This evening's viewing distraction: just spotted this on the BBC iPlayer, so a revisit to a 1950s classic SF/Horror (which decades later would inspire one of the best horrors of all time), with The Thing From Another World.

This evening I am keeping myself distracted with a revisit to early Hammer adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles, with the great Peter Cushing, to keep my mind off things.

The film just hit the iconic "who wants to be a millionaire" song sequence, and it suddenly struck me that nearly seven decades on since the movie, if it were being filmed today they'd have to update it to billionaires.

"Who wants to be a billionaire? I don't! Put colonies on Mars and ruin Twitter? I don't..." 🎵

"End of the song, start of the story..."

This evening's viewing distraction: some classic musical fun with High Society. Bing Crosby, Satchmo, Sinatra, and the goddess that is Grace Kelly.

J'aime beaucoup Tati.

This evening's viewing distraction: going classic with Hitchcock's North by Northwest. Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, that Bernard Hermann score, and those fabulous Saul Bass titles.
