Janet Montgomery is very attractive woman but pretty bland as an actress. She is the female lead in upcoming BBC Four "Spies of Warsaw" adapted from Alan Furst novel. Alan plays it straight with his sex scenes. The spies do it everywhere and anywhere deemed safe enough to fuck. Shower is preferable - quick, wet and clean at same time. My prediction is that Janet - still smarting from failure of TV-series Made in Jersey - will whipped out the chumbawumbas in darkish sex scene(s).

The Spies Of Warsaw
Classification: Mini-Series
Genre: Action | Drama | Educational | Family | History | Military/War | Thriller
Status: New Series
Network: BBC FOUR ( United Kingdom)
Airs: Wednesdays at 09:00 pm
Runtime: 90 Minutes
Premiere: January 09, 2013
Episode Order: 4 (2)


David Tennant (Fright Night, Doctor Who, Hamlet, Casanova) and Janet Montgomery (Black Swan, Merlin) have been cast in Alan Furst’s celebrated novel, The Spies Of Warsaw, adapted by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.

A thrilling spy story set in Poland, Paris, London and Berlin in the years leading up to the Second World War. French and German intelligence operatives are locked in a life-and-death struggle on the espionage battlefield.

At the French embassy, the new military attaché, Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier (Tennant), a decorated war hero of the 1914 war, is drawn into a world of abduction, betrayal and intrigue in the diplomatic salons and back alleys of Warsaw.

At the same time, the handsome aristocrat finds himself in a passionate love affair with Anna (Montgomery), a Parisian lawyer for the League of Nations. Their complicated love affair intensifies as German tanks drive through the Black Forest.

Two 90-minute film adaptations of one of Furst’s most acclaimed novels will bring to BBC Four a combination of historically located, intelligent narratives, interlaced with flawed, romantic and utterly compelling characters.

Richard Klein, Controller of BBC Four, says: “Spies Of Warsaw is Alan Furst at his best - a tense, passionate and sexy love story set against the increasingly strident clang of coming war.

"I think David Tennant playing Mercier and Janet Montgomery as Anna is such an exciting way to explore Furst's hugely convincing central characters, and I am delighted that Ian and Dick have produced such an enthralling script.

"Spies Of Warsaw is an entertaining, thrilling and insightful drama with a very different take on the Second World War, seen through the eyes of characters who know from the start that they and their fellow countrymen will face the brunt of the horrors to come: this is top class drama, and perfect for BBC Four.”
Richard Fell, Executive Producer and Head of Drama, Fresh Pictures, adds: “We are thrilled and delighted that David and Janet are going to be in Spies Of Warsaw. They are both actors of such great range and quality they will light up the screen as the star crossed lovers Jean Francois and Anna. As Europe is dragged into the nightmare that will be the Second World War, their illicit love affair gets ever more complicated, and the chemistry between these two extraordinary actors becomes irresistible.”
Spanning the decade from 1933 to 1943, as the Germans slowly consolidate their political stranglehold on Europe, Furst’s stories are portraits of subjugated peoples who try to resist the suffocating inevitability of Hitler’s regime. They show the potency and importance of espionage and pure intelligence in the run up to the war.

Joining Tennant in the role of Mercier and Montgomery in the role of Anna is an impressive supporting cast including: Ludger Pistor (Casino Royale) as Edvard Uhl, Ann Eleonora Jørgensen (The Killing) as Olga Musser, Jan Pohl (Captain America: The First Avenger) as Zoller, Rad Kaim (Harry Brown) as August Voss, Piotr Baumann (The Street) as Maxim Mostov, Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises) as Jourdain, Ellie Haddington (Creation) as Mme Dupin, Alan Corduner (Gladiator) as Viktor Rosen, Linda Bassett (The Hours) as Malka Rosen, Anton Lesser (The Hour) as Doctor Lapp, Richard Lintern (White Heat) as Colonel Lessard, Richard Teverson (Upstairs Downstairs) as Roddy Fitzware, Nicholas Blane (The Tudors) as Papa Heininger, Adam Godley (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory) as Halbach, Kenneth Collard (Albert Nobbs) as Johannes Elter, Dan Fredenburgh (The Bourne Ultimatum) as Armand, Tuppence Middleton (New Tricks) as Gabrielle, Tusse Silberg (Drop The Dead Donkey) as Helena and Julian Harries (EastEnders) as Duff Cooper.

