Thank you, John.
You know, it's been so long--16 years--since I saw Gosford Park that the only cast members I remembered off the top of my head were Dame Maggie and Clive Owen (first thing I ever saw him in), so I took a look, and it seems that just about everybody who was anybody was in it.
Also interesting to note that Julian Fellowes was one of the writers. That name would have meant nothing to me 16 years ago, but it does now, even though I never watched you-know-what.

You're welcome Jeff!
Julian Fellowes was the actual writer of Gosford Park. Actor Bob Balaban (who wonderfully played Morris Weissman in the movie he co-produced) wanted to work with Robert Altman, asking if they could do an Agatha Christie who-done-it together. Balaban introduced Fellowes (who had been a somewhat mediocre actor) to Altman. Julian Fellowes wrote the screenplay, but Altman literally MADE Fellowes's career when Fellowes won the Oscar (please note, it was NOT a shared Oscar).
Watch this when you have a chance. It's delightful!

That's good to know, John. I just went with what I saw at IMDb.

I should have spent the weekend catching up on my New Yorkers, but I didn't feel like it, so instead I spent the weekend finishing up one Tony Hillerman Navajo murder mystery and reading an entire Margaret Cole Arapaho murder mystery.
