- I think Meryl's comedies have definitely been lacking,
- but I thought she was excellent in Silkwood and The
- French Lieutenant's Woman. These were both very good
- films. By the way, who was her lover in FLW? I didn't
- pay attention at the time but now that I remember back
- it seems like it was Jeremy Irons.
