One thing I did notice (perhaps because I'm a natural-born redhead), is how many redhead and brunette women feature in art, a fact that may have some bearing on the notion that blondes are inherently "evil" in literature (as the name "Linda" and all its variants also is).<BR/><BR/>Additionally, the brief Klimt glimpse reminded me that one of the best cop films of all time, IMO, rarely makes those "best-of" lists; but, certainly, it ought to do so: <I>Bad Timing</I>. Highly recommended (and worth watching several times to catch everything Roeg tosses at its viewers. Even Art Garfunkel sparkles in it, BION!) It's my second-fave film of all time. Another kind of "cop" film, Liliana Cavani's <I>The Night Porter</I>, will always be my first cinematic love (and, I watch it a couple times a year on a friends VHS system, I'm such an addict!)<BR/><BR/>But, de nada, Nigel, after all the beauty of your Ottawa autumn pics, I'm happy to make you happy.Judith Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630731762216185341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10178279.post-65488518063521460602008-11-06T10:07:00.000-05:002008-11-06T10:07:00.000-05:00Wow.
