I knew the film's more major flaws now since this was a second viewing.

But to that audience, there were no flaws. They applauded after terrible numbers. Kids were copying the choreography as if they had seen the move dozens of times (and who knows, they might have). And they behaved. Even the babies, and there were many of those.

And they left as if we had given them some great gift.

So, I'm happy they were happy.

I came home and watched the last hour of Francois Ozon's In the House. It was a movie that made me itchy. Ozon's films often do that, but the payoff was really, really good. Itchy, uncomfortable and surprising.

Plus, Kristin Scott Thomas was excellent and her French has gotten much better.

Now watching another Carole Lombard film called True Confession. Fred MacMurray has a horrible pencil-thin mustache that looks like two anchovies crawled up there and died.

I also just happened to be gifted with two lovely souvenir programs, by someone who appreciates them well enough but who doesn’t keep any around except for a chosen few. So now I have a MY FAIR LADY with Marni Nixon, and SOUTH PACIFIC with Florence Henderson and Giorgio Tozzi. These had been kept in perfect condition by their former owner.

We were having a rather rocky rehearsal, or maybe it was a performance, I don’t know.

I was trying to rally the large cast, who were acting very down.

And this fellow cast member (who is no one I really know) stood up and screamed at me.

I woke deeply disturbed, and depressed.

I can actually see the fellow actor in my mind.  There was such hatred in his voice.

But there is still that depression, even though the person is not even real.
