The Era -- Day By Day
I'm fine, thank you both very much for asking. The rain did knock out one of our building's elevator due to a small crack in a skylight in the elevator shaft (the building is from 1928 and the skylight's glass is the original chickenwire glass - amazing) that got flooded by the deluge. The...- Fading Fast

So amazed that FL's tech issues continue, but had to note (after waiting forever for the "reply" page to load), I would have lost a huge bet if anyone had said we will see "sensitive vaginal tissues" in a 1943 newspaper.- Fading Fast

Most importantly, kudos on the lifestyle changes and heartfelt encouragement to continue doing what you need to do to stay healthy. I agree with your comments on clothes and being "comfortable" in them. I'd add that a combination of the studio system and an army of experienced tailors to draw...- Fading Fast

Elevator to the Gallows from 1958, French with English subtitles It certainly helps to have Miles Davis doing the score for your film noir movie, especially when it includes a troubled woman walking the lonely streets of Paris at night with only her anguish and the haunting sounds of Davis’...- Fading Fast

That sounds interesting. It's also always fun to be in the place where a book you are reading is about. I only found my way to Zweig by way of the movie "Letter From an Unknown Woman." The copy I bought included several of his other short stories too, all of which I enjoyed. I think you've...- Fading Fast

The 13th Letter from 1951 with Michael Rennie, Charles Boyer, Linda Darnell and Constance Smith Director Otto Preminger set and filmed his remake of the 1940 French film Le Corbeau in a province in Quebec Canada, which gives his film a realistic "small town" intimacy and a French "feel."

The Lady Vanishes from 1938 with Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Dame May Whitty and Paul Lukas Hitchcock's movies echo, but each one brings something different that makes it special. The Lady Vanishes is another spy/macguffin tale, but the humor dial is turned up, which along with its...- Fading Fast

Term of Trial from 1962 with Laurence Olivier, Simone Signoret and Sarah Miles The British kitchen-sink dramas of the 1960s were usually populated with up-and-coming stars. Term of Trial, though, has the heavyweight acting talents of Laurence Olivier and Simone Signoret. It also, however, has...- Fading Fast

Letter from an Unknown Woman by Stefan Zweig originally published in 1922 Stefan Zweig penned a poignant tale of unrequited love in his long short story Letter from an Unknown Woman.

The butterfly effect applied to baseball by Sally. And this is 1943. By the '70s/'80, there were large parts of the city, including in Manhattan (like Alphabet City) that no sane person would be willing to walk through in broad daylight even armed. Right or wrong, the Reno way led the...- Fading Fast

What I learned in my dating years is there is a codicil to the "real blonde" definition that says if a woman was blonde as a girl, but her hair darkened in her teens, then even though she now has to dye it to be blonde, she is still a "real" blonde. This might not sound logical, but if you want...- Fading Fast

A Letter to Three Wives from 1949 with Jeanne Crain, Linda Darnell, Ann Sothern, Paul Douglas, Kirk Douglas, Thelma Ritter and Jeffrey Lynn A Letter to Three Wives is an impressively constructed story that is also contrived as heck, but you don't care as director and co-writer Joseph L...- Fading Fast

Their twice-a-day meetings are the best. You know, if it hadn't been for the war, these two would never have gotten to understand each other - and gotten so close.
