Picked about 200 chiles until the mosquitoes began to eat me alive.

200, WOW.

Mom let herself get dehydrated yesterday and had a stumble today. No injuries, but her blood pressure had dropped.

I talked with her a while ago and she sounded OK, not great.

I don't think it was major, but you never know.

Got an email from my cable company today warning me of Nicholas headed in the direction of Texas. That's where the rain and cooler temperatures will be coming from.

Louisiana looks like it could be hit again.

Starting a John Garfield movie called Blackwell's Island. It's not really a noir, but they're trying to make it out to be one. A reporter goes undercover to investigate a mob boss.

I enjoyed Miss Mills' book and it is high recommended by me.

Some of it is a bit of slog - but very interesting bits about working on MOST of her movies.

And the last paragraph in the book in the Acknowledgments somehow made me a bit misty.....

Pretty taut little movie and at 71 minutes, it doesn't wear out its welcome. Stanley Fields makes a great villain.

Just finished watching Come From Away. I liked it very much and found it funny and also very moving.

Is the Verdi still available for viewing? I know several of the Met chorus singers.

singdaw · « **Reply #75 on:** September 12, 2021, 06:17:21 PM »

They've had quite a challenging year, as have so many in the Arts.

Good night, friends.

Yes. It's under Great Performances.

Watching another "proto-noir," as the box calls it. It's called Thunderbolt and it's from Josef von Sternberg.

Oh no. I am glad she is ok.

It is disconcerting.

Fay Wray, George Bancroft and Richard Arlen star in the movie, which "mixes electrifying thrills with torrid romance."

Says so, right on the box.

I don't know if von Sternberg understood the Depression. A character loses his job, and the mother is all OK with it, thinks he wasn't going to advance at the bank, that he could get fired from any job. Still, the visuals are impressive.

Let's move on ...
