...but we found what appears to be a human tibia in our yard, so may be a bit busy today.
Anyone we know?
Were you maybe thinking of
this with regard to the Indianapolis speech? Carl Gottlieb gives a lot of credit to Shaw for the final product and recalls that Spielberg passed the original work by Sackler around to a lot of associates looking for opinions. Gottlieb maintains that Spielberg's friendship with Milius colors his recollection; so even assuming Spielberg as director has the final word, it's an interesting thought.
Then again, consider Gottlieb is a writer -- he could either have a more even-handed view of the process, having been a part of it, or he could have an axe to grind if, for example, he personally disliked Milius or something. Love a good debate.
The world was blessed with one Shirley Schrift 102 years ago yesterday, and TCM made her Star of the Day. One of the films offered was
Meet Danny Wilson, a fairly rare find starring Frank Sinatra as a young singer whose career takes off once he makes a deal with a mobster. Like that ever really happens! /s Good thing I recorded it, as my close personal friend insomnia let me down. But looking forward to checking it out. Ms Schrift dished a bit on Sinatra in one of her books -- she considered him a bit of a jerk.
