At various points in my day, I have presumed it to be Sunday instead of Saturday...and had a small panic attack about missing my zoom chat.
Oh, well.
I did have a busy day of watching films. The most enjoyable, because it had been more than 20 years since I last watched it, was "Hobson's Choice." Splendid film; beautifully acted, especially by John Mills and Brenda de Banzie.
Next was "Mary Poppins", because it has been forever since I last watched it. BUT...I couldn't get far into it because the streaming kept buffering. It took more than a half an hour to get through half of "Jolly Holiday"...and that wasn't so jolly. So that was enough for me.
I then watched "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex", and just finished watching half of "The Sea Hawk". Am recording it, so I'll finish it tomorrow.
I guess I was a bit out of sorts with Ben Mankiewicz when he informed the audience, at the start of the first film, that Bette Davis despised working with Errol Flynn. She thought him thoroughly unprofessional. She lobbied for Laurence Olivier, and she is said to have written that she imagined her scenes with Flynn as if he were Olivier. As much as I love and admire Ms. Davis, I am a major fan of Errol Flynn in his prime.
