Last night we had no rehearsal, and it was heavenly lounging around, munching a little, libating a little, and seeing a couple of great movies.

I'm not watching it straight through because I did that not too long ago, but I did watch a few more scenes of THE GREAT RACE. While this movie and the memories it evokes are very special to me, I understand BK's and others' objections. I like Lemmon, but the film is too long and certain scenes and set pieces just go on forever -- not unlike IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD, two years prior. The thing that kills me every time, though, is the Blake Edwards element -- the large scale evocation of turn-of-the-century/silent-film routines, and comic timing that knows no equal.

The other movie was a revelation. I'd never seen OUT OF THE PAST. This one is perfection in every way.

These perfect high-def transfers can be had for a song (so clear your throat and sing in tune) from Warner Archives.

OUT OF THE PAST is my favorite film noir.

THE GREAT RACE and IT'S A MAD (4) WORLD are okay. They both have their moments, but I was never a big fan of either.

I love the scene in MAD WORLD where Winters destroys the service station. Funniest scene in the movie.

We have David's in San Francisco...as Jewish as a Jewish Deli as can be in the Bay Area, I reckon!

I love the reuben with kosher dills. I love the split pea soup. And I love the pastrami on rye.

I find "Those Magnificent Men...Flying Machines" much better than either "It's a Mad....World" or "The Great Race", although the humor in it isn't raucous. It's just a better movie, IMO.

All three films are good of kind.

Topic of the Day: I've never been to a "real" Jewish deli, so I can't comment.

A sign of good jewish deli is the matzoh ball soup. I always have that and if its good the I know the rest of meal is good. I usually have a pastrami sandwich which is the closest to Montreal smoked meat I can get in the U.S of A.

Smoked Meat -- I'm so home sick for Montreal! Dang it!

I don't usually care for Poutine, but could go for a bite now and then!

Have a good day Dear Readers!

Started a new job three weeks ago. It's all good -- for once, it's nice to be appreciated!

DR VIXMOM I hope everyone is okay at your workplace this morning.

DR CILLA LIZ - I am constantly annoyed and amazed and amused that people doing theatre don't know songs....I know that when I started out, I knew songs from 20 or 30 years previously.....and especially knew the "classic" songs.....

We open tonight. I followed my three notes, and then I was told to put em back the way they wuz....so I will do so tonight.

Director mentioned that Whiteside should roll his wheelchair downstage a bit once the mummy case comes on so he can be seen on stage right.

Whiteside said that it wasn't the mummy case that was the problem.....I am sitting on the couch at the time....LYING DOWN ON THE COUCH....but that I AM BLOCKING HIM.

I flashed back on ALL of the things I am doing for this particular actor....including being his dresser and having water for him and struggling during our scene to keep him on track....and decided I would say: "Well I am on for 8 pages and you are on for 136 pages - they've seen enough of you."

It was decided he would roll downstage a bit.....

Jeudi evening greetings! We were up and out before the new day dawned here on HHW to catch the 9am train to Chartres. Did the cathedral overview with audio tours, then a noon tour with the famous 81-year-old guide Malcolm Miller. We had a lovely lunch at an outdoor cafe overlooking the south entrance, then walked all around the exterior. Did some shopping and caught the 4:30 train back to Paris. We're having a little champagne (compliments of our hotel) and resting a bit before dinner.
