Watching Irma la Douce. It’s a bit forced.

The music is the best thing in the movie.

Bill Bixby just appeared in a cameo. He plsyed a sailor with Napoleon tattooed on his chest.

I have reached the halfway mark. I think Shirley MacLaine was right about the movie. It should have been called Nestor, My Sweet instead. It’s too much about Lemmon’s character and not enough about Irma.

I have a new fixation: I love watching the short videos of people in the film industry going through the Criterion Closet.

It's just great hearing personal stories people share about the movies that influenced them. And no one, so far, has picked Jeanne Diehlman or whatever that movie is called.

Good night, all.

I guess I spent all my energy eating dim sum this morning.

That sounds like a perfect use of energy!

Oh dear mid-page 6. That will not do.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #160 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:09:19 PM »

That will not suffice.

Times like this, I ask, WWGGWD?

What would Gunther Gebel Williams do?

I’d be lion if I said I knew.

No growling aloud on HHW.

I have a million Ringling Bros. jokes at the ready.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #166 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:15:51 PM »

Everyone knows about the Ringling Bros. and Barnum. But very little was known about this Bailey character.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #167 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:16:22 PM »

Bailey was the Roebuck of the circus world.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #168 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:17:02 PM »

I should know, I once went to Circus World up in Baraboo, Wisconsin.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #169 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:18:25 PM »

Same time I saw the Tommy Bartlett Water Show.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #170 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:19:20 PM »

A Wisconsin tourism legend with water skiers and dancing waters. Until the lake it was on got drained accidentally.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #171 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:19:56 PM »

The Dancing Mud just didn’t have the same ring to it.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #172 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:21:46 PM »

In those olden days, you parked at the Tommy Bartlett Water Show. And when the show ended and you went back to your car, it had a Tommy Bartlett Water Show bumper sticker on it whether you liked it or not.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #173 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:23:33 PM »

One guy I saw performing that day as a warm-up was a kind of human sound effects guy. He could make it sound like a helicopter was about to land on the lake. Very impressive to young me.

The Wisconsin Dells, this magical vacationland was called.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #175 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:26:44 PM »

Along the highway were cheese stores that were in buildings shaped like giant cheese rounds.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #176 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:27:28 PM »

We also stopped at a few breweries for the parents to enjoy beer tastings. Very boring.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #177 on:** February 15, 2025, 11:29:52 PM »

Though we went to Circus World and saw a circus, I must say even as a kid I didn’t much care for circuses. I do not lament their passing from the culture.

Well wishes to DH Richard.
