    Was it Great expectations or something else where Martitia Hunt was wearing a faded wedding gown and living in a cobweb strewn room where she was 'living in the past' because her husband to be didn't show up for the wedding?

    Was that in colour Cap'n?



    I have this vision of Martitia with a powder white face which wouldn't be apparent in GE so i'm wondering if i have seen Treasure Hunt.

    Nope, b/w. She spends most of the time in a sedan tour imaging she's on her wedding trip. Don't think her make-up is out of the ordinary in that one. It's years since I've seen it but does she have white make-up in The Unsinkable Molly Brown?

    Funny you should say that Cap'n, i've just recieved 'Molly Brown' only last week from the HMV on-line sale, i've not seen it before but i like Debbie Reynolds, then there's the Titanic connection hopefully.



    Sometimes the imagination plays tricks on a person, i tend to get Martitia mixed up with Margaret Leighton, has she ever been made up in the ghostly way described?

    Mark, I thought you might be thinking of her in the colour film The Brides of Dracula (1960), after she has been "vampirised" by her son!

    The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.
