BBC viewers are putting Adam Sandler on blast for repeatedly touching Claire Foy’s upper knee during a taped interview on “The Graham Norton Show.” Sandler appeared on the program opposite Foy, his “The Meyerowitz Stories” co-star Emma Thompson, and model-actress Cara Delevingne, and he made Foy visibly uncomfortable when he placed his hand on top of her knee. When she removed his hand, Sandler ignored her request and put it right back.
Foy and the other guests awkwardly laughed off the encounter and the interview continued, but BBC viewers didn’t let Sandler off the hook.
Adam Sandler has no social awareness of how awkward he seemed to be making Emma Thompson and Claire Foy #stoptouching #GrahamNorton pic.twitter.com/fKNin1aAof

Chicago – Norman Jewison’s 1971 adaptation of the Broadway smash “Fiddler on the Roof” offers a textbook example of the best possible way to make a musical for the big screen. It came out at a time when movie musicals were quickly becoming a dying art form, and yet Jewison somehow managed to avoid all the mistakes that marred so many other filmmakers.
His first excellent decision was to avoid casting any big names. Topol was a 35-year-old actor who first played the main role of Tevye in a 1967 West End production. In the massive array of extras contained on this sensational 40th anniversary Blu-Ray edition, Jewison claims that he utilized clipped fragments of his own graying hair to age his preferred leading man. Yet the director’s efforts were obviously not in vain. Topol turned out to be such an indelible choice that it’s practically impossible to think of anyone else in the role.
