"The only way men can respond to a star is to gaze at it from their remote planet. And even when a star passes out of our sight in the sequence of orbits; we believe that it exists still and feel the gravitational pull it exerts" ............ David Thomson in The New Biographical Dictionary of Film.

Laszlo's on Lex ..... Perhaps
A portal, perhaps, attempting to bring the distant near. A reminiscence of films and players seen during 70 years. First seen in dark buildings surrounded by strangers and now watched again and again on diminished screens. Herewith some random thoughts on that flickering past. Remember when the lights went on and we had to leave the theatre? From Rick’s Café Americain to Lexington Avenue? Laszlo's on Lex.

I love Nightmare Alley! It's such a brilliant film noir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Millie. I agree about "Nightmare Alley." And I have long been a fan of Helen Walker and Joan Blondell. One of Tyrone Power’s best roles. Appreciate your comment.
