One of the most important functions of BoyActors (and Stephen's B.O.Y.S) is to recognise and highlight important boy contributions to movie experiences.  Actually, what they look like is secondary, it's the effect their performance has on us that is my (and, I feel, BoyActors) overriding reason for watching them.  So, watching Alex Pettyfer on UKTV on New Year's Day was a revelation in that here was a boy who was effortlessly beautiful but also a convincing, terrific actor who made you feel the anger and integrity (think about it:  not very easy to portray ) of the character he was playing while also swooning at the beauty he emanated.  What a great start to 2005 and may there be more boy performances to rival Alex's !

Yep, he was very good. It was a good production overall as well - the other lads & Stephen Fry were cool
Also, Joe Beattie, who was in The Browning Version, was pleasantly sadistic as Flashman.

I'd love to see this version, del bosque, and your descriptions make me feel almost as if I had seen it.

The last Tom Brown's Schooldays that I remember admiring was, I think, a Masterpiece Theater version - in the late 70's?? I remember an almost endless parade of breathtaking boys. (with 70's haircuts  )

The imdb link to the version (1971) I referred to:

All the clutter you noticed in the url is due to their new search feature, which allows you to browse from one search result to the next, without hitting the back button and going back to the search results.

For example. Search for Oliver Twist. You get a total of 23 search results. Click on the first one. Now notice that underneath the search box you have something that says "Result: 1 of 23". Underneath this, you have five icons: back, stop, forward, list and help. Use them to navigate through the search results. When you've found the one you were looking for, use the stop icon to get the profile URL without all the extra stuff at the end.

It's a pretty neat feature, but a bit annoying for what it does to the URL.

Thanks Joseph... you are so smart   

I watched some Tom Brown's School Days on 1st Jan (Sat) in a pub would u believe! They had it showing on the TV screen in there! lol I was out with boyfriend at the time... I hope they show it again! Or better still, it might be released on DVD! 

Thanks for that Cal!
