A bit of fun

Post by englishangel »

My husband and his brother are currently texting each other with films where you drop one letter of the title to make a new name. Good for lovers of "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".

Here are a couple to get you started.

The LIon, The Itch, and The Wardrobe
Casio Royale (Prince Charles's watch?)

Like the one about the brewery "The Canterbury Ales" or the medical drama "One With the Wind" . Then there's the one set in a Cathedral "All Quiet on the Western Font". Political drama: "West Side Tory". The life story of a sailor: "A Tar is Born".

This sounds like the regular cartoon feature in The Literary Review, called Illustrations to Unwritten Books. This month's features a stout lady of morose countenance in Georgian dress, behind a steering wheel, captioned "Northanger Cabbie".
