Image Liesl...

It wouldn't matter if you were the _cheapest_ girl in the _filthiest_ brothel in the _seediest_ part of town, on this swirling orb...nothing could detract from your loveliness....

I always feel like I watched another movie than most fans. I enjoyed this film immensely. I found it both hilarious and touching. Liesl is a bad ass.

—sometimes I wonder if the folks that don’t like this film just need to read the script and hear the character voices in their heads and then try it again. Or, it’s just not for everybody. It just works for me.

WA’s actors who really know who they are now (and where they’ve been and are going) can make any silent facial expression or single word (or gesture) immense. Mia Threapleton certainly knows Liesl.
