According to my copy, Twelfth Night was produced by Branagh but directed
by Paul Kafno.  And surely Branagh is actually in Dead Again - as both
the present detective and the dead man in the past.  Incidentally, I am
a big fan of our Ken (though I didn't like Frankenstein), ever since I
saw him in a wonderful little movie called A Month in the Country.  Much
Ado is on my list of favourite movies (in spite of Michael Keaton).  I
think Richard Brier's Polonius might be the best interpretation of that
character I have ever seen.

I've seen Branagh playing 'Hamlet' on stage at Stratford and all his
film performances and he always seems to be Ken playing Ken playing
well...Ken. His 'Frankenstein' wasn't bad, though...Mary McNally
