Baldwin (a Leo) and Nina Simone (a Pisces) in the early 60s -- can you imagine? These two leaving a jazz club in Greenwich together, it's raining, the streets are wet, and this is normal.

An unsung #film I recently discovered for myself is Buck and The Preacher. Directed by #SidneyPoitier and starring him and #HarryBelafonte , it is a brilliant deconstruction of the #western - it takes about 20 minutes to get off the ground, but once it does, damn. It is a critique of the genre similar to the one #JamesBaldwin posits in #TheDevilFindsWork - #westerns #cinemastudies #LitStudies #filmstudies @litstudies
