My all-time fave

poem is "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning: the most concise murder mystery ever written. I've often dreamed of writing a screen play, but then consider that it would never hold a candle to the original.

My Fantasy Cast:

The Duke: Alan Rickman
The Duchess: Kate Winslet
Fra Pandolf: Johnny Depp
The Count: Hector Elizondo
The Count's Daughter: Salma Hayek
The Count's Aide (to whom the Duke is speaking): Alfred Molina

Peace,
Amy
