Long day yesterday. Today will be, too. But last night was surprisingly great, and just what the doctor ordered.
Following a grueling SHREK rehearsal, I attended a 4k screening of ON THE WATERFRONT at the Bedford Playhouse. I’m here to tell you that as many times as I’ve seen it over the years, it has never had this impact. Not ever. There is so much to be said for watching a film under ideal conditions.
Both image and sound were perfection, and the score has never sounded so magnificent. A powerful movie, overall, if you haven’t sat in front of it in a while. And what a lesson in acting.
Mr. Harris wasn’t there last night, but John Farr, the gentleman who curates this series of classic movies, is a fine host who always manages to teach me things I didn’t know. Fine evening all around.
