Yes, very good book, I've read it a few times. Gregory Peck in the film IIRC - actor or cockney rhyming slang?

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
A thought-provoking film: hilarious and troublesome at the same time.

Rabbit-proof Fence
One of the most shocking and moving films I have seen for a long time.

It's an utterly brilliant piece of film-making isn't it?

Yes it certainly is. I first saw it a few years ago, but seeing it again tonight on BBC4 made me realise what a powerful fim it is.Originally Posted by The Grand Wazoo
Shocking, for revealing the totally misguided and racist policy practised in Australia, only to be discontinued as late as the 1970s. And moving - well, I was close to tears watching it again!

I didn't know it was being shown tonight, or I would have watched or recorded it.

Surely you should know by now that it would be very foolish to rely on me for anything!
