THE THREE LIVES OF THOMASINA (1963) *** It's an intersection where cats and kids, and bears and deer and badgers, and funeral processions and medicine prayer, and mysticism and humility, and doctors and witches and science and faith, and lightning and rain and Scottish accents that are true, and laughter and tears and bagpipes and preachers and rumours and servants and fish marketers, and Patrick McGoohan and Susan Hampshire and Karen Dotrice and cying little girls and Don Chaffey and kings, and memory and loss, and interior feline monologues and policemen at attention, and gypsies and a circus and patience and love and brawling...it's a point where all these things come together. And they lived happily ever after. And so will you.
