I'm a sucker for films that take place in the 1950s, even if I catch the occasional anachronism or just plain goof.
Unless really bad, they get points for trying.

Quiz Show - which I too haven't seen but once, but had thought about recently
Pleasantville - yes, even if it's more of a tongue-in-cheek TV-artifice
L.A. Confidential
Ed Wood
The Front
Last Exit to Brooklyn
Matinee - to stretch the 1950s just a year or two
Round Midnight
Far From Heaven

I shall be looking forward to DR Elmore's report on Come From Away.

Thursday morning greetings! I will be E & T much of today because Becky and I are having lunch at Panera and we're due for a nice long visit. We attended a memorial service together last Saturday, but didn't really have a chance to chat.

BK, I don't have time to watch all the videos this morning, but the "instant medley" is amazing!

I have Guys & Dolls work today. It's time to begin Act Two piano-conductor score edits. Because of my break to finish The New Yorkers, this G&D work seems endless. We're almost finished, though.

I've left a message on Roy's phone about tonight.

DR TCB, vent till it's out of your system.

DR Laura, continued vibes!

Good morning, all.

Crazy busy day and I just want to read the last six pages of The Prisoner. I fell asleep and just couldn't get through to the end.

Loving the videos but I can't get the Robert Yacko one to work.

"Good Night and Good Luck" is one such terrific movie.

Video is working now. To echo Michael's earlier statement, it's the first time for me to fear the song as a solo. Lovely.

One of the video suggestions on the side of the screen (for me, at least) was THIS video of Georgia Brown singing "Why Him?" from that same concert, and it happens right after that trio of "One More Walk Around the Garden." I'd never seen a video of her singing this song before. It's great!

I'm up, I'm up - about nine hours of sleep.

Really? What's there to fear about a song as a solo??

I know he could be irritating, but I generally found him funnier than most.

Ha! You have nothing to fear but hearing itself. Or some such nonsense.

There's more fresh hell today, and that's all I will say about that.

On the good news, I am seeing Beautiful: the Carole King Musical tonight. Looking forward to it.
