The following week I see and love Man in a Cocked Hat with Peter Sellers on a double bill with Fernandel as "Big Chief".

Why am I up so early? I’m off to get my second eye operation. This one is on the left eye. I will be able to see clearly now.

For Christmas vacation, I immediately see Cinderfella at the Picwood. Don't like it much.

And Magnificent Seven at the Stadium.

And to close out the year, I see Where the Boys Are at the Four Star and have my first kiss in the back row with Betty Breemer (who I'm still in touch with every now and then). I had just turned thirteen on the 8th.

My first two films of 1961, early January, are Inherit the Wind at the Stadium, and then the roadshow 70mm Exodus at the Wilshire.

Followed a week later by Village of the Damned at the Stadium.

Oh, and on my twelfth birthday in December of 1959, given the option of taking friends to any movie of my choice, what do I choose? The Angry Red Planet at the Four Star.

Thatch does something that I have never seen any other cat do: when he approaches his water dish, he very gently puts a front paw into the dish to check the water level(?) before he drinks. He is such a darling, fastidious little boy.

David Raksin was very generous with his time and knowledge. He participated in a few film seminars and other events that I attended, and was always the gentleman.

As for the rest of the notes -- If it's all right with y'all, I'm going to go back to 1959 and do it all right this time.

So, the Kirk Browning Curse claims another victim: Streetcar.

I watched another Met production the other day that was his. What the hell was it? Oh yes. Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. Shorthand synopses over still photographs throughout the preludes of each opera, and nothing but close-ups of the conductor through the Intermezzo and whatever else he deigned to allow us back into the opera house for. Mind you, I like the conductor. I also like a pit full of some of the best musicians around.

All of BK's other objections apply as well -- the dearth of establishing shots, etc. Wouldn't it be nice if outtakes existed for all of these productions and they could be reedited? Anyway, I need to get into that Streetcar. I have the CD, not the DVD.

Context, baby. We need context.
