Dunno, but play your cards right and you might get to see a blonde in a state of 'a/undress'.

I googled it but I confess I'm not literary enough to have read it.

I might have - but I often only realise I've seen a film before after I've watched at least half of it (IYSWIM) because I tend to fall asleep in the boring ones.

I saw it at the proper cinema when I was a mere callow yoof. Ursula quite impressed me. (The sequence where she enters the flame for the second time and ages rapidly and turns into a pile of dust was quite at the time - before all this CGI malarkey).
