I'm sorry you've not got the film you'd wish to watch. I hope it's a good celebration in despite.

I watched him in a film I hadn't seen. It worked.

I'm glad!
(Why do I not have a Peter Cushing icon? For the same reason I don't have a Karl Johnson icon, I suppose, or an icon of Ronald Colman after all these years. I should really remedy at least one of these.)
