I was in LOC on 9/11. When they decided to evacuate it was pretty fast then. Of course there was fear of the fourth plane hitting either White House or Capitol across the street!
When Charade (1963) was first release, this American boy was bowled over by this suspense thriller and the classiness of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. I was in high school and hoped someday, I would be able to visit some of the European spots that appeared in the film. 1/3
I was impressionable; the slick romance thriller with the exciting music by Henry Mancini made this film one of my all time favorites. Sadly, it wasn't until 46 years later, I made my first trip to those locations that helped shaped my interest in film. 2/3
On this day in 1945, exactly two weeks after the United States defeated Germany in WWII, Humphrey Bogart married Lauren Bacall at the Ohio farm of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield. Bacall would later say: “No one has ever written a romance better than we lived it.”
In a Lonely Place, a fantastic film noir featuring one of Humphrey Bogart’s very best performances, premiered in New York City on this day in 1950. Both @TIME and @BBCFilm rank it as one of the best films ever, and @Slant_Magazine named it the greatest film noir of all time.
