She looks amazing! The way she looks at him at the end of this part & patiently waits for his kiss. . . . . . . . . . then wears a gentle smile. Beautiful. Nothing less than beautiful. I have to find a way to get British television programming in California. 😩
Ships scenes were shot at the Park Lane and Claridge hotels in London, both on the West End and survived the Blitz. So you can visit both today, after you sail over on the Queen Mary 2 of course.
Wow, I did not realize all through the previous part that that was Jane Asher playing Celia. She certainly looks different with her hair and makeup done 30s style rather than modern.
Once again - have you ever actually been on a ship during a storm? I have been on a large ship in rough seas and it is hard not to walk like that because you're moving in relation to the floor (the ship) but the floor is also moving, so your body can't compensate fast enough. Crockery and cutlery for ships is not only smaller and closer to a surface but also it isn't trying to walk in relation to a pitching table.
Try tipping your crockery, we're heavier and therefore easier to shift. I'm not quite sure how it works, but I've tried it, the smaller an object, the less likely it is to move on a tipping surface.
randomsamno9 Waugh somewhat delicately says that Ch and S's 'naughtiness was high in the category of grave sins'. The whole point of Charles as a character in the book is that he is a soul in need of redemption through faith (specifically, catholic faith). So homosexual 'sins' in the eyes of the catholic church wouldn't have worried him, as a writer. Anyway he had such relationships of his own in his youth.
@randomsamno9 He also happened to have had more than one gay relationship when he was at Oxford, so presumably he was very familiar with the pleasures of same.
Wasn't he originally in love with Julia since his college days? It was meant to be and everything lined up for these two to get together. Julia is right and they are so comfortable and open with each other.
It is surprising to see how these people cannot walk about without jolting up and down for the ships movements. But the cutlery and crockery on the tables do not seem to fall down from the tables.
@Rhinehold1 Its still a little confusing though, Waugh was a converted Catholic so homosexuality would surely be considered wrong in his eyes, yet I never got that message from the relationship between Charles and Sebastian. They aren't even labelled in any way they are just two young men in love and no more.

Glad that beard's gone, but now we've got the molestache to deal with!!
Have you ever been on a ship during a storm? It's hard not to walk like a drunk when the floor is shifting around under your feet constantly.
Wasn't it nice for him to say that he still misses Sebastian ?. That was quite a bold but honest remark !
Anyone know the name of the music/artist being played at 5:33 to 6:48 ? Thanks.

does anyone know which ship this scene was set on?

They walk like drunks on the ship during the storm.

Julia didn't use to like champagne. She changed in more than one way.

@bluejeckett
Charles was Bi-sexual but there was no indication that Sebastian was as well. Most probably he would have been only a homosexual.
Read the book.....

I thought Charles should have hooked up with Cordelia when she was a bit older.
Or Nanny Hawkins.
Charles is not really a sexual being.... His seduction is awkward.
I wouldnt say that. Every person has a particular aproach to "seduction", as you call it. You just aint fond of Charles' aproach.
The person dubbing for Julia has the worst voice--I have to watch the one with subtitles to avoid it.
