Smike

[miasmum]

has anyone ever seen the above? I remember watching the musical Smike with my mum, in 1973 (apparently) and absolutely loving it. I have never seen it since but it is based on Dicken's Nicholas Nickleby.

I remember the actor who played Nicholas being a man named Leonard Whiting and oh how I thought he was the most handsome man I had ever seen. So I decided to so some Googling and it would appear Leonard Whiting is considered the most beautiful actor to play Romeo ever.

Now bearing in mind I was 10, I think I knew a beautiful man when I saw one when you look at this

Oh gosh!!!! I saw him in Romeo and Juliet when I was about 12.............my knees went to water but I didn't understand why at the time

[Diflower]

He was a huge pin-up when I was at school. Not for me though, to pretty

[Kaz]

No I'm not keen on pretty myself these days, but there was a time..........

[Lozzles]

I loved him back in the day

A bit too pretty for me too but my friend fell totally in love when we saw Romeo And Juliet at school when we were studying it for O Level
