	Boston.com / A&E / Books / Windy travelogue got up as 'biography'
		Fanny Trollope (1779-1863) was a prolific writer and matriarch of a large family, including son Anthony, who himself became a famous novelist.
		As described in Pamela Neville-Sington's solid biography "Fanny Trollope: The Life and Adventures of a Clever Woman," she was intrigued by Fanny Wright's attempt to found a utopian colony called Nashoba outside of Memphis.
		First of all, "Fanny" is not constructed like a biography at all, but like a travel narrative, as shapeless and lacking momentum as an earlier White title, "States of Desire: Travels in Gay America." The narrator, Fanny Trollope, often rings false as a character.

		The color contrasts are very strong in "Fanny and Alexander", and are especially used to underline the difference between the grandmother's colorful home and the bishop's house which is mostly all fl and white.

		But Fanny Hill, whose adventures in whoredom made John Cleland's 1749 novel about her scandalous in three centuries, goes in the other direction by allowing herself to be adapted into a musical.
		Ed Dixon's "Fanny Hill," which has taken up residence at the York Theater at St. Peter's, is about as family friendly as a show full of phallic jokes can be.
		The real question, of course, for this treatment of "Fanny Hill" (developed at the Goodspeed-at-Chester theater in Connecticut in 1999) is whether it would have made it this far without that famous Fanny name attached.

		The film fails to achieve it for the most part because the performance of the actress playing Fanny is a total success even though she was reprising her role from the stage.
		The melodramatic plot of a scorned, (maybe that is too strong a word: even abandoned is too strong because she never lets on to her man that she does not want him to leave) woman who is pregnant is passé though common in the literature of the period.
		I remember a tracking shot that impressed me as the camera follows Fanny through the streets as she suspects she is pregnant.
