and rally around themselves all kinds of differing opinions.

I'd rather do -- that is, try to do in a small way -- something of what Claude Berri actually did in "Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring" (1986), which was, in his own words,

our human nature and suffering, in common -- the tie that binds.

After this cast, I am taking a short break.

But it's really just "pre-production" time, for the next season of,

"Fireball XL 5".
