In London I lived across the street and frequently spotted him peddling a bicycle through Onslow Gardens and along the Brompton Road. He wore a brown trilby, light mac, and brown brogues. I've not seen the film--in fact have no desire to do so--and have no opinion on the matter. But I will say, anyone who is the target of slippery Ivy League-trained American lawyers can not be an altogether bad chap. I raise my glass of wine to the rakes, cads, and corsairs of the modern world.
During both trials, my sister, who knew them both very well, would only say that "Sunny had a hard time making it downstairs to her own parties."
ReplyDelete(I have no opinion as to the facts.)
Actually, old Klaus was defended by a slippery Ivy League Lawyer and his gratitude to that Counselor should be undying.
ReplyDeleteAncient is correct...Sunny was a very poor social chemist who often got her mix of liquor and pills all wrong...and the resulting stuporous state was legendary.
Love thses pictures....
The movie is quite good...Jeremy does a tremendous job as does Glenn Close...well worth a view.
I don't know what to say about Von Bulow...but that woman dressed from head to toe in leather looks like a frightening harpy.
ReplyDeleteAs a vulgar, slippery Ivy League-trained American lawyer I can tell you that we as a class spend a lot more time and make a lot more money keeping the cads and bounders out of jail than trying to put them in.
ReplyDeleteKlaus pulled none other than Haaaah-vahd's old man Dershowitz out of his pocket.
ReplyDeleteAs an Ivy-rejected cad and hellrake, I avoid courtrooms, hospitals, lawyers and marriage. We as a class prefer to spend our filthy lucre on more leisurely pursuits.
I rounded the corner at St. James one afternoon and literally ran right into Klaus as he was exiting the Ritz. I felt the need to bathe.
