Next,

Barefoot in the Park vs. Holiday Inn

 

[SteveGon]

And abstaining we will go...

 

[Lew Crippen]

Holiday Inn --not really that big on either the Neil Simon play being far better than the movie.

 

[Bill McA]

Barefoot in the Park

 

[DavidBC]

Holiday Inn

 

[Brook K]

I've stayed in Holiday Inns and been barefoot in parks, does that count? Oh ok, I abstain

 

[george kaplan]

Holiday Inn wins.

I'm a bit surprised. I've never seen the play, but if Lew is right and it's even better than the film, I hope to see it some day, because I find Barefoot in the Park to be a great movie.

Next,

The Ten Commandments vs. Donovan's Reef

 

[Bill McA]

Donovan's Reef

 

[Brook K]

abstaining without a felafel in my hand

 

[george kaplan]

I'm not sure which is greater. The number of films that Edith Head was designer for, or the number of classic Hollywood films from the Golden Age that Brook hasn't seen. Though to be fair, for every such film he hasn't seen, he has seen two obscure films in Farsi or Tagalog or some such language.

 

[SteveGon]

Hey! I've seen both of these! Unfortunately it's been long that I've gotta abstain...
