ALTHEA
Look, why don't you let me tell
the Captain that you didn't mean
what you said and that you
won't mention it again.

TONY
I can't promise that, Althea. Not
when I know what's going to happen.

ALTHEA
You don't know! Nobody knows. You can't!

Many happy returns to Susan Hampshire, Althea Hall in the pilot episode of The Time Tunnel, "Rendezvous with Yesterday".

Gidget (1959), the first surfer girl movie. Sandra Dee is amazingly charming. Lightweight amusing romantic fun that takes its heroine's struggles with growing up quite seriously. But the ending is - well let's just say I hated the ending.

My 14yo had some questions about the lovely #JamesDarren ❤️ as #VicFontaine on #StarTrek #DS9 S6&7.
14yo: So those are real songs?
Me: What do you mean by “real”? He’s really singing them….
14yo: I mean were they made up for the show or…
Me: No. They existed before the show. They’re called “Standards”—part of “The Great American SongBook.”
14yo: They’re from a book?

Venus in Furs (AKA Paroxismus) from 1969 is one of Jess Franco’s most satisfying films. It’s a dream-like hallucinogenic movie that plays havoc with reality and illusion.

Franco was a jazz aficionado and was interested in the idea of structuring movies like jazz improvisations.

Stars James Darren and Maria Rohm. Superb movie.
