  1. 3 things about Otto Preminger’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE [1958]

    1. Deborah Kerr’s cashmere (?) car dress in ivory.
    2. The patio at twilight. On the right, the group tanks up prior to their trip to the casino; on the left, the housemaid swigs a beer while standing behind the bar.
    3. Subterranean powder room with an asymmetrical mirror.

  2. I've always meant to see Preminger's "Bonjour Tristesse" since hearing Tuxedomoon's song of the same name. What an odd movie! Niven and Seberg are great as a spoiled vapid nouveau riche family. And, it includes a paraphrase of Baudelaires' "Be Always Drunken" prose poem in the script, recited by an appropriately drunk character. Nice use of color and black and white for contrast and dramatic effect, (the B&W sections are particularly beautiful).

  3. Enjoyed the heck out of this Jimmy Stewart classic. 🍿🎥⚖️ Great legal thriller with tense court room drama, the mayor of Amity Island from Jaws, Duke Ellington, Ben Gazzara from The Big Lebowski, and Lee Remick ❤️
