Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteThe rendering at the top reminds me of architecting school.
Thanks for providing fodder for my links.
DeleteWOW. This Hepburn-Tracy movie, "Keeper of the flame" wasn't on my radar at all, but this explicit anti-fascist message was too strong not to follow up on.
ReplyDeleteSo I just watched the whole film, and it *is* something else. Although, it's only in the last 10 minutes that the political message becomes relevant. Before that, it was simply 'a reporter digs into the secret life of a *Big man*', a-la Citizen Kane.
I recommend it. You can read my full review next Monday on the film blog if you want.
Glad you liked it, Hanan. I read your blog consistently and will make sure to read your review tomorrow,
Delete*Next* Monday for this one... Tomorrow's reviews are already done...
