I'm sure Chris has, but Kate saw the British version from the 70's
starring Timothy 'James Bond' Dalton as Heathcliff, who I've always
preferred in the role myself...I never bought Olivier as a gypsy.

Yes, but wasn't this only a two-strip process?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if KaTe's ref to The Red Shoes was
to the Powell and Pressberger film of the same name.  I guess we'll
know more in another week.  And I can't believe after how many years
of these Prince rumors, HE shows up on HER album!  I, for one, am
looking forward to it.
