To medical professionals, there may be different nuances here. This is the popular understanding.
I'm not religious or superstitious, but this is very odd. Ivor Novello died in 1951 of a heart attack. Noel Coward, one of his best friends, died in 1973, 51 years ago, of a heart attack. Christopher Hassall, Novello's librettist, died in 1963, at the age of 51, also of a heart attack! Breakin the 51 theme but remaining with the health one, Clifton Webb, friend of Coward, died of a heart attack, as did both Gilbert and Sullivan, who influenced Novello! As for Hassall, I now have all sorts of lovely things to download from him! His RP accent is absolutely beautiful, as are his tones, and he is very much worth seeking out.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 14: A dolphin spotted on #NationalDolphinDav

Shot on location in #Greece, sponge diver Phaedra (Sophia Loren) makes a splash when she finds an ancient statue of A Boy on a Dolphin*, rumoured to bring good luck to her town. Her attempts to sell it to the highest bidder makes not only the bronze but also her the object of desire of an honest archaeologist and an unscrupulous playboy antiques dealer.

* not only the title of this movie bus also possibly a reference to #Arion, son of the inhabitants of Lesbos (would that make this movie a bit too wild for 1957?), or #Taras, son of Poseidon and Satyrion. According to Greek legend, both mythological characters were saved by #dolphins.

CLASSIC MOVIE REVIEW: Gene Tierney in LAURA from STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies

I love that everyone who's a suspect, is allowed to tag along with McPherson while he investigates the murder.

Dana Andrews as McPherson with Clifton Webb, Vincent Price and Judith Anderson in LAURA (1944).

Remembering American film, stage and radio actor, #CliftonWebb (1899-1966), born Webb Parmlee Hollenbeck in Indianapolis #onthisday. A ballroom dancer and star of vaudeville and Broadway musicals, on film he excelled as aloof misanthropes and narcissists. Magnificent as dirt-digging, poisonous columnist Waldo Lydecker in Otto Preminger's #Laura (1944), he memorably reteamed with Gene Tierney in #TheRazorsEdge and portrayed the duplicitous gallery owner in #TheDarkCorner (both 1946).
