When the Child was a Child...from Wings Of Desire

Unfaithfully Yours (1948) - Be vulgar, by all means

Abed, this morning....by happenstance....stepping on the remote control.....this underrated Preston Sturges film was beginning........It has the very best Marx Bros-ish  'comic apartment destruction', by Rex Harrison,  scene and Harrison's scenes, conducting the orchestra, channeling his emotions, that have arisen from his paranoid obsessions about his much younger wife's possible dalliance with his character's 'right hand man', ..........Referencing, on many levels,  Hitchcock's films from this Period.......note.....the surrealist painting in the apartment....not in this clip, alas.....and Dali's  dream sequence in 1945's Spellbound....It's all in the details.....  Just ignore the British sexism, that, today, seems as impertinently offensive, as the snotty references to social class.......  (note:  only two women in the Orchestra....Harpist and 'page turner', who 'does' her nails between page turns......)   [note: comment.....for some 'new' reason, I was unable to post the video link or embed it within this post!]