Shooting of the drama will begin next month on location in Poland. Commissioned by Richard Klein, Controller, BBC Four and Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning.

This is a Fresh Pictures production, executive produced by Richard Fell for Fresh Pictures and Jamie Laurenson for the BBC, co-produced by Apple Film for TV Poland in association with ARTE FRANCE and BBC Worldwide.

Episode 1

Jan/09/2013
It is 1937, and Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier, a highly decorated soldier from the First World War, is the military attaché stationed in Warsaw, Poland while the shadow of Hitler’s Nazi regime looms over mainland Europe.

Mercier is grossly suspicious of the German military’s intentions, but he must juggle his formal duties at stifling diplomatic functions with the often death-defying realities of espionage.

With intelligence from his German informant Edvard Uhl, Mercier sets out on a stealth mission with his trusted accomplice Marek, where they discover that the Nazis are ensuring any future invasion of Poland can take place effectively and with little resistance. Mercier almost gets caught and killed during the mission, narrowly escaping, and thereby facing the wrath of French bureaucrat Jourdain, who is anxious to avoid the further heightening of diplomatic tension.

Amid the threat of a second world war, Mercier is also vying for the affections of Parisian lawyer Anna Skarbek, currently in an empty-shell relationship with Russian Émigré and political journalist Maxim. As Mercier and Anna’s relationship develops, it is clear that she must choose between both men. But will Mercier’s feelings for Anna jeopardise his mission and can she be trusted?

Episode 2

Jan/16/2013
Mercier’s mission becomes all too dangerous as his cover is compromised while trying to unearth German military plans, and a man believed dead reappears, sparking significant repercussions for both Mercier and Anna. Will Mercier discover the truth in time and what consequences will this have on the rest of Europe?

Led by intelligence from Dr Lapp, Mercier travels to Czechoslovakia to find and question the illusive ‘Seagull’, a German activist who is on the run from the Nazis.

Finding Seagull reluctant to become involved with the French, Mercier soon takes matters with into his own hands and persuades him to travel to Berlin under false identities. There, with Seagull’s help, Mercier hopes to employ a man who could prove to be a powerful ally against the Nazi regime.

As Mercier’s superiors become increasingly frustrated with his lack of protocol and risk-taking, they begin to question the intelligence he has gathered, when finally, Mercier finds himself in opposition to his own government. Frustrated with work and longing for the beautiful Anna, he returns to Paris and the support of his younger sister Gabrielle (Tuppence Middleton), eventually seeking solace at the old family estate and his father’s well-stocked wine cellar.

Now the threat of war becomes all too real as tensions rise across Europe and Mercier has to make difficult decisions.

The Big Ask with Jessica Marais 

jessica marais switched on Tv dec 25
Jessica Marais in Magic City, the big budget US period drama.
THERE was a time Jessica Marais was worried she'd be forever known as "Rachel Rafter, the girl next door". 

That's no longer a concern with the former Packed to the Rafters star soon to begin filming the title role in the ABC telemovie Carlotta, bringing to life the Les Girls headliner and transgender pioneer. Meanwhile, she is steaming up the screen in big budget US period drama Magic City, as the highly sexed Lily Diamond - hot trophy wife of mob boss husband, Ben (Danny Huston).


-- Did you have butterflies in the stomach before beginning shooting Magic City? I go through a stage of sheer panic before I go on set. I feel ill, a million thoughts and insecurities go through your head. You second guess everything about yourself and the character you've created. The moment you actually start doing a scene - two words in and it (fear) dissipates and you lose yourself in what you're doing.

