I think this site would be good for members to let us know what movies they have seen recently and to give it a STAR rating.

Yesterday I saw the movie "Ladies In Black". What a great show. It told the story of a young girl who had just completed the Leaving Certificate and wanted to go to Uni. She took a part time job in a department store, Goode's. This is where she meets the "ladies in black". The scene was set in 1959 when the impact of European migration was about to change Australia forever. Scenery was terrific and the old Trams rattling down the streets of Sydney. I was taken back to a old time era which I loved. Fashions were true to the times.

I give it a ***** star rating.

I'm sure you'll like it Cats - as Robi said "Grinned all the way through it". I did see the stage production at Star City last year. It was a musical and it was just great, it got a standing ovation.

Hi Cats - The book "The Ladies in Black" was written by Madeleine St. John. You'll love it Cats - I remember one scene in the Film where they are having a Coffee in Repins Coffee Lounge. It looked exactly the same in real life, this is where I tasted my first Coffee. Enjoy.

I think the book is called “The Women In Black”. They changed it to “Ladies” for the movie.

KB - It's what they call a chic-flick movie. I'm sure your daughter would like it. My son, who is now 50 saw

it last week and told me to see it as he knew it was was from my era. Haven't heard a bad word about it.

KB I think your daughter would love it because it’s a delightful film regardless of whether you identify with the era or not.
