Catch Me if You Can, BBC 2 17.20.

A real treat if you haven't seen it before, one of my top 5 of all time. Made me appreciate what a fine actor di Caprio is.

The book is even better!!

One of those movies you can watch over and over. My cousin did his commercial pilot licence training in Long beach and he met Frank Abignale during this in the late 70's/early 80's at a televised lecture that he did...

Go on give it a try, it really is a good film, it's stunning just what this guy got away with for years. Also there are scenes with IBM Selectric typewriters, brings back memories.

As someone who has morals & principles I will never use KFC.
Our reservations were for the Talbot Inn at Mapplewell, however we've had to cancel anyway as our next door neighbours have not got back from holiday yet & we were looking forward to a catch up with them.

I think you'll find they were back but they heard 'Catch me if you can' was on and didn't want to miss it!

What movie?

Yeah, right....I bet you are watching it for the third time as I type this........ and have already ordered the excellent book from Amazon.....

As an aside, and somebody mentioned this above, I only caught the last fifteen minutes but it looked like a fairly heavily edited version - didn't cover the poor treatment he got from the French penal system after he was caiught in France.