-- Has acting training allowed you to conceal the anxiety and let your performance come through?
Training helps, doing theatre helps. There is such a thing as stage fright, but you learn to conceal it and bottle it. I've learnt to try to work with, and use it.

-- Lily is a great character. How do you think she functions in that pre-feminism era?
The era itself (1950s) is such a stifling time for women. Lily, on the surface, is ahead of her time and the kind of woman not bound by social prescriptions. She has a huge amount of sexual prowess and power with her sensuality. It's a form of manipulation to survive this world where dangerous men are trying to control her all the time. She is a real survivor.

-- There is a scene where she pops out of the pool naked and is clearly comfortable in her own skin. Is that a challenge to play?
The reality is that when you're filming there is a crew of about 90 people around you and you are clearly not at home in your own backyard having a little skinny dip. It becomes very clinical. It's the same with doing love scenes.

PLAYBILL BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Yvonne Strahovski, Golden Boy's Incandescent Lorna Moon

Yvonne Strahovski

Meet Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski, known for TV's "Chuck" and "Dexter," currently wowing Broadway as the love-and-loyalty-pulled lady in the middle of Golden Boy.

Yvonne Strahovski is lighting up the Belasco Theatre in her Broadway debut as Lorna Moon in Lincoln Center Theater's revival of Clifford Odets' Golden Boy, which first opened on Broadway, at the Belasco, 75 years ago. Strahovski, 30, portrays Lorna, "a tramp from Newark" with a very New York accent who is the mistress/fiancée of married boxing manager Tom Moody. Moody manages Joe Bonaparte, the Golden Boy of the title, who has given up the violin for the financial lure of the ring. Lorna falls in love with Joe, and he with her, and she must decide whether to choose him or stay with Moody.
A native of Australia — her parents immigrated from Warsaw, her father an electronic engineer, her mother a lab technician — Strahovski is best known for TV and movies. On TV, she was CIA agent Sarah Walker in "Chuck" and is a serial killer and Dexter's love interest on this season's "Dexter." On film, she appeared with Robert De Niro in "Killer Elite" and is playing opposite Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen in the comedy "The Guilt Trip," in theatres this month.
The Golden Boy cast includes Seth Numrich as Joe, Tony Shalhoub as his father, Danny Mastrogiorgio as Moody and Danny Burstein as Joe's trainer. The director is Bartlett Sher, who directed a highly praised revival of Odets' Awake and Sing! for Lincoln Center in 2006. Playbill.com connected with Strahovski, and her Australian accent, for a chat a few days after the Dec. 6 opening night.

You, the rest of the cast, your director and the production have received many glowing reviews in the last few days. How does this feel, especially in your Broadway debut?
Yvonne Strahovski: We sort of as a cast decided not to read the reviews, because we want to keep focusing on the work itself and doing a good show every night. Obviously, it's hard to avoid — we know there've been good reviews, and I certainly woke up to a thousand e-mails and text messages from people congratulating me. So it's nice to know, but at the same time it does get in your head a little bit. And it can sometimes be a little distracting — only for the performances, where it makes you realize that the people are in fact watching you. I know that sounds silly. Obviously they're watching you in the audience. But it sort of draws attention to the fact that they're watching you, and it's nice to stay in the zone of working with the actors onstage to create a good show every night.

You were quoted as saying late last month that "Honestly, I do feel a little bit like a fish out of water. A, I've never done a Broadway play. B, I've never seen a Broadway play. C, I'm Australian. And I'm an Australian coming in to do a classic American play that is set in the 30s. It's been challenging on all fronts." Could you expand on that, and how you dealt with that challenge?
YS: It's been a lot of hard work in compressed time. In rehearsals, which were four weeks, sort of coming on board with an American cast to do this classic American play. I was on fast-forward a little bit, I think, because I was catching up to the content and the history of the play, and Clifford Odets, and the accent as well, which was a big focus of mine, obviously, because it really is one of the most important things that shape the character of Lorna Moon. That's such a specific sound from a specific era. I really wanted to work on that and get that right. Being an Australian, it was a little overwhelming. I had studied it before in drama school. We did touch on the New York accent, but certainly not as intensely as I have in the last two months.

