Lexicon: "He's going to drive that poor girl crazy!"

[libertango]

The year: 1991

The setting: Pasadena's Hastings Ranch theaters

The film: Hamlet, directed by Zeffirelli, starring Gibson, Close, Bates, Scofield, Holm, Bonham Carter, etc.

So, we get to the nunnery scene. Ophelia's nearly in tears.

One grey-haired Pasadena matron turns to her companion, and says, just above a stage whisper:

"He's going to drive that poor girl crazy!"

Never seen this story before, have you, ma'am?

In our house, this lexicon entry is pronounced "Looks like some kind of performance."
