如何评价布兰奇：
Enormously camp.女子气，怪怪的。 He was part Gaelic,flamboyant, part Yankee, part, perhaps Jew. Fleshy in a rather unappealing way. Outrageously camp. But wholly exotic.
I think he was a conflation of one or two rather disreputable old queens. Waugh heaped Unto him all his own unease About what it would be like to be a queen.
上映后的结果是 It became compulsory viewing. You just sat down and let it wash over you. 正好那时是撒切尔上台，很多人都失业了。 Precisely that time the people are drawn to escapist nostalgia.
