Fascinating Film; Bacall and Sinatra
Film, design art and great music are the energetic levels that spice up a life. Last night I watched the old Noir film effort, 'The Big Sleep' with B. and B., in other words Bacall and Bogart. It was so strong, so good. This particular work, based on the clever work of the fine mystery writer, Mr. Raymond Chandler, is so marvelously overwhelming. The acting is superior. The set designs are great, sort of reminding one of grand NY interior design concepts happening now. Interior design is really exciting. Bacall has a wonderful total overall feminine look. Fascinating, a bit remindful of the very interesting fashion work of the grand Escada. While delving into fine film I went overboard turning on the magical musical vocal stylings of Frank Sinatra. That man, Sinatra, is so incredible. Man, yes, that sleek Sinatra tone is so wild and engaging. Sinatra, just like Bacall and Bogart, has that dimension of Genius, a thrilling power that's so meaningful. Great film, glam fashion, magnificent interior design--what exciting elements that possess the raw fulsome power to really energize one.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
Hey i'm an young Film Maker from the UK and just like to say that not only you're insight into Film and Art was what drew me to your blog, but your passion is something i admire. I'm reading books about Film Noir and it's something that fascinates me, more so than neo-noir.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I enjoyed two hours of Sinatra songs last night in a program by Adam Komesar, an Atlanta crooner who does the tunes in his own style, voice, but as a tribute to Sinatra and the American songbook. It was an entertaining way to pass a couple of hours and, of course, he was able to only scratch the surface of the Sinatra repertoir. Komesar performs weekly at a club/restaurant at Atlantic Station.
