El Loro posted:I saw a trailer on BBC1 about the film "Florence Foster Jenkins" which they will be showing some time. (Meryl Streep/Hugh Grant) Biopic of an American heiress well known in the 1920s, 30s and into the 40s who had pretensions of being a great opera singer even though her singing was not good, and some even regarded her as the worst opera singer in the world.
I don't know if Orson Welles had her in mind in his film Citizen Kane. In the film, he virtually bullies Susan, one of his wives in it, to being an opera singer. This is the result:
I've come across that late at night El several times just before nodding off and it was quite amusing in parts. I'll keep my eye out for the full BBC airing
