The fireplace andiron (fireguard) visible in several scenes show a definite resemblance to the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) Peacock logo. It is unknown whether that link is intentional, or if the peacock motif was fashionable at that time. See more »

A breathless unforgettable adventure!
4 March 2001 | by (Belgium) – See all my reviews

I remember I watched this movie a few years back. I always wanted to see the movie again, and I finally did that today. Strange that this movie has alway been on top of my mind...

This movie is amazing! It has everything; comedy, love, adventure.

Shortly after the movie started, your mind will be sucked into the story.

Great!

10 out of 10 from me!
