	9:41am stu: Morning Trouble & and my friends in the Modern World !

	10:20am Brian in UK: Jennique, they advanced the film by a few years compared with the book and original film. Think Graham Greene had never heard of mods when he wrote it. But hey when has that ever worried film makers!!
	10:25am Jennique: Brian, I read a review of the movie beforehand and knew that the time period was not the same as the book, but I do enjoy a movie with Mods in it.
