Alan Rickman’s Voice Brings All the Girls to the Yard
Manolo says, firstly, how is it possible that the Manolo has never heard of this movie before?
Secondly, this must be counted among the greatest of the Alan-Rickman-based cinematic moments ever.
Thirdly, that voice, it is like the melted butter poured into the brandy snifter filled with warm lobster flesh, while Chuck Mangione plays the Mozart softly in the background.

The Manolo speaks the truth… That group of ladies did not need the giant 18th century group “massager,” just Mr. Rickmans reverberating tones.

Indeed, why have you never asked me for cheesy movie recommendations? I have owned this for many years. It’s now rather difficult to find, as it was not released on DVD for many years and I believe Rickman’s minions have been going around burning the old VHS copies as fast as they can, for obvious reasons.
Can you imagine what he must have been thinking, reading the script? “Oh, what the hell. It’ll pay for a villa in Tuscany!”

There are those of us who would pay money to listen to Mr. Rickman read the London Metropolitan telephone directory. Through a wall. Best Rickman line, from “Sense and Sensibility”: “The air is full of spices..”
You had to be there…

Yes, the Rickman is indeed most scrumptious. Even his lank-haired turn as Severus Snape is worthy of fiery ardour.

The song. Sucks. But the Rickman? Magnificent.

Oh my. I have it now saved in my Netflix Q. Love that man. Have you seen “Something The Lord Made”? Mr. Rickman does fahn Southan accent there.

Alan Rickman makes me weak in the knees, but I can’t say that I want to see any more of this movie. But at least I’ve discovered how he got his role as Snape–he was auditioning for it here.

No wonder Mesmer scandalized the court–he has all these ladies in gowns without their chemises.
