Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 2)

Kimberley Musings

I missed the golf link walk this am - got up to late after 6.30am so not allowed there. What caused the lateness I hear you ask with a deafening and silent roar.

well I awoke around 3am which I enjoy because of some great oldie films you can catch - usually half way through but it doesn't seem to matter. First one was, Night of the Hunter b/w of course. And I quote "this is the only film directed by British Actor Charles Laughton, and is a masterpiece of menace. Robert Mitchum plays a psychopathic preacher searching for a fortune in hidden loot" A religious fanatic [robert mitchum] marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real daddy hid $10,000 he'd stolen in a robbery.

the mother and wife is played by shelley winters. I didn't find the plot very interesting but always fascinates me is the sets - it is set in the American great depression - the supporting actors [male and female] are very realistic and despite it's drama it is a fun film to watch.

the second film didn't grab me - all about a couple divorcing and the effects on their 9yr old daughter 1946 and no one that I could recognize.

some more interesting ones coming up friday early but I don't always make it. switzerland, germany and hungry - I watch them for the scenery if the plot is boring!

and now back to the dog to save you wondering!

fortunately we have a vacant 5 acre block around the corner with more trees than house so when the golf links are off limit were meander around the block!

What a strange name for the Daughter, 1946.

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 2)

Gumbud, love the synopsis's, (synopsese?).

DEAD OF NIGHT.
I recall a 5 part spooky thriller with an unsettling groundhog type theme running throughout.
Most memorable for me is the segment where a ventriloquist
(a truly manic Michael Redgrave) is taken over by the dummy.
A whole concept on is own.

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 2)

That’s very interesting about the monks Gumbud, must take an awful lot of practice to get it right, but well worth it I’d say.
I have to say Night of the Hunter was a very enjoyable film for me (and the wife) we watched it just after Christmas not having seen it for decades, well worth another look for those who like a good thriller. Never knew Laughton directed it, I did know he discovered Angela Landsbury (Murder she wrote) when she was very young, she has a place in County Cork now and spends part of her year there, she goes about her shopping in the village where she is well respected but left in peace by her neighbours, marvellous woman for her years.
