It doesn't share much in common plot or score-wise (since only a fraction of the score was retained) with the Gershwin play but it's still enjoyable. It also has uncredited choreography by Busby Berkeley.

They're still missing the extra three seconds of the intro from the British release though.

"Such much?"

Liebe Dein Symptom wie Dich selbst! - This German documentary is about the Hegelian- Lacanian philosopher Zizek. In his interviews, he discusses American and European culture and the state of the world after the fall of the Yugoslav regime. He discusses everything from ethnic tensions in the Balkans and rumors about Yugoslav officials to Richard Wagner and Orpheus to American films like Get Shorty and To Die For ("a beautifully Brechtian film"). Worthwhile documentary on philosophy and psychoanalysis.

Perhaps he's back to using one of his other accounts.

You're very right that "flower girl" is a very wonderful theme. Another one I like quite a bit is "smile" from Modern Times.

Hope everyone had a good Easter.

Chaplin composed so many great scores.

The silent version of King of Kings is coming on tonight and it reminded me of this one liner given by a film critic of the time - "saw the picture, loved the book."

Seems written intentionally to stoke fear into the reader. As for the commercials, I don't mind them as long as they stay after/ before the movie. I don't even mind the wine ad much anymore.

I think Bette Davis was really overrated. She wasn't a good actress and was a bit homely. As for comedians, I think Joe E. Brown was just annoying with that odd laugh of his.

Ethnic tensions used to be much worse in Chicago/ Illinois during that time period. In the 1919 there was a major race riot in Chicago. It is often said that the young Mayor Daley (then only 17) had a hand in that even though he never officially acknowledged it.

She definitely seems off her rocker. Her husband must be nuts too to believe in all that "witchcraft" and "cauldrons" stuff.
