The Flimwell Papers presents the caption contest….just reblog with a caption that exercises your sense of humour fully and I’ll work out the prizes later…
From the movie, Double Bunk directed by the great C. M. Pennington-Richards, this photo is of Janette Scott. Good Ol’C.M. did it all, directed, produced, camera work and probably built a few sets in his time too.
my Uncle Zeke’s buddy Sterling Hayden is in this movie too…great flick one of my top ten desert isle DVD’s now! And the closing sequnce’s song is by Vera Lynn who was back in the charts again this year at the age of 90+

The Classic Art Reblog of the day
You must hand it to lacontessa she gives good image(s) and her blog is one of the best on Tumblr…..I reblog this because it is referenced in so many other works I see these days ( photogrpahy, graphic etc). He’s both part of the classical past and a look into the neo-realist future. Mario Tozzi
Mario Tozzi, Mirage, 1929

On my little bistro’s table as I sip a brandy and try not to what the medicos told me to do….well, after all I’m in Paris and it is a very reading friendly city!

From my Darlin’ Nicci..and it is all this and then some….
Nicci Talbot-Morris I was in love with Barry Ryan in 1968 and remember this film - the pretty blonde, the white horses, the waves crashing on the shore, floaty white dresses, an afghan hound, the moody looks all captured in close ups and cutting edge prism lens shots…and in the background the camp pomposity of Eloise. Priceless
Have a GREAT THANKSGIVING now!

Louis Armstrong and Johnny Cash performing “Blue Yodel #9” live on The Johnny Cash Show, October 1970.
I saw this on Mr. Cash’s show when it aired, I have all the shows in a very nice digital set, but this one gets my heart every time….and….is just one of 120,000 reasons why I believe Louis Armstrong was the great single musical figure of the 20th century. Watch this video, and if the sheer joy of it doesn’t touch your soul, then leave this earth with no soul It was shot just a few months before Armstrong died; his warmth, humour, tone, and love will always be remembered. I was SO lucky to have seen Mr. Louis Armstrong play live.
