I was pleasantly surprised to see her in this film. The role isn't large but she does a great job with it.

I'm just glad someone finally started a Phantom Thread Thread. And yes, she was a wonderful presence (I wasn't thrilled with the film, despite all the bouquets and my general fondness for the author/director).

I also was happy to see Harriet Harris pop up as Barbara Rose, a wealthy if inebriated socialite who literally gets a dressing-down.

By the way, Leslie Manville, who plays the devoted sister of Daniel Day-Lewis' haughty designer, just opened to raves in London.

She's co-starring with Jeremy Irons as Mary and James Tyrone in O'Neill's legendary ''Long Day's Journey Into Night.''

As for ''Phantom Thread,'' the production design and costumes were classy, and the Oscar-nominated performances, polished.

Spoiler: But what's the point of this plot: That a woman can keep her man in line if she cooks with poisonous mushrooms?

The story is so contrived and ''Thread''-bare that one is tempted to say that this Emperor, or director, has no clothes.

I wasn't thrilled with it either, gorgeous though it may be. But -- relevant to this board -- someone recently said "it'll be a musical someday. Adam Guettel will write the score." I laughed, but think about it. Not necessarily a stretch.

Harris is swell in her scene.
