I admit having to look up Swedish films to answer the TOD.

[Jane]

A Man Called Ove
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[Jane]

I am sure there are others, I just don't remember them well enough.

Part one of a lovely miracle is now complete. Part two of the lovely miracle would hopefully happen by Wednesday or Thursday - so, it's nervously awaiting that time.

[bk]

I love the Swedish Dragon Tattoo films and My Life as a Dog is wonderful. But I also love many, many films of Ingmar Bergman, including Smiles of a Summer Night, The Magician, The Seventh Seal, and more. Also, the Wallander films.

[John G.]

TOD:

Smiles of a Summer Night
Scenes from a Marriage
The Magician
The Emigrants/The New Land
Fanny and Alexander
I Am Curious … Yellow
A Man Called Ove
The Phantom Carriage
The Girl … trilogy

My friend Red Press has died. His first Broadway show on which he played reeds was the original production of Gypsy. At the time of his death, Red was the contractor for four Broadway musicals. He was 98 years young.

[John G.]

So sorry, Elmore. Sounds like a great life.

Johnnie Whitaker played Jody......

[Jrand74]

I am horrified by the clip DR LAURA just posted.....

Leslie Jordan died in a car accident.

Johnnie Whitaker played Jody......

Thanks.

I can't imagine why.

That's sad, and a bit of a shock, even at his age.
The official announcement of his retirement not long ago was a firm reminder of that reality.

I'm so grateful to have been able to meet such a pillar of Broadway history, and to shake his hand on a few occasions, thanks to DR Elmore.
And he was such the gentleman every time.

RIP, sir.

DR Laura, it's impossible for me to imagine sitting through that. My sympathies.

Here's an audio of the ballet sequence. I couldn't find video of it.

Thank you! I'd forgotten about that, but I'd been mildly - no, morbidly - curious about it when reading of it months ago.
I'll check it out in a little bit.

DR elmore, is that the same "Seymour Red Press" that I've seen in Broadway show credits?

[singdaw]

I've always wondered if that was a real person, or a corporate name.

[singdaw]

Sorry for your loss.

[singdaw]

Congratulations to DR Jrand72 on your expanded family!!!!

[elmore3003]

DR elmore, is that the same "Seymour Red Press" that I've seen in Broadway show credits?

Yes, indeed!

[elmore3003]

Usually, he was billed as Seymour "Red" Press.

[singdaw]

Shocking about Leslie Jordan, too. We were supposed to see a show of his in downtown Saint Paul that got scuttled due to the pandemic.

[singdaw]

Thanks, DR elmore3003.

[singdaw]

DR Jrand72, Debra Messing has a cameo in Bros. I know that will make you want to rush out to see it.
