The actresses that played mother and daughter in the original London show were 18 years apart, while Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried are roughly 35 years apart. So it's not QUITE as bad as 40. But movie musicals have a long history of casting the inappropriate for musicals. They also have a long history of casting movie stars more for their ability to sell tickets than their singing ability. Mamma Mia was not the worst one. One of the worst had to be Man of La Mancha (1972). There was nothing wrong with the ages of the actors because Aldonza was supposed to be a prostitute and Don Quixote sees her as his young and beautiful Dulcinea. The biggest problem is they cast only one small role with the original Broadway actor, and none of the movie stars could sing on this level.

Both the series and the books One procedure they make a big deal of in the books but never mention in the series The murder book homicide investigators put together to figure out the case Its a huge factor in just about all the numerous books but hardly mentioned in the series Loved Goliath I am sticking with Amazon just to see season 2 in a couple of weeks I think the judge is miss casted . Liked him in OZ and Lost. I would expect somebody that looked older to play the judge Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

The procedure of putting together the murder book Everything goes in the book You get a anonymous call regarding the case, goes in the murder book You interview somebody, it goes in the murder book Its extremely important to constantly update the murder book as clues are discovered or dismissed Anything remotely connected to the murder, goes in the murder book. Putting together the murder book is very time consuming for detectives but very important to solving cases This has always been a big part of all Michael Connelly books about Bosch Mistakes in the murder book can ruin a case. There was a whole Michael Connelly Bosch novel about this The murder book has always been a big part of all the novels that the series pretty much ignores Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Everything I know about police procedure is from Michael Connelly's numerous Bosch books which translates into I don't know much. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
