    I happened to catch this on IMF one afternoon two years ago. It was an early vehicle for Minnie Driver as well as a very well done short film. I would love to know where to get a copy, I have tried everywhere. If anyone out there knows, please give an e-mail!

    Alan Cumming has it on his bloody website!!! Been looking for a copy of this for 30 years! Was 15 when I first saw it and never forgot it - lovely little short film. Can't beleive it on its website - in its entireity.

    I really hope Raynor-4 sees this!

    "That Sunday was written and directed by Dan Zeff. It starred me and Minnie Driver as an unlikely couple. An unlikely and very goofy couple. That Sunday is a short film."

    He plays a character very like Bernie from Bernie and the Genie - a sort of Proto-Bernie if you will. Juts a lovely little character study - and she's - well very like Minnie Driver.

    Whilst having a shave one morning, "Stanley" (Alan Cumming) starts to regale us with the story of the demise of the relationship between his friend "Rachel" (Minnie Driver) and "James" which is then picked up by her telling her side of the story and adding a little critique of the hapless "Stanley" of whom she's become quite fond - in an affectionately platonic fashion. Even when they ended up sharing the same bed there was no sex: no insecurities or jealousies - or maybe it's precisely because these feelings did exist and nobody knew how to do anything about them? Anyway, she goes on to meet other men whom he had little good to say about. When she makes that special connection with "Mark" (Vince Leigh) and spots her confidant on the street one evening, she wants to introduce them but he goes through some almost slapstick manoeuvres to avoid her. The penny drops. He is in love! She is in love? Their relationship suffers, they no longer click. Truth will out? Well maybe not over the phone when she's a mouthful of toothpaste. Mixed messages and so a face-to-face ensues, and, well "what's meant to be will come to be"! The imagery struggles to keep pace with the dialogue here, but both actors come across as really quite natural with their on the move piece-to-camera work and though just a bit long, its quite entertaining.
