I just watched Phaedra for the first time this week. Lots of interesting comments by the other posters, so I won't repeat what everyone else has already said.

I was curious about one thing, though. Did anyone else pick up on the vibe sent out by Phaedra's maid Anna? From the way she stares off into space blankly whenever Phaedra is getting attention from other people, coupled with the few times that she is comforting Phaedra with hugs or back rubs, it seems like Anna has a thing for Phaedra. Does anyone else think the two of them had a lesbian relationship? Phaedra seemed to be able to get anything/anyone she wanted.

The review here by the commenter known as Acerf is certainly long and informative, but he seems to be the only person in this world that doesn't know Sophia's last name is LOREN, not LAUREN. She is only one of the most famous actresses in the WORLD, so I'm not sure how Acerf has missed this little detail. It's not a typo, because the misspelling is done every time.

I just watched this for the first time last night. It's interesting that several reviews her express the notion that "Jill St John starts off feisty, then regresses to a simpering mess."

That also describes her character in "Diamonds are Forever" exactly!

Also, if the point of going there was to verify the professor's claims of seeing dinosaurs on an earlier trip, why do they set their helicopter DOWN ON THE GROUND in the jungle, without more extensive aerial surveying of the limited-area jungle plateau first? Soon after they land, (and scatter from their only means of escape (the helicopter)) the dinosaur attacks (you don't say?) and crushes their chopper. (I could have predicted that before they left London!)

I'll give it a 3 - for eye-candy reasons only.
