" The programme was filmed at Stanlake Park in Berkshire, using the causeway to Osea Island, near Goldhanger in Essex, and the local salt marshes"... (a spooky place even on a sunny day)!

Oo! A few frissons! Mind you, it's all in the music, she said, with her back pressed firmly against the cushions on the couch... Glad I watched in broad daylight.

When I first saw this film years ago it made an immense impression on me, and I have been lucky enough to be given a copy on DVD.

The 'Good German' - Marlene Dietrich vs. The Nazis [13:52]

The song Lilly Marlene should have made both sides realize the idiocy of war! It wasn't her fault that they didn't, mind.

She was an extraordinary woman, whatever the case.

Her fascination with Jean Gabin is an interesting story...

More sense like this from William Shatner,

"We are trying to go to Mars but don’t even really know what’s going on 2“-6“ below the feet in our soil. That’s why his quote resonates deeply with me: "

Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe.

I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn't see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with.

I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.

This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside.

I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable.“

-- William Shatner, actor

I agree. Never thought I'd think that about William Shatner.

The Dancing Fool - from Breakfast of Champions.

“As for the story itself, it was entitled “The Dancing Fool.” Like so many Trout stories, it was about a tragic failure to communicate.

Here was the plot: A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on Earth to explain how wars could be prevented and how cancer could be cured. He brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives conversed by means of farts and tap dancing. Zog landed at night in Connecticut.

He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on fire. He rushed into the house, farting and tap dancing, warning the people about the terrible danger they were in. The head of the house brained Zog with a golfclub.”

Jane Birkin dies aged 76. So many happy memories for me around the time of 'Je T'aime...moi non plus'. Amazing to think the Vatican condemned the song!
