This Sunday, November 12th at 3pm ET / 1pm MT / 12pm PT, we will be watching and sharing our thoughts on the 1945 movie "Brief Encounter," starring Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard
This small gem of a movie shows a woman, a bit bored with her nice husband, marriage and life, slowly and almost accidentally slipping into an affair with a kind and gentle man.

Please join us tomorrow, November 12th at 3pm ET / 1pm MT / 12pm PT, for "Brief Encounter," to see Celia Johnson wear this really cool hat.
Who would think a woman wearing a conservative herringbone suit, a cashmere crewneck sweater and a string of pearls - and with a sensible hairdo - would be carrying on a torrid extramarital love affair, but as we're learning this month, even British women go wild.*
*Andrea Doria's outstanding wording.

The Continuing Adventures of Fawn and Me
Me: [enthusiastically] "Pretty good movie last week, huh?"
Fawn: "Uh-huh, who chose it?"
Me: "I did."
Fawn: "Ehhhhhh, with anyone's help?"
Me: [miffed] "No."
Fawn: [muttering] "I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then."
Me: "What?"
Fawn: "Nothing. What's on tap for this week?"
Me: "Brief Encounter."
Fawn: "You Googled 'outstanding British post-war movies' didn't you?"
Me: "Oh come on!"
Fawn: "Uh-huh. Hey, any Necco Wafers left?"
Me: [excitedly] "Yes."
Fawn: "Any pink ones?"
Me: [sighing disparagingly] "Somebody, I'm not saying who, opened a bunch of rolls and seemed to only eat the pink ones."
Fawn: [innocently] "Well how bout that."
Me: [sarcastically] "Yes, how bout that."

Some of the best motion picture adaptations have come from Noel Coward stories.
I have this film on a disc with CAVALCADE (1933) which is my favorite Noel Coward story.

I think you introduced me to this one. It's a good one.

I'm so glad Fawn is getting into Necco Wafers! Pink ones are a good starter color, in time he can work up to black.
I'm getting all psyched to see Trevor again. I think this is the forth one in a row for me, counting the one I watched a few weeks ago during my Graham Greene period.

Muir Mathieson again, apparently, he's the only man who conducts music for movies in all of England.

She's English, it's on the inside.
