Condolences – Comments And Tributes
“Roger Mitchell died. Director of the marvelous Notting Hill (and for fans of the Sunday cinema: Morning Glory, in which Rachel McAdams is the producer of a badly worn Harrison Ford).”
Almost forgot that was Roger Mitchell (RIP). The casualness with which Rhys Ifans stabs Samantha Morton is seared in my mind.

NOTTING HILL sits among the very first movies I watched with my wife. It’s one of our favorites. A romantic comedy that spins an entertaining and fairy tale-like love story with the most perfect cast.
