MUST-SEE FILMS FOR BUILDING A FILM LIBRARY
Don't Look Now, one of Julie Christie's best movies, based on the Daphne du Maurier story. One of the great Gothic horror films, it's set in Venice and is still considered a great film. (I won't tell you about the sex scene as it's unladylike: but do some research and you'll see why Donald Sutherland was in trouble and why Christie's boyfriend Warren Beatty demanded they edit it out.)

I love your Advent calender of ideas, I have written several down. One can never go wrong with a book or not cards. Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful day.

Haven't subscribed to Vogue in years, may have to now on the Librarian's recommendation.

P.S. I QuickFlixed A Royal Affair over the weekend, it was fabulous. Even MOTH managed to stay awake & keep up with the Danish sub-titles. After drooling over Mads Mikkelsen he's got an instant gong on my Pinterest 'gorgeous' board. He's in great company there, so that will absolutely cement his fame.
Love the Jo Malolne image but when I saw Aust Vogue in the flesh I couldnt help giggling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting in all this effort, so we can reap the rewards of your amzing knowledge.
Also, a fan of Don't Look Now. Daphne Du Maurier wrote some other short stories eg The Blue Lenses which are worth seeking out.
