She has become an archetype of British journalism. Slagg's column usually takes the form of several paragraphs lauding people in the news that fortnight, each followed by a paragraph deriding the people she has just praised. For example, she will begin "Hats off to Anne Robinson!" and follow it later with "Anne Robinson? Aren'tchajustsickofher!" Slagg finishes her column by listing, with heavy sexual innuendo, the men in the news she finds attractive that week, often using a variation on her catchphrase "Crazy name, crazy guy!?!" before signing off with "Byeeeee!!!!". Her characteristic style also includes overuse of exclamation marks and question mark The questi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''A Touch of Class'' is a 1973 British romantic comedy film produced and directed by Melvin Frank and starring George Segal, Glenda Jackson, Hildegarde Neil, Paul Sorvino and K Callan. The film tells the story of a couple (Segal and Jackson) having an affair, who find themselves falling in love.

The film was adapted by Melvin Frank and Jack Rose from Frank's story "She Loves Me, She Told Me So Last Night," oddly listed as an original song in the film's opening credits.

The lead role of Steve was originally offered to Cary Grant, with a promise by Frank to rewrite the script to play up the age difference between Steve and ...
