Movie Haiku:Second-View Report: Rich, coming late to Diana-Madness, indeed saw more here on second view. Jan continues to find this a fascinating gloss on an oft-told tale. Prince Charles (Jennings) arouses sympathy as a man caught between ways of life exemplified by 2 very different marriages: his parents (Mirren/Cromwell) versus the Blairs (McCrory/Sheen).
