I will write a post on this later today.Sadly, according to IMDB and an obituary from the Guardian online, another star of the Morse universe has passed away. Directed by Charles Beeson. Interestingly, in the 1950s, she was briefly married to the late great Albert Finney, who passed away earlier this year, a few months after her, in February 2019.Over the last 4 weeks or so I’ve been watching the Morse series from the very beginning. Helpful. S3, Ep4 25 Jan. 1989 Read more. Excellent review as always….. We are making our way through Inspector Morse on Britbox and we end up on this site when something has piqued our interest. Morse says, “Stop being a nursemaid Lewis…Not so deep as a well, and nor so wide as a church door.
All I really want to say is that I’ve found this episode to be by far the best I’ve seen so far, I absolutely loved it! I’ve found the whole thing totally riveting, helped in no small part by your wonderful site. Most often. I thought that might be because that bit was lip synced and the rest of the scenes weren’t. Alas, there is no mention of opera singing in Frances Barbara’s on-line biographies. 46:20. Of course I won’t include the regulars like John Thaw and James Grout. But, twill serve..”Strange that John Thaw looks at the camera at one hour 37 minutes and stranger that they kept the shot in and didn’t retake the scene or edit it out. The ‘voice’ of Nicole is the wonderful Janis Kelly. In that episode, set in Australia, Lewis loves the country while Morse is uncomfortable and outside his comfort zone. The main one behind Claudio Battisti is a Sylverster Stallone film, Cobra. Yes guys, THAT episode). At 12 and a half minutes we are inside Nicole Burgess’s villa. I will probably go back to previous episodes and include an in memoriam section in each one. I learned a couple of things again.The director and camera crew made the most of the beautiful cities of Vicenza and Verona and the luscious scenery that surrounds the two cities. Can Morse “stay out of the byways” as Chief Superintendent Strange so elegantly put it to Morse and go straight for Clark.Frances Barber as Nicole BurgessAt 39 minutes and 38 seconds Nicole Burgess is driving Morse to her house and again we hear the Vivaldi piece.Georges Corraface as Claudio BattistiChief Superintendent Strange decides to send Morse and a reluctant Lewis to Italy to investigate the circumstances surrounding May Lawrence’s death but more importantly to find out if Russell Clark, a convicted fraudster is involved. I later had the pleasure of seeing him on Broadway in “Dracula.”There are two reasons for loving this episode (or four if i’m being crude), the delectable Frances Barber and THAT green top she inadvertently wore back to front. Each episode is better than the previous.
She is the voice in Endeavour singing from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, ‘Un bel de’ (One Beautiful Day).Hi there – as a fan of your site (I am catching up with Morse and I have just overtaken your reviews, unfortunately!)
