I saw it on Broadway with Laura Linney as Merteuil, which was a spectacularly bad piece of casting. It was a pretty terrible production.
Jealous of the Rickman viewing.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Hey. New board.
That's the one!
ETA: I actually hated all three performances of that role. Though Cecilie is a pretty poorly written character, so it may not be their fault.

I saw that on Broadway with Alan Rickman as Valmont.
Boy, I'd give a great deal to have seen that.
plus that adaptation whose name is slipping my mind

C.K. Dexter Haven (You have unexpected depth!) I can't recall if Crosby's character was named the same in High Society. He should have been -- it's a GREAT name.

Yes, she calls him Dex. I don't know if that's used in Philadelphia Story.

I like High Society well enough, but Philadelphia Story is in another league altogether.
