baptist upbringing. Perhaps I've missed out on a whole bunch of fun. Although, I did survive liver cancer, so it was lucky for me I was a teetotaler, or so said my doctors.
Anyway, a *wonderful* suggestion, I enjoyed watching ABSOLUTE HELL, and recommend it to everyone here! Thank you so much!!!
Cheers,

Lynn
