Swithin

The word actually derives from the Scots. My (yellowing) copy of the Malleus Maleficarum, which is an English translation by Montague Summers from the Latin, has a chapter entitled: "Whether Witches can by some Glamour Change Men into Beasts." Another passage from that part of the work (Question 10), asks: "What is it to be Thought of Wolves that sometimes Seize and Eat Men and Children out of their Cradles; whether this also is a Glamour caused by Witches." The original meaning of the word comes from grammar, or learning, including the occult uses of learning, sometimes related to illusion: "... a certain sorceress named Circe changed the companions of Ulysses into beasts; but that this was due to some glamour or illusion, rather than an actual accomplishment, by altering the fancies of men...' In any case, the work does says that "The devil delights in such things,"

Dargo old man, In this case, you are correct. Even in America, the preferred spelling is GLAMOUR.

I think I will pass, having recently posed a question here. So it's anybody's thread.

Yes, I watched much of it, it looked beautiful. One thing that struck me -- I hadn't seen the film in ages -- was the nastiness of the police, toward Glenda Farrell and some of the others. It went beyond the usual stereotype.

Ben Gazzara and Janice Rule. If this is correct, I should have known it sooner, since I worked with Ben Gazzara. John Cassavettes was the actor/director friend. Looking it up, Ben was in Arrest and Trial on TV, but I don't recall ever seeing that show. The miniseries was QBVII.

I saw the miniseries A Suitable Boy recently and liked it very much. It takes place in the early 1950s. They use a song from a 1950 Indian/Hindi movie (Samadhi) that I think deserves to be more popular. It's called "Gore Gore O Banke Chhore." Here's the song from the original movie, not from the version used in A Suitable Boy.

How disappointing! You got my hopes up. I thought there was going to be a film about Cherry Apsley Garrard, a fascinating man who went to the South Pole with Robert Falcon Scott. Cherry did come back, though. This is one of the great biographies, and it would make a great film.
