Yes but, Shrinking Violet, if we were to sit down and list all the anachronisms - I winced at one point when he said 'Oh my God' - it would spoil the magic, wouldn't it? On the DVD, there is some production/designer bod saying that it was a deliberate decision to have RA sans cravat in the final scene. Have you read the book? The ending's better, I think.
I have, ahem, watched it quite a few times now (someone has very kindly posted it on Youtube) and that 'look back, look back at me' scene still brings a lump to my throat. So I am immensely grateful to RA for that. Of course, I do still trust that he doesn't spend his weekends stamping on kittens, but that isn't really what matters to me. I wish I'd seen him in the Duchess of Malfi, though. (But as I've learned from all this that he lives quite near me, I live in hope of seeing him at the cheese counter in the supermarket).
