Sleek 'Dark Victory'
LAST NIGHT WAS HEAVENLY. I watched the clever, psycho-flavored 1939 film called 'Dark Victory on Turner Classic. What a marvelous movie experience. In this 'Dark Victory' Bette Davis plays the part of a wild, edgy woman with numerous mental oddities and then later in the film story her brain goes into a crazed angst and she faces death. The imaginative performances of Bette Davis, George Brent and Geraldine Fitzgerald are mesmerizing in this quirky movie. I find films of the 30s and 40s are indeed so sparkly and full of strange filmdom colors and tones of soulful thought. It is such a heavenly pleasure to thoroughly enjoy a movie. With 'Dark Victory' the enjoyment level is so high. Also the acting work of a young Humphrey Bogart (playing a horseman) is emotionally satisfying and so vigorous intellectually in this one. Indeed the one called 'Dark Victory' in the total sense is such a gigantic, huge win of an experience.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

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....