Strahovski and Seth Numrich in Golden Boy.

Tell me about Lorna, and how you see this 1937 woman.
YS: Lorna is a survivor. I think she has had an incredibly harsh upbringing — it says in the play that her father is somewhere in the world, he's a drunk, she doesn't know him, he wasn't there for her, her mother's dead and she's had to fend for herself. I think she's very smart. She's witty, but she's harboring a lot of hurt inside, so she has had to put up a very tough exterior. It's really beautiful to see that exterior crumble in the play when she's confronted with her feelings for Joe and Joe's feelings for her. It's unexpected, and she doesn't really know what to do with it. She struggles with the loyalty she feels for Tom Moody because she made that choice to be with him, and he needs her. She runs a lot of his business for him. She constantly struggles and constantly hides, and in the course of the play we see her unravel.

You were born and raised in Australia. How did you connect with this very American, East Coast "tramp from Newark," as she calls herself?
YS: I connected with her because of all the layers of her past, the layers that make up her character. There's an element of tragedy about Lorna Moon, and I'm attracted to that as an actress because it allows you to delve deeper and deeper into a character. You have to figure out why she is the way she is and break it down again during the course of the play. It probably is the most challenging role I've ever played. It's complicated, and it's dark. She's just a human being trying to make it in the world, and during those years it was tough.

Could you talk about the rehearsal and the preview process, and director Bartlett Sher, and how you grew in the role?
YS: He really dove into this, and encouraged us to do the same, and pushed us. We talked a lot about what we thought was going on, the nature of Clifford Odets' writing, very colorful and full of subtext. The answers weren't always clearly on the page. There was a lot of exploring to do. I feel myself discovering something new every day, at every performance.

How did Golden Boy happen for you — you've been making TV series and movies, with much success. How did you suddenly wind up on Broadway?
YS: I was in Melbourne at the beginning of this year shooting the movie "I, Frankenstein" [further adventures of the monster, due out next year, with Bill Nighy and Aaron Eckhart]. During that time I had some days off to go and check out the Melbourne [International] Comedy Festival, and I ended up seeing all those standup comedians onstage, and I got nostalgic. I wondered what it would be like to be onstage again, because I hadn't done that in six or seven years. It inspired me a bit, and when my agent called and said there's this great role, you should look at this, I thought why not. I hadn't looked at any theatre because I've been so focused on film and television, and I thought I'll go in and see if I can even do a theatre audition. We'll start with that. And I guess the rest is history. Here I am.

Could you tell me a little bit about your childhood, and your parents, how you got interested in theatre and how you got started in Australia.
YS: I was always a bit of a showoff when I was a kid, a bit of a clown. I started young — I think my parents could see from day one I was going to be some kind of performer. From a very early age, I would always make my mom film my friends and me goofing around in front of the camera, making up our own series, our own documentaries and things. We have a lot of home videos like that, which is always fun. My mom put me in my first acting class when I was 12. I was always involved in all the drama classes where I could be in school productions. I did my first Shakespeare when I was 14 — I played Viola in Twelfth Night. Straight out of high school I went for my three-year acting degree. Then I worked for three years in Australia before I came to the States in 2007.

I understand it was "Chuck" that brought you to this country. How did that happen?
YS: I was just coming over for TV pilot season. Once I landed, "Chuck" happened. I never got to use my return ticket home, because I stayed on. Now I live here.

