With the onset of Spring one's mind tends towards romance. Whilst the Pen has little time for the modern world of cybersex and infidelity, one might spend a moment musing on recent cinematic lovers.

So what couples make you smile and think fondly of love? Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado?   Not a classic perhaps, but we loved Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson together. And on the topic of Shakespearian drama, we must include Lady Viola and young Will himself in the wonderous Shakespeare in Love. Some may be surprised at my including Charles and Sebastian from Brideshead Revisited but really, there was a special first love. And Pride and Prejudice again; but how can you ignore Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy? We could go Hollywood for Harry and Sally (When Harry Met Sally) or pause to think of the unlikely combination of Vivian and Edward in Pretty Woman (apologies to the feminists in our audience). Or shall we rhapsodize about Charles and Carrie in Four Weddings. The Pen would not, since Andie MacDowell came so close to ruining that film! Perhaps some Italian romance is in order. Let's consider Moonstruck, with the talented Mr. Cage as Ronnie (who should have stopped acting whilst he  was up) and the incomparable Cher as Loretta.

After all these fond recollections if there were a Mrs. Pen she'd be getting dinner and a movie!
