The Times has a free offer today of a DVD ... The Millionairess starring
Sophia Loren and Peter Sellers and many others ... it reminds me of telephone
calls I have had of an international variety when the guy on the end of the
line in
Europe .... is so "in love" that his heart is positively pounding and I can feel
the vibrations of his heartbeat all the way here at this staggering distance ...
reminded me of this film ... and an enjoyable walk down memory lane it
turned out to be ..... with many wonderful flashbacks of crazy clothes and
really good comedy .... Oh! Doctor I''m in trouble ... is the line of the song
and the next line is "Goodness gracious me!" Still is a great favourite and a
wonderful addition to my DVD collection.
In the Magazine ... strike a pose - feature on Bryan Ferry and his Roxy Music
built on a dream of glamour which shot Ferry out of his poor working class origins .. and made him into a
style phenomenon and Rock Star.
I read sometime ago that Norman Mailer the American writer had sorted out his book
signing in the UK by some sort of internet signing online ... I turned up for mine and having been an
oral examiner for 20
years it was important to do so ... as years ago my students would fail their oral examinations if they failed to "
turn up" for the test ... a five minute talk on a topic ... on stage. Norman Mailer and his wife of 32 years Mrs Norman Mailer has launched herself on a literary career probably due to the influence of her husband .. Norris Church Mailer 58 is 5 ft 10 ins tall and a UK size 2 ... due to suffering from cancer ... but she has managed to deal with it and write her second book ... great stuff!
Keep on
reading the Times ... excellent reading ...