Did you audition for "Chuck"?
YS: I sent a tape over from Australia. I put down a little audition in Sydney before I got on the plane. Then I got on the plane and landed, and a couple of days later we got a call saying they had seen the tape. I went and had a couple of meetings, and by the end of the week I had the job. It was sort of being thrown in the deep end, which feels like how things have been going for me. I tend to get thrown in the deep end, like with Golden Boy and Broadway. That's why I sort of made the decision to go with the flow and take it day by day.

What was it like working with Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen on your new movie, "The Guilt Trip," where you play Seth Rogen's former high school sweetheart?
YS: I feel honored to have been able to work with them, especially Barbra Streisand, who's such a legend. It was a lot of fun. Their dynamic is very funny on set and the script was very funny, so I'm looking forward to actually seeing the movie.

You haven't seen it yet?
YS: No, not yet.

Strahovski and Danny Mastrogiorgio in Golden Boy.

Would you like to do more theatre, more Broadway?
YS: In the near future I think I need a break. Golden Boy is very demanding and challenging. But certainly in the future. Sure.


Is there any particular role that might interest you?
YS: I haven't even got that far. Well, actually, there's a play we did in our third year, last year, in drama school. Road, by Jim Cartwright [set in working-class Lancashire, England, in the 1980s] with many characters with a Lancashire accent. That would be fun to do now, as an adult, after having some experience.

Is there a film up next on your shooting schedule?
YS: Potentially, but unfortunately it's something I'm not allowed to talk about.

Have you had the time yet to see a Broadway play?
YS: No, I haven't. I know I really need to get out a little more. We've been in previews and rehearsals, and our schedule has been pretty hectic so far. Now that we've opened I may have a little more time — without having to go into the theatre every day to rehearse — to do a couple of things, provided they're not on the same schedule as my show.

* It's a pattern I've noticed emerging among some actresses (mostly B-listers) who performs first nude scene (in case of Yvonne - implied) and then need to validate their value as an artist to be respected for more than their body by working on a stage play soon after. Only to realize it's tough work with relentless rehearsals and grueling schedule. I don't see Yvonne doing theater again in near future. In fact I bet she will show her tits before she goes back on stage! Maggie Grace is currently doing her own self-validation with 'Picnic'. Let see how long the pothead endures the monotony of the play before bailing for good.

Researcher Finds Porn Exposure Good for Young Swedes

By Bob Johnson
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Watching porn and posting nude photos of oneself may be good for young people according to a Swedish researcher.

Pernilla Nigard, a doctoral candidate at Malmö University studied men and women 18-25 and found that young people's online porn habits can enrich their lives. She even believes the practices may help shape their identities.

"A lot of it is about the need to be seen, to get affirmation, and to get attention," Nigard told The Local.

When asked why they posted “sexualized” images of themselves online, the women Nigard interviewed said that they "feel stronger" when they receive positive comments.

But it’s not all good news. If women receive negative comments, they’re likely to strike back at their critics.

Nigard found that it’s OK to be seen as sexy, but if women are labeled “sluts” or “whores” it can become problematic for those who post their photos — especially when they’re spread across the worldwide web.

"There is also a conflict between wanting to be seen as sexy and wanting to be seen as a person," Nigard explained.

Men on the other hand use porn "in the pursuit of independence." Nigard said, "It's sort of like uncomplicated sex. There aren't any demands like in a real relationship because there is a lack of intimacy.”

And although men get off on porn, they feel the pressure that they must also be critical of the inherent pitfalls of exposure.

Nigard also noted that young people are easily seduced by the instant gratification that comes from sexual exposure and watching porn even though it may only be for the moment.

"The individual is so important in society, everything is so geared to making the individual feel good about themselves, it's hard to avoid," Nigard said.

Nigard's research also indicated that it’s not really clear why young people feel good about exposing their sexuality online when it’s those who comment who have the real power. She said that perhaps it's the simple fact that our “image-heavy” culture helps shape young people’s identities regardless of the consequences.
