I can just about guarantee that she'll like them and you'll absolutely love 'em. They are smart and witty and exciting and funny and fun and have a great cast, top to bottom (Michael York, Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee, Geraldine Chaplin, Spike Milligan, Roy Kinnear, Frank Finlay and Charlton Heston). The first one is the most comedic, and the second part all the darker stuff, but both are brilliant. Director Dick Lester (A Hard Day's Night) did a marvellous job bringing them to the screen in all their glory.
