Comment: 	Re: SHK 18.0564 Branagh's _As You Like It_

 >Its chief problem was Howard's Rosalind, who could easily have been

 >an every day ingenue.

 >That, apparently, is the Rosalind Branagh prefers. There's no trace in

 >young woman -- clear-eyed even in the throes of love -- who is the
 >central character of Shakespeare's play.
