Friends who understand Italian, can you provide me a translation of the lyrics heard in the opening titles of this film? [starting at 0:15] www.youtube.com/watch?v=bszT... IL CAMMINO DELLA SPERANZA / THE PATH OF HOPE (1950)
Reading some of Willa Cather's Pittsburgh short stories this morning.
Thank you!
Can anyone tell me what this instrument is? A transverse flute with the embouchure hole near the middle. This is a scene from Kurosawa's THE QUIET DUEL. Is the actor just playing the instrument incorrectly?
After watching MEET ME IN ST LOUIS (1944) on TCM, I realized that "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was forty years old in 1984. That is how old Van Halen's "Jump" is now.
Dang. I haven't seen this thing since 1989, but I found it in a tub of stuff that my mother asked me to go through.
After the show, when Tiny Tim came out to bow, my nephew said, "His leg is fine!" A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens
Mr. President, why are you yelling? We are the only two people in this room.
Well, my TCM app isn't working, so I'll be watching a DVD I borrowed from the library: Azur & Asmar, The Princes' Quest, music by Gabriel Yared
Gonna be a TCM @tcmparty.bsky.social Saturday. Then, I'm reading the new Taylor Swift book by Rob Sheffield.
Ella Jenkins has passed away. I use "You'll Sing a Song" every time I lead storytime. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/10/o...
Musicology friends, I've been trying to watch more Japanese films. Two films I've watched - Twenty-Four Eyes (1954) and From up on Poppy Hill (2011) - featured "Annie Laurie" in the underscore. Is this tune known by some other name in Japan, or does the tune have some significance to the Japanese?
Watching "About Last Night" for the first time. Been mostly bored with it, but this moment made me laugh out loud
LOWE: Is this your ShoSTACKovich?
PERKINS: It's Shah Stah Ko Vich and it's mine
Figured my first post should be Oscar Levant related. Thursday in rock class, before demonstrating a 12-bar blues in boogie-woogie style, I explained I would play with my "customary arthritic abandon." No one laughed. That's ok.
